Corfu Imperial, A Grecotel Resort to Live

Simply breath taking

We had an amazing time staying at the Grecotel Corfu Imperial and I can't say enough good things about the place! It's really beautiful, our room was stunning, it has lots of choices of places to sunbathe/relax, to dine at and the staff were amazing - particularly Charoula (Concierge), Panos (Head of F&B) and Jessie (Head Waiter). I arranged a private meal for my boyfriend's birthday and the team couldn't do enough to make it special. The surrounding area is really beautiful and we enjoyed hours in the sea exploring and cooling off. We will definitely be returning once we've checked-out a few more Grecotel's in Greece :)

Beautiful older hotel

Beautiful resort. Property not as sprawling as it appears from photos. Nice decor in main building, elegant with bit of old world glamour. The room was clean, light and bright with lots of mirrors, bed was comfortable and there was a nice balcony with amazing views. Some furniture was a bit dated and the walls are a bit thin. What distinguishes this hotel are the views, the property was built to maximise views. Views from room, outdoor bars and dining areas and the pools and beaches are lovely and memorable. Beaches are sandy and gorgeous with comfortable sun loungers. I understand the outdoor pool was heated at around 23 degrees, but it felt colder than this. Pool was not well utilised as weather was quite cold in early May. It would be nice if the heated outdoor pool actually felt warm. The indoor pool is not warm. The gym is nice. The hotel has a shuttle to corfu town from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00, booking is required. It’s a 25 minute drive to the town. The shuttle stops in the heart of the town by the old fortress which is near a taxi stand and close to lots of shops and restaurants. The shuttle is great because the hotel is a bit isolated, main road is about 20 minute walk along a lonely steep road. Food was ok, staff at breakfast were great. The hotel is somewhat quiet. In the evening there seemed to be a lot more excitement and entertainment at nearby Eva Palace.

We had lovely vacations at Grecotel imperial: the staff was particularly welcoming , facilities were great in particular the heated pool and beaches. The food was also good ! Thanks

Fantastic resort, amazing service with lovely staff. Food great.

It has been hard to write this review, as overall the hotel is very beautiful and there are many great things about it- if we had been travelling as a couple looking to laze by the pool then I think we would have enjoyed it. But as a family it really wasn't good enough. Families are put in the Boschetto block, which looks lovely in the website. Sadly in real life is rather depressing. The block is stuck out back, miles away from the rest of the hotel and accessed by walking on the road with cars and golf carts whizzing past. Our suite overlooked a carpark and a scrubby service road. The 'family' pool was always empty as it was rather bleak with sharp edges all around the pool which made it quite unsuitable for kids to climb out. Many things didn't work in our room when we arrived (the phone, the air conditioning, the clock, the tv). The bathrooms are open plan so if you want any privacy from your family you have to get dressed inside the toilet or the shower. There is nowhere to dry any wet swimming things and nowhere to sit other than on the beds. It looked nice but had been badly planned for family use. Overall the hotel is nice. The landscape is pretty and the buffet is good. But there aren't enough loungers anywhere - we found that if you didn't put a towel down by 8am then you couldn't get a lounger by the pool or on any of the beaches. The kids were bored as it's very set up for adults but sadly there was little for them to do with few activities.

The staff were excellent. So very friendly and professional in a very COVID impacted situation. The hotel itself is goreous. The rooms all have amazing views, all the restaurants have excellent food and the pool is top class. It probably has the best location on Corfu and staffed by such friendly people. Very much enjoyed the stay here. Will visit again in the future.

This place was over the top. Your own pool, my gosh

The accommodations were very good. Service was outstanding and they were very accommodating to all our requests and needs.
