Went with my Dad during quiet season it’s nice peaceful nice place with nice walks along the Beach. ATM and local shops nearby and lots of restaurants too. Which we didn’t really use as we were All inclusive. Food in hotel was good me and Dad always had clean plates. I would visit again as would Dad.

I was told the beach front room I had been looking forward to had been flooded the night before as it had rained heavily so the apologised and gave us a room with same interior which overlooked the sea. In addition to that they gave us a bonus card which would entitle us to free hammam in the spa, free water slide, bottle of red wine in the restaurant, free sunbed, and on top of that dinner in one of the best restaurants with free taxi ride to and from the hotel. When I got into the hotel room they had provided me with a lovely surprise as it was my birthday which was really nice and kind of them. The restaurant they initially took us to were flooded/infested with cats (couldn't do it) and anyone would have just driven us back to the hotel but no, the driver got on the phone to the hotel explained what had happened and he took us to the best restaurant on a mountain top. Beautiful scenery and eat whatever we want including drinks (a lot of shots) and on top of that they surprised me with a cake (courtesy of the hotel). All in all we had the best time and although I was initially upset about not getting the room, in hindsight I'm glad we got all these instead of the room. The hotel manager Mariela and Vasos were great and all the other staff were helpful. Would recommend this hotel

We have to accept that as this was a last minute booking that we got what was left and we accept that bedrooms are basic in Greece, that said it would have been nice to have beds that were even the slightest bit comfortable, air-con did work (only in one room of the two bedroom bungalow) and room was clean, everything quite old and a little tatty. The dining experience was horrendous, food was cold presentation very poor, school dinners I remember being better, the layout was bad almost like being at the sales with people grabbing and pushing to try and get fed, staff worked very hard cleaning and laying tables. We have only been to two other all inclusive hotels (Cyprus and Dominican Republic) and this was the worst and not the cheapest. The Hotel favours the French holiday club that occupies half of the site , which looked better maintained and we were told by ex employees the rooms were of better standard and had been recently renovated, their swimming pools look so much better too. While we were there was a fatality on the beach and we were appalled by the length of time it took them to sort it, over 2 hours with only two sunbeds and a couple of sheets covering the poor gentleman up it was a disgrace.

The location is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and helpful, but there are some issues: the constant loud music by the pool and beach bar, the rather basic all-inclusive food (very little option for vegetarians) and the repeated power cuts and lack of water in the rooms. We stayed in one of the twin blocks, which were clean but basic. On the plus side, we were right by the pool and beach, with fantastic views. One thing to note: a large part of the hotel and facilities is taken up by a French holiday club and is only accessible by their members (who have different colour wristbands to general visitors).

The hotel is set in a great location. The hotel on first impression is good, the reception is in a great state. But then the rooms.......dated....limited....tired and in need of some 21st century love. The facilities were all there to use, swimming pools, beach, tennis court, basket ball court. The reception staff were great, always helping and smiling, the catering staff were tired and drained. Maybe end of season blues! The food is of a good standard, aimed more towards the European guest. But it was what we expected from an all inclusive hotel is Greece.

Lovely family experience, hotel accomodated for all types of weather, however we were lucky with lovely weather and our room being suitated right across from the beach. Disappointing that as we booked through expedia there was not a travel rep on site we could speak to, so therefore did not leave the site with the exception of a boat trip (which was fantastic and highly recommended) I would have liked to have seen more of Corfu, but unsure about transport etc.

We just came back from 1 week all inclusive holiday at Messonghi Beach... I have nothing negative to say at all .It was such a great experience specially for the kids...Lot's of activities for the kids including the dancing in the evening which they loved. The food was great with lots of options to choose and is not repetitive every day there's something different to eat.

Very good value for the money on all inclusive basis. The staff is nice, the food is good and varied. Loads of greenery around the complex, next to the sea and with several pools. Good facilities for kids. The only down-point for me was that there were no designated smoking areas, especially in the evening the hotels's terrace was full of smokers. It would be nice if the area was somehow divided as there were plenty of kids running around. Overall, very happy with the hotel and service and would recommend it for family holiday.

I would no recommend the resort to anyone. Staff was very rude, the hotel is old and needs to be renovated. Food was mediocre, same cuisine everyday and not very appealing. There was not much entertainment during the evening and you definitely need a car as there is not much to do at the resort or the surroundings.
