Sunshine Corfu Hotel & Spa 4*
Rested from 18 to 28 August 2013 (11 days).
Two adults and an 8 year old child.
Tour operator "Biblio-Globus". Carrier "Transaero".
Host of Beleon Tour.
Number:
2nd floor bungalow with sea view ("Greek Village").
- the room has a double bed + a bed for a child (single),
- a small balcony overlooking the garden (gorgeous palm trees) and the sea, there are two chairs and a table on the balcony,
- air conditioning in the room is specific, but quite easy to manage,
- tiles on the floor, - TV - one Russian channel "Planeta-RTR", - mini-bar meets with a bottle of mineral water (no longer replenished), - safe is free (divided into two parts, each is closed with its own key), - in the bathroom hair dryer, shampoo, - room cleaning is average, towels were changed if you folded them in a pile on the floor, - towels and swimwear were dried on the balcony on chairs and railings (the humidity was very high, it was still wet in the morning).
We were satisfied with the room, size, view from the balcony, we love the bungalow, because. the main building is too noisy.
The only negative in the bungalows are strong drops (jumps) of water - in the cold side, it was a little annoying.
Beach:
We were on the Ionian Sea for the first time - an unforgettable experience.
The sea is very clean, transparent, fish swim.
View of Albania from the sea.
The beach is small, sand and pebbles, by 9 am all the sunbeds are already occupied (apparently they put towels before breakfast).
There were no jellyfish, it was stormy only on the day of departure.
On the beach you can play beach volleyball at 10-30 and 16-30.
There are water sports, you can go canoeing.
Our wishes to the hotel - there are a lot of people who want to sunbathe on the beach, and the beach is really small for such a hotel, so develop the beach towards the volleyball court.
Pools:
1) Relax pool (quiet) - quite clean, depth from 1 meter to 2 meters, divided by a ladder in the middle, all sunbeds are always occupied.
2) Activity pool (where all the animation takes place) - up to 3 meters deep.
On the side where 3 meters - the bottom is heavily silted - very dirty (we lost our swimming goggles, we dived and did not find it).
Near this pool there is a snack bar where lunches are held from 12-30. (for those who do not want to go from the beach to the main restaurant).
Our wishes to the hotel - to hang a wall clock (I think it's not expensive) - by the pools and on the beach, because. there is no clock anywhere.
Bars:
In the bars you can drink coffee and tea. Various carbonated drinks. They make cocktails, good enough, not diluted. All famous cocktails are available.
There are water coolers on the beach, by the pool, but the trouble is, in the bars they don’t give bottles of water to the room, you have to pour from the cooler yourself (or buy water bottles).
Animation:
The animation is completely French. ~ 70% of tourists are French.
Mini disco at 9 pm, in French, we didn't like it.
Show (performances) at 21-45 - also in French, with translation into English.
All shows are musical - fully prepared by animators.
There is a kids club - I can’t say anything, we didn’t go.
Our wishes to the hotel - respect Russian tourists - let the animation be in Russian.
Hotel area:
Large cascade-step.
Everything is buried in greenery, flowers, pines, cypresses.
Small shy lizards run.
From insects - there are wasps - a lot during lunch on the street, drove away - no one was bitten.
There are also mosquitoes, when they decided to open the balcony at night - they flew in.
In the evening, they did not bite on the street.
There are two souvenir shops near the hotel (the hotel itself also has a "mini market") prices are cheaper than in the hotel.
And so there is nowhere to walk, you need to rent a car and explore the island yourself.
Car rental is available at the hotel, reasonably good prices.
SPA - did not visit, record as in A la carte restaurants at the reception.
Nutrition:
Very tasty, high quality and varied.
- Breakfast from 7 am: orange juice, oatmeal, muesli, yogurt, scrambled eggs, omelettes, toast, sausages, various cheeses, baked pancakes, croissants, croutons.
- Lunch from 12-30: you can have lunch both in the main restaurant and by the pool.
For lunch and dinner - always ice cream - you come up and spin the balls yourself.
- Dinner from 19-00: a wide variety of salads, meat, fish.
- Fruits: delicious watermelons, melon, grapes, peaches, apricots, plums, pears, apples, oranges.
- Sweets: tiramisu, jelly, cream cakes, cream cakes, once there was baklava.
- Drinks: you pour everything yourself: 3 types of wine, beer, cola sprite, juices: cherry, orange, apple.
Our wishes to the hotel - do not skimp on air conditioners in the main restaurant - turn them on, it is very stuffy.
Excursion from Beleon Tour:
Sea excursion with barbecue.
From 10 am to 5 pm on a ship in the northeast of the island.
The first stop is sailing from the ship at the “grotto”, the second stop in the bay is swimming and on the shore of a barbecue from the captain of the ship: barbecue, homemade Greek wine, for dessert, caviar of sea urchins.
The third stop is the city of Kassiopi: they give an hour of time to inspect the church, the remains of the Byzantine fortress (it has a beautiful view of the sea) and walk along the souvenir streets.
The last stop on the way back - in a beautiful bay - swimming.
Car rental:
We rented a car right at the hotel, for a day 80 euros "Peugeot 308", took the mechanics (because the roads are mostly uphill). When we took the car in the tank there were 10 liters of gasoline, the same amount must be returned.
Filled with 20 liters - more than enough. Taking into account that we left at 9 am and returned by 19 pm.
Gasoline is not cheap 1 liter = 1 euro 76 cents.
I will briefly write our route (maybe it will be useful to someone):
It is better to download a map of Corfu at home and enter destinations using the navigator.
1) Corfu. We leave the car near Spinada Square and then the pedestrian zone begins.
- Visited the Old Castle, entrance 4 euros,
- Spinada square, streets with numerous cafes,
- Church of St. Spyridon (worshiped the relics),
- went around the old narrow streets of the city, bought souvenirs, had a bite (dinner) in the same place
- for three pizza and drinks cost 20 euros.
2) Achileion Palace.
- entrance 7 euros, at the entrance you are photographed by a photographer and at the exit you can buy a photo framed by the sights of Achilleion.
- walked around the palace of Queen Sisi, went out into the garden,
- panoramic views of the city, the sea, the statues of Achilles.
3) The throne of the emperor. (Point Pelekas)
Tourists are not brought here, you can get there by car.
Excellent observation deck with binoculars.
4) Paleokastritsa.
- visited the monastery,
- mini-park-zoo - peacocks, geese,
- excellent panoramic views of the sea, beach, bay,
(Unfortunately, the child was already tired and we did not visit the Angelokastro castle and the village of Lakones near Paleokastritsa).
5) Sidari.
We stopped at this place to admire the beautiful bay and the huge sandy beach.
Our entire journey took 10 hours (although without swimming, it was possible to visit Kassiopi if desired, but we had already been there during a sea excursion).
Our general impression of Greece, in particular, of the island of Corfu:
Very hospitable, friendly people live here.
The hotel has unobtrusive service.
The chic Ionian Sea is in our area of Nissaki!
