Three minutes taxi ride from the airport and we (me,54, my wife 21 she tells me and our youngest son 15) drew up outside the Corfu Palace Hotel - and what a beautiful floral sight, both grounds and setting. Porters literally rushed to take our cases and Reception couldn't have been nicer. We'd reserved a room with an extra bed for our 15 year old son. When we got to the room there was a little Z bed there - he's 6' 2". The porters held up their hands in astonishnment and assured us it would be changed -within 3 min it was & maids rushed in to make the beds -we asked for more pillows -they were there in seconds.

The room decor was tired (we were on the 5th floor) but I've yet to see an "old style" Uk hotel any better - and the view and the service soon makes you forget any shortcomings. If you want new go stay in a budget hotel with no aura. The airconditioning worked . Mozzy scarers and lotions were available in the little shop by the hairdressers, although we had no problems with them till the last night in the gardens. A short walk into the beautiful Corfu Town built by the Venetians, dinner in Town and a pleasant eveneing later at the Pool Bar was repeated pretty well every night.

Next morning - well what a breakfast. In 25 years of staying in UK hotels, sometimes a different one every night I've never seen the equal of it - even a chef standing by to cook fresh eggs. The new Manager later told me that he regularly reads this site and tries to correct any shortcomings. He added that they've just spent a fortune on the outdoor pool and 600,000 euros on updating the kitchens. He admits the next job is the rooms.

As advised the BBQ is well worth the price and every Tuesday night the manager has a free cocktail hour to meet and chat to the guests. Would we go back in Corfu Palace Hotel ....definite yes and probably this year and I know that the minute I walk through the door I'll be greeted ny name.
