Cook's Club Corfu - Adults Only

If you're looking for a five-star luxury hotel, this isn't it. Here's my review, from the point of a middle-aged woman (if you're 18-30 you'll probably love it). Upon arrival, a friendly receptionist greeted us, reassuring that despite our late check-in, dining options were still available. After settling into our room—more on that shortly—we proceeded to the dining area, which resembled a large canteen. Surprisingly, we were instructed to sit and wait for our meal without a choice. We were eventually served cheese and ham wraps in dry pita bread accompanied by stale cake. As a vegetarian, it wasn't for me; after a lengthy wait, my wrap was reluctantly modified to include only lettuce. I gave up and went to bed hungry. Our first night was marred by noise from the busy road outside our bay-view room, with little respite from the sound of passing vehicles and the hotel car park. The request to change rooms was a long process, resulting in a "downgrade" exchanging traffic noise for the revelry of the younger guests with their bluetooth speakers blaring out their hit lists from their balconies. They're having fun, this isn't a problem, I just want to make you aware of the core demographics. The room design is so odd, I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned this. While aesthetically pleasing, the open-plan bathroom with its semi-transparent glass doors offered minimal privacy. The rooms also don't provide any sound proofing. We had a hen party in the room below, singing into the early hours every night, meaning, we have hardly slept. Again, they were having a great time, nothing on them, just know there's zero sound proofing. Regarding dining, the culinary experience was very poor. The ordering process was cumbersome, reliant on an app (there's no buffet like in normal all incs), and the wine selection was disappointingly basic (red, white or rose, all very cheap wines). I resorted to purchasing my own bottle from a shop 10 mins down the road. The specialty restaurants provided a glimpse of potential, yet access was limited to a single visit throughout our stay. While the pools were pleasant, the sun loungers prioritised style over comfort, leaving us with unwanted plastic basket effect imprints after prolonged use. The staff, albeit helpful, often seemed disengaged, with few exceptions among the more personable team members. In contrast, our previous stay last year at Grehotel (Eva Palace) was exemplary, showcasing a stark difference in guest experience. In summary, this hotel might appeal to a younger crowd (my teenage boys would love it), but for those of us seeking a blend of comfort and sophistication, it falls short. My recommendation would be to consider Grehotel for a more refined and enjoyable stay.

Just had a 7 night stay here for my partner’s 30th birthday and could not have dreamed of a better place to celebrate. The hotel is beautiful and extremely well kept, the staff are all fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Thank you so much to Vassia and maraming salamat Phoebe (guest relations) who took care of us the entire time and even sorted out a surprise cake on the day of my partner’s birthday. You really made it feel extra special ❤️ A big thank you also to the spa team, Vicky, Maria, Mariletta and Hara, who were all so lovely. I’m obsessed with their in-house blended massage oil, it’s the most beautiful scent I have ever come across (and they use local products to make it ✅) All the housekeeping, restaurant and bar staff too - thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back 😊🫶

This is definitely not a 5* hotel. The grounds, and the decor are beautiful, the breakfast has good variety and is enough, and the “bar bites” are also good. Dinner is terrible, I have to base this on the fact I paid £400 for all inclusive for a week, which is extremely good value and fair - however it doesn’t deserve a 5 star rating. Some bar staff are extremely friendly, some are miserable. Dinner is all ordered by an app, it’s all inclusive and brought to your table al a carte style, however after 3 nights and not a single good dish, we decided to have dinner in the old town, which I would highly recommend. Renting a car is also very cheap and easy, you can do it at the hotel or airport, the hotel itself is no where near anywhere worth visiting so unless your happy to stay at the hotel all week (perfectly doable but maybe a bit boring in the evenings) I’d recommend a car. You can either have lunch in the restaurant (we avoided as didn’t enjoy the dinner) or order from the bar by the pool, it looked like most did this, it was nicer food (for what is was) and changed daily. The drinks have plenty of choice, including cocktails spirits wines and beer - cocktails are nice enough, but do not expect 5* hotel quality cocktails or the classics. All bars are under staffed which leads to quite long ques at times. Overall this hotel is simple case of style over substance, it looks beautiful but underneath that it’s a 3 star at best. For a 5* hotel, an iron in your room, table bar service and high quality food, drinks and service are an absolute minimum.

A great return visit - we also stayed here last year. Superb pools, the best buffet food I've ever tasted which had plenty of variety over a week. And desserts to die for. We had an incredibly fantastic and unforgettable week. This five-star hotel is remarkably clean, modern, and perfect . The expansive pools ensure you never feel crowded due to the vastness of the area. Great Spa with a lot of comfort. The employees are very friendly and the treatment was a fantastic experience. 100% recommendation! Thanks to the whole Spa Team, and specialy Maria which made us feel so comfortable and providing us all the details about the treatments and to Viki which was always smiling .Great atmosphere and service.

1st things 1st. This is a great hotel that will allow you to relax and chill. Overall staff are welcoming and always want to help. Rooms are comfortable with all the basic amenities you would expect (tea/coffee etc) so why not a 5? Sunbeds - probably the most uncomfortable I have ever been on. Bring a base layer and that should sort it. Food/Restaurant - a small selection of traditional meals all freshly cooked (love it) however be prepared to have the meals brought to the table at different times. You could be waiting for your main while your partner is on desert. Not great. A simple tag on the meal app (yes you order by your phone) advising of wait times on popular meals should cure this. TV - if you like to wind down at the end of the day watching a bit of television (UK) then be prepared for 2 channel choice (world news and something else that I couldn’t work out). Not enough Bar staff - maybe because we are early in the season but there were many occasions 5 out of 6 days/nights so far that you are queuing for drinks ( all bars) Entertainment- this was good but you never really knew what was on. Flip chart board had some details but not clear enough. Also as there is 2 areas for entertainment we often (3 times) missed the DJ/dancing entertainment. Quiet - if you want complete quiet. Book at the back of the hotel. We were at the front but didn’t mind the noise. Check in - be prepared for a little wait. In summary all the issues were small and potentially insignificant by themselves, but all together…….,,

Hotel is beautiful. Restaurant is full of variety, amazing dishes & the quickest service. Everyone is super lovely, welcoming & accommodating to whatever you may need. The spa facilities!! A lovely spa. Variety of treatments. Can definitely find something within a budget if you are doing so! I had a facial & a massage - amazing! My masseuse, Mariletta, was lovely & polite, and made sure it was nothing short of relaxing! Thank you to Maria too for making the spa experience simple & easy! Definitely coming back! :)

Amazing lovely hotel . All the staff are so so lovely from reception to guest services and waiters and waitresses . All inclusive option is great value for money . I must give a commendation to Vassia at guest services she was so lovely and helpful . Made us feel right at home . Gave us recommendations and helped organise things . She was a lovely breath of fresh air and wish her all the best . The lovely elderly petite man didn’t catch his name in the canteen ( waiter( was also lovely ! Loads of pool space . Good amount of sunbeds. Classy entertainment . Would highly highly recommend to all

Really lovely resort. Very quiet because of the month I was visiting but staff were really kind and upgraded me because I’m pregnant. Food and drinks were lovely. Would maybe suggest having a mirror in the fitness suite, but that’s it. I’d definitely return except I’ll have a baby next time so won’t be able to.

Very nice stay in stylish settings. Rooms are clean and housekeeping staff are lovely. Could not fault them. Breakfast is nice but could be better. The garden and pool are very well kept. The location is convenient because its close to corfu town but also close to some pretty mice beaches. would reccommend it.
