Hotel berhampiran Kaiser＇s Throne, Parelia

The hotel is situated very close the the sea front just off the main road through Benitses. We found it was a really nice place to stay, our room was on the first floor and were lucky enough to get a corner apartment which had a balcony that went round both sides. The room was spotless and cleaned daily, breakfast was good with a nice variation of food, with everyone who worked there very helpful. There are plenty of bars/restaurants along the main road and into the village square.

Lovely place with very nice and helpful staff in the reception. There is small pool with the bar. The hotel has the beautiful and outstanding sea view from terrace, where food is served. I chose bungalow in the garden and I really liked the green surroundings with lots of flowers and beautiful view on sea and coast. Excellent breakfast in a form of Swedish buffet, fresh products and variety of dishes, vegetables and fruits. Everyone can find something for themselves. The hotel is located next to sea and it has wooden platform by which you can reach the water. I recommend excellent small family restaurant nearby, and lovely cafe (Montecafe). Very reasonable price for all the facilities it offers!!! The neighbor Perama hotel offered similar price and the breakfast was just awful.

This was my first time visiting Greece and I had a fantastic first experience at Grecotel Eva Palace. I'll start my review with the positives and then include points that are important for those travelling to the hotel and areas where I feel there could be some improvement. Firstly, I really enjoyed the breakfast. I felt there was a good variety and I always enjoy a hotel breakfast where you can get fresh eggs/pancakes and this was something we had. I didn't book all inclusive/half board and had I stayed longer than 3 nights it would be something I would have regretted (more on this later). The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable (pillows could be a little firmer). The hotel was fairly busy when we booked but every time I went to the pool there were loungers available for us (however people do tend to reserve theirs with a towel). I liked the beach tote and beach towels in the room. There was complimentary sparkling wine (I don't drink so I can't say if this was good) and baklava in the room on check in. The pool was large and I really liked the private beach area also. As a general rule the hotel was very beautiful and clean. There is also the added positive of a complimentary shuttle into corfu town (requires booking in advance - taxi's are quite expensive) If you plan on staying here this hotel is fairly remote so dinner options in the area is limited so I would recommend half board/all inclusive. The roads aren't the safest and I did walk to a nearby hotel on the first night and chose to eat at the sister restaurant on the 2nd night. I did feel that I didn't want to explore the area due to how steep and narrow the roads are and how it isn't pedestrianised in the area. The hotel isn't suitable for people with mobility issues/poor mobility as you have to go down some fairly steep steps to reach the pool and a steep road to the private beach (even though it is close). Areas to improve: We arrived an hour before check in and was told our room wasn't available for early check-in but they would try to get us in the room as early as they could. Whilst waiting we were offered some complimentary lemonade and some water. We ended up getting the room 45 minutes after check-in and there was no communication regarding the delay. We would have been more than happy if we had been offered somewhere to change after the flight so we could use the pool whilst waiting for our room. Whilst breakfast was enjoyable some of the ”hot” food in the buffet was actually cold. Lastly, the pool was very cold so to some this can be refreshing but to others you wouldn't really want to use the pool as you couldn't stay in there for long. Alongside the shuttle there is also a water taxi but the timing for this is very limited - can only leave at 9:30 am and return at 2:30am.
