Pool

Can’t fault the hotel in any way.  We visited here late Aug as a honeymoon getaway, and it was exactly what we were after. In order to provide a full picture, here’s some detail: 

Food: 
The food is very good for an all-inclusive resort. It is a nice, relaxed canteen-esque set up with waiter service for food which you order from the in-house app, whereby you can add dietary requirements. You need to get your drinks from the bar. There are standard dishes like pasta and pizza and aside form the flavours, these don’t really change that much. There is a buffet station where you can add things like bread/rolls and salad. They offer accoutrements such as black/green olive tapenade, pickles, sun-dried tomatoes, and olive oil with different herbs ie Rosemary, sea salt. The desserts change daily and there’s usually 2 options, these are delicious.  You are also offered a free visit to each of the in-house a la carte restaurants, both of which offer a separate menu for dinner which is included (the wine is not included here) and items from the priced menu if you choose to order from it, is 30% reduced). The quality of the food is excellent. Very fresh and lots of flavour. 

You can also order snacks at the pool bar during the day, the menu for which can be found on the app and the choices change daily. Their chips were really nice. 

Drinks: 
The quality of the drinks included is good, better than other all-inclusive resorts I’ve been to, and the choice is excellent. You can purchase premium drinks (cocktails, single malt whiskey, high end gin etc at a reduced cost of -40%).  The choice available for the wine in the ala carte restaurants is very good and I believe there’s a 30% discount across the board (house wine is included in your all-inclusive package). 

Rooms/Cleanliness: 
This is what really gives it a good reputation, it was spotless. Your rooms are cleaned daily and all the areas in the hotel and clean and tidy, including the pool and pool area. The one thing I would point out is toiletries - whilst they do provide them, they are basic, so no conditioner. My hair needs daily conditioning so I had to buy some in town which I could have brought with me – not a complaint, just a good to know item. The beds are pushed together for a double so we requested a topper to make it an actual double (separate beds on a honeymoon wasn’t really ideal). This was done quickly and efficiently. The rooms are a good size but some people don’t like the frosted glass divider for the toilet, although this didn’t bother us. 

Pool Area: 
Sunbeds are always available but we took to going out early to keep our chosen spot but there were empty beds at 11am so you never really have to worry about this. Some of the beds are in the shade if you need a break from the sun. The pool can be busy in the afternoon but never unmanageable. And it’s a wonderful temperature.  The bar is close enough but they don’t do table service. You go to the bar for snacks and drinks. There is a daily DJ who plays really good pool music and creates a really nice vibe, especially in the afternoon. The DJs change from day to day. Towels for the pool are provided but we brought extra for a bit of extra comfort. 

Entertainment: 
This is the only thing that could be improved. They have acts on every night but they’re a little dated/Butlins-ish, enjoyable nonetheless. The vibe in the bar is quite nice and most people are playing games and cards. 

Corfu Town access: 
There is a bus directly outside the hotel and costs €2.50 on the bus and €1.60 if you buy from the ticket office opposite the drop off point (for your return). It runs every half hour, is air-con’d and takes about 20 mins e/w. 

We would definitely look at other Cooks Club resorts as they tick pretty much all the boxes for a relaxing holiday and those they don’t tick, are easily fixed.  We really enjoyed our stay and the staff are friendly and hard-working.

A lovely, relaxing honeymoon

Fantastic deep tissue massage with Marileta in the spa.  Wish I had not waited until the end of my holiday to visit!  Good choice of food in the cantina and the a la carte restaurants in the hotel were superb.  Easy to get a bus from outside of the resort if you fancy a trip to old town.

Okay Positives are the hotel is spotless, the decor is beautiful and the furnishings are comfortable. 
The rooms are fantastic and the beds are very comfortable.
The pool is great, the music beside the pool is the best, there is also a quiet pool if music ain't your thing.
Lots of beds but need to be quick to get good spots like anywhere else.
The food is good and always hot.
The location of the hotel is also very good quite close to Corfu town bus stop a few steps away from the hotel gate.
Okay the bad stuff, no outside eating area at breakfast, no service throughout the hotel as you order everything on your phone thru an app .
Drinks are not all inclusive they have a small selection then charge €6 per drink... if your drink is not on the list.
Cocktails are drinkable but they are really poorly done not mixed well and really sickly as they use lots of syrups.
No Giros at lunch time only in the evening.
If the weather's bad this hotel has nothing to offer, it depends on it's vibes by the pool.
No fitness programs after 9.30am I e yoga or similar.

Lovely hotel with great vibes but really let's itself down with service and drinks. 

We have just spent a week at Cook's Club, and have had a wonderful holiday all in all.

Pros =
The hotel is beautiful. It's very aesthetically pleasing. We had a fabulous room overlooking the scenery and sea (loved the view). We adored the quiet pool, as like to chill and nap during the day. It’s a beautiful pool/area. Loved the Kumquat spritz (first time trying this delicious drink). Both a la carte restaurants are delicious and very pretty of an evening. One of the main perks, was the outstanding 70 minute massage l had by Alexia (hope I have written her name correctly). Absolutely amazing, and what a treat to end a marvellous holiday. They also let us relax by using the sauna and steam beforehand, this was lovely as we had it all to ourselves before our couples massage. I think lunch and dinner works well (ordering via app).
Some of the food has been terrific for all inclusive. We felt the price was fair for an all inclusive and for what we got. I have read mixed reviews regarding sun loungers, but I didn’t have a problem and thought they were nice. 

Cons =
For the most part, the food was great.
However, there were occasions which the food was bland/tasteless and we tasted/found fish in dishes which weren't fish related. The orange juice at breakfast wasn't fresh/made like other places we have been, it tasted quite concentrated/artificial. The all inclusive cocktails are different to what most people are used to. There are no standard popular ones on there, and the mojito that was there they removed apparently. Some of these are very sweet and sickly, there were only one or two we could drink. Thankfully, the spritzes and long drinks make up for this. Any pool days, we spent at the quiet pool, and had to go in the opposite direction on the other side of the hotel to collect and return towels each day. I feel this location point (towel man/hut) could be better, and somewhere somewhat in the middle of both pools - not the complete other side from the quiet pool. Or there could be a station at each pool - this would be a better alternative. Had to wait for the iron at times also.

All in all, we have had a wonderful holiday. We went to Akron Beach bar/club on the beach of Agia Triada, Corfu. Highly recommend, the sea is beautiful for swimming. We visited Etrusco and had a beautiful dinner out, can't recommend it enough. We also enjoyed a meal at Lex in Old town. So worth visiting via bus (taxis are really expensive).

We had read some mixed reviews but are so glad we chose this hotel. It’s everything we wanted, and have had such a relaxing time. It’s a beautiful hotel and really clean. Staff are helpful, and honest with recommendations.

Overall lovely!

Stayed for our honeymoon, Absolutely fantastic hotel, very relaxed, food is great with a good variety on the app provided and the rooms are to die for.
