Iolida Corfu Resort and Spa

I have just recently yesterday from this hotel after staying for 10nights with my husband and 16year old daughter. We had a lovely time and felt totally relaxed from the moment we arrived. We felt there was a very chilled and relaxed vibe at this hotel for the whole holiday. Staff are friendly. Hotel is spotless pool cleaned thoroughly too every day. Food is lovely with a great selection and also a good choice available at the snack bar. Good selection of cocktails on the all inclusive menu. There is another block with another pool and a small block at back of hotel with some rooms. One beauty is there no sunbed wars. Our roomed looked out on to the pool and the first morning we got up and was pleasantly surprised there was plenty of sunbeds available . So no need to rush down early. On a bus route number 7 can get it right outside hotel into gouvia and Corfu or get it in other direction to ipsos. You can get bus tickets from the hotel shop. Would definitely stay here again. The only shall minor point is the steps going down from the bar to the pool area are very step

We just stayed in Iolida for the week and we were sure that people with negative reviews weren’t staying at this hotel!

The rooms were spotless, the staff were welcoming, the variety of food was impressive and the aircon was great. The pool was also lovely and warm and it was always easy to get a sunbed, no sunbed wars at all.

Another mention was the snack bar, the lovely lady who ran it works really hard and there was different foods everyday.

There is also an onsite shop for necessities , snacks , etc and the lady who worked in there made our time- she was lovely!

The only downsides to the hotel is that my partner and I became sick during the week and we aren’t sure whether this was due to the hotel food or being in a different country.

There was occasionally an eggy smell around the hotel but the reviews make it sound awful and unbearable- it was not.

There were many many mosquitoes and wasps around bodies of water or places where you eat food.

As for the entertainment, there was not huge amounts of this throughout the day and the evenings. If you’re looking for this to be a big deal during your holidays, Iolida may not be for you.

There is not much about outside of the hotel without taking a 30 minute bus journey to Corfu town or Ipsos. There are a few restaurants but nothing mad, it’s very quiet. The bus stop is conveniently right outside of the hotel.

We would stay here again :)

Arrived for three nights after a seven-day cruise on Marella Voyager and although there was a number of guests checking in it was handled very quickly and efficiently by a very friendly and helpful receptionist. We were allocated a room on the 4th floor and with the lift only going to the 3rd floor we were asked to stay for a few minutes until a member of staff was available to carry our cases from the 3rd to the 4th floor. The room was spotless and was kept that way for the whole of our stay. The view from our balcony was superb with a sea view forward and a view of the countryside to the side. The AC was excellent and kept the room at a very comfortable temperature, two bottles of water supplied daily and tea & coffee making facilities available, A fridge was in the room and was one of the better I have come across and kept drinks cold. There was a flat screen television on the wall but the selection of English-speaking channels was very limited. The pool was kept in a pristine condition and there were more than enough sun beds available. A snack bar had a tasty selection of food during the day. One of the main talking points amongst all guests we came in contact with was the number of stairs especially to access the pool, there were hand rails but I might suggest that the hotel is not suitable for those with any mobility problems. The meals in the restaurant unfortunately did not come up to a appetising standard of the hotel and while the cold salads were generally good this was not matched by the hot selection, this led to a number of guests even those like us there for the three-nights walking down the rather steep incline to the few restaurants nearby for an evening meal. The bar service was excellent but entertainment was limited during our short stay with two singers on for one night. Excellent hotel but the steep stairs and the poor quality of restaurant food will prevent us from using this hotel again.
