Angsana Corfu

Przyjechaliśmy tutaj po bardzo intensywnym 2-tygodniowym wypoczynku w Singapurze i Malezji. W hotelu Angsana można spokojnie odpocząć. Nasza willa była bardzo wygodna, zawsze czysta, ze świetnym prywatnym basenem z pięknym widokiem na morze. Restauracje w hotelu serwują naprawdę wykwintne i smaczne dania. Korfu to bardzo ładna wyspa. Hotel leży na zboczu mocno zalesionej góry, co powoduje, iż w sierpniu było bardzo dużo os, które niestety przeszkadzały w posiłkach. Czasami trudno było skończyć kolację. Osy nie gryzły, ale było to niestety uciążliwe. Obsługa hotelu odganiała różnymi sposobami osy, choć było to trudne. Okazuje się, iż w tym regionie Korfu w sierpniu jest dużo os.

Start with the hotel, OK very modern hotel and excellent facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was large with more toiletries than I have ever seen. However, size isn't everything. Coffee and tea making facilities are provided but we had to ask, frequently, for milk, there were no actual comfortable chairs in the room, two cube stools and a sofa bench, which was too deep front to back and no back rest. The shower was lethal, marble and impossibly slippery. The very limited English TV kept dropping out so wasn't watchable any way. Obviously no iPlayer, Sky Go etc. Location was good on the one hand with uninterrupted views over the Ionian Sea to mainland Greece but due to the very steep hill I strongly recommend a hire car and we didn’t. If you want to sample the local tavernas it is a €10 taxi ride into town. Same for a return and make sure you arrange a pick up time because there are no taxis in Benitses. You need to ensure that breakfast is included with the room. €35 per person per day otherwise. Their attempt at English cooked breakfast was “interesting”, cold plates, thin cold bacon and cold fried eggs. Baked beans were warm’ish. €35 per person per day for cereal and a bit of fruit! Even the coffee was lukewarm. I won't bore you with the detail regarding expenses but a three course evening meal for 2, with wine, is close to €180. If you have lunch in the hotel and a couple of G & T's before dinner you can add another €100 to that. Evening meal, apart from being expensive we didn’t think it was actually that good. The menu was the same all week. Taxi from the airport is €35, taxi back, arranged via reception is €50! Taxi into Corfu town is €40, each way.

I took my partner to the hotel for a week before easter to enjoy her Big Birthday. The team make the hotel a very special place. The hitel itself is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for the team and I think the team are a masterclass in true hospitality, from reception, the F&B team through to housekeeping, the spa and gym. Just outstanding. The spa is excellent and the professionally equipped gym was superb for fitness fans. The food was excellent too, the wonderful pianist at breakfast was a highlight too. Highly recommended.
