I will start off by saying the staff at the hotel were amazing very polite and attentive.
Our first impressions when entering the hotel was this does not look like the 5 star hotels that we are used to.
We booked online, and as it was the first holiday for a while due to covid we decided to upgrade to a bungalow instead of staying the main hotel. The photos online looked amazing.
When we were shown to our room, which was in a block of six, definitely not a bungalow ,as we know it. and not what we thought we had paid for, it was a basic room with holes in the curtains very dated in need of an urgent update but with an amazing sea view.
We booked through Tui who advertised that there were a number of specialized restaurants in the hotel, when there is only one, the Contessa. We were given a voucher for the restaurant as the all inclusive is not included in the Contessa.
We chose the meal we wanted from the hotel website but when we got there and handed in the voucher we were given a revised menu and what we had chosen from the website was not on the menu. We ordered something else from the revised menu and when it came, it was stone cold as if it had been taken out of a fridge and put straight on the plate, not good at all. If you had paid for the three course meal it would have cost you over 100 euros definite not good value for money
The swimming pool area is nice however you will need to dose yourself with mossie spray or get bitten to bits.
This may be seasonal we went in October and there were loads about then as well as the wasps who are always in corfu.
There are a couple of small restaurants nearby to give you a break from the food in the buffet restaurant which is the same every day I lost my appetite by the 5th day , I could not go into the buffet restaurant to face the same food every day.
I don’t want this review to stop you going to this hotel, but we will not be returning.More

Good but not amazing
We stayed here for our honeymoon at the start of October.
The hotel is nice with amazing views! The private beach is lovely and very relaxing. Food not amazing, breakfast was probably the worst meal however the pancakes were nice so i ended up having that every day for 7 days. Lunch in the buffet we attended once and didnt return as it was very disappointing. We ended up ordering fresh from the pool bar every day which was really nice and good quality food. Evening buffet was good with a variety of food and some really nice meat available.
Evening entertainment didn't really exist. There was something on for about 4 of our 7 nights. It was mainly somebody playing the piano which was nice and relaxing but we like more than that. We made our way into Corfu for 2 nights just to get away from sitting and staring at the views. We walked to the bus stop which was about a 20 min walk and then got the bus into Corfu and back one night and then the other night paid 25 euros each way. Corfu town is absolutely beautiful and i would definitely return there.
We hired a private boat from the guys down at the beach which was definitely worth the money. We had a great day exploring the island by boat but it was cut a but short due to bad weather (obviously nobody at fault)
Overall i booked a 5 star hotel for our honeymoon expecting to be wowed the whole week and unfortunately that just didn't happen. Nothing wrong with the hotel, its lovely, the views are lovely and the staff are lovely but i just don't think i would say it was 5 star.
I would recommended going if you get a good deal and like to do nothing (I understand a lot of people like to do nothing on their holidays)More

743paigea,
Much needed holiday!
We spent 12 lovely days at the hotel, our room 414 was clean, fresh with amazing views and a spacious balcony. It's not ultra modern and to us that's it's charm with well established gardens and beautiful foliage.
The food was excellent with more than enough choice and I would challenge anyone to say they couldn't find anything they were able to eat!
The service could not be faulted, from the lady cleaning our room daily to anyone we had dealings with thereafter.
Maria, Costa, George,Thea (possible spelling ) to name but a few were amazing, you should be very proud of all you're staff.
Why a 4 and not a 5* star review.....wasps were a problem when eating outside and bites the same. The shuttle bus missing when we could get on a public bus was a shame, but this did not spoil what was a fab holiday!More

Scrap2000,
Fantastic staff, relaxing and welcomed break
After nearly two years without a holiday this break was so needed and really really worth the wait. Corfu is a wonderful island and the people are so nice and down to earth. The Eva palace did not disappoint and the staff were truly courteous and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.
Food was great, drinks were high end and most definitely not ‘local options’ and all inclusive definitely meant all inclusive. Whilst the hotel did not have spa facilities, it’s sister hotel 10 mins walk away offered those and could be easily booked via the attentive hotel staff. The pool area was lovely and had access to the hotels private beach. Although we came near end of season the staff and facilities were as helpful and as hardworking as in high season.
Staff - must mention Maria, Angela, bill, Theo and stabrulla in the lobby bar as they were brilliant and looked after us from day 1. Our room cleaning lady was lovely and cleaned our room every day. Reception and restaurant staff so polite. Thank you grecotel, lovely holiday, nice hotel, nice food and you are very lucky to have the staff that work for you - look after them as they are what makes your hotels really good.More

Great, peaceful holiday
We stayed at Grecotel Eva for 9 nights in September and really enjoyed our holiday.
The customer service is really good, very friendly staff always willing to help (from the reception, housekeeping, gentleman who hands in beach/pool towels to the staff at the buffet restaurant).
Big pool with very comfortable sun loungers.
Beautiful bay and private beach although it is quite shaded and not that many sunny spots. The view is stunning and we couldnt get enough of it.
Check in/check-out very quick and efficient - no complains there.
Room very basic and quite plain - it might be due to Covid restrictions but no extra cushions/throws and nothing on the walls (artwork) so feels quite bland. Only one side table lamp in a room and no vanity station/desk which I found in most 4* hotels. Only one chair (armchair). Lovely view form the balcony but obstructed by the concrete wall (didnt bother us too much as we were out and about most of the days). I'd give it a solid 4*.
Food was good (we were half board) - quite repetitive breakfast but plenty of choice. The quality was a bit of hit and miss with some dishes. We wouldn't say it was a 5* dining experience but it was decent and adequate to what we paid for our stay.
Evening entertainment is pretty much non-existent. There is someone who plays an instrument or a DJ/DJs but if you expect band tributes, acrobats or comedy evening you will be disappointed, Its very quiet and I'd say rather aimed at older audience (we are both early 40s) or those who like peaceful evenings. It was fine for us as I did my research and knew full well what to expect and we did want to have a chilled holiday.
The all day boat rent is great (from our beach) - we did a day trip and had a fantastic time.
All in all - we had an amazing time and made some beautiful memories which we will treasure forever. Corfu is a beautiful island so make sure you rent a car for a couple of days and check other locations.
Myself and my partner both agree that it wasnt a 5* hotel (in our humble opinion), rather solid 4* but we didnt mind as it was a good value for money and I know the *rating varies from country to country.
We wish Grecotel Eva palace all the best and a fantastic 2022 season! :)More
