Restia Suites

We had a lovely time at Restia Suites, this is a first class resort and we will certainly be returning next year! Our room was very large and well presented, with a terrace leading into the garden and pool area. Food was excellent and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, but one of the main strengths is the wonderful team of staff who looked after us. Looking forward to next time!

Overall quite nice place but wouldn’t say exactly a 5 star experience. We stayed in the top of the range suite which included its own private pool which felt a bit dated and would benefit from some attention.(especially the shower which included rotten wood framing) unless this was meant to be a feature! And the toilet flush that’s gets stuck. Not sure on the cleanliness of the private pool so only used once (probably better early season) tv and internet poor! (But you could borrow a ten year old dvd if you fancy from reception)Manager(viv?) and owner (and managers family!) very nice polish waitress oh and the lady in evening reception. that’s it unless you like being served by a smarmy greek or The restaurant manager who makes you feel very unwelcome and that your not actually in Corfu! Very quiet (apart from the thunder) one night but that’s not there fault! Food ok!

We Have Just returned from a week in the Restia suites and cannot recommend it highly enough, the hotel itself, from reception to rooms to pool and bar area are beautifully decorated and situated and the views are amazing. The hotel has such a welcoming feel due to the team who work there. As it is a smaller hotel the service is much more personal and so friendly, Zafiris the owner is there To welcome you and around at breakfast and dinner, super friendly and genuinely interested in all guests, feels like he genuinely wants everyone to have a great time. Vivianne is so helpful on reception and has time for every guest and welcomes you with a cold drink and refreshing towel. The whole team in the bar/restaurant are friendly and engaging, they are testament to the great service expected, they chat to everyone and you get to know them all by name. Wendy is there to welcome guest at breakfast and dinner and explain how everything works and always offers a pre dinner drink whilst waiting on a table as guests are sat at 10 min intervals, she is there late in the evening and again early in the morning and is unfalteringly cheerful and welcoming. Food is some of the best we have ever had in a hotel with an excellent choice and the drinks menu is extensive a reasonably priced. The Greek gastronomic evening was a definite highlight. We stayed in a deluxe suite which was spacious and beautifully decorated, had a lovely garden view, would definitely consider booking a sea view room next time as the hotel is right on the beachfront. In terms of the area the town of acharavi can be reached on foot either by the road or along the beach in under 30 mins, although the beach is quite rough underfoot with a lot of stones in some places. Taxi into town is approx 6 euros and there is a bus stop 5 mins from the hotel where you can travel to roda and Sidari in one direction or kassiopi in the other. Weather was excellent for 6 of our 7 days (end of sept) at around 27 degrees although this was apparently unusually warm for that time of year with rain and thunder on the final day only. Absolutely loved this hotel and definitely plan to return in the future. Nicola.
