Hotel Louis Corcyra Beach

Having visited other Louis Hotels in Cyprus, and read good reviews, we booked this hotel for a family holiday with my daughter, husband and 2 young grandsons. Upon arrival, we were advised that we had been upgraded to 2 x bungalows - the view over the bay was lovely, but the bungalows we felt - were fairly basic, and a bit tired - no where near the standard experienced at other Louis Hotels. We were all on an AI basis, and found the meals to be of good standard, however, again the restaurant was all a bit tired looking - the outside restaurant has spectacular views over the bay - but was a definate 'no go' due to swarming wasps, our grandson was terrified. there were a couple of pool areas - with outside bars and eating areas - but again there were wasps everywhere. The soft drinks were on tap - as soon as you started to pour there were wasps floating about in your glass. The Playpark was very poor - and with a mix match of outdoor toys that had seen better days. We did pop into the kids club room one morning, and the girls - were trying their best, by painting cartoon characters on the walls to brighten this room - again, the toys etc had seen better days - we didnt want to use the kids club, so it didnt matter to us. On the Wednesday, there were notices advising the Hotel staff were on strike - it transpires the hotel has been sold - which might explain why there has been no obvious investment in the hotel of late. To be honest the staff who were working did their best on this day - but apart from notices in certain areas there was no further apology etc for the reduced service. I am sad to say we wouldnt return to this hotel - which is a first for us.

We had a lovely weeks holiday at this hotel. We were all inclusive and enjoyed the cocktails and food although it did get a little repetitive and the meat quality could have been better. The steak was slightly tough. The entertainment around the pool was fun. Views from balcony in main hotel were wonderful. Food at Japanese wasn’t great. Overall a lovely place to stay. Would recommend the boat trip to Corfu town on the evening.

When we arrived at the hotel, we thought we had made a big mistake despite the good reviews on here as the first thing you see is a rundown football court & a slightly uninspiring drive way - this is after driving through Gouvia village which is rather rundown & in need of some tlc. I have to say though that we were really pleasantly surprised with the hotel overall. The staff are all friendly & helpful & the food is very good (the only thing we would have liked is to have seen a few more Greek dishes perhaps) Having a large bottle of water in the room each day is a very thoughtful touch. There were a couple of issues while we there but they were dealt with professionally & it was great to see that the managers support the staff & aren't afraid to do things themselves when needed. The only reason I haven't given this 5 stars is because of silly little things like the showers over baths & sun beds perhaps need to be replaced but if you let something like that put you off then you would be missing out. Go & stay!
