Hotel Afrodite

Spent a wonderful 11 nights at this family run hotel. We had seen a number of reports praising the staff and the way in which the hotel is run, and it was exactly as advertised. Greeted on arrival and provided with room key, and arranged for the safe, fridge and air-con as add-ons. Worth the little extra. As many have said, a sea view room is recommended, and we were so pleased to have upgraded. The views of the beach and bay in the morning are simply stunning, and being up and about by 7:30 meant you could watch the sunrise from the balcony. Perfect. The room itself (205) was basic, but clean, and provided everything required. There have been recent upgrades to include a hair dryer and TV on the wall (note only Sky News and BBC World in English, but who really cares?) Bathroom includes a bath with shower over, and all worked OK. \had one day when the was no hot water/water pressure, but just put this down to being one of those things; all was OK the days after. Maid service daily and towels changed/beds made, and swept up etc. Very good. Breakfast was fun. "Continental" style with a massive fresh roll, cheese,ham, hard boiled egg, cake, melba toasts and tea/coffee. More than you can eat, and there is an option for a cooked breakfast for a small price. We found the set breakfast more than enough to set yourself up for the day, and it was a chance to talk with the family as they served you. We went on a B&B basis so we could get out and enjoy what Roda had to offer (plenty - see my restaurant reviews) but if you are half board or wish to "eat in", the Yacht Club is excellent, and provides a 10% discount for Afrodite residents. We didn't spend any time by the pool, so can't make comment there, choosing instead to pass time on the beach over the road. Lovely beach, sandy, and kid/non-swimmer friendly given you need to walk out 50/60M before the water's up to your neck! Sunbeds opposite the beach are comfy, and a set of 2 and parasol is just €5 for Afrodite stayers. Should you wish to get out and about, just outside the hotel there is the local bus stop with services to Corfu Town, Kassiopi and Sidari. We didn't go to Corfu as had visited previously, but the cost to Kassiopi was €2.40 and Sidari €1.80. Cheap. (A taxi is around €17) Overall, this was a wonderful place to enjoy a late summer break, and we will surely return in a year or two. I can see why there are so many "returners" So, a massive thank you to everyone at the Afrodite, especially Spiros; you have a lovely hotel, and it was so touching when, on our departure you took the time to seek us out to say one final farewell. Hope to see you all again soon.

Just got back from 2 weeks at the Afroditi. What a lovely, genuinely friendly family run hotel. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed, and nothing was too much trouble. The location couldn't be better right on the seafront with nearby shops and restaurants. From previous reviews people moaned about the breakfast. You get a lovely fresh baked bread roll, boiled egg, cheese, ham, crackerbreads, jam, marmalade, cake, juice and tea or coffee served to you. Guess what, we are not in england, and thus served a continental style breakfast. There is the option to have omelettes or full English if you fancy something else at a small cost. We were half board and ate at our hotel most nights. We had the most delicious greek food. 3 courses and a salad served to your table. There was a couple of options per course. Couldn't fault it. The rooms are kept very clean. I'm quite picky with cleanliness, but there was nothing to fault. If you can upgrade to a seaview room, then it is certainly worth it for the view. Would definitely recommend this lovely hotel, and will return 😊

This was our second visit to the Afrodite and it was just as great as our fist visit. From stepping off the coach to begin our holiday to getting back on to go home it was lovely Welcomed back to the hotel by Panos and Spiro, we felt relaxed as soon as we walked through into the reception. There was an issue with the shower in the bathroom but by the time we had walked back up the stairs to our room, after making Panos aware of the fault, there was someone waiting outside our door with a replacement - now that's customer service. Although we only had lunch at the Afrodite, preferring to try the many excellent restaurants in the resort, the food was always excellent, as was the service and value for money. The only grumble we have, is that we only tried the ' Yacht Club' on our final night, if we had realized how good the cocktails were in there before, we would have been in there every night for 'a last one' ! ! Thank you to the Afrodite, both for the welcome and the ' goodbyes' - we thoroughly enjoyed our second visit. Bev and Colin
