Corfu Aquamarine Hotel

Booked the hotel through lastminute.com. Rated 5 stars on their site but is actually a UK 2 stars at most. Very basic accommodation. Cleanliness of room was no more than adequate as had some cobwebs on walls and corners with tiny insects in the webs and in the shower. Warm water only from shower, and cold water only on Friday evening at 9.30pm. Mattresses on beds were lovely with memory foam tops but not one sheet fitted the bed. Too short and too narrow. One room key only for two people. Hairdryer didn't work. The lamp shades on the bedside lights were dirty and stained. The room had a sink and hotplate for self catering but no pots, dishes or cutlery at all. Cups on hospitality tray were never washed except by us. Bathroom floor was soaked every time you showered. On the positive side, the staff were lovely and the young man at reception couldn't do enough for you. The pool area was lovely. I'm not a swimmer but the pool didn't have a deep end. One meter at shallowness and 1.3m at deepest. I'm foot 2 inches and it came up to my chin only. Good number of sunbeds but not enough umbrellas. Cleaner Sanya was fantastic. Very steep incline to get up to hotel and a lot of steps around it. Bus stop right outside but very busy road and quite scary to cross. Not many places to eat and limited food choices. We had to go to other nearby resorts but bus back was 9pm latest. Not much in Nissaki itself so you need to go elsewhere. The beach is tiny! It was ok for 5 days but I wouldn't go back to the town or the hotel. Don't often leave reviews but I felt it necessary to give some detail so you know what you're getting.

What a bad start to our holiday, our garden view room looked at a wall, so we asked to be moved, room 2 had a great view of the sea , great !!! But next morning the next room had a shower and part of our room was covered in water, we told the receptionist, but later that day the same happened! So back to reception, this time a little more forceful! Eventually the day manager and maintenance man turned up and just about called us liars , I was starting to get a little hot under the collar (not like me) and pointed out my wife who was in her seventies could easily slip on the wet tiles and if she was hurt we would sue, that hit the right spot and we where offered a third room. So we moved ourselves again! This room was better but the hairdryer and safe didn’t work and the shower wasn’t good. But we didn’t want the hassle, so stayed put! When we arrived we where given a map and key , the staff didn’t offer to help with our cases even when we had a steep slope and 4 flights of stairs! The same comments came from other guests! It seems the older you are the more you have to deal with all the stairs and no help with baggage no matter how old you are. The food was never labelled always cold , sometimes the replenishment was lacking, so you where waiting for food, Wine was often warm and the one dessert was often still frozen! Most of the staff were totally indifferent to you need’s etc. We ended up eating out at least once a day! The best member of staff was the bartender always happy. All inclusive drinks ended at 10 ! Which surprised most of the youngsters! All and all a memorable hotel but not for the right reasons! I know it’s nearly the end of the season, but they need to make the effort to the end!
