Saint George Palace Hotel

Nice enough hotel, pleasant staff in the restaurant; very polite and attentive. We were lucky enough to have a ground floor room, and was close to the restaurant and reception. Smell of sewage is quite off-putting, but we dealt with it! Main thing I would like to point out is, when we asked where to hire a speedboat for the day, we were recommended Ninos boat hire. Worst thing about our whole holiday!! We were picked up in an absolute 'death-trap '. I've never heard a vehicle make such scary noises in my life. When we got there, we were given brief details of our boat ( no safety instructions, and not shown if or where a life jacket might be?) and off we went, totally oblivious to the fact, that we were basically being scammed for more fuel! The boat didn't have a working fuel gage, and when we broke down because of this, they sent out one of their lads to ' re-fuel ' us. We told him we were completely lost, and he promtly drove of and left us to it. Nice! When we finally managed to get back to Ninos, the chap was very aggressive, and we got charged another €130 or so for fuel. Can not even describe how p#*@ed off we were!! Needless to say, this has put us off ever going back to Corfu ( we had a hellish experience last time too) All in all though, nice enough, but would never go back. Ps , reception staff only seem to want to be nice to you when you're leaving, maybe for a good review?! Also it's a bloody long '5 minute walk to the beach!' Happy holidays!

We arrived very late in the night and was told at the reception the hotel had overbooked and we would have to stay in their neighbouring hotel for the night. I agreed to this as long as it was the same quality of the room I previously booked. It wasn't, and there was a lot of mosquitos and spiders in the room. I immediately said I wanted somewhere else to stay, as this was unacceptable. At first I was told this was not possible as there was nothing else, and that there was a mosquito problem everywhere. After still refusing to stay there, the reception staff member went to speak to someone and then agreed to move us somewhere else. After plodding up and down lots of stairs with a heavy suitcase and hand luggage we arrived at the room which smelt of sewage. We agreed to stay here for the night as it was late and seemed like there wasn't any other options anyway. In the morning we were pestered by the cleaners to leave the room as they had someone else arriving. We left the room and was directed to our new room. The room was basic and also had the same sewage smell, mostly coming from the toilet area. Food and drinks were average, and staff were overall nice. Would definitely not stay here again however.

We stayed for a week in July after having our original hotel double book us, we were offered a stay at Saint George Palace! On arrival we were greeted very warmly by Donny at reception who gave us an arrival drink and also sandwich - nice touch! Our room was lovely - it was basic but had everything we needed and was cleaned everyday - we were lucky to get the top floor corner room so had an undisturbed view of the beach (lovely - and just a 5 minute walk away!) The hotel was very friendly and cleaners were always around. The bartender Nikos is an absolute credit to the hotel and made our stay everyday - he was always friendly and helpful! Pool area is nice and you can always get a sunbed with options for sun and shade and there is table tennis and pool also available. As the hotel is up a slight hill too and the pool within the ''garden'' area - it is nice and private, you cant see in unless your a hotel resident. The entertainment is good and the area has a nice cocktail bar locally (Butterfly) if you do want more drinks than what the hotel can offer and Donny's family restaurant (Noemie) literally a 2 minute walk away is also work a visit too - traditional Greek with Greek dancing and plate smashing. The hotel food was always fresh - there could maybe have been a wider variety some days and we missed the BBQ days but always enjoyed lunch more than the dinner, though overall was fine. They also come around with fruit during the day by the pool which is nice. We will likely return - thank you Donny and Nikos! Jake and Lauren.

We came to stay at the start of July and we had a lovely time. The waiters were friendly as well as the bar staff. Flavjo especially was so friendly and professional and we looked forward to seeing him in the evenings!! The entertainment and atmosphere were great as were the other members of staff including Ellison. The food was pretty good and the pool next to our room was lovely (rectangular one) although there was a bit of a lack of sun loungers, a lot of people seemed save them and didn’t come back for hours on end!! This was not the end of the world though as the beach is a 10 minute walk away which is great and has lots of food options and boat hires etc. I would highly recommend this hotel to families and couples.
