Elea Beach Hotel

Das Personal ist freundlich, kinder- und tierlieb sowie zuvorkommend, die Zimmer sauber und das Essen vielfältig. Animateur Alibaba hat insbesondere mit seiner MiniDisco das Herz meines Sohnes "Alibaby" erobert. Das Wasser ist klar und ruhig.

Fünftes Jahr hintereinander im Elea Beach, mittlerweile mit Freunden.Treffen uns mit drei Paaren. September 2023 mit Animateur Ali Baba... Aquagym entweder Lady Gaga, Batman Superman... Er reißt die Leute mit. Ist jeden Tag auf das neue toll hier...

I found the hotel a disapointement all in all, it is not a 4 star hotel but about 2. More a small family business than a proper hotel. Balcony in the sea view room was nice and big, airport transfer was well organised. Otherwise a poor experience. It is impossible to relax there, animation is very loud till 11 pm, in the morning 8 am they cut the grass loudly or every morning cleaners are disturbing 8 am already in front of your door. Doors are from paper, zero isolation you hear the neighbours. There is no warm water in the night like 2 am or at 5 am in the morning, internet access was poor they were fixing it loudly at 1 am in the corridor! You can’t relax there. Rooms are tired and old needs maintenance. Bathroom smells strong sewage, tiles broken. They have no double beds, only 2 separate ones far from each other, if you complain they put a soft old used matrasse on top which is not comfy at all. You cannot write consumption to the room but you always need to have cash on you. You have to pay extra for safe and beach towels, of course in cash! I didn’t receive an invoice by paying just a card payment confirmation what I have never seen before in a 4 star property. Overpriced for what it offers! Looks different on the pictures than in reality.

We have just returned from our 10 day trip to Corfu. Elea Beach Hotel was great and we really enjoyed our time staying there. The staff were all so accommodating and welcoming, the hotel was clean and the location was brilliant with the beautiful beach on its doorstep. The water was warm, clear and calm, great for activities. It is a pebbled beach so bring suitable shoes. They have sun beds on the beach, but be quick as early risers tend to leave towels on early. They have 2 large pools, 1 sea water and 1 chlorine. We went half board as we were mostly out during the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast options, but for us the Dinner options were average. Drinks were very pricey too at an average of €5 a pint of beer, €9 a cocktail and €3 a soft drink. Something to consider if not going all inclusive. I would reccomend paying a little bit extra for sea room view as the view is amazing. It was my birthday whilst there, and the hotel decorated my hotel room on the day with banners and balloons and also a complimentary bottle of wine, which I thought was a lovely touch. We would highly reccomend getting the number 7 bus into Corfu town. It takes roughly 25 minutes but only costs €1.80. For excursions, we used Helga travel which is located 3 minutes walk down the road from the hotel. They were reasonably priced and would 100% reccomend the Paxos Island Boat trip and Aqua Land. The Journey to Paxos Island was 3 hours on the boat - something to consider if you have children. But definitely worth it to see the beautiful waters. Ali Baba the animator was simply amazing. He is such a hard worker and made everyone’s stay enjoyable. He ran everything from aqua gym (in the sea!) dressed as iron man in the morning to children’s disco and bingo at night. There was never a dull day when Ali Baba was around. Credit to this man, he is fantastic 👏🏻 We will be returning 😁

This is our 30th visit to Corfu and our 12th return to Elea Beach. Sorry to learn of the passing of the amazing hotel owner of extended years. I do hope the family retains the unique way the hotel has been run over the years and not following other nearby chain hotels? When you return and see the majority of the same staff are here year after year tells you something very good is happening. The hotel is always full whatever months you visit. Georgia on reception does a great job with obviously many selfish difficult guests but she copes admirably. Alex the do anything and everything guy is a wonderful example of the hotel standards. The small shop run by Kate and her husband has lots to buy and they even arranged newspaper daily for me plus kindly getting some linctus from a pharmacy which was a bit too far to walk. Very kind people. The food is adequate but plentiful and the staff especially the manager who is always there are really good. Effy for years sorts out food to fit in with my strict dietary requirements and is exceptional plus the welcome on the door from Maria. I would like to see more cooking on the grill particularly fish which does seem to be in short availability? The hotel position is unique and safe. Rooms are excellent and beds seem to be changed every other day which we don’t do at home. I must mention the lady therapist Ella who has been exceptionally kind this year. I finish on value and cost. We also go to Spain every year and in May a similar hotel there was exactly double that of Elea Beach!
