Govino Bay Corfu Villas & Apartments — Hotel in Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands

I’m quite a nervous traveller and always read the reviews before I go anywhere. |I wanted to write a review for anyone similar to me. ||We have just finished our stay here, but right from the beginning we were greeted with a warm welcome. We were shown our apartment, where the safe was and how everything worked by a lovely member of staff. We had been left a bottle of water in the fridge for our arrival as the shops are a short walk down the road. ||The apartments were clean and spacious. They could do with an update; however, for a base to sleep and get ready it was perfect! I found the beds to be comfortable. They had extra blankets and pillows and as the rooms downstairs could get hot we asked reception for fans which were promptly delivered to us. You have a basic kitchen area - fridge, freezer, oven, hob and sink. Air conditioning in the main part of the apartment and a TV where we put on ‘Kosmos’ radio of an evening which played well known songs. They have wifi, but I didn’t always find this to be the best, so if you are wanting to use your phone/ tablets etc… I would check what your data roaming allowance is first. ||The apartments are cleaned every other day with fresh towels and sheets! ||We spent most days by the pool area. They have a pool bar that serves a variety of drinks and food. It is open until 11 at night and the food is delicious and comes in great portions! |In the evenings we would walk 10-15 minutes down the road towards the bay where we found a variety of restaurants to eat. Everyone is friendly and accommodating and we were often given something on the house alongside the bill. ||There is a few supermarkets close by, but as we only bought snacks for breakfast and lunch found the local markets that were just down the road to be enough. ||We had a couple of trips out. Aqualand is a brilliant day out and has something for everyone. The bus stop is just outside the apartments and you can by an all day pass for €5 each. You can pay by card on the buses. ||I read some reviews about the dogs barking, so packed some ear plugs just incase! I think I heard them maybe twice whilst down the by the pool; however, where our apartment was we couldn’t hear them at all. ||All in all we had a marvellous time and if the opportunity presented itself, we...

First Positives: the gardenarea with the gras and trees and flowers are beutiful and clean as well as the relaxing area by the sea staff, esp the security and poolarea staff are very friendly i like that you could relax outside, no laud music like in other poolplaces a lot of parking places from the hotel you can easily see the whole island with a rented car

Big negative:

Our house was the big big disappointment. Furniture old, not cleaned. The kitchen was pretty new but nothing was ever cleaned. Oven and microwave discusting as well as many other things. The sleeping rooms were in the cellar, which you could find great because its colder.. no it wasn't. It was kind of wet in the air, i think its because the humitidy from the bathroom had no place to leave. The air was kind of mouldy down there. The air condition was broke many times during our stay. (But: when we called the reception they always sent someone as fast as they could, except last sunday, nobody comes there 😅) And another annoying thing was that the cleaners always took our towels and never brought back new ones. That happend nearly every single day.. so we had to call reception and the nice security officer had to bring us towels. The cleaning in general was aweful.

Because of the nice Staff and the garden/relaxing area we give 3 Stars. The Sleeping place was 1 Star. This hotel has so much potential, i hope they invest some money in the houses/rooms. Thats what i heard too when i talked to...
