Palm Beach Hotel

Dont expect much nightlife thee are a couple of good pubs that do quizzes and many that show current films that have been copied onto dvd. Lots of big screens for football or any sport.

The resort town is fairly chilled and relaxed, but this is not to say that bar entertainment in the evenings cannot get on the rwody side!! 

 

There are two separate pools, and most of the families with children do tend to congregate at the one pool with activities for children.  There is no lifeguard, but poolside bar staff will repsond to any kind of situation in which you may require assistance.  If children are kept supervised then they should be perfectly fine.

 

The rooms are excellent, and kept beautifully clean every day by the friendly chamber maids, each with its own balcony which consists of  a table and two chairs.  The food in the hotel is normally very good, with variety for everyone...although I would say that if you live on McDonalds or fast food, forget booking here.  The later dinner sitting (for families with children of 14+) does have a peak time of between 7 and 8 (roughly), so you work out when to time your arrival.  Sometimes you do have to que for food, but in the two years that we have gone there we have never had to wait for a particularly long lngth of time.  The meal arrangements are excellent because they allow you to eat what you wish for whichever course, and the waiting staff are friendly and prompt.  If you use your common sense and see when the busy period is (which you will do on your first day!), you can easily avoid any waiting and hang out at the pool for another hour instead!

 

Evening entertainment at the hotel is of an average standard...we have seen a stand-up comedian each year, and I believe that in the early hours of every evening there is entertainment for children, after which the adult entertainment will begin.  However, most people tend to go into the town.

 

Each tour operator will run their own day-trips, but you can take the local bus into Corfu Town (a good idea, but you have to go during the day rather than in the evening), and there are boat trips leaving from the beach every day that you can book yourself on.

 

The hotel is new, and is now in it's 4th season, so this does explain the seemingly lack of developed grounds, but it is still an incredibly beautiful environment, with some very pretty views.  A holiday resort that I would fully reccommend!
