Grecotel LUXME Daphnila Bay

The facilities were really good, & the service excellent. More of a place for families and children than for two mates in their 40's.

We were at this hotel for the first time with a family of 6 people. And the rest was great, one of the best hotels in recent times, especially the service and staff here. A large well-groomed area, well-thought-out interesting leisure activities for every day: organized sports, tennis courts, a volleyball court, jazz and dance evenings and more. You can spend all the days in the hotel and you won't be bored - this is a huge plus when you want to be alone and not think about how to diversify your vacation. It is worth noting the staff's friendliness towards children and the well-organized entertaining program for them throughout the day. We were surprised by the wide variety of food available at each meal. Everything was delicious, thanks to the chefs! I would like to express my gratitude to Alexandra Bezhani, the Guests Services Manager. From the very first day of our stay, she was always available to us, kindly answering any questions we had and providing us with information about the best places to visit in Corfu. She also helped us plan our trips, making our vacation easier and more enjoyable. Thank you so much to Alexandra, who stayed in touch with us even after her work hours! I would also like to thank Andreas Tsourapas, Service Manager. When he found out that some of our family members couldn't eat dairy ice cream, he personally made sure that there was mango sorbet even on the beach (which was very nice, especially since everyone was eating ice cream in the hot weather). Andreas Tsourapas was always very open and willing to help. Thank you so much to the staff for making our stay so wonderful!

We stayed at this hotel as a family of 6, and our experience was truly wonderful. The hotel itself is very nice. Rooms are clean and comfortable, room service is excellent, the beach is well maintained, and there are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The food was also very good, with a wide variety to choose from every day. But what made our stay truly exceptional was the incredible hospitality of Alexandra Bezhani, the Guest Services Manager. She went above and beyond for us throughout our time there. She was always available to answer our questions, assist with bookings and activities in Corfu, and ensure that every detail of our stay was perfect. She practically became our personal manager, even staying in touch with us 24/7 and helping us during her days off. Her dedication, warmth, and professionalism made a huge difference, and we are very grateful for everything she did. Overall, this was an amazing experience and we would gladly return. The hotel is great, but it’s the people like Alexandra who make it truly special. Highly recommend!

We just spend our third (!) summer at this very lovely hotel. The staff is very attentive, there are plenty of restaurants, both a la carte and buffet, even at the beach. If you like to play tennis, several courts are available and you can ask for a coach. You can even play after dark because of the floodlights. If your like watersports, there is a private pontoon with all the amenities. And there is also another pantoon for motorboats aswell. They also have a boat touring all day between the three Grecotels on the peninsula. Another boat can bring you to the old town. Kids are welcome at the kids club that has plenty of activities. Our special thanks goes to Afroditi and Alexandra, our hostess who was always available to make our stay as good as it gets.

Having stayed at a Grecotel in Kos last year and loved the service and vibe, we booked Daphnila bay for summer 2025. What attracts us is that it doesn’t feel like all-inclusive hotel catering for the masses, it feels boutique with luxury elements. The range of the all inclusive drinks is excellent, a great range of local and international beers, decent Greek wines, well made cocktails and an excellent range of spirits. The service from all the hotel staff is amazing, including the waiter service around the pool and the reception staff. The pool area is small for the hotel size and when we went, it was mainly families with young children round it, so could get a bit noisy. One end of the pool is deep (2m 30 cm) so great for jumping in and diving. We liked that there was no reservations of sun beds at the pool and staff were removing towels unattended for too long. We had no trouble getting sun beds around the pool and didn’t have to get up too early (8 - 8.15am). The beach itself is narrow and pebbly but there is a large grass area behind it with a lot of shades from the palm and olive trees and lots of sun beds and we never had an issue getting 4 beds anytime of day. The sea was lovely and warmer than the pool! This area is served by the beach bar and restaurant. Queues at the bar could be a little longer as there were often a lot of cocktail orders which take time to make. Our children loved the crepes and ice creams by the beach. The wine tasting was very informative and led us to trying different wines in the restaurants rather than the usual house red/ white. Book the restaurants on the app before you arrive or when you check in. The standard of food is good at the buffet and a la carts restaurants. Personal restaurant favourites were the Asian and the hot stones restaurants, and the location of the traditional Greek restaurant was lovely as it overlooked the beach. The hotel is on a steep hill, there is a shuttle car and golf carts to ferry people up and down. We used the shuttle bus to corfu town which was efficient, but we would have liked a little longer in the town as it dropped off around 10.30 and picked up at 2pm. Don’t think it’s anything to do with the hotel but there’s a water sports centre at the end of the beach, which was convenient and we booked a few water activities through. The indoor gym was good and excellent quality of tennis courts, and there was also an outside gym. We are looking to book another Grecotel holiday next year.
