Delfinia Hotel

Having been to Dassia on two previous very enjoyable holidays we thought a beach south of Corfu town would be a new experience this year. The TUI flight from Cardiff was very good and timings suited us. We chose the Delfinia mainly for the extensive gardens with trees to offer shade and ease sunbed issues. How wrong we were.The hotel is a large complex of 4 buildings and is clean and well maintained. End of Good Points. The dining room, Bar and Tavern are in separate buildings. There is Zero atmosphere. No music, no laughter no attempt at a warm welcome. Reception similar to a Health Centre book in. The staff all speak German. No info pack. Just keys to the room. Superior Room was ok nothing special but sea view was as requested. Even when asked info on Taxi, Boat Trips other Hotels it was Not provided. The Tavern is open for lunch at a hefty cost with a limited menu and surly staff. The food at breakfast was ok, fresh fried eggs every day. No tea or coffee machines, juice was cordial. Premises and cutlery similar to a works canteen. Dinner was in two sittings 6 or 8 pm.. the food buffet was repetitive and bland.. no moussaka ,fresh fish or souvlaki in 7 days.? In Greece.? The large bar is deserted at night, due to high prices for both hot and cold drinks.The staff are miserable and demotivated seem in fear of the management? Very Strange. The weather was excellent all week, so the pool and sea bathing saved our holiday. The pool was closed at 6pm by the sunbed man who also then toured the grounds and started to stack any vacant sunbeds away around us?Weird. Will not return.

This is a nice hotel with well looked after gardens and is right on the beach and within walking distance of a number of bars and restaurants . This makes the location good especially if you want to be right on the beach. However the beach is probably no wider than 20ft but is long enough to have maybe 20 or 30 umbrellas and sun beds. To get a sunbed was a case of getting up early with your towels and claiming your spot. Clearly not enough sun beds but plenty of space for them. It’s also very clean from what I saw of the public areas. The staff weren’t over friendly and sometimes managed a smile when you spoke to them in passing. Having said that the reception staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was ok but the food was pretty much the same every night and was a little bland. The salad choices were very good and were fresh and plentiful. The dessert choices were ok but mostly all tasted the same. The bar area wasn’t particularly exciting and quite frankly didn’t really have any atmosphere which was a shame I think the cost of the drinks didn’t help and in my opinion should have been cheaper esp for hotel guests. The room wasn’t that big and storage for clothes very poor. No tea coffee making facilities?? Yet you did get a telephone next to the toilet as well as one next to the bed which was very odd!! ?? There’s a safe in the room but there’s a €20 charge which is in my opinion disgusting especially as when you check in you sign a waver basically saying if anything goes missing the hotel aren’t responsible!! If you hire a car there’s plenty of free parking at the hotel. You also have to pay for beach towels!?

Stayed at Delfinia for the first time last week and it was lovely. Friendly staff, good breakfast, cozy and modern room, pool facilities are perfect, and the beach is only a stones throw away from the pool, both with plenty of sunbeds. The surrounding area is easy to walk to and find with plenty of restaurants to chose from and a few lively bars too.

Just spent a week in Delfinia. Hotel's setting is lovely - right on the blue flag beach with nice well kept gardens and decent size pool. Staff is very friendly. The main areas of the hotel are very clean, however, room cleanliness is very inconsistent- floors are swept, but never mopped, towels removed and not replaced, cleaning cloths left in the room.... Food is decent, but quite repetitive. If you are looking for burgers and chips, pizza or chicken nuggets then this hotel is not for you. There is no water available with evening meal. Drinks prices are extremely high. The same applies to the drinks in the beach bar hence it is always empty as there are plenty nice bars and restaurants short walk away along the beach. There is also a supermarket opposite the hotel's entrance.

This was our 7th stay at this hotel. Fabulous hotel directly on the beach. Well worth their Blue Flag status , renewed for another year. The gardens are kept in immaculate condition . We stayed in a Superior room with garden view which was lovely. The WiFi here is great and still works at the beach. The pool area is never over crowded from what I saw but we spent our days on the beach with the free loungers provided. The sea water is crystal clear and you can walk out a long way without getting too deep. Had breakfast every day in the restaurant but did eat out in the evening quite a bit as there are so many lovely tavernas close by. Breakfasts were lovely (maybe could have been a bit warmer) and the evening meals when we did stay in were good also with a good choice on offer. All staff made us feel very welcome including reception staff,restaurant waiters, bar staff and management. Special shout out to Andreas, Spyros and not forgetting Stratos and Costas all of whom we had a giggle with when passing. Looking forward to booking again for next year!

Lovely setting with beach, pool and gardens. Clean rooms, with air con and Wifi all working well. The hotel was directly on the beach, with its own sunbeds. However there didn’t seem to be enough beds for everyone so usual dash in the morning to reserve them. We had a lovely room (723) that had great views of the beach and the distant hills. There’s a fly screen on the balcony which was great. Great location , gardens reach onto beach, very clean pool area. Local to plenty of restaurants and bars within 10 mins walk. Drinks prices in hotels beach bar a bit overpriced but probably paying for beach setting. Generally quiet as there is not a lot to do in the area either day or night. Bar had entertainment on most evenings. Food, OK. Breakfast has reasonable choice but Dinner was average and lacked a bit of choice & quality, for me. For a 4 star hotel, I would say the food was average.
