Local Greek 4 star = USA 2 star - WSSSY. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Need to lower expectations to enjoy your stay at this hotel. Low quality furniture, fixtures and fittings. Health and safety issues especially with hygiene and cleanliness in and around the pool area (wasps, loose wires, etc) and in the restaurant. Open plan rooms lacked privicy and not helped by shoddy workmarkship especially the toilet and shower room doors not closing properly. The location is close to airport and Corfu town but there are NO nearby shops or restaurants so you will end up paying €40 return taxi trips which is quite expensive for such a short distance.

Loved the WaterPark at Aqualand Village Hotel - Essex Family. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Arrived about 3.15am - it's 2 hrs ahead of our UK time. I didn't book the coach transfer with the holiday, as it seemed cheaper to do it myself and get a Taxi from the Airport once we arrived- €25 max at that hour of the morning, 10-15 min transfer. Got our cases and headed for the taxis but only to see our name and some other families' names on a board... (Med-Hotel) All these people go to Lord Travel Office. All were told that there was a problem with Aqualand Village Hotel and we have to go down South to Kavos (an hour’s drive away) much better Hotel they said "The Cavo Bianco," it had its own beach too but forgot to tell us about the P*ss heads clubbers wondering round the hotel, lost! Also had to pay more for the transfer too. All we got from Med-Hotels/Lord Travel was speak to your rep in the morning and she'll tell you what's going on....great we thought. Well anyway... we arrived at Cavo Bianco Hotel about 5.30am only to be asked why are we here and there's no room for you... by 7am a room WAS found. My 3 kids were shattered and fed up just hanging around waiting and worrying. Got our heads down finally at 7.00am had a quick sleep, up for breakfast at 8.30am and then tried to sort out this mess. I got charged for every call I made BUT good news by 1.15pm a coach arrived and took us back to the Airport then a taxi from there to Aqualand Village Hotel. Our location of our room was great (2205) right opposite the restaurant, close to pools and reception area and evening entertainment and not noisy. Nice enough rooms-proper little kitchen with fridge/freezer, cooker and microwave very handy for my little ones milk at night. Nice little lounge area pull out-sofa with dining table and chairs, a three quarter partition wall separating the two areas with MY double bed leading out to patio area. (Sheets could do with some fabric Conditioner). Good working air-con and FREE, nice multi power-shower but no bath in our room. Towels got changed once in the week, extra money for the safe. Food... Needs improving not a great choice nor a great deal of thought went into it- twice a week they have a very boring show cooking display which you also get smoked out. More seating area needed unless you like being elbowed in the side or drinks poured down your back by the little people. Shoes and shirts to be worn in restaurant at all times. Unlimited ice-cream by pool bar all day with was great for the kids. They do nice Ice-cream shakes and they're free too. Pool bar closes at 6pm and roof top and main reception bars STOPS at 11pm on the dot for AI-you can still buy them after then though. They need more sunbeds as a lot are broken, pool area not cleaned very well sticky under foot from the day befores spilt foods and drinks. Plastic glasses not cleared out of the pools from the kids playing with them. Entertainment could do with a bit of a boost; water gym in the afternoon was ok-not forgetting the CLUB DANCE...hehe! There's no lift to roof bar and this is where there evening programme was held each night. WATER PARK...Absolutely brilliant so much fun all the family and me. All you to do is pick up a new coloured wrist band every day from the front entrance. Show your room key fob and you'll get in FREE! Wave pool was great too in our hotel grounds. We had a problems heading home too. Waited for our coach to come and pick us up at 3.00am as our check in was 3.15am. We waited and waited 45 mins later I asked the guy that was sleeping at the reception deck what should we do as the coach was late or not coming, he said "it will come as you have your ticket. There's nothing I can do" he said. He told me that I could order a taxi- which I did and paid another €25. Only just made check-in they had all gone through... not queuing which was handy. WOULD I GO BACK...? Yeah maybe, as the waterpark was brilliant for the kids. It wasn't too bad really(just me being picky) it was ok so don't worry too much, if you've booked or haven't found too many good reviews- we never went hungry and the waterpark really does make up with anything bad that might happen. Just enjoy. Booked with On the Beach and flew with First choice.
