Grecotel Daphnila Bay

We had a great stay here — honestly, I was pleasantly surprised after reading some mixed reviews beforehand. The staff were super friendly and hardworking, always keeping everything clean and making sure guests were comfortable. The food options were great, and the setting is just beautiful. We stayed in one of the bungalows, and yes, as others mentioned, it could use a bit of maintenance and updating, but that really didn’t bother us. The only downside was that the room felt quite damp, so the ventilation could definitely be improved. The pool area is amazing (though the water was a bit chilly during our October stay!). The kids’ club was fantastic — lots of great activities to keep the wee ones busy and entertained. The location is a bit secluded, but the hotel shuttle and taxis make getting around easy enough. If I had to suggest one thing, it would be to add some more affordable laundry options — maybe a self-service setup — since the hotel laundry service can end up a bit pricey for young families (hard on laundry), so having a more practical option would make a big difference. The walk from the main hotel to the beach was totally fine for us — a bit hilly, but our under-5s managed it happily. We saw some reviews complaining about the steep hill but there is a car ride offered up and down if you need a lift. Overall, it’s a lovely spot and a great choice for families!

Absolutely brilliant! Long review but hotel/staff deserve it❤️ Weather was awful...rain & very cold but staff & hotel made up for it & they made my b'day very special wth flowers/bubbly & chocs on arrival in my room. All staff here are so friendly & nothing is too much trouble. Rooms & hotel spotless clean. Guest relations are there constantly attending to any request & just forever smiling & making you feel special! Food is lovely..varied & constantly replenished. You're greeted at the buffet restaurant door & taken to a table of yr choice which means youre not wondering around searching for one...then drinks order taken by waiter/waitress in lovely greek style uniform & full of smiles. A la carte available but we cancelled due to outdoor dining. Beachbar/restaurants/entertainment all open as normal...(even in rain) & golf buggies racing up/down constantly...again even the drivers kept smiling. Evening bar area had good entertainment but was exceptionally busy as everyone was in there due to the bad weather outside. The bar staff did struggle but once again did their utmost best to serve you asap& kept the positive attitude. We were able to keep room on as very late departure but even Maria(she was also lovely)arranged a slot for us to sauna/shower/freshen up in the spa. Will definately be booking to return next May..thankyou to all the staff there for making us feel part of the Grecotel Daphnila family 😁❤️

Amazing hotel!!! Stunning views, great food and lovely staff. The food was amazing, we booked the restaurants included in advance as they get booked up, so glad we did as they are such high standards!! The beach was gorgeous, lots of fish to see and the water sports handlers were so helpful. Our rooms were very modern with great views and was cleaned everyday & topped up with essentials. Amazing trip thanks so much!!

Stayed here in the middle of September, was amazing from start to finish. Did not want to leave! From when we arrived, we were taken care of, we were upgraded from a twin main hotel room to a family bungalow with a view of the bay. We arrived around 1am and were taken down the steep hill on a buggy and they took our luggage into the room for us. We booked all the A La Carte restaurants a week or two in advance on the app (were advised to book up soon as they are popular and book up quick). All of the a la cartes lived up to expectations. Tavernaki being our favourite followed by hot stone and the fine dining restaurant. We used the hotel boat transfer into Corfu town which was an experience in itself definitely recommend. This was €25 a person. Only negative is the location in proximity to local towns and attractions and the wasps (this was down to the season) however this certainly would not put me off from revisiting as the hotel outweighed this massively. Wasps were very prevalent by the beach restaurants, we did have to abandon our lunch on one occasion as we were swarmed by about 15 of them. Amazing views of the bay and Albania in the distance everywhere you looked was a perfect setting. We made the most use of the beach compared to the pool. The pool loungers were comfier however. A proper good quality all inclusive which didn’t feel like your basic average all inclusive. Thanks to all the staff for making it such a wonderful stay, would definitely return 😁☺️

Brilliant experience thanks to the hospitality team and very helpful and polite staff - they are definitely the soul of Grecotel. Best views and hands down the best beach in Corfu. Carefully curated cuisines and plenty of activities to keep all age groups engaged. Really well planned meals and activities. A lot of attention to detail. A super dining experience at the Danilia Village. Not to be missed if you’re planning to come here. A special thanks to Alexandra in guest hospitality, Hassan at the reception and absolutely everyone in the restaurants for making our stay truly memorable and comfortable. Efcharistó!
