Grecotel Eva Palace at Kommeno Peninsula

Alan Richardson

I had a truly amazing experience at Grecotel Eva Palace from the moment I walked into the hotel. The highlights for me were relaxing at the pool and beach bar, where I ate a delicious poke bowl with fresh fish. The stunning view made swimming a pleasure, and the sunbeds were comfortable to relax and tan on. The level of service was top quality from the staff, as I ordered drinks at the beach, and the bar had music to add to the vibe. There was live acoustic music at sunset, which made this 5 star hotel feel like paradise on earth. I would rate this as one of the top hotels in Corfu.

The place is quite beautiful; however, for the price, I think that there’s a few things that you should be aware of before booking. 1. There’s a massive bee problem throughout the hotel. There’s bees mostly around the food areas and something I’ve noticed is that they are most attracted to chicken meat and products which is a little odd. 2. There are also cats roaming around the hotel everywhere so if you are allergic yo them, definitely do not recommend this hotel for you. 3. Prices of food is quite expensive on its own along with anything else in the restaurant. However, I strongly recommend the beach bar for food as it tastes amazing. On a positive note, the service here has been great and I do like the place a lot. It’s a very nice and relaxing space not as far from the center. A usual trip from the hotel to the center is around 35$. The atmosphere is quite nice and everything is fairly beautiful.

The staff were lovely and very attentive. We had a great view overlooking the sea from our bedroom and no noise disruptions. Lots of options at the breakfast and dinner buffet. The beach and pool are very close to each other and are easy to get to from the main hotel. Food at the pool bar was also very good. The hotel was also a short drive from the airport. The only few cons was that the WiFi was not very strong at times and the pool was in need of a clean. We also booked the hotel thinking it was adult only but it is not.

This is by far one of best experiences on the island. Everything was thought of and provided for with respect and hospitality by some of the best hotel staff in the world. The food and wine were delicious, the pool and sea were beautiful, and the view is second to none. I am only leaving 5-stars because that is the maximum or else I would leave more. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

On arrival, the building is impressive and it looks and feels like a luxury hotel. I agree with other reviewers who have pointed out the check-in process seems unnecessarily long and drawn out. At the end of a day of travel, we were just keen to relax in our air-conditioned rooms. We received a complimentary dinner on arrival, which was a lovely touch and much-appreciated, but did further delay arriving at our rooms. The lady helping us with the check-in process was exceptional. We had booked a deluxe and junior suite. The rooms were connected by a dedicated door to our apartments and were spacious and comfortable with great views, especially at sunset. We were advised to arrive early for breakfast each morning because at peak times there is a queue and a wait. This isn't ideal when coming on holiday and wanting to wake up and dine in a leisurely manner and most mornings we did have to queue. There is, however, refreshment available while you wait (juice and sparkling wine) and the staff do a good job of quickly rearranging tables to minimise the wait. The staff at breakfast were all great, with some standout employees. As pointed out by others, the property is not ideal from an accessibility perspective as there are steep and numerous steps to the pool and to the beach. As also pointed out by other reviewers, there is a problem with sun loungers by the pool being reserved and not being used (one had a book on it for at least three hours with no sign of the owner, who must have gone to the beach or elsewhere), although we were able to find at least one for our belongings on most days. One morning we tried to get the boat to the other properties but there was not enough space for five people. We also had to book the bus to the town centre a couple of days later due to limited space. As pointed out, the hotel is in a remote location but this is addressed by the bus service to the town centre. There are plenty of outstanding, reasonably-priced restaurants ranging from a three-minute to a 20-minute walk from the property. The property is on the flight path from the airport so there is some noise in that regard but this is probably true of all properties across the island given its size. There were wasps and cats, as pointed out by others, but they are part of nature and not necessarily the fault of the hotel. Overall, a good experience and a hotel we would return to, with room for some small improvements that would make this property stand out even more.
