Corfu Sea Gardens

AIRPORT TRANSFER The transfer from the airport took forever as the rep spent ages checking everybody in and we were the last stop. The bus was far to hot and it was around 4am so it was pretty unpleasant. To get to out hotel in Aspro Kavos (about a 5 minute walk from Kavos) we had to go through Kavos and the driver had to dodge the many drunks weaving about the road! First impressions weren’t good, there were McDonalds, KFC and tacky sex shops. ACCOMODATION The reception area was very nice and the reception staff were friendly enough, however as we were a late booking we were allocated a room far out of the main complex, and we were only pointed in the direction by a very unfriendly security guard. It took us around half an hour to actually find our apartment and it was terrible - like a dungeon! However all credit to the rep who got us moved into a new apartment in the morning. The new apartment was actually two studios that had been knocked together and were very spacious, with two bathrooms and were clean, bright and airy with a huge balcony overlooking lovely gardens. The equipment in the tiny kitchen were basic to say the very least, we had one electric ring that didn’t heat up enough to cook anything, a tiny fridge and a toaster that took about half an hour to cook one slice of bread! The maids were brilliant and cleaned the apartment thoroughly and changed the sheets regularly. The pool was very big and there were enough sunbeds and brollies for everyone. The entertainment reps worked very hard to keep everyone happy, all credit to them - Louise, Katie and Stephen. The bar was hugely over priced but there was a happy hour and most people bought their drink then or at the on site supermarket which was cheaper and well stocked with most things. The food was nice although a bit samey and the restaurant and bar staff were very friendly. There was a big screen in the indoor bar where they showed football, Big Brother etc. The Greek night was a good laugh with Greek dancing and plate smashing etc. RESORT Aspro Kavos can’t exactly be considered a resort as all it consists of is a few apartment complexes and the odd restaurant or two. As Kavos is really only for the young and fearless (haha) this is REALLY not the place for families at all. Kavos is dirty and smelly and full of drunks! The beach is also dirty with empty beer cans and used condoms lying around! Really really horrible resort. All in all we did have a good holiday only because we met some really nice people and the accommodation was alright but we never moved out of the complex the whole week we were there because Kavos is such a dump, sorry but just don’t go because you will regret it!
