We arrived in the middle of the night, to find we were staying in Kavoc, My friend wasnt very happy as she was looking for a quite holiday, we got picked up by a couch and dropped off outside a hotel, nobody knew what was happening, a mini bus then picked us up and brought us to the place, first impressions not good, place not kept very good, we were then taken to our room, alot of people were saying that they were going to leave the following morning. After two hours sleep, we had a look around the place, very basic accomadation, pool looked lovely, spent most of the day beside it, holiday looked better, staff behind the bar very friendly, my friend softened to the place, we enjoyed three days of lovely sunshine and nice cocktails, then i had a family emergency, we contacted the rep he was excelent, he sorted us a flight out and transfers, he couldnt have been more helpfull, i would go back again, as it was right on the beach and far enough away from the noisy part.

Koulouris Beach Appartments Kavos Corfu-
1)Hygiene-non existent-rooms dirty on arrival, spent 1st day cleaning with bleach and
disinfectant. Towels not changed for 14 days, toilet rolls not replaced for 14 days, had to buy our own. Caught cleaner brushing bed with floor brush - only came into room once in 14 days. Fridge unsafe - electric socket wires exposed.
2)Pool area - not suitable for children. Child aged six in our party cut foot badly 1st
day on a broken tile in children section of pool, had to get doctor, badly cut foot.
3) Thomas Cook representative - not in attendance all 14 days - no-one there at any of times advertised on notice board. Telephoned resort office on several occasions to obtain information especially about departure arrangements and reporting accidents and concerns.
Having travelled extensively over 30 thirty years this is the worst standard of accomodation we have ever stayed in - not even close to a 3 star rating in any classification.

Okay. i was quite apprehensive about going to this place because of some bad reviews. I was scared that our transfer wouldn't work, and when we got dropped outside a random hotel, i was getting scared. But some guy picked us up in a little car and took us down a small road to the hotel. I'd read that the pool was gross and green and that the rooms were dirty. BUT...when i saw the pool it was fine. No green slime. people were swimming it. there was popular music playing. there was a jacuzzi at one end. It was really really good. We spent every day by the pool and was always in it, cause it got so hot.
The room was fine. There wasn't much storage space, and for three girls that wasn't that great, but we managed. There wasn't much to use if you wanted to cook, (we ended up boiling pasta in a frying pan!) but it was fine. we only ate in once, and the food by the pool is really good, and of course there are restaurants up and down the strip. The shower had a rubbish drainage, but again, we managed.
I would recommend taking your own loo roll. and possibly your own towels. The cleaner doesn't come in that often but as long as you keep tidy its fine. We didn't really spend that much time in our rooms to be honest. It was perfect actually for the price and for sleeping and stuff like that. Just careful that you keep your doors locked when you leave. And i would recommend air con and a safety deposit box.
The barman Julio is a legend! he makes the best cocktails and happy hour is really good and its cheap stuff. If you get a good rep i would suggest that you go on the booze cruise, and listen to what they say about the clubs.
This hotel really isn't the place for families. it was filled with young people when we went and there was one family and i think they felt quite out of place. but its really good fun. But girls, take a torch or find a nice guy to walk you back along the beach because that can be scary, especially if your drunk and don't really know what's a tree and what's a person.
I would recommend this place, its out of the strip so you can go to sleep if you want to, and if you're sensible, nothing will get stolen or taken. But we had such a good holiday here.

No hot water the entire holiday, the room and towels stank of urine the entire time we stayed, we suspect there may have been a slight overflow from the drainage or something, booked with my partner and got 2 twin beds stuck together with a large wooden bit in the middle (may as well have spent the week apart) kettle was broken, no cooker, fidge was on balcony when we arrived and leaked the whole time we were there, electricity only works when you ghave the key in so food is spoilt either way, they charge a fortune in the bar for drinking water (think it was a euro for a small bottle or 6 large bottles at marias supermarket was 1.50 euros) was told this it is illegal for them to charge this much but not sure on the truth of this information. You will struggle to get a sunbed and if you do good luck enjoying the sun when you constantly geting splashed by the teens doing bombs in the pool or getting hit by the balls from there lads games. while we were staying there a young girl cut her foot in the babies pool. bearing in mind its a babies pool with a drainage point not covered by grate and extremely sharp cut tiles in it. The mother of this child had to pay for a doctor to see to her and the hotel wanted nothing to do with it. the beach is full of fag ends and rubbish which i dont wuite understand for a place they prides themself on the beach not one of the hotels along the beach tried to keep them clean. glass condom rappers and all sorts could be found. DO NOT BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY HERE. especially if you are a family. if you do find the need to go to kavos for the 18-30s ensure you stay at sweet dreams, just next door to kolouris but much better family run apartments. will definately be getting in touch with thomas cook about this holiday. I am 20 and i found it to be full of immature 16-18 y olds with no respect for anything. i am surprised the greek even want anything to do with the brits over there after i seen the way they treat eveything.

I have read so many bad reviews on this place which i have to totally disagree!
Myself and my boyfriend went for 14 nights at kouloris beach which has got to be the best holiday ive had so far. I must admit when we first arrived it was like 3am so very dark and quite scary going down dark dirt tracks at that time in a mini bus. The rooms are basic yeah but who goes on holiday to spend time in your rooms? hmmm. The people that own the place are so friendly we had a great laugh with them and still talk to them on msn messenger to this day. They played music around the pool (all the lastest tunes), games, watched films your name it it was ace. You are also basically on the beach, how much better can you get! the beach was clean and tidy with watersports on the door step and a stones throw into the main town which was amazing! So lively and something for everyone although i wouldnt say it was for families more 18-30s. Everything was clean and changed daily, the only downfall was cold showers but with sunburn wasnt too bad hehe.
Recommended place :-)

After arriving to the airport and getting dropped off outside a random hotel not knowing what was happing a small mini bus that would not even get to the mot centre never mind pass the mot picked us up. it then brought us on a extremely bad journey down bad roads. this was the best part of the holiday. the food was bad, the rooms where bad. the kettle didnt work, we had no lights for the 1st hour and had to sit in the dark. the shower didn't work, there was a wasps nest outside the door, the fridge and plugs didnt work. For a basic room there was alot wrong with it. the people in the two rooms next to us agreed. the owners where agressive, rude, unhelpful, sleezy but mainly very agressive. i am not usually a person to complain. if u pay a small amount you should not expect great things but the very attitude of the people who work there would make you sick. if i could give this place an overall rating of 0 i would.

After reading some of the reviews me and my cousin were really worried but infact non of the bad reviews could be further from the truth! On arriving to the Kalouris beach me and my cousin were a bit dissapointed as we felt it was out of the way from the nightlife, unitil we were told that if we walked straight along the beach we would get to the bars etc, which was correct. We found that the rooms were basic, clean and a maid would come in daily. All you need really when your in Kavos, Mary who runs the hotel was strict at first but really nice once you got to know her as was her son Thomas. The pool area was decent and the food was nice, quite a good selection. All in all i would recoment this hotel to any young people who want a good time partying and getting drunk in Kavos! x

I went with the girls...we got there and thought 'Oh my god, what is this and where the hell are we''....but after the first day once we had settled in, we had the time of our lives. We had a laugh with Mary n Tom and all the others! This has to be the best holiday i have been yet!We met some wonderful people too (martin, dicky, stevey, nick and ellie-HELLO boys)
Would definatley go back here!
Only bad point is...no recommended for family hols or a quiet holiday! Kavos definatly is the place that is open all night!
The night life was BRILLIANT!
