Elly Beach Hotel Reviews
" We stayed at the Elly Beach Hotel,... "
Submitted By: Mrs L Maunder
We stayed at the Elly Beach Hotel, Liapades, Corfu for one week: 17th- 23rd May 2004. It was a truly disappointing experience.
The hotel is advertised as 4*. I would say it deserves a 2*. The location is indeed beautiful - right on the beach. Beautiful mountains surround you and the view is breath taking. The bedding and towels were cleaned daily and the cleaners were friendly. BUT, that is it!
What was wrong:
We paid for half board and the food was disgusting! Unrecognisable, unappetising, disgusting! I got food poisoning as did other guests. I was ill for weeks after the holiday and received medication from my doctor for a spasm in the bowel.
The shower didn’t work. The bath had no enamel, had to sit on a flannel! The water from the bath came up beside the toilet in the bathroom!
The beds were damp and cold.
Pathways to apartments are steep, unkempt, slippery and unsafe.
Accommodation2U rep was friendly but unhelpful.
Hotel management unhelpful and intimidating.
Some many complaints worse than ours we were ignored.
Advertised as having boats for hire on the beach but no licence or pontoon were there the week we were so unable to use these.
Advertised as having diving school - again not available when we were there.
Our flight was delayed for 2 and half hours as we had to detour to Italy to refuel. I was sick on the plane the entire journey home.
Have complained to company on arrival home and since now referring matter to ABTA.
Would not advise anyone to go to the Elly Beach Hotel.

The accommodation was a turn off right from the start, the bathroom floor flooded every time one of us took a bath. The bed sheets were changed every day, but on close observation they had cigarette burn marks on them.
When we were trying to eat breakfast swarms of wasps tried to land on our food & cats seemed to rule the roost, always begging around the tables. I love animals but this was ridiculous.

The hotel has 2 swimming pools one being salt water that meant a shower was required after a dip. The beach is mainly shingle with a steep winding lane leading up to Lipids itself.
The staff & the cleaners were really friendly people, but the manager seemed aloof and distant.

When me & my family go back to Corfu again in the future, because it is such a lovely island, we would avoid Elly Beach hotel mainly due to the plumbing system & the food, but that said the hotel is just average set in a gorgeous location.
