Dreams Corfu Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

I normally don’t bother with reviews but this is not an experience I’d like to repeat and I hope someone finds it useful. There are some positives but I can’t say there are many. We did stay in Corfu last year and I would recommend Grecotel LuxMe resorts any day over Dreams. I am a Hyatt customer and this is pretty far from this groups normal offerings and I’d agree with other reviewers that they’re trying to cram as much margin into this hotel as possible. To start on a positive the food offering at the main restaurant is really good. Well cooked and there is pretty much nothing you could want more of. I did struggle being told a grill was closed at 10.45am despite breakfast being served until 11. The staff were great here with the one exception. An older abrupt gentleman with an unfortunate manner. The staff were generally really good in the resort. Friendly and courteous etc. We had a room with three beds but arrived to one not being made up. I did call reception to ask on 3 occasions and whilst one time it didn’t happen because of a do not disturb sign it took over 24 hours to be done! Also on the room service front our fridge was not stocked up for two days until I called to ask if it was meant to be and they sent someone along. One day we got a note on the door that they couldn’t re stock for privacy issues (do not disturb on door handle) which is fair enough but I’d expect the room service team to coordinate the refill as they were in the room to clean once the sign was removed. Also again Grecotel win here as they’d do a stock run twice a day. Aside from this the room service staff on the whole did a good job otherwise and were friendly. It’s worth noting that three relatively short showers between 6 and 7 pm meant the last person showering didn’t get a warm shower every time. I know it’s warm outside but a warm shower is nice for all to experience. My main problem with this resort is I personally believe they have decided to fit as many people into this space as is humanly possible. The poolsides are rammed, and there are not enough loungers for the guests. Even if you paid the extra for preferred club these spaces looked even more crammed! We opted not to this time as when in the Caribbean we didn’t feel it was a necessary addition. I’m so relieved we didn’t here. The bars pre dinner are so full that there are no seats at all when you turn up. And after dinner if you go down to the beach bar it’s full too with no seats available at all. The additional dining options were not available on the week of the 12th of July apart from the Greek a la carte restaurant at 9.15 pm. I emailed the hotel to book these before arrival as I know they get busy but they said I had to book on arrival but the above was their availability when we arrived. I did talk to the reception on the grill restaurant and they told me the app sometimes causes problems so best to book direct with reception. This would have been good to k

Great hotel in a nice location lovely quiet area with stunning views. After eating in a few of the al a carte restaurants we realised that they are not the best an we ate out for the rest of are stay in the local village, Corfu centre is worth a visit but try an go when there are no cruise ships there! Silly busy! We booked a private boat trip down at the front of the hotel with Spiros an had a cracking time down the coast, Spiros has been working on the boats there since he was a kid an he knows everything about the area such a great bloke an good laugh! Lovely hotel an grounds just think they need to work on the food!
