Blue Princess Beach Hotel & Suites

Well where do I start this is definitely not a 4 star hotel, it’s the worst hotel I have ever been to. The view and location is 5 star however everything else from service to food is absolutely awful. We arrived on the 17th May really looking forward to this holiday having worked really hard to come here when we arrived and walked into reception I felt a bad vibe about the place not like a normal all inclusive hotel at all. We didn’t get our room until 2.30pm which is fine we went and explored the grounds, loved the view the best part about the holiday however this can’t make up for or justify the hotel itself. We were given room 405 at first it’s up a bit of hill got driven up there with our cases no problem. However on arriving to in the room we couldn’t pull the curtain across the curtain rail kept falling down there was none of the usual facilities you would normally get e.g kettle, tea, coffee, shower gel etc. The evening after that someone else had moved in above us we could hear every little thing from their footsteps to them snoring! We went and complained the next morning to get our room moved this was done however up to a room much higher up the hill. Was a much nicer and cleaner room than the original and up by a pool which had music and drinks but shut at 6pm. We did however find an ants nest on the floor which we used our repellent to get rid of them the electric went whilst we were there to causing no air con in the room. The food- The food at this hotel was always the same no variety for lunch and dinner the food was very bland no taste at all so we ended up going to the beach bar which you had to pay for the food small amount of options available there too and is made in the same main restaurant as the all inclusive food. Was average nothing special and you do get 20-30% discount. We also tried what they call an A La Carte seafood restaurant again bland overcooked food here the bread was stale and again from the main restaurant not even separate like I have experienced before. One of the waiters there also told us about the cafe just behind them which was separate to the hotel so we tried them out and it was so much better! We ended up eating out 3 days of the week just to try and get a proper meal would definitely recommend Mariners and the Costa steak house restaurants for food just up in the village. Staff- Many of the staff here are rude other than the fair few shout out to Otto and Spyros the hotel needs more of these hard working gentleman always polite and very friendly. Maria at reception was also helpful when moving our rooms for us etc. However the same can’t be said for the rest of the staff there we wanted a lift back up to our new room which was right up the hill to be walked straight past saying no I’m busy your both young and fit to do that walk judging us not knowing my partner actually had a heart condition so she couldn’t do the walk every time. Rent a boat- Be careful when and if you rent a boat we paid €80

The location of this hotel is idyllic. It is perched on a hillside, just above the beach in the most beautiful cove. On arrival we had some small issues. However, the hotel manager spoke to us personally and showed a genuine interest in solving the problems. These were then acted upon quickly. It seems he is keen for everyone to enjoy their experience and displayed a great deal of good will towards us. I'm sure the attitude shown to customers will surely see the hotel go from strength to strength. We are likely to book a return trip as a result. Highlights - Boat trips from the beach, on site beach side eateries offer good quality and discounted food, free shuttle bus to village where a public bus goes to Corfu Town for €2.20, nice pools, a number of highly regarded restaurants in the village.

The staff were amazing and so friendly, the view was fantastic and the food was amazing. Would recommend the local food and the authentic Greek coffee, it was very very good. The beach is great with lots of sun beds and great spots for taking photos
