팔라파르트 지카스 고우비아

Lovely clean hotel and apartment was lovely, only small signs to find reception which is a bit of a trek with cases, my only issue was when we arrived we had to pay 10 euro per person for visitor tax which we knew about (you have to pay cash) but then charged 10 euros per day for air conditioning which I think is very expensive and wasn’t that great (we were there 10 days) and it would have been more if we opted to pay for safe which was tiny. Room was spacious and clean, and towels were changed daily. There were 4 pools and plenty of sun beds so there were no sunbed wars. Drinks at the bar were very expensive, we ate at the pool bar twice food was nice and reasonably priced, Christina was lovely. I thought Gouvia itself was a little run down on first appearance but was nice There is a little shop around the corner and a bigger supermarket on the Main Street ( a big green building with red writing) this is also where you will be picked up for excursions. Gouvia centre was only a short walk away but across a very busy road, there were plenty of bars and plenty of lovely places to eat and was good value for money. The beach was nice we paid 10 euro pp for a sunbed which included an umbrella and an ice bucket and a bottle of water which I was very impressed about. We caught a number 7 bus to Corfu town which was really easy 5 euro pp, Corfu was lovely, there are loads of shops and places to eat. We booked a trip to Albania which was worth it was a great day out, only a short ride on a ferry. # prepare yourself for putting the toilet paper in a bin not down the toilet 😳

Currently at this hotel, staying gor 5 days. We booked a swim up room which is great as you get the loungers too. There's no shortage of loungers for everyone else though. The room itself is a good size. Beds are very comfy. The staff are lovely and helpful and it's literally about 6 min walk to main shops and restaurants. The complex has 2 pool bars and 4 pools. If I was being very picky it has a slight chavy feel to it when loads of people are about, but fine when it's quiet. Its nice a quiet of a night as it's away from the main road. There is a tiny supermarket about 1 min walk away. Basically everything you need you will find here for about a 3 star hotel. Would recommend to others.
