The food is of poor quality, mainly served with pastries, cookies, purchased snacks and instant coffee. Also, some tourists spoke unflattering about the service at the hotel, the workers at the reception are inconsistent, and if they are at the workplace, they react sluggishly and disdainfully to the requests of the guests.
Of the positive, most guests confirmed that the village of Benitses and the hotel grounds are very beautiful, the maids are conscientious, they clean well. The internet works pretty well, and it's really free. The beach and the very atmosphere of relaxation in Kerkyra are also described by tourists in a very positive way.
