Aqualand Village

Koukou Move! Start a paaarrtty YAY! We recently came back from here with the family and if you are the kind of group who are looking for problems or things to complain about, dont read this review. We actually enjoyed the place and would come back again, yes beds are hard but after a day of lounging at the pool, in the water park, on the beach or in town you wont really care. Our room was one of the family rooms with the additional shower and a rather nice view of the wave pool and the water park, other members of our group were in the standard rooms and none of us complained out them. Single Single Double So the only let down for me was that you had to buy food and drinks in the water park, BUT, access is free and you can come and go so there is nothing stopping you from going from pools to slides as and when you want, just like we did. The main bar serves plenty of drinks and I wish that i found out what the beer was on tap but there are plenty of cocktails for both adults and children alike. TIP: get the God Father with lemonade for a longer drink ;¬) The bar staff are very friendly and even with the 4 drink limit (at the pool bar), they had no problem in taking the order whilst I took the drinks to the group and instantly made the last few when I returned. For kids, there is ice cream and cold drnks round the back of the bar for them to help themselfs (if you can get them away from the pool). Note, the coke is COLA so dont expect CocaCola at all and you wont be dissappointed (think more along the lines of a panda pop). Snaks wise, there are plenty including toasties that you toast yourself, hot dogs etc and the hardest working ladies making pancakes all day, hats off to them. Meal times, try the wave tavern at least once! The main resturant was nice, kept clean and always had something even for the most fussy eaters in our group. To the Left, To the Right If you want a change of pace a a little traditional corfuit food, then take a walk to Costas Taverna, it's about 15 minutes away in the village and you will wonder if you have gone in the right direction (follow google maps) and dont get fooled by some of the other bars near to it. The owners were wonderful and the meal for 8 paople was very well prices for us all. Sexy The entertainment staff for 2019 were brilliant and worked tirelessly all week. They have pool games and activities through the day and then often put on fun entertainment in the evenings. There is no pressure to join in with any of the activities at all but you will enjoy it if you do. I'm sure that withing a day or 2 you will know most of the dances that take place in the hotel, unless you are not here. The hotel puts on a free bus to Glyfada Beach and Corfu town, if you can, do both, the town is really nice and has a Pirate boat down at the docks that can give you a nice tour of the area then plenty of shopping afterwards. The beach is a must at least once or twice and take a snorkle (or buy one at the shop) as the water is crystal clear with small fish swimming at your feet, plenty of watersports in the summer pristine clean sand for the kids (and big kids) to build castles on. Shakey Shakey Ok, there are plenty of things there that sting, but not in the pools... If you leave drinks around they tend to swarm them and often go for quite specific ones, I found that anything with Kumquat or Gin they liked more than most. The hotel does try and keep them away and I don think that a little more cleaning could be done on the communal areas (pressure washing daily for example) but they do otherwise try their best, bars have plenty of traps etc. Anything with citroenella it is seems to keep them away, cant comment on the mosies they get you when you are not expecting it. Dont be afraid of the crickets, yes they are huge and dont look friendly but will happily leave if you gently persuade them out, or use a glass and card. Let me see your koukou move! If you are about to post a review and don't pick up something hidden in this review, don't comment as you didn't go.

Stayed here for a week’s all inclusive in October with my wife and daughter. The good parts? Wave pool was fun, aqua park next door is brilliant and the staff that work there were really friendly. Accommodation was clean and serviced daily except Sundays. Entertainment team were great, Matthew, Victor, Arancha, Jessie etc were great, v chatty and friendly, providing activities throughout the day, darts, pool, aqua gym, usual things really. The Old Town was a 20 minute bus journey away and well worth visiting, even if to break up the monotony of the surroundings of the resort itself which is in the middle of nowhere despite only being a 15 minute bus transfer from the airport. The bad things? Well...there’s a few tbh. There are literally wasps everywhere and it is quite a shock at the pool bar when you see makeshift wasp catchers riddled with dead wasps. It seemed unhygienic at the pool bar for this reason. You couldnt sit or lay anywhere without being disturbed by the pesky things as they tried to drink your drink etc The food was terrible really, never piping hot, very samey throughout the week. Snack bar food was a joke really, cold chips, cold cheese puff thingys, a toastie selection that you had to cook yourself on a couple of old toasting machines dating to 1958 i think. Never very warm after that either. Fresh crepes were the only saving grace here. Drinks served in plastic glasses not much bigger than a sewing thimble and deffo watered down. Hotel staff in general suffering from miserable-itis save for two bar-men whom were actually really good/smiled. Evening entertainment was the worst ive ever seen on holiday. I felt so sorry for the people that delivered it because it was the same guys that were part of the entertainment crew for the day. I seemed to spend more of the evenings being part of the entertainment along with a few other guys than i did watching it which was slightly annoying. Karaoke x2 evenings (im needed), bingo, “Mr Aqualand competition” (im needed), magic show “im needed”. Finally a Latin dancing show by some pro dancers which was great to watch. Weather on the whole was great, met some lovely people and my daughter enjoyed herself and made some lovely friends, just a shame about certain aspects that let the place down really. Would i go back? No, i couldnt say i would, however, a visit to the aquapark next door is well worth doing separately as a day trip.
