Messonghi Beach Hotel

Cannot gush ENOUGH about this amazing, beautiful hotel and the fantastic week we had there. From check in to check out it was a blissful week of relaxation, fun and enjoyment. Firstly, Corfu itself is just gorgeous, after visiting other Greek islands, Corfu is definitely my favourite. You must visit Corfu town, we went twice and could’ve visited more. The old town is amazing, full of small shops and delicious places to eat. The old fortress is a MUST do. We climbed all the way to the top of the view from the top is insane!!! Back to the hotel, honestly, I can’t believe how it isn’t 5 stars. The decor, the staff, the food, the facilities are beyond worthy of 5 stars (and I’m fussy!!). The proximity to the beach is quite literally 30 seconds. No matter where your room is, you’ll never be longer than a 3/4 min walk away. The beach itself is sandy, which we weren’t expecting given it’s a Greek island. It’s clean and the water is clear with lots of little fish in! The pools are great, the bars.....have self service pumps!!!!!! GAME CHANGER!!! No queuing for drinks here!!! The hotel was at full capacity (so I’m led to believe) when we stayed and not once did the restaurant feel crowed. I am vegetarian and there were many choices I could eat. My daughter and husband eat meat and both said the food was delicious with plenty choice every day. Entertainment-again, amazing! The kids animation team and just brilliant and worth their weight in gold. They made my little girl feel so welcome and normally she is very shy! The evening entertainment is also fab, something different every night and each night we danced and laughed so much. The surrounding areas-given we went in May it wasn’t that hot until 10-11am so we went for a walk every morning, there is a nice circuit of 20mins each way (turning left/right) when you leave the main gates. There was a donkey we loved feeding apples too. We hired a speedboat from the stand just next to the hotel and it was a total highlight to our stay and would highly recommend it!! There is also a little rowing boat to get you across the river at the back of the hotel which was handy! I can’t stress enough how amazing the week we had was, I can’t thank the staff enough for giving us lots of lovely memories to take home with us. We will most definitely be back!!!

We had a very pleasant stay at this huge hotel. Very well maintained through the years, you will have to bring your own beach towels and pay for cold coffees, also you pay for drinks etc after midnight I think, other than that great hotel clean and organized with large rooms and great facilities. Food was of good quality and the beach was organized with sun beds and umbrellas that you also paid for but it was well worth it.
