Messonghi Beach Hotel

We visited Messonghi Beach Hotel as a couple for a week from 22/06/2019. Our first impressions were good. We arrived too late for the evening meal and just after the all inclusive which ended at 11:00. Check in was quick and efficient and we were given free drinks vouchers to use in the bar. We were shown to our room by a porter who had kindly arranged for light refreshments to be left in our room. We had a room overlooking the river and although it had a free safe, this was not attached to the wall so anybody could have walked off with it! The room itself was not huge but it was clean with a comfy bed and the shower was fine. The hotel is very big but it is kept clean and tidy throughout and the grounds are well looked after. There is a separate part of the hotel which is just for the French but this did not impact on us. The staff were pleasant enough but some could interact with the guests more. The main restaurant is a real bun fight and was much too chaotic and noisy for us. On the second day however due to overcrowding we were ushered through to another restaurant which was a different world. Although the food was the same it was a lot more civilized and there is a nice outdoor seating area. There is a third restaurant but this is entirely for the French. The food was of good quality with decent choice although the labeling was a little inconsistent at times so you did not always know what you were about to eat!. If you fancy a change of scenery during the day there is another restaurant by the French area towards the beach where you can get some lunch although there is less choice than in the main restaurant. There are 3 bars in total. The main one is open all day from 10:00 until 1:00 although you have to pay for your drinks after 11:00. The pool bar shuts at 2:00 for some reason and reopens at 6.00. This was probably inconvenient for those who spent the day around the pool but it was not too far to the main bar. There is also a beach bar which opens from 10:00 until 6.00. Soft drinks, beer and wine are self service in the main and a beach bars which helps keep the queues down. All drinks up to 11:00 are served in plastic glasses. Although this is obviously better during the day around the pool and beach for safety reasons it did rather spoil the ambiance on the evenings and isn’t all that good for the environment. Usually we find all inclusive drinks to be watered down which is fine by us. However we both found the drinks stronger than normal so please take that into consideration! There is not a huge selection of drinks but they all tasted pretty good so there were no complaints from us! The background music in some parts of the hotel was a was a little too loud for our taste but there are plenty of quieter spots to relax if you want to avoid the crowd. We chose to spend every day on the beach which is safe albeit full of shingle. The sea stays very shallow for a long way out but we would advise you wear beach shoes to protect your feet We paid 6 euros a day for 2 sunbeds and a shade but given that we found a quiet spot well away from the beach bar right in front of the sea we considered this to be good value for money. We often had a dip in the pool on the way to lunch to cool off. The pool was fine although it is a little on the small side for the size of the hotel. The hotel is situated between Messonghi and Moraitika and we walked towards both places after dinner on the night. It feels a safe area to explore with plenty of shops and taverns but beware the aggressive flower sellers at the hotel entrance. Not nice at all. There are 2 people on the beach who offer evening boat trips to Corfu, one is known as “Mr Bond” and the other is “Angelina Jolie”. We booked with Angelina half way through the holiday and although you only get 3 hours in Corfu we considered this to be well worth doing and is not too expensive. There are also many bars and restaurants along the beach for you to enjoy an evening meal if you want a break form the all inclusive. We cannot comment of the entertainment as we did not partake. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Messonghi Beach and for the money we paid we found it good value. The room was clean, the food and drinks were of a decent standard and the beach is lovely. We would recommend this hotel. It may not be the poshest we have stayed in but it does what it says on the tin.

the hotel is a large clean but not friendly like some of the smaller greek hotels, stayed for a week june 2019 cant really fault the hotel but the staff are, well not rude but unfriendly. the restaurant is a bit over crowded food is ok but is a bit "samey" slide costs 6 euros per person per week, sounds good but only open 4 hours per day, wifi 2 euros per day per item, pool a bit small for the size of the hotel but being on the beach we did'nt use it much,overall a nice hotel just lacking in a few areas
