This is going to be an honest and lengthy review as many do not give an accurate or detailed picture of what to expect from this hotel and Tui. We stayed at the end of September, beginning of October 2023 and it was the best weather we’ve ever had in Corfu. We always visit this time of year, and each visit has got hotter and hotter. We travelled with Tui and more of them later. The Pantokrator is a beautiful hotel. It is immaculate in every way. It is spotlessly clean everywhere (except for a large cobweb in our room which I noticed halfway through but not by the housekeeping unfortunately. I’ve no problem with cobwebs but they need to check above eye level) and the staff are well trained and keep the place looking lovely. The décor is modern and contemporary in a sleek and minimalist way, especially the dining room which is fabulous. The lobby is spacious with lots of seating and the verandah balcony had lots of sofas and chairs, and a pool table at the end. The bar is roomy and modern with plenty of room for the occasional entertainment. We were very impressed with the food especially as the evening meal was not catered to the British or German palate (the main guests here). Breakfast was a mixture of hot (bacon, eggs, sausage, beans etc) and cold (croissants, pastries, cakes, fruit, yoghurt etc) so there was something for all tastes. Dinner was completely Greek which we thought was excellent. Every night there was a different choice (I have posted some menus) and it was always delicious. The dining room staff are excellent and well trained. They were mostly young women, and they were polite and happy and always had a cheery smile. Plates were collected promptly, and drink orders were taken quickly and efficiently. So, yes there are cats and wasps but that is Greece. You can ignore them both and they’ll go away. But we had no issues at breakfast as I would open a pot of honey and put it at the end of the table, and they’d swarm on it and leave us alone. And there are only two cats that patrol the dining room, the other seven or eight wait patiently outside on the edge of the car park and wait to be fed by someone. Cat food is available at the small shop and by day 2 I was buying biscuits and feeding them outside as that way they all got something. The main bar is open in the evenings and has some entertainment. We had a singing duo and a Greek night and there is a big screen for sports on other nights. The service is good either from the bar or you can sit and wait for table service. Prices are reasonable. At the pool bar food is available during the day and this was excellent quality. The pizza was one of the best pizzas I’ve had outside of Italy it was so good. The portions are enormous and after the first day, we would choose a meal and share it as it was sufficient for both of us. The prices are particularly good for how much you get. The barman was very good and as he has an English mother, he spoke English like a first language, so nothi
Very Good
