Ionian Blue Garden Suites

The food was lovely, with plenty of choice at breakfast and dinner, and the kitchen staff even made me vegan porridge for breakfast. The pool area was stunning, and there was a private beach. We had a beautiful view of the runway and lake. Every day the happiest doorman greeted us with a smile. All the staff were incredible and so helpful, from reception and the breakfast and dinner waiting staff to the cleaners and bar team. We especially want to mention the pool bar and restaurant staff. Georgia was one of the first people we met there and quickly became a lovely, friendly face. All the pool staff made our stay special, and the service was the best. Everyone greeted us warmly with a smile. We’d recommend staying here 1000% and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you all, you’re wonderful!

Our balcony looked over both the pool and the sea, with breathtaking views. We had a fantastic stay and would happily come back with more family. The hotel was stunning inside and out, impeccably maintained, and cleanliness was clearly a priority. Our room was serviced daily to a very high standard. We were pleasantly surprised by a complimentary upgrade to the top floor. The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and comfortable, with a large walk-in shower or wet room, plenty of storage, a big TV, and a compact but roomy fridge restocked daily with bottled water. The beds were extremely comfortable, fresh linens were provided, and we got two pillows each every day. The staff throughout were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The pool was fantastic, with warm water and a great atmosphere. On busier days, finding a sunbed could be tricky because guests reserved them despite hotel policy. Beds often freed up later in the afternoon, which suited us since we liked exploring during the day. There’s lift access from behind the pool down to the beach, where hotel guests can use more sunbeds. Availability could also be limited there at peak times because of reservations. Once, some beds were set aside for “special guests” who never showed up, which was frustrating. The beach itself was lovely, and the beach bar served delicious food and drinks. We highly recommend the gyros wrap! The main buffet had a wide selection. There weren’t many choices for children beyond chips, but it encouraged our fussy pre-teen to try new foods, which was a nice surprise. Breakfast and dinner were both enjoyable, and the desserts were especially delicious.

Lunch at the pool restaurant was a real highlight. Everyone there was attentive, quick, and professional, and the food was delicious. The beef tenderloin was cooked just right, and the CHP Rose with pink gin and mastiha was especially refreshing. We also visited the à la carte restaurant and started with coffee at La Veranda Restaurant, where Thodoris gave us a warm welcome and stood out for his professionalism. The hotel has a magnificent view that sets a lovely mood from the start. Harrys, the F&B manager, was incredibly kind, showed us around, and made sure lunch went so well. We’d happily come back.

The beach is just seconds away by the little funicular, and there are plenty of free loungers with both sun and shade. The sea was calm, good for families, and we spotted a few fish while snorkeling. The pool was crystal clear too. Corfu Holiday Palace is close to a small monastery that was a vacation highlight to visit. Everyone was super friendly and kind. Our room was sparkling clean, and breakfast had lovely fruit and vegetables, healthy choices, all kinds of coffee, and lots of gluten-free options. Dinner was great as well, with fresh, healthy food and vegan and gluten-free choices.
