Pantokrator Hotel

The Pantokrator Hotel is a no-frills, good quality hotel with spectacular views and provides everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Our rooms had air conditioning, a fridge to store drinks, comfortable beds and basic shower rooms - everything worked fine with no issues. Each room had a small balcony with a stunning sea view. The hotel is exceptionally clean and well maintained with a lovely pool area. There were lots of different types of sun loungers for relaxing, with a large swimming pool and smaller paddling pool. There is a large restaurant with outdoor terrace and pool side snack bar selling food and drink at reasonable prices. There is also a small gym for the holiday fitness fanatic, which is quite well equipped. We stayed half board and the food at breakfast and in the evening was plentiful, fresh with a good variety of choices. The hotel provides free WiFi which worked fine both in our rooms and around the pool. The hotel is perched on the side of a mountain and the rooms are laid out in a series of terraces above the main reception and restaurant building. You need to be prepared to walk up lots of steps or steep slopes to get to your room, so the hotel is not suitable for those with mobility issues. There is a free shuttle service which will take you between your room and the main road but we didn’t bother with this. All in all we had a lovely stay at the hotel, the staff are great and provided excellent service - 5 stars.

The hotel is clean, the food is fresh. But dont be mistaken, you are not allowed to eat or drink anything around the hotel unless purchased from the hotel. We went half board, the breakfast is a good selection, the evening meal never changed in 10 days, maybe 1 dish different. To get around you will need to take the bus which is an hour to get anywhere!. The hills up and down are no joke so be prepared. Corfu town, so expenaive to eat and drink,.the people are not particularly friendly in this country either. £120 euros for 2 people to go on a boat trip 3 hours there and back again, just to spend an hour in the sea if you wish and then an hour in a town, also mega expensive!. Its all a captured audiance. No snacks of an evening you have to climb up and fown to shops to get anything. I really did feel its not worth the money anymore.

Cleanliness was good,but not at the highest level. We had to climb on top of the hill. Maybe there's and option to accommodate people with children at a lowest level and not needing to walk all the way up. Food was excellent with loads of variety. Vegan options could be better . Restaurant staff is very friendly, reception team could improve friendliness. Prices are super high on the entire island. Going out on a day trip we arrived up north where the signal is so bad due to Albanian borders and we have not been warned at the reception. I think it should be told to tourists that traveling up north can be tricky with the internet signal.
