Hotel Apollon Corfu Paleokastritsa

I really wanted to love this hotel, and I can tell the staff genuinely care, but unfortunately my experience wasn’t what I had hoped for. The location is excellent—right across from a beautiful beach and surrounded by plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The staff were consistently kind, friendly, helpful and welcoming, which I truly appreciated. We booked the Annex with a “partial ocean view,” but in reality, the main view was mostly the parking lot. Breakfast was very limited. Coming from a hotel in Croatia with abundant breakfast options, this was a big disappointment. We stayed four nights but only ate breakfast once. The biggest issue was our room. While the interior and bathroom were new and nicely designed, we dealt with a constant problem of sewer flies. At first, we didn’t mention it, but when it continued, I emailed the hotel. They sprayed the room, but the flies returned, along with a persistent sewer smell in the bathroom. Housekeeping overlooked key details: the flies were not removed during cleaning, and basic items like shower gel weren’t replenished until I requested it. The exterior of the Annex felt neglected and lacked any effort to make it visually appealing. Overall, the staff’s warmth stood out but the hotel itself did not meet expectations for the price we paid. With more attention to detail and better upkeep, it could be a lovely stay.

Located in the heart of Paleokastritsa, right on the seafront, this hotel is simply superb, with breathtaking sea views. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the area is peaceful, and everything you need is just a few steps away – restaurants, shops, parking… all you could wish for a relaxing, worry-free holiday. We needed help with reservations and car rental, and the reception staff took care of everything – incredibly kind, helpful, and professional. I highly recommend this place! It was a truly wonderful holiday experience! 🌊✨

We stayed in the Annex for 5 days, and I am definitely going back! The annex is very modern with beautiful interior design. As it’s not on the Main Street, it’s quiet and tranquil all day. Although breakfast times are limited (8-11), it’s really good! The service was amazing and the reception is open 24/7. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there and the location was just absolutely amazing!

The hotel was fairly standard. We stayed in a newly built section, but our bathroom had a broken toilet seat, which made every trip to the toilet a ridiculous worry about falling. The breakfast was very basic—one expects fragrant, fresh ingredients like good olives, olive oil, or ripe tomatoes, but everything seemed like standard supermarket produce; there was no avocado, for instance. The eggs ran out frequently, and the service was poor. We had lunch there once as well, and it was terrible. The location was pretty good.

We stayed for a few nights in the double room with shared terrace. Having the personal sunbeds looking out to the beach was a nice touch, making for a relaxing stay. Overall, the room was great. It was spacious with a comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and it was nice to get a free glass of Prosecco on arrival. For its cost, it's definitely one of the better spots to stay in Paleokistrisa. The only downside would be the shower, which was tiny but everything else was great.

The location is superb. Breakfast is quite rich but the same every day. We had an unpleasant experience with the hotel manager, who hid from us for 3 days to avoid responding to a request (we had to leave the day before and asked for a refund of part of the amount as we had breakfast included). The hotel rooms are quite outdated, not renovated. The pictures in the hotel description are far from reality.

This is a review for the restaurant only. The food was good and the views are amazing. The prices were higher than in other parts of Corfu, but average for the area. The service was good even though it was very busy.

Excellent experience at Hotel Apollon. Such an incredible location steps from the beach, what more could one ask for? We had two rooms in the Annex which has only recently been opened, the rooms are very modern and air conditioning was polar which was a life saver in the Greek heat. The service was top notch, front desk gave us great recommendations on places to eat and we had memorable, tasty experiences at all the places that were recommended. My only concern with the room was the sink faucet spout extended too far over the basin which was not too functional as I could not bring my hands to my face over the sink basin to wash, which is a design flaw.
