Hotel Korkyra

After travelling through Europe for 5 weeks the Korkyra was the WORST Hotel of our stay. We booked a Family Comfort Room, 415. We arrived to a smart arse and angry receptionist whose name I won’t mention here, to find that the right side vanity tap, hot water, did not work, three globes above the vanity mirror we out burnt out, no soap in the shower, (how does that work), no luggage racks, no tea or coffee making facilities, no availability of an ironing board or iron, no slippers or dressing gown (as advertised), no complimentary water (town water is very heavily chlorinated), the down button on the lift did not work (we were on the forth floor), we could not borrow pool towels to go to the “beach” . We eventually got a kettle that was so old that its internals were heavily stained with chlorine residue that each time you boiled water (including bottled water purchased from a supermarket), it made the water stink with chlorine - guess how that made the tea taste. WE eventually received soap for the shower in little foil satchels that you are supposed to tear the corner off and squeeze - 10 satchels for 1 shower, so we went to the supermarket and bought our own soap. At breakfast, I asked for poached eggs and received boiled eggs, no omelette was able to be made and the coffee machine used syrup coffee and not coffee beans - guess how that tasted. To be fair, a nice pool and the younger reception staff like Zlata and the South African receptionist were very nice and helpful, so too the restaurant wait staff like Suraj and the maitre dee Sasha did a great job. I could go on. Our experience certainly DOES NOT match the advertising.

Perfect place to stay if you are in Vela Luka since it’s in the centre of the place. Only remark is for foreign staff in the restaurant since they are sometimes quite intrusive in means of standing close to your table and just waiting for you to put utensils on the plate and they take it. It’s like having someone standing close to your table and just waiting for you to finish the meal which does not always feel nice

The hotel is beautiful, cozy, clean, the staff is very friendly, always smiling and cheerful. The children are delighted, the pool is beautiful, the breakfast has a wide selection. We will come again next time. The location is excellent, 1 minute to the boat from Vela Luka to the islet of Proizd, we are very delighted. best regards❤️

Pleasant experience. Friendly staff. Neat rooms. Food was excellent. (breakfast/dinner). |We will be back again....

Excellent location to walk anywhere in town, or just around the bay. Also has own parking area (7€/d) for cars just next. Family room was nice and just soacious enough. Sofa ved maybe just a bit little - but they were clear on this and we knew it. Very large bathroom. Great view on sea! Ask for this. Nice and clean pool area. Good breakfast with some changing items every morning. Few youngsters serving in the restaurant - bit slow at times but all understandable. Would recommed this place to stay!

LOVED staying here. The location, staff and facilities were all perfect. The sauna was amazing. Rooms were very clean, bed was comfortable, views were gorgeous. Can’t go wrong!

At the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, we decided to spend our stay at Hotel Korkyra in Vela Luka, on the island of Korčula. In our search for an attractive location to celebrate New Year’s, my wife discovered Hotel Korkyra. The hotel offered a three-night package, including New Year's Eve, for €704.00 online. We booked it and didn't regret our decision.||The drive to Korčula along the Adriatic coast is incredibly scenic, and we enjoyed views of the new Pelješac Bridge and the Korčula coast. ||Hotel Korkyra is located right in the heart of Vela Luka, just 15 meters from the sea. The hotel is aesthetically pleasing, and although it typically closes for winter, it opened its doors for guests during the ten days surrounding the New Year. Our room was well-appointed, featuring two small balconies, a comfortable bed, a TV with only two or three channels, a desk with a chair, and a small fridge. The highlight of our accommodation was undoubtedly the all-glass shower located in the center of the room. While there are roll-down screens for privacy, who wouldn’t want to enjoy the unique experience of watching my wife take a shower every evening?||The package we purchased included breakfast and dinner, along with a New Year’s celebration that featured live music. We can attest to the quality of the breakfasts and dinners—each dish was fresh, delicious, and served in generous portions. With about 60 guests, all couples, the feedback on food, service, and overall ambiance was overwhelmingly positive. The New Year's band kept the atmosphere lively and festive.||The hotel also organized a walking tour of Vela Luka, led by a hotel employee who shared insights into the town's history and took us to its most important sites. During this tour, we visited a nearby konoba (a traditional Croatian tavern) where the owners treated us to homemade cookies, drinks, and their own olive oil, rakija (fruit brandy), wine, jam, and sweets. It was fascinating to learn that they have 500 olive trees and a vineyard. If you've ever gone olive picking (which we have), you would appreciate the monumental effort required to maintain and harvest 500 olive trees.||On January 1st, the hotel organized a boat ride for all interested guests. The boat was parked right in front of the hotel, and the captain took us on a tour of the beautiful surroundings. The sea was crystal clear, the beaches were inviting, and the entire trip was very well received by everyone on board.||On January 2nd, we enjoyed our last breakfast, which was once again rich and delightful, before checking out of the hotel. There’s a strong chance we will return in 12 months for another New Year’s celebration, despite a few minor complaints I had. The heating fan in the room was quite noisy, making it necessary to turn it off for a good night’s sleep. The TV had only two or three channels, and while the fridge was empty, we brought a few bottles of Jamnica and Cocta to solve that issue. Lastly, I thought the price of €704 for three days was a bit steep. I compared it to all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (€110 a day), Playa del Carmen, Mexico (€125 a day), and Sarasota, Florida (€140 a day). However, my wife pointed out that Hotel Korkyra's prices were in line with or lower than other offers in Opatija and Hvar, so I had to concede. Needless to say she always wins. Korkyra we'll see you again.

This is the 3rd time of staying, so obviously we like the hotel and Vela Luka.|However our experience this time was very negative. No welcome from the reception staff on arrival, and certainly no apology upfront about a wedding being hosted that evening. There was a live band playing until 4am, we had no sleep until then, only to be rudely awakened at 5.10 by drunken chanting by a number of the wedding party. |No apology was offered the next day and no sign of any management taking any interest in the guests. Perhaps the money from the wedding overrode the comfort of your guests.|On check out we weren’t asked about our stay, I wonder why? |One member of staff, Miranda, was great and a great asset to the hotel.
