Iolida Corfu Resort by Smile Hotels

Very good hotel. Location far from old town, but we used rentals car and it is not bother us. Breakfast is unbelievable with various dishes if you buy all inclusive save a lot of money due prices in restaurant really high. We used only Breakfast

Very small parking. We are at the very end of the season and can park the car outside the property on the main road. I can' t imagine that is happening on July and August.

The food and variety of cocktails is awesome. We took the option that included dinner as well and we were extremely pleased with it. The rooms are nice and clean. The staff is very niceThe location is good, a very short walk to the beach.

Breakfast was good, there's every type of breakfast. The pool is large and deep. Every staff member and cleaner is in uniform and greeting everybody. Reception is very helpful with information about Corfu and tours.Very quiet room (separate building), very clean. Great view on the mountains.

Breakfast; though a lot is available, no daily variation, every day the same. little variation in cheeses.Pool area only open between 10:00, to 18:00 (September)No easy access to the beach from the hotel.

We spend a week at the hotel. The staff was very helpful and welcoming.The facilities are clean and comfortable.

The hotel is very nice looking - seems very new and the rooms are extremely clean, spacious and equipped with everything you need. The staff has always been polite, accommodating and with a smile. The housekeeping is very thorough and we really appreciated always having water bottles left for us.All the facilities are in great condition and it was very nice to have the pool which is clean and easy to access from the main section of the hotel. There were always sunbeds available for us. The lifeguard was also very polite and was very dedicated to his job, shared tips and recommendations.We took the all inclusive package and it was definitely worth it, as there was a great variety of drinks, the food was amazing with a lot of options for both dinner and breakfast. The snack bar was well stocked and had a different main dish each day. In the evenings there is a very nice rooftop area where you have an amazing view.We took a bus to Corfu town, it was very easy to do so as the bus stop is right in front of the hotel. In addition you could buy the bus tickets from the hotel shop (cheaper than on the bus).Even the taxi driver they booked for us for the ride from and to airport was excellent, very welcoming and driving safely. Overall this is an excellent value for the price. The beach was not far, a 10 min walk. There are many restaurants and supermarkets in the area. The hotel guests are a mixture of families and couples. If we are to visit again we will definitely be staying here.

We just have one recommendation, which is to have the entrainment program printed out and given when checking in - with description and time & date. We discovered very late that there is a whole stage and music area for example. While the animators spoke English and French and often went the extra mile to ask everyone if they want to participate, we were very late to figure out that there is some entrainment happening if we missed when they were doing rounds. A map of facilities would also be handy to receive when checking in just so you have a grasp of what all is there.

The beds where really comfortable and the rooms and everything super clean. The staff was very nice especially to the kid

It's in a pretty boring neighborhood, not much to do. The food was fine but would have liked alot more freah fruits in the breakfast. Also vegan options where limited but I brought own cheese, some foods are marked with milk, eggs and so on but some not but staff could always check if I asked. The main reason we choose this place was due to the kids club, which unfortunately was not very active while we were there and mainly in french speaking

Staff were nice. Food was good.

One bar, hill and steps. Entertainment was not good and mostly in French.

The food was amazing ...Every meal was a hit, also quite varied, the staff were quite helpful and professional expecially the receptionist Kiki and the manager that made us mocktails, any issues we had got resolved quickly. Hotel was also quite clean and modern. Also great animation and activities for kids .

Overall, it is a great place to stay. The location is on a really good spot, easy to find and to have a great view to the sea. We had a room with sea (and pool) view and it was magnificent. The staff was very friendly and polite. The room was spacious enough, very clean, new comfort beds, large TV, quiet AC,.. In the toilet we had everything needed,..The breakfast included variety of food for everyone's taste and the quality of the food was satisfying. Because we were guests during the Easter, the hotel organized Easter lunch which was very generously prepared - plenty of food, various dishes, including roast lamb,.. fantastic

The beach: it is very close, but it's occupied with sunbeds and it is for the guests from the resort located on the beach. I'm not 100% sure of the last thing, but while we were walking along the sea, we were asked to leave "the property" by some local security guard. The hotel balcony: above the left wing of the hotel, there is a balcony on which (during the Easter) there was entertainment show for some french tourists by one (really) annoying guy. We had to keep the door closed, and we were unable to sleep until the show has ended.

Fabulous hotel. Staff were really friendly, great selection of food and hotel was in a great location (bus stop right outside the gate linking to local towns).

Nothing, would highly recommend.

Hotel and staff in general were good, I felt like the vistors were not as friendly, mostly Europeans. Not many people of color so that was a little concerning. Overall the staff was very nice and helpful. The all inclusive was gooe, although the coffee machine was non-functioning pretty much the entire time we were there as well as soda machine. Food could have had more variety.

the food variety could have been a more mixture of items throughout the week.

Fairly reasonable price

The food wasn't goodAll inclusive selection very poorOur room was located just above the entertainment night show, which is not great with kids that want to sleep

Everything was good, good nee modern hotel with nee facilities. Worth its price for sure

I feel we are a bit picky with food as we could not eat a lot what was offered, but it is maybe just us being spoiled.

Very clean and comfortable hotel, tasty food, great animations at the swimming pool.

The hotel spa could provide facilities like sauna and jacuzzi

We really enjoyed our stat, and the all you can eat buffet for breakfast was amazing ! Staff were brilliant!

Do not book rooms with a sea view if you don’t want to sleep after 11 pm. You can hear the DJs speaking through the PA, and the music is blaring. We had to swap rooms to the other side of the hotel, facing the car park, to find some peace! The hotel was generous enough to offer the all-inclusive package with included lunch and dinner to compensate for the difference in price and inconvenience of moving rooms! Also, you’ll need a car or use public transport to get around because there’s not much nearby.oh btw.. lots of mosquito, and bees! yes you will get bitten by mosquitoes!

We needed a hotel for one night to bookend our stay in Corfu and booked the Iolida Corfu while we were on the island. Very happy with our Genius price and savings via Booking.com. The hotel is modern (refurbished?) with good facilities. We had a standard pool view room, which was slightly bigger than the supposedly upgrade option. The room was finished to a high standard with comfortable beds and quiet but effective air conditioning. As the Iolida is situated above the main road we had a nice (partial) sea view). Would recommend asking for a 3rd floor room. We paid a little extra on the room rate for all inclusive and this was worth every penny. We had been averaging out €90-100 per day on lunch, dinner and drinks so allowing for that our stay 'cost' an additional €70 (€170 total). We were able to have lunch ahead of our room being ready and thanks to a late check out had the lunch the following day too. The food is buffet style for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and there's a wide choice of dishes on offer. Based on our experience the Iolida does cater for vegetarians (we're not, but do like the options). AI includes local booze and was fine for us as we're not fussy about branded spirits. The front desk staff were super helpful and accommodating (particularly the late check out). There's a small gym on site with cardio and weight machines (plus free weights).

Didn't really bother us, but worth mentioning that the hotel restaurant is closer to a canteen in style and service. There are staff on hand and there's a live prep station (eggs cooked for you at breakfast for example), but you serve your own drinks and once you have finished eating it's not a room you would want to linger in, sat on hard plastic chairs. The bar is separate and is open throughout the day. We waited quite a long time to be served most of the time and it felt a little understaffed. The hotel has a small team of 'animators' who put on a few games and play music around the pool during the day and then in the bar in the evening. It's a bit cheesy and while they will ask you to get involved, they are not pushy if you're not interested. If you have a pool view room you will hear the evening entertainment from the bar (we were three floors above). AI drinks stop at 11pm and that's generally the signal for any noise to die down. As the hotel offers AI it's possible that some people will just stay there throughout their holiday. That's not a bad thing as Dassia doesn't have much to offer. The beachfront is dominated by a huge hotel complex / 'gated community' (the Iolida is on the other side of the road) and while it's possible to get on the beach it wasn't clear if it was possible to use so much as a sunbed if you weren't a guest there. There are a few shops and restaurants, but there's an equal number of empty / derelict buildings, which would put us off if we were staying in the resort for a week.or more.

Clean and staff were very friendly

Our room facilities. For example we had to request soap for washing hands. I. The Saturday night they had a large group of people on the rooftop on tour and it was very loud as it was close to the room. They went in until 11pm and we had an early start and needed rest.

I really loved my stay here. If I had to point one thing is the staff, everybody is so nice and competent. The pool is really big and has an amazing view over the mountains and sea.

I didn't like the nearby beach, but it's only my personal taste and out of the control of the hotel.

We loved our stay at lolida Corfu, the staff were super friendly and energetic. Food was phenomenal, considering we stayed for 5 nights, the variety and quality were top notch. The stay offered everything we wanted. Even our toddler loved it so much she refused to leave.

The balcony view on the pool and the sea was very good, the staff were very kind, the room was very clean and comfortable, there's basketball field, the pool was very good.

The food could be better i'd rate it 7-8/10
