Beautiful Setting, But Domes of Corfu Falls Short for Families with Older Children
The Domes of Corfu is a stunning hotel set in an ideal beachfront location, but its focus on families with very young children makes it a less appealing option for families like mine with older kids. Here’s my honest take:
Highlights:
• Stunning design: The architecture and overall design are truly impressive.
• Beautiful rooms: Stylish and comfortable, great for relaxing.
• Friendly staff: Welcoming and attentive throughout the stay.
• Lovely beach: Warm, clear waters in front of the hotel with Blue Flag certification—a definite plus.
Areas for Improvement:
• Repetitive food: Breakfasts were monotonous, and we found ourselves heading elsewhere in the evening for more variety.
• Small, untidy bathrooms: Cramped for two people and in need of better cleaning, with limescale and grime.
• Limited storage: A couple of drawers and a small IKEA-style wardrobe made it difficult to unpack properly.
• Noise disturbances: A nearby beach club blasts music from 6 pm, and early morning noise starts around 7:30 am, making relaxation difficult.
• Unclean sunbeds: Visible stains and wear made the sunbeds unappealing.
• Crowded beach: By midday, the beach was overrun with umbrellas and Bedouin-style tents, making it feel cramped.
• Family-centric atmosphere: The resort was teeming with young children, which felt overwhelming for those with older kids like my 13-year-old son.
• Housekeeping issue
