Tilemachos Hotel - Dassia - Corfu

We stayed at the Tilemachos Hotel on an All-Inclusive basis, the choice of food at meal times was not extensive, but the food that was available was absolutely delicious. The desserts were a bit boring, mostly fruit based, but considering the price we payed, non of us could complain!

The scottish chef was lovely, & always asked us what we thought of his dishes, & was open to suggestions & comments. The hotel is at the top of a very steep hill, definately a no-no for elderley or disabled people, but my friends & I often walked down into Dassia in our comfy flip flops, & then swapped these for our dancing shoes at the bottom of the hill, & left our flip flops in the bushes till we were trekking back up the hill after our night out!

The German lady who checked us in was lovely, extremely helpful & always wore a smile. Some of the other staff were less affable, but considering the long hours they work, we understood why they may sometimes come across as not very interested! The Greek dancers were fabulous, Gilbert’s music quiz was like something from Phoenix Nights, the karaoke was good fun, but the highlight of the entertainment had to be a Greek man with a keyboard who had a decent singing voice but sang like a cheap cd that you find playing whilst you wander round your local supermarket. Entertaining nonetheless, especially his rendition of UB40’s Kingston Town, we certainly had lots to smile about that night.

The only down side was that the All-Inclusive bar shut dead on 9. 30 pm, you couldn’t get more than two drinks per person, & as the bar was simply a small window with one man serving, queues quickly built up. The hotel was lovely & clean, we were in the new section, which was very well presented, we did see a room from the older section, these were of a similar standard but minus air-con. All in all, for what we paid for a week in the sun, we were more than happy although we all agreed it could be better (there was a massive bar near the dining area that wasnt utilized very well). We had all been to a lot worse places in the past!

Please go there with an open mind, you may be pleasantly surprised!
