Ekati Mare Lifestyle Resort

Just to get one thing clear. I love the Greeks. I love the Greek islands. But our recent experience of Ekati Mare resort in Corfu sadly let's down the usually excellent experiences we have had in the past whilst holidaying in Greece. We arrived at 01:30hrs at the resort only to be shown to a annexed area away from the main hotel. Our room was basic, but acceptable, and then our son (22 yrs of age) points out the aircon was not working. We alerted staff member at the desk who did come immediately and tried the aircon- No. Not working. Batteries changed, still not working! I emphasised that aircon was pretty much needed, and if they could not fix the problem, a change of room may be needed. Staff said they will check it out in the morning. No aircon until the middle of the week when it was eventually fixed after countless reminders to staff that they needed to address it! Any suggestion of a room change was conveniently ignored by all staff we spoke to to the point someone admitted that they had no other rooms available. It was clear to us very quickly that despite polite staff the resort was badly managed. Either issues were ignored or the communication was very bad. Talking to other guests at the resort it appears the main consensus was disappointment. The aircon issue was quite common. Then there is the matter of the bar service. Very slow and inexperienced staff placed behind the bar. The alcohol was fairly pricey and not of a great quality. The pump for a nice pint was often not working, and when it did it was warm and low-grade. Just to add, they did not serve Mythos, my one favourite beer not just in Greece but the world in my opinion. Small bottles of blue/red or green Corfu beer was all that was really available. The staff always tried to serve drinks with a smile to their credit. The pool was nice, but sunbeds were limited. My wife noticed that she was being bitten especially when in our room. When it got to a point when my wife could not bear it any longer, she emotionally expressed that there must of been a problem with the bed. We believe it was flea ridden, so most nights felt a little bit uncomfortable. To get anything done my wife demanded they deep clean the room. This they did after be had to become a bit more assertive (we hate complaining, so we are not serial complainers!) they cleaned the room to a good standard but it certainly was not deep cleaned. By the way, we could not fault the general cleaning of the room, so tipped them well when we departed. Any further suggestions to change rooms were met by a deafening, awkward silence by staff. Almost as if they were briefed NOT to accommodate room changes under any circumstances! We gave up trying in the end. They breakfast food was just ok- but the beans tended to be not very hot, but there was variety. The evening meal was better, but there was room for improvement. As though getting guests money was paramount to any other concerns, drinks bought at mealtimes was followed b

I had an amazing stay at Ekati – everything about this hotel is top-notch! The facilities are beautifully maintained, modern, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cleanliness throughout the entire hotel was outstanding, and every space felt fresh and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious with a great variety, and the drinks were just as impressive. Most of all, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. Can’t wait to go back!

We stayed at the Wellness Resort early May. We had a lovely relaxing time. Booked with Tui and it went well. The rooms were spacious, we were in the Annexe across the road so it was quieter which we had chosen. The beds were so comfortable, the best we have had and we have stayed at lots of hotels. The food was plentiful and lots of options, even for vegetarians. The pool bar was good and served good lunches and were reasonably priced. We found the hotel staff extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was just like the photos, we never used the gym or spa. The animation team were very good and there were various events during the day and evening. They were full of enthusiasm and had lots of energy. The resort was quiet as just starting to open up but this never bothered us. Would come again at this time of year as not too hot.

Sara and Kim were incredible entertainers for the week providing lots of activities during the day and evening making everyone was having a good time and a laugh and enjoy the activities brilliant hotel and brilliant staff close to the beach and local restaurants

The room, staff and overall design were great. It’s great value. However the advertising as a calm retreat was far from truthful. Pop music by the pool (and near many rooms) is so loud you cannot listen to a podcast/book, the pool bar is full of people drinking from 10am, and there is lots of loud organised entertainment at the pool in the day. Given people were drinking all day, by the time of the buffet dinner the mood was chaotic and the food is English focused. It’s all friendly, I get it’s Kavos, and I didn’t mind too much it for the one night I was there (although the dinner was so chaotic I just left as quickly as possible) but not at all as advertised. I think they could change how it’s advertised to a good lively hotel with sophisticated design.

Had a great experience staying in Ekati Mare lifestyle resort. The staffs services are excellent throughout and they are very attentive.the rooms have been comfortable to stay, breakfast was also very good, I highly recommend this hotel for someone who wants to relax and enjoy.
