This was our first visit to this Hotel however it will not be our last.
The cleanliness of the Hotel is outstanding as is the politeness and helpfulness of the staff.
The location of the sandy cove next to the Hotel is absolutely perfect for small children. The pool area is spotlessly clean and there was always a lifeguard on duty, which was very reassuring.
The variety of food was extensive and the provision of unlimited drinks, crisps, ice-cream and ice lollies for the children (all included in your half board costs) is an excellent idea and saves parents an immense amount of money.
The only drawback is perhaps the distance of the Hotel from the airport (approx 1hr 45 mins) but on arrival at the Hotel it is worth that little extra travelling.

This hotel is very good.
The staff are helpful and courteous.
The hotel is spotless clean and the rooms, whilst not palatial, are adequate and comfortable.
The food is very good; the standards in some Spanish hotels leaves a lot to be desired but at the Skorpios hotel, they are really trying to please their customers. There is lots of variety and plenty of food. They do not skimp. You can have as much or as little as you wish.
The entertainment staff are very enthusiastic and lively but sometimes a bit OTT. Some of the time we didn't stop but went for a little walk instead. And that is the only drawback with this place.
Cala Egos is a small cove near to Cala d'or but there is no seafront or promenade as such because the hotel is right on the rocky headland and the sea views are lovely. So, in the evening after dinner, there is not very many places to walk to except the terrace or up into the village to one of the pubs.
There are three supermarkets in Cala Egos, a tobacco shop, a couple of car rental places and two perfume shops. There are also a few cafes and restaurants.
The pub called 'Rumours' is a British pub and the sandwiches there are very good and only cost two euros.
There isn't a great deal more to say apart from we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful place with a very good hotel. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to 'get away from it all' for a little while.
There is also the little 'road train' that will take you on a round trip for three euros (return). You can get off and on again at any of the stops. It runs hourly and stops in front of the hotel and is very handy if you wish to go into Cala d'or itself.

Being my first time abroad I didnt know what to expect but can honestly say this is the best holiday I have had in all my life.
Food:amazing - staff:lovely ,kind, polite.
Entertanment:not top notch but still very enjoyable
the cleaners I cannot praise enough.
My son who was only a baby at the time really did not take to the milk or food over there and was ill numerous times. Yet when asked if they could clean up after him the cleaners were more than happy to oblige....and were always smiling whilst doing it.

The hotel is spotless, the food great, the location is great. The hotel staff were very friendly, and would do anything for you. The entertainment was not bad, but we prefered to go out anyway.

Very enjoyable stay, the hotel is more like a 4*. The air conditioning and fridge as standard in the rooms were very welcome. The only downside to the room was the usual hotel 'thin' walls syndrome - we could clearly hear the guy next door snoring !!
The buffet style breakfast and evening meal were excellent, plenty of choice and plenty of it.
The hotel staff were always pleasant and helpful and there was always someone cleaning something !
The view from our room looked out over the cove and the beach is at the bottom of the hotel steps. The sea was very clear - bring your snorkel gear with you.
The rep entertainment was very poor (maybe they are getting bored with the same routine towards the end of the season), although other 'imported' entertainment was of much higher quality.
The only other problem was an awful smell coming from the drains on the approach road to the hotel - a minor detail if could hold your nose long enough !
I would defintely recommend this hotel and would defintely stay again.

This was our first time at the Skorpios, but it will not be our last. The hotel is spotless, the staff were very friendly and the food was first class and plenty of it.
The hotel is right on the beach and there is plenty of room. The only downside was the smelly drains on the street but this is not the fault of the hotel.

I had booked this holiday last minute and was unsure of what to expect, especially as I couldn't find it in any brochures. I am pleased to say I could not have found a better hotel if I'd tried. The Corfu is immaculate with daily cleaning, change of towels and you see the cleaning staff throughout the day cleaning corridors, pool area, and the beach.
The food was of a good standard, plenty of choice and a great buffet section with all the kids favourites, full english breakfast available daily (and if you want to be good there's loads of fresh fruits and cereals) expect to put on some weight!!
The hotel staff were very friendly and the entertainment staff were excellent, they kept the kids on the go throughout the day with games, competitions and the nightly mini disco, God knows where they got the energy!! There are two small play areas for children, one for younger children and another for the older kids.
I definately intend to make a return visit to the Corfu or its sister hotel the Skorpios.

We had a fabulous holiday, one of our best ever. The location is wonderfull being at the side of the little beach and cove of Cala Egos, a very safe and pleasant situation. Don't miss the chance to snorkel and hand feed with bread the hundreds of fish out in the cove (a really amazing experience)
The rooms and indoor public areas are very clean,well decorated and furnished, the pool area is also very well kept although the pool area being shared between two hotels gets crowded (we were there in peak season)
However a second pool is now discreetly under construction.
One small downpoint for us (because we liked to sit and have a drink here) was that the floors of the two terraces by the hotel were stained in places with spilt drinks and although swept at least once every day, they were never washed whilst we were there.
The kids were staying on an all inclusive basis, they had a whale of a time with this, it also saved us a fortune.
The variety and standard of food was excellent, full english breakfast every morning and a wide choice for evening meal to suit everyone.
The staff were always friendly and helpfull and had the patience of saints with the kids, the two guys working in the main hotel bar quickly learned all the kids names and looked after them well.
If you are looking for a safe, high standard, value for money family holiday you will find it here.
Just one last point, the beach side of the hotel has a wonderfull view, the other side looks onto the back of holiday apartments and there could be a slight smell of drains at times when walking along the road.
I wish there was more space for me to write here as I could sing the praises of this hotel for a lot longer.
My wife and kids are urging me to book to go here again for 2005. I am very tempted but it is a big world out there.

Sorry I forgot to mention this, The brochure claims that the Hotel Skorpios is a 3 star hotel.
Come on, be honest...............
4 star would be a fairer description, it is better than almost all the 4 star hotels we have stayed in.
