This accommodation has certainly exceeded our expectations.
The staff were absolutely fantastic! Very friendly and accommodating.
The only problem we had was the awful smell coming back up from a sewage vent on the floor in our bathroom which seems to come up at certain times of the day.
I would definitely recommend these apartments to families or for group bookings as there's plenty of space to run about.

Lovely spacious apartments, set in beautiful grounds and very well maintained throughout. Maid service 6 days a week and cleaned thoroughly every day. Even the wiping up was done! Towels and sheets were changed almost every day - you often don't even get this with 4*. The mezzanine level in the apartment was delightful.
The only downside of these apartments was no balcony on the first level apartment, but the ground floors did have a patio with furniture etc.
There were always plenty of loungers and a choice of where to sunbath, beach, pool or on the large grass area.

The apartments where dirty and smelt the maid would come in and empty the bins when thye felt like it under the beds was broken glass the information you where given about the complex was dated 2001.
You had basic kitchen equipment not even a wooden spoon the fridge was rusty inside and out and the oven was full of greece There where ants everywhere thanks to the maids when they did come in by opening the windows the beds where badly stained and damp.
I have stayed in Corfu for many years and this was the worst place we have stayed it is surpose to be a three star I would only rate it 1 star

Apartments spacious bedroom upstairs in lounge with 2 double rooms downstairs, also 2 bathrooms which were handy.
The maid we had couldn't do enough for you with ample towels and bed linen and cleaned every day but Sunday.
Rooms were a bit dated but they were only used to sleep in and the odd cup of tea and sandwiches etc.
No entertainment but who wants to sit around the apartment all night? Plenty of bars and restaurants just a 5 to 10 minute walk from the apartments Daphne's outside the apartments turn right just near the leather shop do lovely breakfasts and meals snacks etc.
Reason I wouldn't return is that I don't do same place twice as there are so many other places to visit.

The apartments are set in lush green gardens which are very well maintained and are only about 5 minutes walk from thre main part of Gouvia which has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.
The maids clean the apartments six days a week and change the towels every other day and the bedding regularly. The staff at the complex are extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. One point worth noting is that Lilo's are not allowed in the main pool.
Also worth mentioning is Daphne's which is a restaurant/snack bar next to the complex. This has been running for over 30 years by Daphne herself . She is helped by her son Dimitri and his wife Claudia. Their full english breakfast is very nice and all their food is good value. Other good eating places are Moukas and Melinas.
We enjoyed our holiday very much and would definately return to Govino Bay apartments.

Govino Bay Apartments were set in beautiful green gardens which were maintained every day with pride by the staff.
Our apartment was very clean, spacious and pleasantly decorated, we choose an apartment with an upstairs which our kids thought was great, if you have toddlers you need not to worry as stair gates are fitted.
The complex over looks a beautiful bay.
The swimming pool was suitable for all ages, and going in May we had no problems with lilo's, but I would imagine in peak season this could become a problem and that's most likely when there no allowed.
All the staff were helpful, friendly and worked very hard to make you holiday enjoyable.
There was no entertainment by reps, but we made our own most nights.
The kids enjoyed Kids Zone, Thompson's holiday guests only. Julie and Lizzie were fantastic and the kids enjoyed every club they went to, always loads for them to do, the special themed nights were great, and gave us time to eat in peace, kids free zone!

The children loved the pool and the views around the bay are beautiful.
It is only a short walk into the centre, approx 10 mins. You have a choice of bars and restaurants, plenty for such a compact resort.
We all would visit again soon.

The hotel was very clean and spacious, we had a lovely veiw of the cove. The cleaners cleaned the room every day exept on sundays and did the job very well they made all the beds and cleaned the sheets every other day and towels.
The bar staff at the pool bar was very friendly and helpfull.
The swiming pool in the hotel is very clean and quite big enough for all all the guests the only thing that it lacks is the fact the children could not use the lilos or balls as the pool attendant would not allow it but she goes of duty at 5.30 and the weather is good until about 6.30 in the evening.
The complex lacks entertainment and as we went with children there is no childrens club with first choice.

We first stayed here in 1999, had a real good time.
You often wonder how much 'Rosieness' tme adds to memories, well this particular Island, Corfu, the location, Gouvia and the Govino Bay Apartments lived up expectations..and more.
It had'nt changed one bit and that really is a plus.
Practically the same staff at the apartments, in particular Leera[?], the lady who looked after our apartment, the people in the little supermarket, honest, friendly and helpful and the master craftsman in the leather shop who actually made two leather belts to my own design in less than a day, these belts really will last a lifetime too!.
The Greek people on Corfu are honorable, honest and friendly [with the possible exception of the bar 'down in the corner'in Gouvia offering 'real' Greek dancing and 'real' Greek food who, if you pay by travellers cheque [GBP] take it at par!?, seeming not to understand currency conversation rates...be careful.
One other problem is your holiday insurance, unless you have a 'GOLD' policy you'll have to pay the first 70 Euro's [
