This hotel is set in a beautiful location as it overlooks a peaceful bay.However care should be taken when swimming as a local chap told as that there is a sewer outlet that discharges directly into the bay !
The appartments were very disappointing for 4 * accommodation. The desperatly needed a makeover and the furnishings needed replacing. There was no entertainment as such only bits and pieces that the Thomson reps put on. what makes up for all of this is the warm welcome you receive from the people. The hotel staff we met were great as were the people who run Daphne's the nearest local restaurant. We would recommend hiring a car as there are fantastic beaches and places to see on the island.

We really enjoyed our stay in Gouvino Bay Appartments, the rooms are very spacious and clean with a fantastic view of the bay. Nice and quiet set in lovely gardens and airconditioning to cool you down after a day around the pool.All staff were very friendly and helpful and the maid service was excellent. Location very good within 10 minutes of Gouvia. Poolside bar food was very nice and we recommend the feta cheese bake. We recommend a visit to Daphnes next door, a lovely family owened restaurant and bar we had breakfast there every morning and always had our late night drink there before we staggered home. (Say hello to Daphne, Victor, Dimitris, Claudia and Tony for us). We were first drop off from Airport, Corfu town 20 mins on Bus, Aqua park close by (must for everyone).

A very pleasant and well-run location with very clean rooms, and excellent shop a good pool and absolutely no flies or mosquitos! - however a few points are worth noting.
1) The restaurant is on a very busy main road and is noisy, although the standard of food is reasonable.
2) The "beach" is quite poor and hardly anyone swims in the sea since it is a seaweed-strewn inlet and the water is very murky. Nice for fishing though!
3) Many of the rooms have quite steep wooden stairs to the bedroom area which is in fact a gallery. This sould be dangerous to old people or young children. These flats (on the first floor)do not have a balcony and get very hot in summer. The ground floor flats are better. There are no smoke alarms fitted in the flats, although there are fire extinguishers.
4) Although the pool has "no diving" signs these are all ignored and not enforced so at times it is almost impossible to enjoy a quiet swim without kids jumping and diving in continually. Since the pool is not that big or deep this can be a problem.

Family holiday with two children, aged 10 and 8, between 10th and 17th June 2002. Absolutely perfect ! Nice apartments, seems like being in a small village setting. Nice pool area & snack / drinks bar overlooking the bay.
Excellent staff both at reception and the pool area. Very, very friendly. Outstanding waitress/bar manager by the pool speaks superb English and is a delight !
The beach is very small, but the setting is superb. Gouvia is also very friendly with some nice restaurants very reasonably priced.
Only slight criticism is that sun loungers are "locked", until around 10.15am, when a very slow pool attendant eventually decides to release them. (At least there's no fight with the Germans at 6.45am though !!)
We would definitely return, the sooner the better.
