The Sea Gardens are located at the end of the beach road. on the southernmost tip of Kavos (Aspro Kavos), which was a godsend as it meant quiet! away from the town.

The room was small with 2 floors, with a decent patio/balcony. It was adequately furnished, and cleaned daily. However, the sheets weren't changed during our week stay, and the towels changed once. This isn't right, and if it had been warmer weather, this could have been a big problem.

There is very poor drainage, and the shower often backed up and flooded the floor. The drainage system is shared with the sewer system, but again we managed to avoid any serious problems.

The hotel suffered 4 2-3hr long v. heavy thunderstorms, which knocked out the towns power intermittently, on one occasion for 7 hrs. The whole town was affected, but most other hotels have generators, but not the Sea Gardens. This meant no water, hot or cold, no cooking facilities, and no food at the hotel. They really ought to address this, as it appears common speaking to staff.

The staff were friendly, the entertainment poor in the day, and only slightly better at night.

The poolside bar food is of limited quality/selection, however the breakfast, til 1230, is good value. Don't get stung elsewhere, as for e4, it's ok, whereas the other places slip in extras like coffee, tea which appear included on the menu, and end up costing more than breakfast!

It was a good place to stay, with a reasonable set price meal each night in the a la carte, around e7.

The pool area was clean, caught the sun all day, and had steps to the beach. There is an expensive watersports area 50yds away, everything e35 for 15mins.

If you fancy a walk, follow the signs for the monastery, or Arcoulidas beach and enjoy 3-4miles of pleasant countryside(excellent for a run). Arcoulidas contains the only snorkelling quality water, at its western tip, all other areas are silty, and you can't see the bottom in 12" of water.

All in all, very good. It seems to attract a good crowd, of well-behaved, and pleasant guests, unlike Kavos Town!!

We booked as a late deal and only knew we were staying in Kavos.

The sea gardens staff were friendly and helpful,but did mow the grass early in the morning annoying when your trying to sleep!Also our room was opposite reception so all the noise from coaches could be heard!

The pool area was lovely although no mats on sunbeds so very uncomfortable,but lots of sun umbrellas,the pool bar provided snacks and drinks but a little on the pricey side.

The maids cleaned 6 days a week although the towels were only changed once, not enough!The kitchen was small but adequate and included a microwave.The sea gardens also provided free safety deposit boxes,and air conditioning at a cost.

Beware of the mosquitoes they were all over our room.It can be noisy with the drunks on their return in the early hours.Late flight back cost 30e to keep room on scandalous!!!

Entertainment was average,ok for families but not really our taste.

When we got to kavos, me and my friend were at another hotel. My other four mates were at sea gardens. we didnt like our hotel so we got changed to sea gardens, it was the best move for us because everything about the hotel was good, the staff were so helpful and it was so clean. The pool's were so much better aswell. And our rep's made it even better for us....

The only down fall about this hotel was that we were visited by cockroaches. We aleterted reception straight away and give them their due, they were round to our apartment in no time with can of insect killer.

We then had to make sure we sprayed our room before we went out everynight.

Also, we had a blockage in the drainage system and the whole black was flooded. Again, this was handled quickly and effeciantly by the hotel staff.

Even though this review doesn't sound brilliant, I would definiately stay at Corfu Sea Gardens again.

They are the only two things that I can moan about. Other then that, I loved every minute of it.

Corfu Sea Gardens-Apartment for up to 6 people on two floors. Three toilets ! 1 shower.

Hotel was very clean with maid service 6 days per week, they even cleaned the balcony hand rails.

Location was perfect, right on the beach. Great pool for adults and another for small children.

Staff were friendly and helpfull.

Entertainment was great for the kids 8am to 3pm lots of things to do from beach bowls to water polo, entertainment team worked really hard. Standard of evening entertainment was comparable to a social club act on a quiet weekday, in a quiet town, when its raining.

We stayed at Corfu Sea Gardens in Asprokavos, it was perfect, only a short walk from all the pubs/clubs but out of the way when you needed it.

After a scary transfer we arrived at 1.30am and were pleasantly surprised by our 2 storey appartment.

All the staff were excellent. Spiros was a knockout and was always smiling and friendly, but a special mention to Roula. She made the holiday, always smiling giving me hugs n kisses, miss her so much. Big shout out to Pete, Natalie, Hayley and Amie they made my holiday can't wait to see them again and especially our mint rep Lawrie star gal for putting up with the coach driver.

All in all the place was to die for.

Booking again and going back in August.

Returned from the Sea Gardens last week after dreading going. Had good timed flights so didn't have to witness Kavos in the middle of the night as some had. We had to change rooms on our arrival as the first one had the smallest kitchen area I've ever seen. Laurie the rep sorted it out within 10 minutes which was great, then got one just near to the pool.

Nice and spacious but would have been better with some kind of sitting area. Maids came and cleaned daily but only got towels changed once in the week and with kids you need more than that. The only problem we encountered were beetles in the room at night, so left the lights on to ward them off.

The beach was very disappointing and the one round the corner wasn't much better with what appeared to be an open sewer running through it. The entertainment staff, Paul, Natalie and Hayley were great, they couldn't do enough for the kids in the day and worked hard with their shows at night, just a shame there weren't many people there to appreciate it, probably something to do with the bar prices, 7 Euros, 40 for 2 pints !! Eventually got the manager to put on an extra happy hour, 11-12pm as well as the 3-4 and 7-8 ones. The bar staff were very friendly,

Spiros couldn't be more fun I believe he is now charging 10 Euros for a photo now he's famous on the web!!! Aimee was great as well, hope you've recovered from your 21st Birthday!

We stayed in a 2 bedroomed appartment which was very spacious. The kitchen area was a little dissappointing,but the location was great for the kids as there was plenty of room for them to run about and play outside the appartment.

The maids cleaned every day appart from sunday so this was fine. linen only got changed once a week which was not enough with 3 children, had to go and ask for clean towels at reception a few times and the staff there were only too happy to help.

The food in the hotel restourant was excellent and they did some really good deals on set menu`s 8 euro`s for a 3 course meal and 3 euro`s for kids meal which included dink and icecream.The only problem were the prices of drinks at the bars very expensive.

All the staff were excellent especially Spyros, my 3 year old took a real shine to him. The entertainment staff(natalie, Hayley amd Paul) were the best ever with the kids.

We spent the last week of the season at the Corfu Sea Gardens and loved the location by the sea, the size and cleanliness of the room and friendliness of the staff. The room was very basic and the kitchen area was not well equipped, infact we had an infestation of ants whilst we were there. The reception ensured the maid dealt with them quickly. There was pleanty of room for some soft seating in the apartment, which was large, and it would have been nice to have them in the cooler evenings. The balcony was large and we were lucky enough to get one with a view of the pool and the sea. The 3+ star rating appears to be a bit high in my opinion.

The food was reasonable but a cheaper meal of better quality could be obtained in Kavos. The bar staff were very friendly and I can recommend the Happy Hour cocktails.

For us there was too much entertainement in the evenings that was very loud and went on for too long. Most of the team had left and those remaining seemed to have a limted range of songs etc.

For an end of season break this was a fine place to stay. However, I would not choose it for my main Summer holiday as it was not really to our taste.

Visited the last week of the season.

The apartments were a good size and clean, pool great.

Kids entertainment not good 3 nights in a row no kids disco.

Supposed to be self catering but nothing in shop to cater with!

Half of the entertainment team went home before we did so evening entertainment very limited.

So my advice is make sure you visit in peak season
