Just retured back from the Zafris apartment! We had the best holiday ever!

The apartments were clean and big, we stayed in a one bedroom apartment with a sea view and pool view and we were in the 500 block!

The staff at the hotel were amazing and new our names on the second day george, sprios 1 & 2 we are coming back!

The hotel setting was amazing with views over the sea. make sure you visit the hotel Sunset resturant amazing food and great views. Also the Three little Pig resturant they have great entertainment with daning and fire on the floor not to be missed.

We have just arrived home from the Zafiris Hotel having stayed for 1 week we have had a fantastic time at this hotel.

We had one one bedroom apartment and a Studio both over looking the pool. In both the cupboards did smell a little damp but this was not a problem for us. The shower in the studio could do with a face lift.

We ate in the Hotel on several occasions and could not fault the food or the service in anyway. George and Spiros couldnt do enough for us.

The Sax bar was brill too and after George and Spiros finished they joined us in there for a drink. There was plenty of sunbeds although we think some people were leaving their towels on the beds all night.

Dont miss the Greek Night it is first class entertainment. the Hotel is set back from the road so is quite but the best one in Sidari we could see.

Dont book the trips though First choice as these are very exspensive we went on the greek night which was awful.
We spent two hours on a coach to be squash at a table of 8 people. The food was poor and not as we had been told it would be. We also went on the BBQ Beach trip again we spent 2 hours on the coach several people where sick on the coach. We were then taken to a beach by boat and left there for several hours with nothing to do there were no beach games that we were told there would be. The food was that bad we didnt eat a thing so having missed breakfast and then lunch we were staving.

Best days we had were spent around the Hotel.

Just come back from a 2 week holiday, On arrival to the apartments we were greated by the manager Zafiris who showed us to our apartment which were just up the hill on the right, room 102 by the sax bar. The rooms were clean and bright but had a slight smell about them. The maid cleaned everyday day except sundays and we had had clean towels and bedding every other day. We had a slight problem with the water pressure in the kithen but reported it to Zafiris and the problem was fixed almost instantly.
What ever you do don't buy day trips from the fistchoice rep they are over priced there are a good selection of excursion shops in sidari.
Gemma the rep is a good laugh and on her days of she is quite willing for you to push her into the pool. The pool area is very busy so you need to get up early to reserve your sunbeds as it is open to non residents aswell,all the staff are very friendly and if you need anything you only have to ask nothing is to much trouble for them.

Myself, my husband, my sister and her family and my parents stayed at Zafiris Appts from 17 to 31 July 2006. We all had a wonderful holiday. We could not fault the appartments, they were spacious and clean, and the maids were very friendly. The pool complex was lovely and the pool/bar staff were brilliant. Spiros (George Michael), George, Spiros 2 and all the others guys around the pool were so friendly, they couldn't do enough for you. They don't stop working - they're on the go all day and then again in the Sax bar in the evening and yet they keep on smiling and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. The food at the pool side bar is excellent. The restaurant up on the cliff top is lovely too with beautiful views and a stunning sunset.

The location of these apartments is perfect if you want to be away from the main street and the noise of the bars. You are far enough away but close enough to walk to as well.

The pool is open to the public which can be a bit of a pain as sometimes it can be difficult to get sunbeds around the pool - although it appeared that some of the guests at the appartments were leaving their towels out on the beds overnight which was very annoying. We did mention this to the staff but they said they'd given up asking people not to do it which wasn't really the response we'd hoped for.

The play area by the pool is also very nice and the children enjoyed that. They also enjoyed the play area in the Saxophone Bar - it could however do with a bit of a clean. The Sax Bar was staffed by the pool staff during the evening, again they were always friendly and made you feel welcome. The entertainment there was, well entertaining!!

We'd definitely recommend the Zafiris appts and will hopefully return there again in the future.

After a two hour delay we arrived at the hotel to be greeted by the hotel manager who helped carry our baggage to our room.

The room was clean and had both a sea and pool view. The room were clean everyday except Sunday. The hotel was in general clean and the grounds were kept tidy.

We ate in the hotels restaurants often and the food was lovely even with two fussy teenagers we could find something on the menu to suit.

The staff at the hotel were brilliant and work really hard, nothing is too much trouble for them. The waiters and bar staff were very friendly and always willing to have a laugh with you.

We would recommend this hotel to everyone and hopefully will be returning sometime in the future.

Do not book the Greek night through the rep go to the one at the hotel it is better value for money and more fun. Also stay clear of the grand island tour excursion it

Second time to these apartments,staff very friendly,rooms beginning to become a bit shabby could do with an update but saying this we would deffinately go again.

Lovely location.quite a few stray dogs but this didnt bother us. Not much for the kids to do in the resort itself. Loads of very good restaurants very reasonable prices.

Weather was fantastic.

We travelled with first choice on 2 june to 9 june. This is probably the best time to go, relatively quiet, easy to get a sunbed etc. The staff were telling us, in july time you are lucky to get a sunbed after 7.30am as it is so busy, so be warned!

Zafiris Apartments is a fantastic place to go for a holiday, the whole experience was brilliant and we will definetly go back. We were a group of 4 (2 couples)

The complex itself was well maintained and extremely clean. The staff are all amazing, Zafiris, the manager, was extremely helpful, always making sure everything was to our liking. George and Spiros, the pool bar/restuarant staff were especially good. taught us some greek, constantly fussing over us and making us laugh, nothing was too much trouble, they really seemed to enjoy running around helping everyone.

The kahlua (pool side restaurant) is the best food in town, dont bother leaving the complex!! Seriously, in the week we were there, we tried outside food 3 times, each time it was rubbish! We either had to wait an hour for food to come or the food was cold or it just wanst value for money! The complex's own food is great portions and great prices with always something good on the specials! I recommend the Swordfish! Plus you get george and spiros fussing over you again!

The saxafone bar, owned by the apartments, was a good place for drinks and entertainment also, again clean and everyone is so helpful.

After reading the review by Taylor before we went I was rather sceptical after reading so many brilliant reviews, but after being I must admit some of them were true.

Our transfer to the hotel was just over an hour and we were met at the bottom by the Saxophone bar with the mini bus to take us up the little hill to the apartments. We stayed in room 402 and we didn't find as cold as Taylor (perhaps it helps being a little later in the season) and there was spare blankets and extra pillows in the wardrobe.

On arriving in the room we were disappointed as from the brochure and the reviews we were led to believe they were fantastic. The bathroom was the worst. the plinth at the bottom of the big washbasin style wooden unit was completely rotten, there was a large rusty metal sheet covering up some pipes where the tiles had been removed, a couple of floor tiles had been removed but not fixed back down and the mirror was filthy. There was also a horrible musty smell in the apartment like it needed a good dose of fresh air that was much worse inside the cupboards and wardrobes. After dumping out stuff we went to the pool bar and saw Zafiris (the owner's son and also the manager although we didn't know it at the time). We told him our complaints and he made out like we were the only people ever to have complained about anything and offered to move us. The same happened when we brought it up with the receptionist and the rep. In the end the rusty metal sheet was replaced with a wooden one and a new mirror was put up but the floor tiles were never fixed (not a real problem for us but not good if you had young children). The bathroom was liveable with we were mainly just disappointed because we had been led to believe it was so fantastic. However, it did not spoil our holiday and at least they did make an effort to rectify the problems! The only thing that really did concern me was the way we were made to feel we were the only ones who had ever complained, yet when we handed in the questionnaire at the end of the holiday i decided to be noisy and had a quick peek at someone else

Zafiris apts Sidari Corfu,Have been visiting there now for at least 12 years, Costas , Zafiris and staff are wonderful, cannot do enough for you.

The new aptartments are excellent, TV channels are rubbish though, .Have been on first name terms since the beginning, dont know how they remember everyones names.

The food is wonderful, I admire the staff cooking all day in that heat.I would say some of the older apts are in need of upgrading,but these guys work all year round and do most of the repairs themselves and have families to look after.

Wonderful location, views are spectacular as the sun goes down, keep up the good work guys, will be back.

The cleanliness is fantastic and the cleaning staff are very friendly.

The guys, Zafiris, spyros"george micheal look alike", spiros, nik, demitris, and of course george. were all absolutely fantastic, treated you like royalty nothing was to much hassle for them. Dawn on reception was friendly and helpful and lenka at the kids club was fantastic with the kids.

Entertainment at night was enjoyable, we drank in the saxaphone bar every night, We returned at 5.30am and were at the travell agents to book for next year by 11am that day.

I would recomend these apartments to anyone looking for a fantastic holiday.
