The Olivar Suites

This won’t be a long review as I have nothing really negative to say about our stay. Lovely hotel, excellent staff. We ate in the restaurant most nights and the food was excellent as was the service, small menu for two weeks would be my only concern if returning. Breakfast is very good. I am by nature hard to please but really can’t fault anything and would recommend without hesitation. Very cheap car hire from a stand 2mins from restaurant. Wonderful bakers 1min from that and a couple of shops which sell everything, a few restaurants and that’s pretty much it. Beach area and bar are lovely. No one bothers you but if you want or need anything it’s with you in a flash. Wonderful two weeks.

Absolutely fantastic facilities with outstanding staff across all aspects of the venue Nothing too much trouble and always engaged with guests Pool, beach and grounds of very high standard Restaurant excellent

We are regular visitors to Corfu, and took the opportunity during a recent trip to take a short break at this 5* hotel - we are so glad that we did ! The Olivar Suites Hotel was totally different to any beachfront property that we have ever stayed at - it's like a private village where you can totally relax and not have to concern yourself about anything, because there are so many people making sure that you are happy and looked after. 'Luxury' is a word sometimes mis-used in the hospitality industry, but it can truthfully be applied to this Hotel. From the moment our taxi pulled up outside Reception, to when we left a few days later, we were treated more like valued friends than clients by everybody we interacted with. The resort only opened last year, and occupies an area which was previously an olive grove - many of the old trees remain, and have been sympathetically incorporated into the complex. As the name suggests, all accomodation is in 'suites'. We stayed in one of the 'Ionian Suites', which gave us direct access to the beach from our own private garden - we didn't even need to get sand between our toes, as we had our own patio, lawn, sun loungers and pool ! Our suite was absolutely wonderful. Comprised of a sitting room, bedroom, two bathrooms, lots of storage space, it was fitted with absolutely everything we needed. Everything was high quality. Housekeeping was to a high standard - the Supervisor introduced herself on our first day, and in addition to daily cleaning, restocking etc, we were also visited each evening to check that everything was OK. Room Service was also excellent - an iPad was provided making it easy for guests to contact all relevant departments, in addition of course to telephones. The Main Bar opens up onto the beach, is beautifullly fitted out, and offers a huge selection of beverages A great place for a relaxing drink ! We also used the small bar in the Reception area - very pleasant, with balcony seating overlooking the complex. We stayed on a 'Half Board' basis, using the Restaurant for Breakfast and Dinner Situated by the large swimming pool, guests can choose whether to sit and eat inside or outside. Breakfast was a very pleasing experience - a combination of table service, with a good choice of dishes on the menu, plus a wide selection of items available from the Buffet. Dinner was fit for a gourmet ! The menu included an extensive selection of cold and hot 'starters', with a varying choice of 'main courses' We have dined in countless restaurants over the years,in many countries, and can say that the standard of presentation, the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the Chefs at The Olivar Suites were at least equal to the best that we have previously enjoyed. 'Bravo' to all involved ! We would like to compliment, and thank, all of the Hotel staff for their hard work and their obvious desire to provide all guests with the highest level of service. My wife and I had a great time at this Hotel, and hope to visit again. Thank.you, Olivar Suites, for the wonderful experience !
