Beautiful location to look out on a natural harbor with green hills and little church across the inlet. Food offering was great with lovely a la carte restaurants that broke up the buffet restaurant visits (but buffet the best we've had at an all inclusive), and plenty of outdoor dining tables at buffet restaurant. Two separate pools (the Preferred rooms have a dedicated third pool). No waterslides or splash park but the boys (3 and 8) did not miss that at all. Staff were great and helpful (including kids club) and any issues sorted out straight away (like a broken coffee machine in room). Family suite with sea view in the main building was really fab for a family of 4 with separate bedroom with door between to lounge area (with comfy beds for the kids). Very big and separate toilet room plus the main bathroom. Watersports from the beach is a separate company but we loved hiring a pedalo and going out into the inlet.

Beach is mainly man made so if you are a true beach person, then this is not great swathes of sand and suggest looking elsewhere. Fine for us as beach loungers plentiful and small slopping shore area for 3 year old to build sandcastles and easily access sea (other sea areas accessed via steps which is fine for older kids and adults). Entertainment was a little ad hoc in the evening but two areas to choose from with different offerings. Kids club starts from 4 years old but staff were happy for me to stay with my 3 year old and get involved in the activities.

The staff

Not enough sunbeds

We were a jewish orthodox family, meaning we only eat kosher. We go to hotels and just eat fruit and veg. This hotel exceeded our expectations. Every single meal, a huge solection of fruits and vegetables. Different types of melon, kiwis,pineapple,banana,nectarines,beutifuly sliced oranges,plums. Tinned peaches, dried fruits and nuts. Amazing! We've never seen anything like it. Thank you so much to all the staff for helping us. It was mom's 50th birthday and every single detail was taken care of. We want to thank all the staff including the bar men and the staff on hand to help us with trip information, concierge, and zumba teacher. Unbelievable! Would absolutely come back. This place has 5☆ because it deserves it.

I actually can't think of anything!!!

The staff are beyond helpful. Kind, welcoming and genuinely happy to see you. Not many hotels in Corfu are truly 5 stars but this hotel actually is. It’s luxurious. The food is nice. The coffee is great and the cocktails are lovely too. Everything is exceptionally clean and you don’t want for anything there.

There are 7 restaurants here, which is fantastic but you have to book by an app. By the time I arrived, all restaurants were booked up fully for my entire stay. Many guests book in advance and do not even attend the booking. This could be solved by having a shorter time period to book restaurants. Say for example the books are open for 48 hours at a time to allow for others the opportunity to book also.

The surroundings are beautiful, the rooms are clean and spacious. The buffet is great. The staff is really nice and kind. 20 minutes from Corfu. The swimming pools ok. The entertainment very good.

The beach is not good. If you are a beach person it does not worth it. Although its location is dreamy, i can nit describe enough how dirty it is inside. Probably it is not the hotels fault but its location-close to marina and number of ships etc. The a la carte restaurants are mediocre the buffet is great.

Big clean Hotel, Great staff and fantastic cocktails. Hotel provides great sea views and comes with 2 decent sized pools. Also has great access to a little sandy private beach which is unlike the rest of the island. We never had trouble getting a sunbed and parasols are provided. The Rooms were nice and big, Air Con was a blessing. Room was always cleaned to a great standard and mini fridge always topped up.

Food wasn't amazing, it was ok but nothing special. Need more staff to keep up with demand. Multiple times, we were waiting ages for our drinks to arrive. Evening entertainment needs improving.

Everything regarding Dreams was 10/10. From the moment we arrived to the leaving the staff/service brilliant, always present and with a smile. The hotel is perfectly situated with an amazing view of the sea whilst also being 20 minutes from Corfu town and also local shops nearby. The food is some of the best we have had on European all inclusive trip with choices from 5 restaurant all serving a different menu. Rooms are clean, spacious and again we had the garden view which looked out to the sea.

Nothing everything was perfect.

The staff was impeccable, many varieties of food: for all tastes, even for babies, drinks were as well included. There are 3 pools, no crowds, one has an incredible view over the Gulf. The resort itself is very quietly, you can hear the birds singing, grass and flowers everywhere, there are even some friendly ducks around. We went in the last week of September with our 16 months son, who seemed to enjoyed there as well, he loved the pool and the kids playground. Overall, I felt like I was in exotic destination.

Nothing

Rooms are clean and large enough. Good panaroma. Close to oldtown and airport.

Sea is not clear. Not good beach. Sun bed cushions are always wet. Should be water proof material. Main restaurant is low ceiling and dark.(not enough sun light) The scale in the room was out of order. Ear cotton is missing at room. Evening entertainment programmes could be better.

We were lucky enough to secure a bungalow overlooking the beach (preferred club). Bungalow was super quiet and extremely comfortable, clean with nightly turn down, daily maid service. The hotel is in a beautiful setting overlooking Gouvia Bay and on the private beach there are water sports such as paddle boarding, pedalow and a great water sking facility from beginner to Pro! NB Water sports are an additional charge. There are 2 pools and a preferred club pool, two private beaches with sunbeds/umbrellas (no charge) and drinks can be ordered from the beach. A walk outside the resort offers shops, bars, restaurants and a 20 min walk to Gouvia marina with more bars etc to choose from. Spa - massages are brilliant, whether it’s a facial or the full works. We had a couples Greek ‘Kafe scrub and massage 105mins and it was awesome, skin felt amazing (have at beginning of your holiday to help prolong your tan) and we felt totally relaxed.

There are a number of steps from the beach to the hotel .. but only an issue if you struggle with mobility. I will say however, the hotel were always willing to assist with a golf buggy if needed.
