The hotel was "fine" but nothing more - it doesn't really deliver on the marketing hype, and for the price we paid it was a disappointment. We have had much better holidays for the same price elsewhere. I booked Domes of Corfu off the back of hearing good reports about the Domes of Elounda in Crete - but sadly this was nothing like what I had heard, and has probably put me off booking this chain for good. So what was wrong - well...nothing "really major"; but the hotel was just not performing at the same level as its peers for this price point. Our adjoining rooms were fine, but quite small and really lacking in storage space. The "main pool" and "kids pool" are OK, but not that great for young kids (the "kids pool" is really just a big square bath, which by the way has 90 degree ledges so you have to supervise very carefully...). The food at the buffet was very "so-so" - not very exciting, I don't remember a single dish that really stood out; it sometimes felt they had gone for the cheapest generic ingredients they could find (the feta cheese was completely tasteless, and the peanut butter was very sugary - why bother shaving a few cents on this stuff...?) - I ate quite lightly the entire time we were there because, frankly, it wasn't worth it. The Italian restaurant was a little better, and the "fancy" restaurant in the main courtyard was actually quite nice, but generally the food offering was disappointing A few members of staff were very friendly and helpful (especially Yiannis in the sunset bar), but generally the service was a bit lacklustre - there seemed to be no real routine and we struggled at every mealtime / drink time with some aspect of the interaction (nearly every time a dish or drink would be missing, or the bill would be wrong - I mean, every time - it was exhausting...); management were not very visible, unless they were themselves sitting eating in the restaurant at lunchtime (which is just weird in this sort of hotel) - I didn't get the impression most of the staff were very happy or were really bothered about their jobs. The Kids Club was a little better - the staff were very friendly and the kids seemed to have a good time. However, despite trying to book in advance, availability was not great: no Kids Club at all on a Sunday, and we only managed to get half days (i.e. 3 hours) on several days, which is not a problem I have had with any other hotel at this level; unfortunately, the rest of the hotel facilities are also not great for keeping kids entertained; the beach is very busy, and the kids pool is small and doesn't hold their attention long. I would not come back for a family holiday; there are much better resorts at the same price point. The website mentions "playing tennis" - granted, it doesn't actually specify that the hotel has a tennis court; the tennis court showing on Google Maps is now a car park, and if you ask the concierge about tennis you are informed that courts can be booked in Corfu town (30 minu
