✅ Top 3 pros

Prime location near Corfu Town

Only a few kilometres from the historic centre – ideal for culture, shopping and sampling local meze. Beach days can be effortlessly combined with spontaneous outings.

Excellent Premium All Inclusive dining

Four restaurants – from buffet to Japanese and Italian – provide plenty of variety; booking themed evenings makes the experience even more memorable.

Cleanliness & Service

Very well-maintained rooms and surroundings, plus a friendly, attentive team – regularly praised by guests and evident throughout your stay.

❌ 3 cons to be aware of

The beach varies by season

Depending on the winds, some seagrass may wash up. The hotel cleans frequently, but for those after powdery natural beaches, a short excursion to a nearby bay is recommended.

Popular à la carte restaurants

Themed restaurants are in high demand; spontaneous tables in the evening can’t always be guaranteed. Tip: Reserve your table early in your stay.

Certain extras cost extra

The safe, spa and late check-out come with a charge – fairly standard on Greek islands, but worth factoring into your holiday budget.

Overview & Hotel Highlights

Kerkyra Blue Hotel N’ Spa on Corfu masterfully blends an outstanding Alykes Potamou location with a refined five-star, Premium All Inclusive concept. Set within 95 hectares of beautifully manicured gardens, boasting its own stretch of beach and two generous outdoor pools, this resort is equally ideal for couples and families. Cleanliness, heartfelt service and a culinary choice of four restaurants take centre stage. The UNESCO-protected old town of Corfu is just minutes away, so you can easily mix lazy beach days with cultural sightseeing.

First Impressions: Modern Ease on the Ionian Sea

The hotel features a stylish and contemporary look thanks to recent renovations – think open, light-filled spaces, organic tones and crisp lines for a calming, upmarket holiday vibe. Strolling along neat pathways will take you through gardens down to the 100-metre private stretch of beach, with cabanas, parasols and loungers ready for you. Prefer the pool? You’ll find plenty of space at both large pools, plus a special area for children. With Corfu Town so close, a spontaneous wander through its UNESCO-listed alleyways fits perfectly between sunbathing sessions.

Cleanliness & Care: Spotless in Every Detail

Rooms, restaurants and the pool areas are exceptionally well-kept. Guests frequently praise housekeeping standards and the tidy outdoor surroundings. Pool and beach towels are provided and changed regularly; communal areas remain fresh and immaculate. Occasionally, high season weather can cause minor interruptions outdoors, but the team responds swiftly. In short, standards of cleanliness and care are consistently high.

Value: Premium All Inclusive with Meaningful Advantages

Expect generous All Inclusive benefits – from lavish buffets and snacks to a wide choice of beverages throughout the day. You can also enjoy one dinner in each of the à la carte themed restaurants (with advance table booking), adding welcome variety. Extras like safety deposit box, spa treatments and late check-out are charged separately (as is common in Greece). Considering the location, facilities and food, overall value for money is strong.

Beach & Pool: Plenty of Space to Swim & Relax

The private beach is perfect for tranquil swims and has drinks service direct to your sunbed. At certain times of year, some seagrass may wash ashore, but staff clear this quickly. If you’re after picture-perfect turquoise waters, Corfu’s unspoilt natural beaches are just a short taxi or boat ride away. On-site you’ll find two spacious pools, a separate area for children, plenty of shade and more than enough sunbeds for all. Early risers love the calm pool for a morning swim, while families enjoy the livelier main pool.

Food & Drink: Four Restaurants, Two Bars – from Greece to Japan

The buffet restaurant serves fresh and varied cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with Greek specialities and international options. Three themed restaurants offer a range of experiences in the evenings: Greek with local produce, Italian-inspired snackeria with wood-fired pizza and homemade pasta, and a Japanese-Asian fusion venue. Nymphy Day ‘n’ Night Bar and the pool bars are favourite meeting spots for everything from coffee to cocktails in a relaxed Mediterranean setting. Book ahead to secure your table in the themed restaurants.

Rooms: Bright Comfort & Choice of View

All 240 rooms and suites are modern, spacious and smartly designed – air conditioning, free wifi, tea/coffee set, and mini-fridge are standard (safe available for a charge). Bathrooms are equipped with either a bath or shower, depending on category. Take your pick from garden, land or sea views (partial or direct), and for families, interconnecting rooms with sliding doors offer privacy. All rooms have a balcony or terrace – relax, let the garden scents and the sea breeze in, and unwind.

Bottom Line – Who is Kerkyra Blue For? Both couples and families seeking sunshine near the old town will love the dependable standards, genuinely friendly service and exciting dining. Those looking for quiet corners will find them at the spa or beach, while active guests can enjoy tennis, the gym and a light entertainment programme. For those who want the clearest waters, a short excursion to one of Corfu’s idyllic bays is recommended.

Sustainability & Responsibility

The hotel is committed to several environmental programmes (e.g., Travelife) supporting responsible operations – from energy saving and recycling to sourcing local produce. Towels are changed by request, water stations are provided and there is a clear focus on local products.

My professional verdict: Kerkyra Blue is a well-balanced five-star All Inclusive with real character – close enough to Corfu Old Town for added variety, yet spacious enough that you can always find a peaceful spot. The food is excellent, and it’s equally suitable for families and couples, with genuine hospitality shining through.
