Overview & Hotel Highlights

Sandy Beach Resort in Corfu is set right on the wide stretch of Blue Flag sandy beach at Agios Georgios (South) and offers an excellent All Inclusive package for 2025, perfect for families, couples, and friends. The 684 rooms are spread over 16 buildings, the pools feature thrilling water slides, and there are plenty of sports activities plus a delicious range of food options—from buffet to à la carte. Here you’ll enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of a beach resort beside the Ionian Sea, with spacious family-friendly areas and a truly relaxed holiday vibe.

Cleanliness & Maintenance

The public spaces, pool areas and gardens are generous and well-maintained. Rooms—from Classic to Junior Suites—are bright and practical, and the level of modernity varies depending on the building. Housekeeping provides daily cleaning, and you’ll get fresh towels as needed. In summer, the staff keep up with the sometimes high guest numbers thanks to the many restaurants and bars, ensuring the resort remains fresh and welcoming throughout.

Value for Money

With All Inclusive, a direct beachfront location, numerous pools (including kids’ pool and one with water slides), and a wide selection of activities, you get a lot of holiday for your money. Families especially appreciate the combination of facilities, entertainment and dining options. If you’re after five-star luxury or intimate boutique hotels, you might want to look elsewhere—but you’ll likely pay a lot more for a similar spot by the sea.

Beach & Pools

The soft, fine sandy beach is right in front of the hotel and ideal for families with children. Sun loungers and parasols are available in season, along with beach volleyball and various water sports. The complex also features several freshwater pools—two large pools, a children’s pool, plus a pool area with four water slides. Poolside snack stations and bars mean it’s always easy to grab a cool drink or bite to eat between dips in the water.

Food & Drink

The main restaurant, “Elia”, serves international and Mediterranean-inspired buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evenings, you’ll find speciality options—“Ammos” (Greek/Mezze) and “Il Gusto” (Italian à la carte)—and several bars by both the pool and the beach. During high season, there’s a gelateria too. Families are well-catered for, with child-friendly menus and flexible snack times.

Activities & Leisure

Besides the beach and pools, you can enjoy tennis, basketball, table tennis, try a workout in the gym or join an organised activity programme. Younger guests will love the playgrounds, kids’ club, and colourful water slides. Evenings bring shows and light entertainment. The resort’s proximity to the Korission Lake nature reserve and the Issos sand dunes makes it easy to get out and explore some of Corfu’s glorious green scenery.

Sustainability

Sandy Beach Resort is strongly committed to sustainability (including Travelife certification) and clearly shares its actions around energy and water usage, waste management, and support for the local community on its information page.

Guest profile: Ideal for families and couples seeking a vibrant resort hotel with excellent children’s facilities, a rich All Inclusive offering, and direct beach access. If you prefer a quieter stay, ask for a room away from the main pools and evening entertainment—or visit outside of high season.

The main restaurant, “Elia”, offers varied buffets with international and Mediterranean-inspired dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evening, you can explore the resort’s speciality venues—“Ammos” (Greek mezze, right by the beach) and “Il Gusto” (Italian à la carte)—booking a table is recommended. During the day, grab snacks from the “Ammos’ Snack” station between swims.

Enjoy soft drinks, tea & coffee, and locally produced alcoholic drinks, all as part of the All Inclusive package.

Pools, Spa & Wellness

Pool Complex with Water Slides & Kids’ Section

Spa & Fitness

At Aegeo Spa (extra charges apply), you can book massages or body treatments. There’s also a gym, tennis and basketball courts, table tennis, and the opportunity to play beach volleyball. There’s something for every age and energy level!

Service & Staff

Warm Greek Hospitality

The friendly team knows how to look after both families and international guests, organising everything from kids’ clubs to evening entertainment and lightening up your holiday. In season, a multilingual animation team runs activities and entertainment during the day and evening.

Reception & Concierge (Languages)

The reception is staffed 24 hours a day; English and Greek are spoken as standard and you’ll often find German or other languages, too. They can help with everything from excursions and car hire to table reservations.

Sustainability Focus

The resort holds Travelife certification and is transparent about its environmental initiatives—from saving water and energy to community engagement. Its adjacent Blue Flag beach further enhances its green credentials.

I love the combination of endless sandy beach, the children’s pool with slides, and those flavour-packed Greek-Italian evenings at Ammos and Il Gusto. If you enjoy lively resorts and a holiday area buzzing with activity, this is absolutely the right place.
