Jason Hotel - (Accommodation in Ipsos)

Sam            

We got back on 6th July and had a fab hol. Went with my boyfriend and another couple. Can't fault the hotel, much better than what we thought for the price we paid. Real nice reception- marble floors,lifts etc. The rooms were clean and modern, much better than any other appartments i've had in Greece. The hotel is set up in the mountains, so away from all the noise of the main strip of bars/clubs. Only down fall is the hill..not good treking it back to the hotel in mid day heat arghhh! We kept getting taxi's back in the night, as couldnt face walking (prob good idea when staggering after bar crawl!)also its a bit dodgy if you're coming back on your own. The pool was lovely and clean, only problem we had was all the european kids, but luckily they played music to drown them out! The breakfast was basic, continental style- toast, cereal, ham, cheese, eggs and yuk yoghurt stuff! not worth getting up for to be honest as you can get a nice english breakie down the road for 3 euro.
Ipsos itself was nice, plenty of places to drink and eat. A lovely restaurant was The Oddessey, just as you come out onto the main road from the hotel. Lots of choice, and real nice food. The owner is from Newcastle and was so friendly. She gave us free champagne and dessert when Greece won the footie..was a mad night!
If you're looking for things to do in the day, you can do watersports on the beach front, we hired a motor powered boat for the day for 80 euro inc fuel. Also did a boat trip for the day (Agos Nickolas or something)that inc a bbq too. Just booked it with one of the guys on the street for about 15 euro each. If you're going to Corfu you must head to the water park too, we had a right laugh..loads of slides and a fab wave machine pool. Cost us 25 euro each at one of the day trip places.
All in all we had a great hol and would return to Corfu again..

Odessey - (Restaurants in Ipsos)

we went to Corfu for a week on the 28th June and basically ate at this restaurant about 4 of the 7 days we were there. The decor was lovely and there was lots of choice. The food was of real good quality and we never had any complaints. The staff were so nice and friendly, we spent the night when Greece won the footie here, and shared champagne and cake with the owner/chef's etc! It was the only place we found that did alot of things you'd find in restaurants over here, and all at a good price. Had 2 starters, 2 main courses and a few drinks each for about 38 euro. Make sure you try this place!

Trip to Aqualand - (Corfu Excursions)

Sam            

Got back on the 6th July...thought aqualand was fab! Much nicer and bigger than other ones i've been to on past hols. Paid 25 euro each which inc mini bus- just booked through one of the shops on the street in ipsos. Got there at 11am and was picked up at 5.30pm so lots of time to do everything. Some mad slides and a wave machine pool- that was a laugh! Lots of sun loungers when you wanna chill, and the fast food is actually quite nice for this type of place..obv more pricey than anywhere else but found it okay. Go here for a good day out.
