Loxides Apartments - (Accommodation in Sidari)

Hi Its Viki - Just got back From Corfu on Monday. Had a great time. We stayed in room 307 and I have to say we were really pleased with everything. The rooms were basic but had everything we need and were cleaned daily. Richelle and Yianni are brilliant. They work really long hours and yet still always manage to be in a good mood! Nothing was too much trouble and we really felt looked after. All the staff were really friendly. My daughter Neve had a great time, playing in the pool and on the swings.

The only critisism I have is that only snacks purchased from the pool bar were allowed when you were by the pool. The food was really nice and prices were ok however the ice creams were really expensive compared with anywhere else. Obviously Neve wanted one every 2 minutes and at 3 euros each i felt i was being ripped off, especially as i was only paying between 1 and 1.50 for the same ones when we were out and about.
 
Know what you mean about the scraping of chairs ! it drove us a bit crazy too !
 
We didnt really need to speak to the rep whilst we were in Corfu however we did attend the welcome meeting on the 7th June - and being it was her first meeting since she has become a rep I just thought she was a bit nervous thats all - she seemed really nice
 
 
All in all if i were to go back to corfu i would stay at the loxides again definately. The only thing stopping me is that airport !! the trip home has got to be the worst travelling experience ever !!!!

Cactus Jacks - (Restaurants in Sidari)

We loved Cactus Jacks the portions are huge so beware!

The sesame Chicken starter were just yummy! My hubby had the t bone steak and it was like a doorstep! Althoug the prices are higher than average - you get loads and its perfect so well worth a couple of extra euros! In total there were 8 of us and we went a couple of times and  everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff are great too, really friendly
 
 

Three Little Pigs - (Restaurants in Sidari)

The best thing about this place is that they had a park that kept kids entertained. The stifado was lovely however the portion was not big enough really  - Apart from that the rest of the food we had there was a bit of a let down - i got a chicken salad - the salad was nice but the chicken was cold and full of water as if it had been frozen after it was cooked

 
The greek dancing was good though !

For anyone who is going to loxides!!!

I am really surprised that anyone can find anything to complain about Yianni and Richelle. They were such great hosts! and they worked incredibly long hours. I suppose we all expect different things from a holiday and i respect others may not have the same opinion as me however anyone who is worried about staying because of the negative comments - dont be you will have a great time as long as you are not expecting a luxury 5 star hotel with porters - it isn't its 3 !!!
 
The pool and pool area was fine, if you have booked Loxides you will get what it says on the tin basically. Don't expect a five star holiday for the cost of a budget holiday. The holiday is with Olympic not Sandals !!!!
 
My room was cleaned everyday and the bedding and towels were changed every 3. The cleaners were very polite and came back later if it wasnt convenient to clean our room.

Sorry you had such a bad experience Miss K Hunt  - its really bizzarre how different your experience was to mine - i had never been to Loxides before and yet all the staff were fantastic - we didnt have to complain about anything (believe me i am not the sort to grin and bare things !) a couple we met though - rachel and Martin (room 510) couldnt open the shutters in their room and were quite worried about bringing it to Richelle's attention as Emma had warned us in the welcome meeting to be careful! When Martin told Richelle - she was fine - told them not to worry about it and sent the handy man up to fix it ! Maybe we all just got good rooms and there are some bad ones on the ground floor i dont know

For people who are booked and paid for to go Loxides - keep an open mind - whilst reviews are a great way to get insight into where you are staying - some peoples comments are tactless and will gear some people up for complaining before they even get there - and dampen the excitement to others waiting to jet off to their long awaited holiday - i was worried after reading Gemma's comments and instead of looking forward to arriving - half of me was dreading it - but i needn't have worried about anything all my famiy had a great time (including my husbands parents who are both a fair bit over 35!)
