Just returned today.

Lovely spacious and clean appartments.(Well done to the staff)
 
Dave who runs shooters bar is mad but helps you to enjoy your holiday.
Stuart (ET) makes a mean breakfast and ran the quiz night and bingo.
Daves Mum was always helpful and a great cook too.
 
All the staff made our holiday enjoyable.
 
Met some lovely people.

My girlfriend and I spent a week and Maria apartments in early August 2007. I have to say, the apartments were spacious and spotlessly clean. Pool was kept nice and clean, bar food is good, and there's no shortage of free sun loungers.

The location is ideal in the Canal D'Armour area, which is a ten minute walk to the centre of Sidari. The ten minute walk is lined with shops, bars and restuarants so great for warming up for the busier bars in Sidari itself.
 
The special thing about this place however is the staff in the bar below the apartments, Shooters Bar, run by Dave and his mum Pauline, with a little help from Rob and ET (ask Dave what this means!). There's also the boozy quizes run by Stu and a bit of karoke to finish you off!
 
Big thanks to all the guys in Shooters, and to Pauline for her wonderful sausage baguettes!
 
If you're thinking of booking, go for it, this place really does suit everyone as it's not too rowdy and not too quiet.
 
We've already decided we're coming back next year, so see you next summer! Dave and Gemma

 Just arrived back from the Maria Apartments Yesterday Morning.

Rahj and Rob both Lovely lads they made the holiday even more better.

Watch out for Rahj mind you he's mad. Rob is one crazy man.

Rob look after your toe. And lets hope sue doesnt text you . Wish we were there to see the message.

If you read this Rob Amy is cherishing that 1cent you gave her as she won you at pool after cheating.
 
Rahj i will miss them shots every morning, you'll have to find someone else to give them to.

We met three lovely couples (steve and sue) and (Julie and Phil) on our last few days there we met (Nicola and Ron) all mint people.

Would recomend the holiday to anyone all the people in shooters bar are just RADGEEE.

I would also recomend Aqua Land.

Lots Of Love David,Karen,Kaylie,Lee+Amy

just returned from 2 great weeks at maria appartments, the rooms are very clean and well equipped, Peggy does a great job keeping them like that,shooters is a great place to be Dave,Stuart and Rab are a good laugh and try their best to give you a brilliant holiday. Dave's till is something to see   

Gordon +          10/10

These apartments are excellent been the last 2 years been made to feel very welcome. The bar (Shooters) attached to the apartments are a must to goto, Raj is off his trolley he'll make you laugh all day long works very hard behind the bar, the breakfasts are the best in Sidari especially the Scottish breakfast. Plenty of entertainment and fun and drink to keep everyone happy. The apartments are very clean and spacious nad close to all amenities and beach.

Joanne I           

arrived back from maria apartments last night, although we enjoyed the company of everyone in the shooters bar, we hated the apartments, they were only cleaned once in 2 weeks and the sheets changed once, there was no where to sit, only a table and 4 chairs(there were 5 of us),the pool left a lot to be desired, and i got really worried when every guest in the apartments was coming down with vomiting and the runs by the end of the holiday. there was also a smell of sewage, we found out on our last day that the owner was pumping raw sewage from the apartments into a field at the back of us. the rooms were damp,and all our beds felt damp ,the couple next door stripped their bed and found urine soaked mattrasses underneath, no tiolet paper was provided and i had to clean the apartments myself every day.

the people in the shooters bar are not the owners of these apartments, they run a fantastic bar, with good food and nothing was too much trouble for them, i would never go back to these apartments.

Vaughan M           

best holiday we have ever had the rooms are great nice sized rooms with a kitchen/dining room the toilet and shower room is a bit small but its ok the bedrooms are a good size,we had a room with a balcony overlooking the pool.the town is about a 10 minute walk away with loads of shops and restaurants and bars for the people who like a drink at night.we mostly stayed at the shooters bar by the apartments at night it is a great laugh with dave the barman he is very welcoming and a great laugh if you need any help he will do his best to sort out any problems you have.the entertainment is a good laugh with karaoke and quizes with a twist there is one called mr and misses, lads if you fancy getting in trouble play it its a good laugh. ask dave to play jacks if you fancy getting drunk. watch out for alan the pool man he is a very funny man and will have you in stitches with his jokes and great sense of humour.if you have a room next to the pool and like to sleep take some ear plugs because he plays his scottish music about 9 in the morning.we had such a great time and such a laugh cant wait to go back next year.if you want to know anything else email me at vmay1@hotmail.co.uk

We have just come back from our weeks stay in the Maria apartments and it was the best holiday we have had. Dom, barbara, ricky and Raj were all fantastic and they were the ones who really made the holiday. Shooters bar is the best bar in corfu. The breakfasts were brilliant as well as the entertainment. We are definately going back next year. Ray and Shaz (Dundee)

I have been to Sidari before so pretty much know my way around, but was just wondering if anyone could tell me how far the walk is from Maria's Apartments to the resort centre, near to caesers, shakers bar etc etc... thanks lisa x

Eunice F           

Just returned from Sidari yesterday (Monday 26/09/05) we had a great time this was the second time this year we were there for 2 weeks in June and this was a week.  Dom and Barbara were fantastic the breakfast was amazing as always the only scottish breakfast in town.  The apartments are clean Peggie the cleaner is really nice.  Raj the barman is great really good fun and Barbaras son Ricky is really nice.  We had christmas by the pool when the weather was 46 degrees.  Dom and Raj put on santa hats, had christmas songs on and made snow balls from the ice cream freezer and started throwing them about.  David the rep was nice, Kelly was the rep in June but she had moved on when we arrived in September.

Janice P

We loved it that much we are going back in August 2005

Steph C

Bob and Bob otherwise known as alan and dave are absolutley wicked guys. not one day went passed where they didnt make me laugh. everyone in the appartments got on really well and had a good time.

Rebecca T           

The maria apartments are great we have been back two weeks nearly now and are looking into booking again for next year we cant wait we had a wonderful time.The staff were wonderful especially alan the pool cleaner and bob(david). they gave us some extra special memory's that we will never forget. My 3 year old daughter loved them all and we made some great freinds there. the location could not have been better if it had been hand picked by us ourselves. there are loads of beaches near by and bars and clubs 10 mins walk away. the only bad thing i can say about this holday is mosquitoes! as any one who has been will understand. And anybody who goes there must try the hawaii restaurant two mins up the road as the food and staff are wonderful and its great value for money! Thanks to everyone for a a great holiday and we hope to return next year!   Becky, Scott, Sue ,Andy and Olivia x x x x x

Gerry I           

we did not stay here but spent every day in the pool area and bar.these appartments are wonderfull,

lovely pool area and setting.Barbara Domenico Raj(bob) and Richard are the perfect host  to make your holiday enjoyable.
 
Breakfast and snacks are the best in Sidari and the evening entertainment help make these aparments one of the best we have encountered in Greece. Thanks all for great holiday.

Joel H           

We got back from stopping at the marias on tuesday ,we had the most fantastic time with babs, dom, raj, rick and alan.  the appartments were great and sidari was beautiful .  kelly our rep was great too. cant wait to return next year.

 
luv to all at shooters bar from Joel and Liz.

Gordon +           

 Arrived home last night from an excellent 2 weeks staying at Maria apartments in Sidari.  The apartments were really good - all staff really friendly and helpful.  Dom and Barbara from Glasgow, run Shooters bar which is attached to the apartments and are Simply The Best couple and ensured we had a fantastic holiday with entertainment of all sorts on each night. Dom makes the best Scottish Breakfast I have ever tasted abroad with home made potato scones and square sausage - Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!   

The only downside was leaving.  Cant wait to return, hopefully be back later in the year.

Patricia H           

my friends and i had a wonderful holiday at maria apartments sept. 2004. staff were excellent apartments kept very clean and tidy . bar and restaurant staff very friendly as are all greek people,i still keep in touch with nikos.

Heather O           

Go here, you wont be disappointed!

Heather O           

Marias Apartments on the beachfront are the dogs! We have stayed there twice, with no complaints. The owner Spiros and his wife Eleanor are quite happy to help, and Theo, Nikos, and Yiannis, the waiters make you feel that nothing is too much trouble.If you are staying here, you will have no problems. Set right on the beach, and close to bars and tavernas, it is a great palce to stay. Kids are welcomed and the sea is shallow for quite a way out. Can't wait to go back, see ya all in September. 'Ola'.

Nicola M           

Although not stayed in the Marias apartments ourselves so could only comment on how we found the restaurant and staff. Food is basic but good if you don't mind the wait when busy. Staff are absolutely fantastic, couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Anything they can do for you they will. Might seem stand offish but that is just the way they appear underneath they are absolutely fab! Beach situated right next to apartments and is excellent for families with young children as the sea is shallow for a long way out. If you stay in the facinity of marias you wont go wrong.

Lauren M           

well i've been reviewin the wrong place, just ignore me!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly H           

i have just came back from a whole summer session working in marias appartments with sunset i was the rep there i had the best time in my life very friendly place to work. met two great mates raj and lisa cant wait to go back next year!

Lisa J           

I spent the summer working in shooters bar which is in maria appts (sunset brochure) met millions of fantastic ppl!! n a great friend in kelly the rep!! i love sidari and i think a holiday is only wat u make it and u should all stop complaining!! x

Nicholas L           

We stayed at the Maria Apartments between 18th - 25th October 2004. Me and my partner thought the apartments was excellent. Friendly service by Dom, Barbara, Lisa & Raj all were excellent.

The breakfast at the apartments was brilliant very good value for money and the portions were also very good also.

The shooters bar is a must if you stay here, very good entertainment. As we went the end of the season the Canal D'Amour was starting to close down this didn't represent too much of a problem as the centre of Sidari is only 15 mins walk away.

Our rep was Kelly Heggie she was very nice, plus she was at the Maria alot so if we had of needed her she was there. She was friendly and very helpful not at all like a rep you usually get!!

One of the Best Holidays i've had.

Shirley P           

shooters bar is well worth a vist! we had a great time! the rep kelly heggie is the best rep weve had! always smiling, alot of fun and will go out her way to help with any problem u myt have!! the bar staff, lisa and raj are great fun and will make u feel very welcome! dom cooks a great breakfast! BEST SCOTTISH BREAKFAST IN TOWN!! in fact its the only scottish breakfast in town! lisa and kelly took us down town we had a fantastic time! thanx girls!! definetly c u next year!! x

Aileen M           

The Maria is in the Sunset brochure as that was where I booked my hol from we're going Next Monday hope its okay judging by one or two comments it seems okay. Just looking forward to some sort of SUN!!!

Lauren M           

hello maxine, i stayed in the maria/takis which is just up the road from the three little pigs etc, however i'm not sure if sunset did the maria, i may be wrong however. hope you have fun

Jason L           

we have just returned from a week at the Marias apartments on the beachfront. we had a fantastic week and couldnt fault anything about the apartment or staff. given that the apartments only had a 2 star plus rating we were very pleased with the cleanliness of the accommodation and the service we received. we both enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year and are going for two weeks this time!

Maxine E

i have booked an apartment in marias(sunset brochure) stayed before but my sister has booked the takis apartments ( direct holidays ) are theyjust up from the three little pigs and rose garden restaurant near san george apartments please can someone reply asap to put their minds at rest.

Eunice F           

We returned from our stay in the middle of June at the Maria apartments and they were really nice very modern. We had to change our booking to stay there as the apartments we had booked for the contract had been cancelled (Hawaii). The apartment was clean and very spacious(2 of us stayed in it). The pool was clean and the staff at Shooters bar were lovely Dom & Barbara the owners are from Glasgow were nice. Dom had his 60th birthday whilst we were there but you don't hear noise from the bar downstairs.

Sidari is good for relaxing four years running we have booked there. Food is good try the Sea breeze in town for a three course meal for four euros and also Astoria at the side of the dive shop in town is good. San Remo can't be missed to try Gyros a local kebab they are amazing and also just down from the apartments are Churchills which does amazing fish and chips I dare you to finish it the portions are huge and the chips are homemade.

Good shopping in town and also in Corfu town. Travel with Vlasseros just passed San Remo if you want any excursions as they are cheap and the coaches are air conditioned the local green bus service is very unreliable don't try it you will have to stand the hour in to town.

Chris T           

Although the location of the appartments was excellent and the town life good the only thing that let these appartments down was the cleanliness. Clean sheets on arrival and black sheets on departure as they were only changed once a week so if your only going for a week take a sleeping bag as the sheets will be black after three days.we showered twice a day so it is nothing to do with our personal hygene. The face cloths that were supposed to be bath towels were only changed once whilst we were there!!!!! So if your going take plenty of towels you will need them.

Sonia A

HI I have booked with thomas cook for the Maria apartments(hawaii) for next year, could you tell me if you have towels and linnen are provided as this is our first time to corfu.
Thank you.

Linda C           

Just back from Sidari. Stayed in The Maria Apartments (next to Takis). Nice clean accommodation (which surprisingly had a microwave)! Five minute walk into start of Sidari. Effie (Mrs. Takis) at pool very helpful, but she is not responsible for cleaning/changing of towels, linen etc. Could have done with a more regular change of towels (only once in a week). Nice pool at Takis with well tended grounds. Only noise we heard was from a nearby cockerel, a goat and the birds which had set up home in the half finished building next to the apartments and coming from a big city this made a nice change from traffic noise. All in all a good budget priced base.

Joanne S           

me, my fiance and our two year old daughter stayed at the maria apartments (hawaii complex) in may 2003. I have to say that we had a really good holiday, the people who owned the apartment were really friendly and dom and barbara from shooters bar downstairs where great(excellent breakfast for a hangover).even though the apartment was a bit on the small side i would recommend the place to anyone.

Roseann C           

I have just returned from Sidari after spending one week there, I would recomend that if you are looking for a quite week away to relax and re-charge your batteries Sidari is the place to go. I and the rest of my party thoroughly enjoyed our week away. It was nice to know that we could lie at the pool whilst the kids where playing on the beach just feet away. I would recommend Maria's Appartments to families as they can get the full use of the beach without traveling to far.

Andy R           

My wife Paula and I stayed at the Maria Appartments which are part of the Hawaii complex (not to be confused with Maria's appartments on the beach) in August 2003. Had loads of fun and were made to feel very welcome by Dom, Barbara, John and Tres at the Shooters Pool Bar at the Maria Appartments. We enjoyed it so much, we are going back again this year. So Dom and Barbara, if you have read this, see you on 5th July!

Good food, good beer and a good time - would highly recommend.

Lyndsey W           

Just to set things strate about these two appartments! The maria apartments are in the sunset brouchure (booked through THOMAS COOK) and are part of the hawaii complex. The MARIA'S apartments are in the sunstart brouchure and booked through (FIRST CHOICE) every body is putting their comments for the MARIA'S apartments in under the maria apartments which is giving it a bad reputation and getting people confused, the MARIA'S appartments havent even got a comment box to put anything in so people are using this one. By my research of these two apartments the maria is the better of them two. Maria apartments are based 300m from the beach, were as the maria's is based on the beach front this is why they get a lot of noise on a night as it is next door to a restaurant. The resort centre shops and bars are based 1km away from the maria apartments were as the maria's apartments are right near the resort centre. I wouldent worry if you have booked up for the maria apartments like we have my friend has been before and she says it is excellent so thats good news. As for the MARIA'S apartments the comments i have heard are not to good.

Stacey C

Does anybody know if the marias appartments are the same as the maria appartments because me and my fioncee are going to the marias appartments but cant seem to find anything out about it and all that comes up is maria appartments please lets us know if you know anything cheers xx

Jacquie and ben W           

we stayed there for a week and it was alrite, the apartment was cleen and the staff were friendly.The kitchen if you can call it that is very basic with a two ring cooker and a fridge.The bathroom is small with a weak shower that goes hot and cold.The pool is nice with two gaint palm trees hanging over the water.We had brilliant views from our balcony with the sea just yards away but the beach is'nt very nice with a sewer river running on the beach into the sea. It is located 5 mins from the town where there are plenty of bars and restaurants, the drinks are pretty expensive now the euro is the currantcy but still about the same as the uk.I would recomend it to couples but it is not a family place, hope that you have a nice time! ben and jakie coventry

Jackie            

After reading all the bad comments about Maris'a I was dreading staying there, but even though we had the crappy small room (Number 13) it was ok as we were only staying for a week. I have stayed in worse places but the room was clean but the drains would smell when you went back to the room after a hard days sunbathing.

Maria's is located just a couple of minutes walk from the smelly bridge and there are plenty of bars which will keep you entertained.

The pool and the pool area was very clean as it was cleaned every night. The sun loungers around the pool are free but there is a charge if you use them on the beech. If it is too busy around the pool there are plenty of bars which offer you free use of their pools as long as you use their bar for drinks and snacks etc.

We had no problems with the staff, but we only spoke to them a few times.

I would stay at Maria's again and hope that they have solved their smelly drain problem.

Claire

i'm just wondering wether LISA ENGLAND is from esssex because there was a girl around 16 who stayed in the same apartments as me. iwas just wonering if that was her.

Lisa E           

all the bad comments people have written are rubish-this was the best holiday we have ever been on!we booked from the first choice sun start book not the direct holidays book so that might be crap the marias we went to wernt. the waiters are lovely they are not p**vs just friendly. they only want you to have a good holiday. yannis, costas, spiros, theo and lena are a real good laugh so say hello to all of them from the englands!!!pool was clean beach was clean room was clean. we had no problems. iam only 16 and the night life is amazing!have a real good holiday if you are going we are all jelous of you!!!

Caroline J           

Just returned from the maria apts nxt to Takis Apts, in Sidari. Apartments basic but clean, location excellent just 5 mins walk from centre attractions, pubs, restaurants etc of Sidari, but far enough away from the noise. Pool and pool area clean, Owners friendly and would recommend Effies greek nite. Only down fall bus ride from Airport to Sidari very very windey, travel sickness tabs recommended.
Very enjoyable stay and would definately recommend it.

Kay W           

We have just returned from the Maria appartments(Direct Holidays next to the Takis appartments) The appartment was spacious and clean.It could only be improved by an extra sheet change (only once in the fortnight,but towels 3 or 4 times!) The pool at the Takis is very clean,the people very friendly. Mrs Takis is happy to prepare food from the menu but it is snack sized portions;she does offer a Greek night which is really good.
Most of the noise is generated by traffic, which is sometimes noticeable at night.
A 5 minute walk brings you to the start of Sidari, which has ample
entertainment.Try the Rose Garden for a nice meal
All in all, an excellent holiday

Claire            

i have just come back from marias apertments and it was great. i didnt care if i could hear music from in the bar at night because i was on holiday! if you are going just TOTALLY ignore the bad comments. the pool was really clean and lovely and the beach was just a step away from the poolside. i saw the pool and pool side being cleaned every night. the cleaners seem really friendly but then i found 2 rings going missing. i have a feeling they stole them because i have just read a comment saying that other tourists had some of their belongings missing aswell. the waiters are very friendly but some a bit greasy! it was funny taking the mick out of them. we named them all; greasy, young, dwarf, turmomouse, layered and old. all with the sirname 'greek.'(spot which one is which) The food their is great too. their were 3 clubs and many bars all full of friendly and familiar faces (because you always see everyone more than once cuz sidari is quite small) it was really fun. i definitely want to go back next year to marias apartments.

Shirley V           

Maria's is situated right on Sidari beach and is very handy for all amenities. It is noisey as it is attached to a restaurant and late closing bar. The staff vary, some are very nice, genuine and friendly. One or two are rather slimy, but the word 'no' is very effective. The owners can come across as rude, but it might have more to do with them not speaking much English. The food is basic, but service is quick. Quiz and Kareoke every night can become wearisome. Every night is Greek night but not worth making a special trip for - watch out for Yannis attempting acrobatics from the ceiling, it's truly cringeworthy! I wouldn't recommend taking children in later on as the evening.

Shirley B           

I have been panicking because we are going to the Maria Apartments in Sidari - the one next door to the Takis apartments. The comments are terrifying on this website and I would love someone to put my mind at ease. I have discovered that there's the Maria apartments (Direct Holidays) and the Marias apartments (First Choice). Please could someone email to reassure me that the Maria apartments next door to the Takis apartments are okay because I don't want to ruin the only chance I have to relax this year. I have contacted Direct Holidays for reassurance and am waiting for them to ring me back today. I will post a comment about what they say after they have called back.

Susie H

Who ever is going to the Marias apartments take loads of bite cream and spray.I thought the apartments were fine so dont panic about peoples comments.The food is a bit expensive here at Marias apartments but dont forget it is sea view + if you go down the road to Angelinas there the same as marias because her daughter owns if but that is a bit bettter then Marias. Who ever goes or planning on going have a good time because Im SO jealous I want to go back.TAKE ME WITH YOU! TAKE ME!+ Say hello to Costa the young waiter for me.

Susie H           

Hi I have recently come back from the Marias apartments and I thought it was great, the view from my apartment was fantastic because it was overlooking the sea and pool.I didnt want to come home + the waiters and bar people and really nice expecially Costa he was gorgeous and friendly so if any one sees him say I said hi.Everything is right on your door step and the bars stay open till late but so what its great if you don't want somewhere loud go somewhere else but I really enjoyed my holiday.People who are going there check it out for yourself before you decided to cancel.I am going back next year because I loved it soooooooo much and Im only sixteen.

Caroline R           

Lisa
If the apartments are part of the Hawaii complex then you will have no problem whatsoever. As far as the others are concerned I cannot comment. It might be an idea to check with your tour operator and see if there have been any complaints.

Lisa E

PLEASE HELP ME, IVE JUST READ THE RECENT MARIAS APPARTMENT REVIEWS NOW IAM SO SCARED OF MY HOLIDAY!IS THE LOCATION AND HOTEL THAT BAD?IAM GOING AUGUST 11TH
I WANT A LIVELY BUT NICE HOLIDAY-AM I WISHING?

Lorraine & john K           

we stayed at the maria's apts in june 2003, and what a holiday from hell, the staff are rude, (watch out for the waiters p**verts), not very helpful, ate in the restaurant one night and welcomed more outsiders then the people who were staying in their apartments, smelt sewage all through the holiday, showers did not work got scalded one night when i went turnt the cold shower tap on, spiteful to children, actually bruised my daughters cheek, would not recommend anybody to stay at the maria's apts, not for a family holiday, dirty pool, staff did not even bother to clean out pool or remove sunbeds. glad to come back to britain, definately would not be returning

Frosty S           

'Poor' doesn't actually sum up the foulness of these apartments enough - there was a window in the shower, the self catering aspect of the room turned out to be a single ringed hob, which half worked, the company overbooked so half our party ended up on Camper Beds!!! There were reports of the cleaners stealing from the tourists, our balcony door became jammed, so we didn't have access to the balcony - the staff didn't care and we had to share a door key between 3 of us, meaning everyone kept getting locked out - I spent many drunken nights on a cold floor getting eaten by the local bugs, because the staff wouldn't part with a key. The Beach is absolutely rank, with a sewage-filled river flowing straight into the sea - the locals attack you at every opportunity to buy into some scheme, even charging 7 Euros per sun lounger, the actual staff at Marias are smarmy and literally quite scary - with one actually having sex with some random blonde in the middle of one of their infamous 'Greek Nights'. The bar closes when the last person leaves and so if you're planning on having an 'early night' it'd be a good idea to bring ear-plugs... this was honestly the worst, most unpleasant and cheap looking hovel I've ever seen - not to mention been stranded in - it is most certainly NOT a Family place and should really be taken out of every British brochure, although in all honesty it has made me realise what a wonderful life I have here in Britain, I was delighted when we were leaving :0)

The nightlife is about 10mins walk away from the appts, there are 2 nightclubs and ots of bars. Not brilliant but a very good nightlife. It was our first time to Corfu too, but it really is lovely....hope you have a great time

I went at the start of the season in the first week in May with Mandy, a friend of mine. First it was a bit of a culture shock, quite sparce and secluded....the drive from the airport is an absolute nightmare - DON'T GET A NIGHT FLIGHT - is my advice!!!

The appts are not that clean, but very liveable. Pool is okay but there are much better ones opposite in the appts that you are free to use. The staff at the Maria are extremely friendly, very heplful. Loads of places to eat out that are great, especially the two brothers.....beautiful scenary, Sidari town has lots of great bars, the people are the friendliest I've ever met...can't do enough for you. We would definately go back - takes a couple of days to adjust but we loved it and would definately go back. Also, Nikos who works in the bike shop is a sound lad, went out for a few drinks with him.....anyone going to The Maria...say hi to him from Gary & Mandy

Hi All, could someone tell me if these are the block of apartments (six I think) that are a pink colour in the Direct Holidays brochure. Looked all over the internet, and can't find any details whatsoever. Arriving in Corfu 7/7/03 and getting a bit concerned. Hope someone can help, and I promise to write something about these pink apartments when I get back.

Just returned from the Maria apartments and they were great. Basic but clean, and Dean O'Hara is right Dom and Barbara who run the pool bar are fantastic, nothing is too much for them. Very welcoming and Dom serves up a cracking breakfast!!! This apartment is part of the Hawaii complex so don't confuse it with the larger Maria apartments which i believe were dreadful, although the bar at night was a good laugh. We enjoyed it so much we're booking for next year. Lots of love to Dom, Barbara, Tres, John and Michelle from Louise Steve and Chris xx

studio apartments were dirty&there were really bad smell from the sewage.The owner was very rude,food was really bad.I would never go back there again.I would advise anyone going here to change to another apartment.We came home early,it was discusting

marias apt very basic if you didnt eat in the attached restaurant they treated you like sh**t apts overlooked bar and pool so dont expect an early night or a lay in,also downstairs apts shared same waste pipe into loo/shower from above, so every shower, gurgle,fart, plop and flush was a shared expierience.balcony onto pool areas so not very private prices in corfu have risen so take extra cash ( lots)we drove all over island found RODA cheaper quiter and more laid back

Me, my husband and our thirteen year old son are due to fly out to the Maria apartments at the beginning of June. Was just wondering what to expect? The write up on Hawaii apartments seems o.k but Maria apartments don't seem to have such a good one.In the sunset brochue the Maria apartments has a better sunset rating than hawaii. Please put my mind at rest as I'm starting to panic now!! Many thanks

Jackie H

I am due to arrive at the Maria apartments in June and I have heard good and bad comments about the apartments, some people say they are damp and smelly but some say they are very basic but clean. Have you stayed here before?? What do you think??

Melanie V
