As a sign of just how good Maria Apts/Faros Bar is you should also know that people from most of the other hotels and apartments used the bar, taverna quality food and pool on a regular basis throughout their stay, because of the friendliest welcome, high standards of cleanliness, food and pool bar.(this is not a problem theres plenty of room, sunbeds and hospitality for everyone. Yiannis is a real greek god- your wish is his command! This was the first of 15 greek holidays where we have felt we wanted to eat in the same place more than four times, He also has a philosophy on life that you will need to visit his bar to fully appreciate! Oh and on Saturdays they have a great Barbeque evening. We intend to go back as soon as we can! If you are going tell him Julie, Steve, Annie , Andrew, Roy, Jen and James said Yassou!

Has a nice pool although we went for the view and the cakes and coffee looked good they we very expensive and not very special. The three people behind the counter were disinterested in serving us and not very welcoming (unusual for greece in our experience.)

With ref to the last persons comment we did not eat at Spiros but met with a lad who had earlier in the week (31/may/2004 to 07/06/2004) who was also very ill which he said was following a meal there....so we didn't bother.

Aqualand is at Agios Ioannis on the main road on the livades Ropa and not far from corfu town. Cheaper to go under your own steam. This year it is about 18 euros per adult/12 euros for kids for all day from 10am to 18.00 (19.00 July/Aug) Admission is reduced after 3pm (12 Euros/9 Euros)which is what we did as it is easy to burn up whilst you are out on the various slides and wave pool etc. We still managed to do everything in three hours. But if you have the stamina all day would be great.
They have a web site www.aqualand-corfu.com
