“FABULOUS LOCATION, WONDERFUL HOSTS AND A PLACE WE WILL RETURN TO!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed the last week of September and the first week of October. The weather was amazing for 11 out of the 14 days (29-34 degrees) you have to remember to take mosquito repellant as it is a green island so you will be bit!

We have stayed in St George south before (15 months ago) and stayed at this hotel for 3 of our 14 day trip (allocated on arrival). This time though we jumped at the chance to stay at this hotel.

Eleana keeps the pool area and gardens (along with Agi of course) looking lush and tropical. The pool is always clean and although a little cold very inviting. It has to be said that you won't want to move from the pool area as everything you need is close at hand.

Don't believe the rubbish some people put about the owners, I think some people forget that meanings can be lost in translation and that the Greek can be very emotive with gesturing whilst trying to explain things to you.

This is the cheapest Greek village that we have stayed in, you can easily have a meal for two including drinks for as little as €16 in total. Even the more pricier places have great daily deals. We loved eating at Sunset, the Balcony and Seagull. A couple of places have changed since we were last there but they still cater for all tastes.

St George South is a very small town with only a handful of bars/restaurants so it's ideal for anyone who just wants a lazy holiday with great food that doesn't cost the earth.

The town only has one cash machine (it wasn't working as it's the end of the season) so the nearest one is about 10KM away in Lefkimmi (mega supermarket), if your not hiring a car or bike/quad take plenty of cash with you.

I would definitely return to St George and the Eleana Apartments and I'd just like to thank Eleana and Agi for making our holiday so enjoyable.

“Lovely pool, peaceful location, good standard of cleanliness”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

We enjoyed the beautiful pool in peaceful surroundings - on the edge of the resort with views of the countryside and hills. Rooms were well kept and cleaned twice during our week's stay, including a change of sheets.

The owner does work very hard but can be slightly intimidating and is keen to get you to purchase any extras available, but who can blame her?

We encountered two problems in the resort iin general - mosquitos are a really big problem - please come very prepared, and the only cash machine in the village was permanently out of money.

The local restaurants are all very good, we particularly enjoyed the Seagulls overlooking the bay.

“Great place”

Owners were very pleasant and amenable, don't believe the rubbish written about them! Apartments were basic but what else can you expect? But they were very clean. As for there being no washing up liquid and toiletries, this is an apartment not a five star hotel. I would thoroughly recommend it.

“Warm and Welcoming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

I could not beleive some of the reviews about this place, it is one of the nicest places on Corfu and My family and I have stayed in many. We have just returned from our second holiday to Eleanas, having first visited in 2009, and can honestly say that we had a wonderful holiday, made more so by the staff at these apartments. Eleana and Agis are two of the friendliest people I've met, they are hard working and very accomodating, nothing is ever to much trouble, which is why I cannot understand the attitude of some of the revierwers on this blog.
The apartmens themselves are basic but by greek standards are roomy, clean and comfortable they have adequate essentials e.g. enough utentsils per person, a fridge, a cooker, TV (although it is just Greek TV), air conditioning and large balconies. The rooms are cleaned regularly by the maid and Eleana, who work bloody hard all summer lets not forget. and sheets and towels are changed weekly (remember this is not a hotel so don't expect hotel service).
The pool is clean and has a good kidies section the grounds are immaculate and very pretty, the bar is well stocked and cheap and the food service is very good.
All in all Eleanas is one of the best Apartment complexes in Corfu and Certainly in St Georges South and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a relaxing quite holiday especially couples with youngish children. However if you want to party don't come here as it is not designed for such go to Kavos or Sidari instead.
Oh one more thing, and it is only a very small critisism, I would recommend you bring extra towels as you will only be provided with a small towel per person (as I said before this is not a hotel)

“Very poor owner who has NO respect hygiene of the clients. AVOID”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2010

Travelled to these apartments as a late deal through Olympic Holidays.
Arrived at 8am in the morning after a night flight from Manchester, meeting time with Rep was 12pm lunch time same day.
Meet Rep and informed him there was NO hot water coming through the system in the bathroom. He answer let it run, I then informed him the tap had been open for 4 hours and still no hot water. he agreed to look into it.
We asked when the rooms were cleaned he answered once in the week.
The pool area is nice, tidy and clean as are the gardens. The pool has very little if any Chlorine content which was a worry.
The main resort and beach was just 8 to 10 minutes walk. There were 2 little grocery stores on route, the second had the minibank (hole in the wall bank).
There was a good choice of Restaurants (The Balcony was the families fav choice).
After day one sickness and diarrhoea took hold on two of our party. One of the children had an accident (brown stain) on the sheet while asleep. The owner refused point blank to change the sheet, to the point she would not even give us one clean sheet to change it on our own.
The towels issued were one very small hand towels and only one per person and bearing in mind we had no hot water to wash hands with in the bathroom this was now becoming a problem.
The Olympic Rep was NO help at all and as he lived in the same accommodation it was obvious he was not going to rock the boat or support his clients.
The cleaner visited the room once after 4 days, swept the floor and emptyed the stinking bin in the toilet.
NO towels or bedding was changed.
On the last day we made a requested to keep our room as we were not picked up until 2.35am Saturday morning. We were told there would be a 30 euro charge but we would only be able to have the room from 12 lunch time to 8pm evening. There was NO Courtesy available for anyone with late flights. All lights went off in Reception at 2am leaving all travelling guests in the pitch black.
I suggest you avoid this hotel if you value your family's health and hygiene.
Third world standards and none existant customer care from owners or Olympic.
