“September 2011”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

My wife and i stopped at the oceanis middle of september for i week.the place was lovely great views thw wife even saw a dolphin early one morning that alone made her holiday was so peaceful there balcony with seaviews was great and balcony stretched length of bedroom and living room combined masses of room.Food was delicious Its not a posh place but you are not paying posh money its just a lovely quiet place for a holiday.With good food and fantastic sea views.We had a car from the airport for a week was just as cheap as getting a taxi each way Corfu town was busy but once out of it driving was easy . We went all round the island north and south east and west got to say although some realy lovely places in Corfu we especially liked San Stefanos on the north west coast lovely beach and not to touristy . Also can not remember the name of village its near but found a lovely taverna on the south east coast think it was called nostos taverna it was right by the sea where you could swim in warm water but had the most lovely gardens leading down to the water. Any way had real good holiday and would definetly recommend the Oceanis

“Beautiful location, great views, fantastic staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

I stayed here with my husband and my parents. The apartments are situated on the edge of a cliff with beautiful views. The rooms were spacious and very clean with a good size balcony overlooking the pool and the sea. There is a small kitchenette in the room with hob, kettle, sink and fridge; enough to make a few basic meals, but once you eat in the taverna you won't want to cook at all! The food was fantastic, very reasonable priced, delicious and big portions! There were quite a few people coming to the taverna from other hotels and apartments which is testiment to the quality of the food.

The is free wifi available, and there are a couple of computers in the bar area, as well as a selection of books to borrow.

The outdoor pool was kept spotless and was lovely and warm with a selection of floats and toys available for children.

Nikos and the rest of the staff were fantastic, very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Nikos kindly helped us to arrange boat hire and also helped us to book tours for the next part of our holiday in Athens.

I would definitely recommend hiring a car if you want to visit the local towns or larger supermarkets, however there are beaches and some small shops within walking distance.

“Amazing views, relaxing pace but rooms needing an update”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Firstly the price was very competitive and considering the location with uninterrupted water views, great value. I enjoyed our stay very much having relaxing times by the pool & many lovely meals at the outdoor dining area over looking the incredible ocean views. The little rocky beach was lovely with clear & water.
The negatives were the bathroom was in poor condition, no lock on the window that opened on to the road. The shower was tiny and cramped and flooded the floor after use.
The mattress in the bedroom was thin and quite uncomfortable. The security box in the wardrobe was a small cash tin screwed into the shelf and easily removable by lifting the wooden shelf out. The wifi hardly worked. The TV small, and very fuzzy pictures but I didn't come to Corfu to watch TV so not really an issue. The pool was nice but unfortunately blue paint came off onto your feet and hands.
Nikos was kind and helped us with boat hire and suggestions and we enjoyed the staff especially Vanya & David who were friendly and attentive.
I know they are upgrading many of the rooms but the overall building just needs some regular maintenance though for Greece this is quite typical.
I would recommend as the price it's good value, the food very good and of course that view. A very enjoyable stay.

Room Tip: Road level rooms - centre with balcony is large and spacious.

“Great experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

I agree with most of the reviews posted.

Location: It was a great place, central to Corfu Town with only a 20 min or so drive, close to Ipsos which had tons of restaurants. However, it wasn't in a particular town, so to get to a bus or market would be a walk for someone who didn't have a car/ATV/scooter. On the other hand, it's very quiet in the room at night which is a plus.

Rooms: It was a very roomy apartment, very clean, with great view of the pool and ocean view. However, we found the mattress too old as we felt every spring which was quite uncomfortable(reason for one less star). For the price and only 5 nights, we are ok with it.

Service: Nikos and his staff were great and friendly. We arrived late at around 11pm, and Nikos was there waiting for us, and although the kitchen was already closed, he offered to prepare salads for us (which was delicious!). We also liked the fact that there was always someone by the poolside/restaurant if we had questions.

Overall, great experience!

“Great hotel, beautiful views, very relaxing and highly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

people found this review helpful

Just got back from 10 days at Oceanis Rooms and loved every moment of it. There is so much to say, I hope I manage to get it all in the review to encourage people to go there! Nikos, the owner, and the rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful, happy to sit and chat to you but also not at all intrusive if they saw that we were having a romantic evening meal.

I came with my boyfriend, both in our early 20s, and we were looking for a relaxing holiday in a pretty area. We are both students so like to shop around for cheap deals and were so surprised by the quality of the hotel for the price.

ROOM:

We had the smallest room which was more than adequate for 2 people - small kitchenette with fridge, sink, 2 hot plates and all cutlery/pots and pans. It also had a balcony with chairs and a table which was great to sit out in the evening before going down to the restaurant. It was cleaned thoroughly every day and the hotel was generally exceptionally clean and well kept. The room had a small tv with Greek channels, but I don't see why you would need to watch TV and Air Con which was very effective and a life saver if you ever choose to walk into town in the midday heat! There was also free Wifi by the pool and restaurant, which was a bonus as it wasn't advertised on the website, and it reached to our balcony and in some areas of the room. There are computers in the inside bar if you don't want to bring your own laptop/smartphone.

The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning and at Oceanis, every single room has a sea view where you can see both sunrise and sunset. I think the larger apartments at the top have a larger terrace.

POOL:

The pool is a very decent size for the amount of people staying at the hotel, and there are also steps down to a small private rocky beach which was another bonus. The pool has lots of sun loungers and some inflatables and was very clean and seemed safe for children (i think just over a metre deep at the shallow end). There is also a larger beach 100m north of Oceanis called Glyfa, which has more than enough space for sunbathing, and the main organised Barbati beach is about 25 mins walk south along the road.

AREA:

The village is about 15-25 mins walk depending how far you go along. There are 2 minimarkets - Servos is the closest to Oceanis, on walking into the village you have to turn right up a steep hill with a sign to Pantokrater Hotel. Then there's one past the turn down to the organised beach, called Yannis I think. Both sold the basics like pasta, tinned vegetables, cold meats, fresh salad, drinks, and some holiday stuff like inflatables, hats, sunglasses. They were both quite expensive if you consider the exchange rate from £ to € at the moment, and neither really sold fresh meat which limited what you could cook.

There are a decent amount of restaurants in town all serving the same kind of food. We only ate out of the hotel once in Barbati (at Lord Byron which was nice enough), because the food at Oceanis was very nice and very reasonably priced. We noticed that many people seemed to come to the restaurant at the hotel even if they weren't staying there - which is always a good sign!

HOTEL RESTAURANT:

We ate at the Oceanis restaurant a number of times despite having the kitchenette, and to be honest with the high price of food in the shops, it was almost worth it to eat at the restaurant rather than cook. Mains were about €7-15 and a large greek salad, which i think would fill most people was €6.50, but we often just got a selection of bread and appetizers (baked feta, tzaziki, fried courgettes, sardines etc.) which were around €3.50-6 and 3 or 4 would fill 2 people no problem. Drinks were also very well priced, especially unbranded wine at just €2 a large glass or a large bottle of Mythos beer for €2.80.

The area itself is very nice, fairly quiet - no real nightlife, which we didn't want anyway, but nice bars and good atmosphere even though we were late in the season. The organised beach at Barbati has watersports and boat hire. Ask Nikos to organise for you to hire a boat one day - we paid €60 for the boat all day plus €30 petrol (you pay for what you use), and they picked us up to take us to the beach and dropped us off at the hotel when we were finished. If you are more active there are all the usual waterskiing, parasailing etc, which you could see all day going past the hotel in the sea.

OVERALL

Can't recommend it enough - for couples or families, or groups of friends wanting a chilled out holiday for a very reasonable price.

And to top it off - a perfect surprise as we watched the sunrise from our balcony, waiting for our transfer on the last morning - dolphins doing flips in the sea!
