“Our 2007 honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel should be number one. Me and my wife stayed here in august 2007. Back then I had a problem with food ( I was the worst fussy eater) I can honestly say I enjoyed every bit of food every day.

All staff were great and the entertainment was good as well and made sure you were entertained.

The hotel was spotless and fresh linen every day. That's all that needs to be said about that

I have been to around 15 all inclusive hotels and payed more and still this is by far the best hotel ive stayed in.

The only thing that let me down on this holiday is that we stayed for a week we should of stayed longer.

Hopefully we are going back august 2012 to celebrate our 5th anniversary and yes it will be for two weeks.

“Excellent hotel.Highly recommended.Book IT.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

people found this review helpful

I was very impressed with firstly, Penelope the Front Office Manager. So kind and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful time and the things you did to make my stay such a pleasant one.
However- all the staff need a mention, as they are polite, helpful and hard working. Thanks also to my room attendant for tidying up after me every day!!

Next, I was more than happy with the food and drinks service. Amazing selection of cocktails included in the drinks menu. Sparkling wine for breakfast. Extensive range of fresh fruits and salads EVERY meal. You will NOT go hungry here. Fresh gyros lunch and dinner. Homemade soup every evening.

My room had a queen sized bed (a hard bed but it suits my back) and sea view. Nice bathroom with powerful shower. More than enough space but then again I travel light due to previous "overpacking."

The ONLY downside and it's not really the fault of the hotel - loads of cigarette ends on the beach.YUK YUK!!! The sea is gorgeous for swimming and snorkelling though.Take jelly shoes.

I am now keen to try some more Louis Hotels because I think they are an excellent brand. Booked with Olympic Holidays accommodation only. Worked out much cheaper than a package.

Book and go, you won't be disappointed.

Room Tip: Ask at reception, they are very helpful.

“Nothing special and I wouldn’t say its value for money.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

When looking for a holiday, I read the reviews on trip adviser regarding the Louis Regency Beach Hotel, so was really surprised the hotel didn’t live up to the high recommendation it got from people who had previously stayed here.

While the hotel is clean and the staff polite, the room is much smaller than seen on the web. A double room had one small closet with 6 hangers and next to know draw space. The beds are so hard I got up with a bad back every morning.

The restaurant is small, and food is basic. Snacks consist of cheese & ham sandwiches already made up. Bars more often than not had one person serving, which meant queuing some time to get a drink.

The entertainment was so poor, most people left after a short while, or when they got more bored to tears watching it than doing nothing at all.

When they say it’s a 15-20min walk to town, what they should tell you is it’s 30-45 mins on a main road with no pavement (comparable to a duel carriage way).

The pool at top of the hotel, where the children’s play area is was so dirty you couldn’t see the bottom. As this is max 4 feet deep, and after I had watch the pool man clean it, it wasn’t very impressive, and not something you’d expect from a 4star (which in my opinion this hotel isn’t).
If you get a cheap deal and want a week doing nothing then go here. If paying the full price as we did, I wouldn’t say its value for money.

Dear guest,

First we would like to thank you for choosing the Louis Regency Beach for your holiday after reading positive reviews on Tripadvisor.

We are happy that your overall stay was enjoyable, however, we are disappointed that not all our services met up with your expectations. Tripadvisor is a great tool and enables our guests to make up a better idea of what they will experience when staying with us, however, it becomes a bigger challenge for us fulfill all your needs because of the higher expectations you may have.

We feel that our hotel meets the expectations of its target customers, and if yours are a little bit higher, we would urge you to visit some of our other properties like the Louis Zante Beach in Zakynthos, the Louis Phaethon Beach in Cyprus or the Louis Kerkyra Golf in Corfu.

Thank you once again for your comments and best regards

“Enjoyable Return to Regency Beach.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

We arrived after midnight but were checked in quite quickly and were allocated a sea view room as requested. The recent renovations are a definite improvement, very clean fully working bathroom, new wardrobes etc so plenty of space in a smallish room overall.Fridge refilled with water, very welcome in the very high temperatures we had for Sept.Rooms were cleaned every day although no toiletries only shower gel.
All the staff here are very friendly, as returning guests we would like to thank all the hardworking staff especially Roberta for helping us with our air con,and the bar staff for battling with the wasps(but they wouldn't put us off going again).
Our last visit the Hotel was managed by Iberostar, we feel the bar needs to allow guests to pour their own beer and soft drinks ,like before, and we did miss having lunch on the beach.If the wasps have proved such a problem perhaps the hotel should consider updating the beach restaurant to be partly air conditioned with facilities inside with a smaller outdoor terrace.
We very much enjoyed having a drink on the roof terrace in the evenings, which wasn't open before, not only did it keep you cooler the views of Corfu and the mainland were excellent.
We would still recommend this hotel to family and friends and had a great holiday.
We visited Corfu Town on the local bus, very easy as the bus stop is outside the hotel, and went to Paleokastritsa with friends, beautiful place.
Thank You Regency Beach.
Hope to see you sometime in the future.

Dear loyal guest,

Your review about the Louis Regency Beach is much welcomed and we would like to thank you for choosing our hotel for your holiday.

We are delighted that you were satisfied with the recent renovations and that you much appreciated our hotel's facilities and services.

Rest assured that your kind thoughts about our friendly staff members will benefit to them.

Your suggestion regarding the self service for soft drinks has been addressed to our management and we will look into it for our improvement. We appreciate that some guest prefer it like this, but we have tried to upgrade our services by offering table service.
Your suggestion regarding lunch is not unreasonable, but it has been tried and tested in other hotels. Even within an enclosed air-conditioned space, the doors must be kept open so guests could go in and out. If guests can go in and out, so can the wasps, and then we end up with an enclosed restaurant full of wasps. Please understand that we feel that the current solution is the most appropriate for the moment, but we are always open to new suggestions.

Thank you for recommending The Louis Regency Beach in Corfu, and we look forward to welcoming you in the nearest future.

Yours sincerely

“Fantastic Week in Corfu--Thank you Louis Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We recently returned from a fantastic week's holiday at Louis Hotel. We were nervous travelling with a 5 month old and 2 year old, but the week exceeded our expectations and was great for kids and adults alike. The food and drink was fantastic. There were always plenty of fresh, delicious options for everyone and I was quite impressed with the food. Cocktails and wine were great as well--and we certainly enjoyed the pool and beach bars! The sea/beach was great for small children. We didn't mind the pebbles, in fact they were quite nice in contrast to having sand stuck to you/your kids and the sea was clear, clean and warm and you could see lots of fish. We brought snorkel gear which is recommended as there was no place to hire any kit. Later in the day once it had cooled off, we could sit on the loungers a few feet from the sea and watch our toddler safely play in the water. The pool was also nice, especially in the morning. It was fairly quiet and relaxing, and the bar was open with snacks and drinks all day. Our room was clean and comfortable, (I loved our cleaning lady--she made such a fuss over our baby!) My only request would have been to have a bit more traditional Greek entertainment/music. The 6th floor was great in the evening, beautiful views and breezes, but the entertainment a bit cheesy for our liking. But the kids enjoyed it and well done to the Animation Team who work very hard. Overall, a great holiday for the price. It's hard to imagine anyone writing a poor review of this hotel, but there are always grumpy people out there who need to complain about something. Thanks again Louis Hotel.

Room Tip: We requested adjoining family rooms as my mum flew in from the States. They were able to accomodate...
