The hotel is in the perfect position for Arillas, Kosta and his family are so welcoming and cannot do enough for you, the rooms are basic, but for a sunshine holiday for our family was perfect, all linen was changed daily and rooms cleaned, the could not be faltered, our location was rooms 214 and 215 we had seen reviews regarding the noise from the Malibu Bar which was unnerving but this did not bother us at all, the 1 thing you have to realise is the time adjustment, breakfast is served until11 due to the fact Arillas will not wake up until 10 so we worked our 2 weeks from 10 until 2am which worked for us.
Both the Malibu and Coconut bars were excellent so accommodating with resident DJ Tony playing all your favourite hits.
We dinned every night in 12 different restaurants in fair ness they are all similar until you have the Greek dishes they all have a twist of their home recipe which was wonderful, just 2 to look out for , Akti hotel, Klefnico it is a must the Lamb is amazing and the Porinfino grandma Lamb ohh fantastic.
To summarise if you are thinking of going to Arillas, take plenty of sun cream for the amazing beach, stay at the Akti for the quiet pool and superb lunch menu as well as evening cocktails, and lastly take it all in as this is one of my most treasured memories.
Now to the important thing, cash, there are currently no problems in Corfu, all machines work and card are accepted,food for 4 including starters and all drinks came to no more than 60 euro, we never spent more than 140 euro in any one day , which is great value , if you have any further questions please ask, all the accounts above are our opinion of a great holiday. and wine
Overall the hotel is great and I cannot emphasis the family feel about the hotel. Stamatis, Kostas and especially Spiro make you fell like an extended part of family.
The pool is area is fantastic - great sunbeds with cushions, no loud music, chilled sounds that help you relax, and perfectly clean and tidy - a great place to capture the sun which shines on the sun terrace all day. The pool is very refreshing and ideal to cool off.
The room we were in was quite basic but did have everything we needed - comfortable beds - great pillows - good storage and a shower and loo. Cleaned daily and very regular changes of sheets and towels. We were told that this part of the hotel is to be upgraded next year but would have no real issues going back as it is.
The breakfast is quite basic but.... with cereal, toast, boiled eggs, meat, cheese, jams, yoghurt and honey and biscuits means you can have something different every day plus of course tea, coffee, and juice.
We had lunch at the hotel most days as is very reasonably priced. In fact we often didn't pay for our drinks and lunch until late in the evening and the odd occasion the next day - it was not a problem!!
We also had dinner a few times this was fine although we ate in around 6/7 restaurants and all were great - didn't have a bad meal anywhere and surprisingly cheaper than I thought at anything from 25 - 40 euros for a 3 course meal for 2 with a drink or two.
The bar area is a great place to have an early evening drink on the sun terrace or a night cap or two - Spiro will always look after you and he does mix great cocktails.
Most reviews about the Akti mention the bars opposite. The Coconut bar is not an issue in fact its a good bar and has some good live entertainment a few nights a week but the noise is controlled and done and dusted by 12.30 or 1.00 at the latest. The issue is the Mailbu bar which caters for children early on but does not turn the music down later on although it certainly was not the 3 or 4 o'clock as other have mentioned . However, for various reasons we had a couple of early nights and with some white noise - TV and Air con - it didn't really affect us.
So our advice is don't be too put off by this unless you want to go to bed on your holiday at 11.00 every night !!!
As a guide we intend going back and taking our 3 year old granddaughter so that might help put this in perspective - great hotel great service.
We were kindly given a quiet room in the main part of the hotel, as requested, does not hurt to ask. Our room was comfortable & kept immaculate. We had a very large balcony, and could watch the sunset over the mountains & sea, just perfect. The shower room was spacious & clean.
Breakfast was good, cereal, bread, biscuits, meat, cheese, boiled eggs, orange squash, tea & really good coffee. We did not have an evening meal at the hotel, but were advised very nice.
All the staff were so so helpful & friendly, could not have asked for more.
The pool was really nice, very comfortable loungers, and what I loved was the fact no one left towels on early morning to hold them. There were always free loungers.
The hotel was a very short walk to the beach, travernas, shops & bars. Very well situated.
Aircon was €5 per day, safety box (kept in reception) was free.
I have nothing bad to say about the Akti.....I shall return.
Rooms always clean and always made welcome by the family.
Not as noisy as other reviews suggest. No problem for us - already booked again for June 2016.

We had a room in the main hotel at the front (opposite the music bars, which were loud but didn't stop us sleeping!), the room was spacious with a lovely balcony, the bathroom had a shower over the bath (having a bath in Greece is a luxury!). All in all we were really pleased pleased with our room. Helena (the owners daughter) cleaned our room daily, she never disturbed us to do this but would wait for us to go out for the day, which I was impressed with as I hate being woken up by the cleaner!!
Spiros (the owners son) runs the bar, pool and restaurant area and takes pride in all that he does. His Vodka and Tonics are the best I have EVER tasted!
My partner was unwell at the end of our holiday and Spiros asked his Mama to make him some Rice Soup, which is what the family have when they feel unwell, it was lovely. Spiros also made a fantastic fresh mint & honey tea to soothe the aches and pains, the mint was picked fresh from the garden.
You will not beat this hotel anywhere in Arillas, the only negative is the noisy bars opposite but like I said after a few drinks with Sprios you will not even notice it!
