4-Star Hotels in Ionian Islands, Greece

Room & Amenities We stayed at Hotel Art Debono in Corfu and overall had a pleasant stay. The rooms were spacious and had a cosy, home-like feel. Personally, I prefer a more modern style, but if you enjoy a homely atmosphere, the rooms are comfortable and inviting. Some of the furniture, particularly around the bathroom area, was beginning to show its age and could benefit from some refreshing. The room amenities were fairly good. A 1-litre bottle of water was provided, and pool towels were already placed in the wardrobe, which was convenient. There was an amenity kit and shower cap, although no toothbrushes were provided. The slippers were quite flimsy. The bathroom had several mini conditioner bottles, and the shower area contained a combined body and hair wash as well as a bottle labelled as body and hair moisturiser, which seemed like an unusual place to keep it. One thing I appreciated was the water quality. After washing my hair, it didn't feel dry or heavy like it often does in very hard water areas such as London. Bathroom The bathroom was functional and clean, although I wasn't particularly fond of the pebble flooring in the shower area. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I personally prefer a smoother floor surface. Breakfast Breakfast was one of the highlights of the stay. There was a very wide selection of both hot and cold items, including English-style breakfast options, fresh and dried fruits, honeycomb, smoothies, and a make-your-own herbal tea station. The quality was good, and there was plenty of variety to keep things interesting over several mornings. Facilities The hotel has a comfortable lounge area with a television, plenty of sofas, and tables where guests can relax with a drink or play some of the board games provided. The pool was a decent size for the hotel, with plenty of sunbeds available. We arrived at the pool around 3 pm after check-in and still had no problem finding space. There were also two shaded canopy beds near the jacuzzi pool which were free to use, although they faced directly towards the pool and surrounding sunbeds, so they offered shade rather than privacy. The pool bar was reasonably priced. By European standards, the prices were very fair and seemed typical for Corfu. We tried some food there and found it to be good and reasonably priced. There is no spa on site. Massage treatments are arranged through an external company, and therapists come to your room when booked through the hotel. Service The reception staff were friendly and always greeted us with a smile. They weren't particularly chatty, but they were pleasant and professional throughout our stay. Upon arrival, we were offered a welcome drink, and the lemonade was especially refreshing. It was also available during breakfast, which was a nice touch. On checkout, we were given a small farewell gift consisting of three jars of local honey, which was a thoughtful gesture and a lovely souvenir to take home. Location The hotel is in a relatively quiet area. It was around a 10-minute walk to the nearest supermarket and approximately 15 to 20 minutes on foot to restaurants and souvenir shops. The location suited us well as it was peaceful while still being within walking distance of amenities. Overall Hotel Art Debono provided a comfortable and relaxing stay. The excellent breakfast, pleasant pool area, thoughtful touches such as the welcome drink and farewell gift, and friendly staff all contributed to a positive experience. Some areas, particularly the ageing furniture and a few of the room details, could do with updating, but overall it was a comfortable hotel that offered good value and a peaceful atmosphere.

Unfortunately there was not much to enjoy at this hotel. I can say that the pool was lovely and perfect for relaxing Our experience was that a very negative one. . It was disappointing to find no one to greet you. Upon entering reception I stood there for a good 5 minutes while the reception staff continued to have a conversation between themselves. One of them said in Greek look she's waiting for a room and the other one said let her wait a minute. Not realizing that I was Greek myself. They mistook me for a person who didn't know the language. Once she finally got to me she gave us a room which we didn't book. We were looking at trees instead of a pool view. We paid for breakfast for two only to be told only 1 could have breakfast. They wanted more money for it. It is the only 4 star hotel that has no room tab. They make you pay on the spot. Dinner was overpriced and we got hurried out. So we could not enjoy anything. As soon as I took my last note not even having finished my drink the waiter said sorry but you must pay and leave The management need to have the staff attend a training program on warmth and how to treat guests. When we were at the pool one of the staff was cursing a group of young girls who had just finished their lunch. Calling them useless b......s And **** tourists. Again this was disgusting to here. If we could have left on the first day we would have. No room service was available to us as our phone in the room did not work we were in 403. The room was very noisy eith the planes taking off and landing until 1 am. If your thinking of booking this hotel don't do yourselves a favour and look for something else.

Overall we had a great stay! The staff was super friendly and welcoming — thank you for that. The hotel is located higher up the hill than we expected, so keep in mind that if you don’t rent a car, you’ll need to walk quite a bit up and down to get to the beach. The property is clean and well maintained. Our room was smaller than we expected, but clean enough. The bed and pillows were super comfortable, which was a big plus! There’s a small issue with the toilet — the flush tank takes a really long time to refill and it’s quite noisy. Also, there was no microwave, no salt/pepper/oil, and only one bread knife, so cooking was a bit limited. Just a very basic set of kitchenware. Wi-Fi in the room was pretty much unusable. The only place we could get any signal was near the balcony — and even there it wasn’t good enough for a video call. If you plan to work remotely like we did, either ask for a room with better connection or be prepared to work outside, where the internet was great. They provide two 1.5L bottles of water at check-in, but after that you’ll need to buy your own. A bottle costs €3. We didn’t try the breakfast, so can’t comment on the food or variety. The pool was clean, which was nice!

I stayed at Sun Resort for a friend's wedding on Cameo Island, and it proved to be the perfect location. The island was only around a 10-minute walk away, which made getting to and from the wedding very easy. One of the things we particularly liked was that the resort was away from the busy strip, providing a more relaxed atmosphere, while still being only a short taxi ride away if you wanted to visit the nightlife and local attractions. Our room was clean and tidy, and the resort overall was well maintained. The food selection included in the all-inclusive package was varied, with plenty of options available throughout our stay. While the food was good, it was not quite the best we have experienced at an all-inclusive resort. The only thing we felt was missing was some form of evening entertainment at the resort. Aside from that, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily recommend it as a good place to stay, especially for anyone attending an event or wedding on Cameo Island.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly, which made our visit particularly pleasant. All our wishes were fulfilled quickly and without any hassle. The rooms are very modern and equipped with everything you need. We were impressed by the high quality of the furnishings and the cleanliness. The dining options are top-notch. The food was always of the highest standard, both in taste and presentation. The hotel facilities are also excellently maintained. The gardens, loungers, and pools are in pristine condition and invite you to relax. While there is no direct access to the sea, the hotel offers plenty of free parking, allowing you to reach the island’s most beautiful beaches in just a few minutes. We can highly recommend this hotel and are already looking forward to our next stay.

Here’s a polished, natural review: We had a wonderful stay here. The location is excellent, just a 5–10 minute walk to the town, with plenty of great restaurants, bars, and nightlife nearby. The property also has a fantastic private parking facility, which made things very convenient. A special mention to Maria Ioli Zyga at reception, who was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. She kindly arranged both an early check-in and a late check-out for us, which we really appreciated. Her friendly and helpful attitude made our stay even better. While the property doesn’t offer scenic views, the rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Combined with the great location and outstanding service, it was an excellent place to stay. We would definitely recommend it.

Staff were excellent, friendly, polite, always willing to help and guide. Big shout out to Evelyn - fountain of knowledge! Breakfast plentiful , regularly topped up. Only downside was occasional ‘ greedy’ guest who thought it ok to load plates . Pool was superb, pool bar was never rammed so seating plentiful. Always choice of sun beds. Parking is opposite hotel - if coming from Skala it is on right hand side ( sharp turn down slope). Great value for money . We had sea view room which was spacious, always cleaned . Decent size balcony . Recommendation - all guests to be shown pool rules including no diving and don’t take drinks glasses to your sunbed

The location is more than an hour drive from the airport unless you have a chauffeur or coach service booked. The room were nice and comfy but we were attacked by ants in our room which I guess is a common problem in the island. On our check out day, there was a national electricity breakdown at 8 am and the hotel staff wouldn't help by extending our checkout time by an hour. The electricity was restored at 12 pm but we were forced to empty the room at 11 am sharp. Overall, good activities at the resort and just across is a nice beach but you have to exit the resort to get to the sandy beach.
