Summertime Apts

I know your reading through all the reviews thinking surely this place is not as bad as people are saying, take it from someone who made that very mistake! ITS HORRIFIC AND YOU WILL REGRET IT! Yes its dirt cheap but honestly the rooms are awful, dated and smelly. The amount of mosquitos is unbearable! And dont even get me started on the food! We went all inclusive, if you can call it that, we only ate there once and refused to go back! We had no sleep whilst staying here due to karaoke going on all night long, we even contemplated paying for a different hotel! Its such a shame as the location of the hotel is great but honestly not worth it! The area is perfect and there are some lovely hotels around just not this one! Needless to say we won't be returning to the Summertime Sadness ever again!

Arrived after midnight and was greeted by a happy gentleman named George, showed us to our room which we shared with our 7yr old daughter and 15 month old son, travel cot ready, 2 single beds and a double - great! Beds - are MAJORLY UNCOMFORTABLE :( both myself and partner were in agony, comparison very much like laying on a floor! This said they were clean, changed every other day as well as towels - the cleaners are lovely! Very happy, polite and appear jolly for any conversation! Rooms are basic, dated.. do the job for getting the head down. Bad side is the room became damp.. clothes in suitcases were damp.. bedding felt damp - even the night wear youd slept in 😕 - you couldn’t not sleep in nightwear due to the amount of mosquito we endured within the week! Between 3 of us we collected over a 100 bites 😳😂 All inclusive? Hmm.. there’s possibly a choice of 8 dishes per each meal time .. very very limited - no fresh fruit for snacks for the kids 🤷🏼‍♀️ We ended up eating out 5 nights out of 7 due to the poor section of food. If you like chips, nuggets and spaghetti every tea time - you’ll enjoy it 😳 Now we’re by no means fussy, we’re pretty happy like a pig in sh*t- but we were slightly disappointed compared to a previous all inclusive we had stayed in for the same price earlier in the year. Restaurant was clean, tidy.. with a side audience of cats.. plenty of them, waiting for scraps or having a scrap 🤦🏼‍♀️ or just causally jumping on the tables to eat the food left on plates left unattended 😩 Pool area is nice, pool is COLD but I guess refreshing.. kids loved it! Now for the best bit.. YOU MUST SEE THE BEACH COVES IN SIDARI - 5 in total - and there absolutely stunning! The water is warm, clear and active with little fish swimming around your feet! There is the opportunity to go diving off the cliffs on some of them which you’ll see many people do and the tricks using the current to get back out is an art - but you get it :) With us visiting in the October school holidays most places were closed as expected but places are still open for the locals which we was made welcome in, partner really enjoy a traditional Greek breakfast and my daughter the warm waffles, Nutella sauce and fresh strawberries! Meals for the amount you pay are amazing, most nights fed 4 of us for €20-24! 1 night we went to a restaurant that looks like china town and it was absolutely amazing! Best Chinese food we’d ever eaten - even in England! Ok ok.. I’ll cut the story short., Personally, there are plenty of nicer hotels about especially near the beaches and mountains - you get what you pay for. We Will 100% be returning to sidari as a family next year, not to summertime village though. If we hadn’t of hired of a car for 4 days I don’t think we would of enjoyed our holiday as much as we have if we had to sit by the pool all week! If your Coming to Corfu you must hire a car and see the sites, the beaches and buildings are amazing! The views from the mountains are something else.. !

We went on the beginning of October and our friend her suitcases went mouldy and some of her clothes she had to throw the clothes away it took him 2 1/2 hours to change her room and we had mould on our curtain in the room I told them about the air-con twice and it never got sorted and there was a tale broke next to the kids swimming pool
