Grande Mare Hotel - Benitses

Just checked in today, no running water, WiFi, or air conditioning. Was not told of any issues on check-in not offered any room change as all rooms affected. Very disappointed no word on when services will resume no offer of any compensation at all.

Beautiful view, but thats all. The hotel should be renovated. Wellnes? Where? The beach is direct to the hotel, but dirty. The stuff is not very communicated. All inclusiv dont worth it in greece. Outside everywhere can you better eat. The beds are very hard, if you like it doesnt matter! The bedslides war clean. The air condition is very ugly, better you dont turn it on! 4 stars? maybe 2 or 3. Good localisation, the airport is not far away. The city Benitses is very close. The reception forget to give important informations. we were disappointed:(

This hotel has got several problems. At first the meal is terrible in the restaurant. The meal is the same each day. The second problem is a beach - no Sand, no sun bed or destroyed and everywhere is a mess. There is hotel Beach (30m) from hotel, but the way to beach is over the local road, but it's not a local road, it's a main road on the east coast. The third problem is an accomodation. This hotel has got 1 star at the moment. My holiday is one big Grande nightmare...

Perfect get away. The dated interior and design choices takes you back to what must have been the hotels time of greatness in the 90's. It's a perfect timepiece and break from..everything. the beach is 4 minutes away, with perfectly clear waters, great stony beach and few people. Walk 10 minutes to Benitses for dinner or take the bus back to Keykira in 40 minutes for sightseeing. For us it was the ultimate place to end our vacation, but two-three nights was enough to get properly relax.

Dissatisfied with the room service (cleanliness, changing of linens, towels, toilet paper etc.) The beach that was accessed from the hotel was in miserable condition and nothing like the pictures Common areas had no proper lighting and we had to use flashlights to go around Very much overpriced for what this hotel offers I incurred additional fees because the hotel charged my credit card even though in the questionnaire I had requested to pay cash at the hotel. I would not go again and definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone The only things I liked were: Location of the hotel and the sea view The fact that hotel was close with main cities The pool

Awful. Avoid it. This is not a luxury hotel. It strangles to be a 1 star hotel. Although the views are great, the rooms are clean and quite large and the pool is ok, the hotel is unfortunately horrible. The rooms have old tube TVs. And they don't receive even a single channel. Not even the Greek national ones. WiFi coverage exists, but there is not enough internet connectivity. During the night it is ok, but any time in the day, you can't access the internet (forget about uploading your photos or making video calls, you will be lucky to receive your emails). There is not spa. You can find just an empty room at the point the spa should be. There is no gym. Just an obsolete room with old gym equipment parked. The pool bar is a joke. Don't expect decent drings or cocktails here. The restaurant is some kind of cetairing for all-inclusive guests, operating just a few hours per day with a buffet. You can't order even a toast. It is closed most of the time. Even for the breakfast, the employees shutdown everything at 10 o'clock sharp - they don't even care if you finished your breakfast or not. Room cleaning service is run every 2 days. If you miss your slot (you want to sleep a few hours more because you had a party last night), your room will be cleaned 2 days later (4 days in total). There is no room service. Pretty obvious since the bar has one employee and the reception another one. The rooms are not maintained adequately and are missing even basic equipment. For example the baths are extremely slippery - I had to buy and install anti-slip pads myself. There was no wet dresser and I had to demand one, for them to go and buy one (literally, yes they sent someone to buy it) for my room. Any arrangement you do before you arrive here will be silently ignored. I booked a suite and we had agreed (even in writing) for 4 full beds. At the phone they said "this is why we call it a suite - we arrange it the way the customer wants". The room had 2 single beds, 1 sofa bed and 1 foldable divan. I had to threaten them that I'll call tourist police to have them install beds! Hotel employees are not happy. They make jokes of the hotel management. They are probably underpaid (or even illegally working). Generally, no one cares for your vacations in this hotel. Do not use it for your visit to Corfu. The hotel owners don't respect your vacations and your money. For what this hotel offers, it is extremely expensive.

Please dont bring your family hear nothing to do the hotel is a ghost town. This place is not suitable for elderly or children. I would say it's more like a hide away for couples. Eating out is a must. You'll get your money worth dinning out instead. The food hear is not desirable or edible. Old reviews on trip adviser how are they rated 4 star I don't know. The views may be lovely and weather hot. Please dont consider unless you just want a room for a sleep over Trust me I'm only on my first day don't know if we can make it to 7 days It's not fear on the children either.

We loved our stay! The management is super friendly and the place was very beautiful, needless to say the sea view room was an incredible bonus. We stayed here for a week and would absolutely love to come back.
