Agios Gordios, Agios Gordios Hotel

After many. Pleasureable trips to the Agios Gordios. Hotel we have returned somewhat disillusioned this time , we have got to say that the food was in the main pretty awful , gone are the nice cuts. Of meat such as nice pieces of chicken or turkey , to be offered cheese. Pie in repetitive doses . Also the gardens are an absolute disgrace . I must say that the staff are wonderful , nothing is too much trouble & each and every one of them are very friendly and do there best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible . But I have to say that the views and local villages are as beautiful as ever. Tom the Thomson rep is brilliant always pleasant and helpful . mr & mrs jones . North. Wales

If you are the type who does not like to move from your resort when you get there and like to spend all day on the beach and the night in a bar then this is the place for you. There is nothing except the beach for kids.

The Agios Gordios Hotel resort is an excellent place to take a holiday. As we booked this holiday last minute we were not sure what to expect, but we were not disappointed. The resort of St George South has many bars and restaurants, which cater for all tastes. My boyfriend and I although being quite young, tend to try and stay away from resorts such as Kavos, and Falaraki, and this is an ideal base for a quite relaxing holiday. There are a variety of different eateries, even a Chinese and Italian if you that's what you fancy! The tavernas themselves are all reasonably priced still far cheaper than England. There are a variety of cocktails bars that have very extensive menus, but be careful as the Greek measures are far larger than England! My favourite of the cocktail bars was Stamatis, the only bar to used crushed ice simply divine!!!

The beach is simply fantastic in the resort, one of the best in Corfu. The water is very clear and is shallow quite far out, ideal for children. There are a selection of bars and tavernas that are on the sea front, and have fantastic views, and magnificent sunsets. The best spots on the beach are towards the sand dunes, and you can hire pedeloes or do a variety of water sports here. The sun beds are quite cheap, €5 for the whole day for 2 beds umbrella, and table, this is one of the cheapest we have ever seen in Greece.

The Blue Diamond Studios are in an excellent location, just a 5 minute wall to bars and tavernas. There are also a number of supermarkets, the best being to the left of the Studios, called Warehouse. The owners of this supermarket are very friendly, and always greet you with a warm smile. The Studios are set in beautiful gardens, and have a lovely pool and bar. The pool is never busy and is extremely clean and well maintained.

The rooms are quite new, and are well equipped for Greek accommodation (an oven!!). The only advice I would give is to take a fan, we found it a lifesaver as at this time of year the rooms get very hot at night (you can hire fans from the pool bar). I also advise to take a mosquito plug in as they are rife in this part of Corfu. The studios are cleaned every day, but beware the maids seemed to be getting earlier and earlier!! The check out time for rooms is 12, but you can keep the rooms till 6 for only €20, if you had a later flight.

As we were only there for a week the only trip we took was to Corfu town. As we have been to Corfu before we knew this was well worth the visit as it is a lovely town. It takes about 40 minutes from St George, but upon arrival you will see its overwhelming beauty. The town is great for shopping, with lovely cobbled streets containing numerous little shops. My advice would be to go at night or evening as the harbour and streets light up, and they seem to come alive at night, plus it is very hot in the daytime!

This was a fantastic holiday and the resort certainly caters for all ages. The Blue Diamond studios are an ideal setting for a perfect holiday!!!!!
