Labranda Sandy Beach Resort
St George South, Corfu

Mrs E Rafinska-grzesik, High Wycombe

Room was spacious but very uncomfortable bed, after 7 days I was in agony so wouldn't recommend for someone with back issues unless you get refurbished room with good quality mattress. Pools were big and clean, always plenty sun loungers to choose a good spot. We had fridge in our room and safe (paid).

Food was good, nice variety and freshly bakes pizza in Italian restaurant. We were very unlucky and had a noisy neighbours next door who were having a party in their room at 2am! Fantastic animation and Entertainment Team!

Good location just by the beach which was very nice and clean. The transfer we booked with sunshine (Lord Travel) was absolutely amazing, no delays whatsoever.

Hotel needs refurbishment across most of the site, if you get A, B or C block you will be fine. Very busy hotel complex. Staff are excellent but as normal understaffed. Queues for drinks etc as normal for AI. Resort is very quiet.

Mrs J Power, Canvey Island

We were given the wrong sized accommodation initially and had to move on our second day there. They did however give us free massages as an apology. Julia gives an awesome massage! As a vegetarian the choice of food was better than when we were here a few years ago. If you didn't get down to a pool early enough to leave your towels on sun beds you would not get a bed at any pool as it was so busy. Kids loved the pool with the flumes and we went there most days. Had a few problems with the rooms we had (two family apartments), there was a wasp nest on the balcony of one which they didn't really manage to get rid of the whole ten days we were there. A door to the bedroom of one apartment fell off the hinges, a plug didn't keep the water in the sink, the main doors stopped working, and one of the first rooms we were put into had a leak from the sink resulting in a wall being completely wet and all the bedding damp. This is the third time we have stayed here and the food was better than before, the staff are always quite good, but it was busier and the apartments were poor this time.

Mr M Lacy, Waterlooville

The staff were miserable, reception on arrival was chaotic, the staff had no idea which customer to serve leaving us waiting when they could see we had just arrived with young children. No real information about where to find everything so we totally missed the Italian restaurant. Smoking was allowed everywhere and many smoked close to the children. The food however was excellent. Cleanliness was only 3* in my opinion.

Mr M Bond, Warrington

Check in was chaos, waited 45 minutes to be told the room wasn't ready and come back after 2pm. Good selection of food, but needed to be hotter. A classic example is the fried eggs in the morning, why not light the candles underneath the food trays to keep them warm? Drinks we're OK but not great, the mixers were all very sweet as on draft, been to other all inclusive hotels and you get bottled diet coke, the mixer makes a big difference.

Mrs J Holyland, Rochford

Had every thing you need for a good family holiday, animation team great, always chatty and enthusiastic. Food ok, same choice at breakfasts, good pizza from the Italian restaurant though.

Mr D Parkin, Dagenham

Amazing hotel, always clean and kept in great condition, food was always lovely, friendly staff. Well equipped for families, great location right on the beach.

Mr C Robinson, Ferryhill

Clean, friendly staff, plenty to do.

Mr A Cadman, Mexborough

Good good.

Mr I Al-shekhly, Leicester

Good place to go with kids.

Mr P Jones, Coventry

If you like mould on the bedroom ceiling and only get hot water on four of twelve days to shave and shower with at 6-30pm, this is the hotel for you. On the other eight days the water was either cold or stopped half way through the shower leaving you to wait at least half an hour for cold water. Great pity because the cleaner did a great job on the room and all the staff were excellent. Food very good, with a good choice. This is a good hotel for families, but cannot recommend it for couples or older people. Would not return.

Mr T Pierce, Canvey Island

Too large. People with walking problems and wheelchairs have difficulty getting around and all the restaurants and bars are spread too far apart. All the entertainment is outside and at this time of the year it is too cold. Also the food in the restaurants is nearly cold so is not enjoyable. We have never been to a place with so many wasps, flys and mosquitos, everybody was complaining about being bitten. They don't spray anywhere because they say it's a conservation area. We are not the only people to be disappointed with this holiday everyone was complaining. You could not get any food after 9.30pm when the dining room closed and there is nowhere outside close enough to get anything. When we arrived all we got was a stale sandwich, an apple and bottle of water not even a cup of coffee and we'd been travelling most of the day. Would not recommend this Hotel. Does not rate the stars it has been given. The pillows were a disgrace and the beds must have been there years. Some staff were very nice but others sullen.

Mrs J Tilson, Andover

I had been before so knew what to expect, which was pretty good. Had to wait an hour for my return Speedy Transfer, while most others went off in their coach almost straight away and I returned in a coach with others, so would not recommend spending the extra. Room was not ready as I had expected, so went into singles/couples dining room, which is quite new. Reception service was efficient if lacking in friendliness but they are extraordinarily busy most of the time, so it is to be expected.

Back to dining room, ok if you want silence. Reminded me of a library and no atmosphere and I only used it one more time in eight days and not all the foods were available, so a lot of people went into the other dining room to fetch other foods; not allowed to bring in pizzas from the Italian restaurant "Gusto di Sandy". That was my favourite for lunch, sitting outside on the verandah, helping yourself to wine, beer, cheese, pizza, meat, shark, chips and loads of salad, most things in fact. Lots of rabbit, veal, some chicken, squid, lamb but I saw no beef steaks, only mince for spaghetti etc.

Key ready for room after lunch but it was quite close to the kitchen and the noise of crockery being handled was not acceptable to me, so I asked to be moved, which was dealt with reasonable tolerance and walked back to reception to pick up new key. New room was much quieter and nearer the sea but had to carry my suitcase up 18 steps and I am a single 68 year old lady but managed eventually. I blew the fuse plugging in my phone charger and as phone didn't work, I had to walk back to reception, electrician organised and met him at my room where he showed me the fuse box, so I knew for future reference to push up the switch. Fridge in room was near wardrobe, nice TV and balcony, side view of sea. Dining room staff worked tirelessly clearing tables and lots of staff, salt and pepper always full and food pretty good but not keen on the coffee, had a tang of chlorine about it. All inclusive drinks OK, vodka and wine and lovely to have water dispensers at pool bars, to fill up smaller bottles for drinking in room and ice cream on tap for all to use next to the water dispensers.

I accompanied a German guy in a French boules session which was fun and went to a yoga class and a stretching class outside, in front of the stage. All was a good experience. I wanted to go on a jet ski on my last day but it was very windy and cloudy so I didn't feel confident enough to go in that weather. There is a little red train that for 6 euros you can travel around the holiday complex and go to the end of the road at the other side of town and back again. Not bad! The tavernas in town looked very quiet during the day but probably livened up at night and some had football on TV but I didn't use. It was good to be in the sun again, good service, enough people around so you didn't stand out, a few odd smells here and there but I could find nothing bad to say about the hotel or the surrounding area. Obviously Greece is experiencing great financial difficulties, so it would be silly to expect everything to be perfect. I would definitely recommend. Nearly forgot, there was always a security guard at the entrance where the hotel meets the beach.

Nice hotel, don't go if you don't like children. Rooms basic but it is Greece. Staff not that friendly but I think it's because it's such a big place. The animation team were very good and always tried to get people involved in the activities. The steps leading to our room were not swept in the 7 days we were there, which was a bit disappointing.

Miss K Winter, Romford

We had an amazing time, the rooms were clean and serviceable. However great people working there made the most of our holiday. They were very friendly and seemed to enjoy their work. Wonderful place, food and choice available were all fantastic. Can't wait to see them all again.
