WONDERFUL HOTEL **** I can’t speak highly enough of my 10 night stay at The Paradise hotel. Despite arriving around 02.30 at night, I had a pleasant welcome from the night porter and was very pleased with my room, which was very well appointed with air-conditioning, tv, fridge and safe. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was a little old fashioned but fine, and the balcony had lovely views of the Pandokrator mountain range and the lush gardens. The self-service breakfast which is served between 07.30 and 10.30, was extremely good with an extensive choice of hot and cold food. There were different types of bread, fresh fruit, fruit juice, cereals, and cake for those with a sweet tooth! A choice of coffee and tea was available. Everything was very tasty, well presented and constantly topped up. The service was excellent! The hotel is situated above Gouvia, the gardens are beautifully kept, the swimming pool, whilst not very large, is really nice and the well-padded loungers around it are very comfortable. As there are plenty of beautiful old Olive and Palm trees, there is a choice of being in the sun or shade. This area is served by the Pool Bar which is open from early afternoon until about midnight, and which serves hot and cold snacks during the afternoon, as well as hot drinks (including English tea!!!) and of course, juices, wine etc. Once again, the service is absolutely terrific – thank you Harris and staff for making my stay so enjoyable - afternoon tea every day! After a short walk down the hill to the main road there is a bus stop (No. 7 bus) almost immediately to the left, which will take you into Corfu town, or a stop opposite which will take you further up the coast. Gouvia itself has a lovely smallish beach from which one can walk along the waterfront past the Venetian Boat Yard (historic building remains) to Gouvia Marina etc. There are also a few nice restaurants and the usual gift shops etc. What made my stay at The Paradise so enjoyable was the excellent service I received from everyone. My room was spotlessly cleaned every day, all the staff were friendly and ready with advice, particularly the excellent reception ladies!. But above all, for me, the peaceful atmosphere and ambience of the place – hotel, gardens, and lovely views wherever one looked – made this visit so special.
