DB has had 43 reviews already this year!!!!
Had a quick count up and 30% are first time reviewers. They do say that first time reviews are the ones that maybe "dodgy".
Don't know if this is a particularly high percentage.
Had a quick count up of a few other places -
Nafsika  16 reviews this year and 25% were first time reviewers.
Romanza  19 reviews with 10.5% first time reviewers.
Little Prince  21 reviews with 9.5% first time reviewers.
Thomas Bay 42 reviews with 19% first time reviews.
Teresas  14 reviews with 14% first time reviewers.

Don't know what's going on but I do know it smells worse than the harbour.

I would say it stinks more than a smoker's breath and clothes.

I think the post 'Dear Precious...... although intended to be funny and 'tongue in cheek' is completely uncalled for.  We went for a look around a couple of years ago and were treated with politeness, shown the menu and wished a pleasant evening.  This is someone's livelihood and after all we all want San Stefanos to thrive.

The attraction of San Stefanos for me is that it has something for everyone.  Some people don't like the Condor Bar, and I must admit we don't go there as we like to be outside, but one chilly May evening we were glad of the warmth and entertainment.  Gerry James got slated at first but the Silver Star was always packed.  I love the resort, quiet evenings, entertainment, reasonable prices etc.

We have stayed in lots of resorts on Corfu - Kassiopi, Kalami, Arillas, Roda, Sidari, Moratika, Aghios Gordios, St Georges South - and enjoyed every holiday but San Stefanos is still our favourite.

Winj - I think you are slightly missing the point.

We love the fact that SS has something for everyone and acknowledge that people are not going to all champion the same places, however my review of the DB was balanced and they had absolutely no reason to remove it.

They gave the reasons for removing the first review I made on the basis that I mentioned other people's opinions, so with the support of everybody on this thread, I re-wrote and reposted it which this time illicited a response from the silver fox himself and he completed LIED about the events that evening to discredit my review.

Now once again, it has been removed.  I was actually waiting for this to happen before I sent my acerbic email directly to Kostas and letting him though what a throughly stinky business this all is.

The reviews for the DB are definitely fixed and I am sick of Kostas using TA for his own means.   It defeats the whole purpose of the site and I am livid that he has the power to remove the reviews that he doesn't like.

He is about to experience the wrath of a seriously annoyed lady.

You could involve consumer programmes on TV, Like Watchdog etc. I bet yours wont be the only complaint about the impartiality of TA

We've been lucky enough to have stayed at Delfino Blu twice. On our first stay in Sept 2012, the bottom of this slide landed on level sand. Kostas told me the winter storms took 2m of sand away from the beach, hence the drop that now exists.  When we returned in June this year, our son was quite upset that he couldn't use the slide anymore - he'd thoroughly enjoyed it the previous September.  I am surprised Kostas hasn't removed it, but I think he was more concerned about protecting the rest of Mango being eroded by the sea - he put the stone wall in to protect it.  I suspect the play area won't be there next May when we return, probably to be replaced by a further extension of the Mango Bar decking.

If they take as long to do it as they have to finish the new pool at the back of DB it'll still be there in 2020.
