I was thinking about our first visit to Corfu in 2003[not the best experience] due to the hotel and yet we were drawn back again to Corfu. It was one of those last minute allocated on arrival[something we had never done before]. The hotels were Thomas Bay, a Thomson Gold in AG South or Yalliskari palace[now Ambience palace] in Pelakas. We just knew that we would end up at the Yalliskari and in the middle of nowhere. Watered down drinks and dismal staff. We forgot to pay for our water at the evening meal one night and the manager actually ran after us shouting and we were made to feel like thieves, he could have just asked us at breakfast the next day for the money. The beach was nice though but the whole resort[if you can call it that] consisted of the hotel, 2 shops and 2 bars. Still it did'nt put us off and we returned to Corfu in 2006 staying at AG North at Costas Golden beach[happy memories of this hotel],2008 we discovered SS and are returning to SS this year. Corfu is indeed a magical place and SS is in my opinion is the best resort. Friendly locals,beautiful beach and so many good restaurants. Pure relaxation.
