Myself and my wife were at the Aeolos orange hotel for seven nights, and having read the reviews both bad and good were dubious to say the least.
I have to say our experiences were generally good, I will list a few points that we consider relevant:
The room was clean, and ample for us. Recently decorated.
The food was varied, with different themes each night, but could become boring as each theme felt the same, eating on the dining balcony was near impossible in the evening, need to get there early. Beware the wasps in the morning on the balcony.
The complex was large, and very hilly, our room was in the Alkinoo's up a steep incline, good way to walk off all the excesses.
The pools were fine, the infinity pool very impressive set with a spectacular view, the second in the main complex was smaller but ok, but a shortage of beds, and space at both.
The bar was set by reception, with a balcony with great views, before but gets busy before evening meal. They do not serve diet drinks.
The beach was small, and if you don't get up at 0600 to put your towel on a bed you may be disappointed. You will also see those beds with towels on are not used for hours. The slide for kids only is in my opinion drops into water thats too shallow.
The al-a-carte was poor, and not worth the effort, with no evidence of a dress code to my knowledge!
There is very little else in the vicinity of the complex, nowhere to walk, there is a local bus service to Corfu and Benitsises at the bottom of the drive, tickets from supermarket across the road, or the complex shop. We hired a scooter and travelled to the west coast for large pratically empty sandy beaches, St Georges our favourite.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, and would recommend it to a friend, but we won't be going back.
