Ekati Mare Boutique Resort

We stayed in Ekati mare for one night as we were heading to Paxos from the port the next day! I had arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport, with the hotel prior to my arrival and we had a Mercedes mini bus which was lovely. Checked into the hotel and pool area was so nice! We went changed into swimming costumes and sat by the pool! Strawberry daiquiris from the pool bar were amazing! Room was lovely, we stayed just to the side of the pool. We had two single beds and mezzanine room with a double bed! The bathroom was a bit dated but clean! Balcony was lovely. All you would need from a hotel. Hotel is at the beginning of the *****, I had previously been to Kavos in 2012 and even though some of the bars were the same it seemed like a completely different vibe to when I went. Still lovely and bars doing deals but definitely not as mental as it used to be. Breakfast in the morning was nice, had a selection of different things to eat. Staff sorted us out a taxi to the port. Hotel all in all nice, lovely staff and would definitely stay again.

Very nice hotel. Food was great so there was hardly a need to go eat elsewhere. Nice and spacious room with everything I really needed. While the music was really loud outside I could not hear anything, which was appreciated. Hotel was also near the sea which was a plus too. Overall a really nice experience.

Sizeable rooms with great noise cancellation, really delicious but also light food for breakfast and dinner. Absolutely loved the Sunday barbeque. Great and welcoming design, and of course the pool and jacuzzi are good additions. Also the garden is a nice touch. Will certainly stay there again.

Staff were friendly and lovely but were very overworked. It was apparent they were run down after getting no days off. Pool area is nice but very slow service at the bar due to being understaffed. Same playlist all week that quickly grew old. The breakfast was cold even at 8am when it opens. The orange and apple juice is from a machine and has a weird taste to it. Limited selection that stayed the same throughout our week trip. The room was not as advertised and not very clean. It was not close to a 4 star standard and more like a hostel. The cleaning staff were useless and just walked in without knocking. On the days they did come they did not leave fresh towels and change the bins or bed sheets. Our stuff was moved and items taken out of bags and moved into others. Very strange and is unacceptable as they were going through our stuff. There was a safe in the room however it was not bolted down and was easily moved. Not excalty safe and or confidence inspiring.. On our final night a bottle of my girlfriends perfume was stolen from housekeeping. We checked our room thoroughly as we didn't want to accuse anyone of stealing. We spoke to the man on reception that night however his English was limited and told us to return the next morning at 9, but we were due to leave before this. The next morning I managed to speak to management briefly before our bus arrived. I gave them my email and once home they contacted me stating the perfume was "found". After lots of back and forth they couldn't ship it back to us therefore agreed to cover the value. To me this shows they know it was taken from our room otherwise they would not agree to cover the value. They didn't send the full value but something was better than nothing. In short avoid at all costs and if you decide to go don't bring anything of value for the risk of it going missing.

We stayed for 2 weeks me my husband and daughter (12 year old) this hotel was lovely and modern, friendly staff and the breakfast was fabulous with a lot of choice, lunch was also really good with lots to choose from on the menu, we were staying across the road down a little lane but our room was nice with good aircon which was needed when we were there as there was a heatwave!! Special mention to Muhammad and Faye who were always so chatty and friendly! Staff made the hotel special and kept it clean and tidy!! Now I would say that this hotel isn’t really ideal for families as it was at the top end of the ***** of Kavos so attracted lots of groups of younger party goers, average age from 18-25… there is no noise from the ***** as it’s a few mins walk however even to get to the restaurants you have to walk through the ***** which wouldn’t be the cleanest! Again the hotel and rooms are lovely and kept clean! But because of the location we would not be returning but would recommend to people that are looking for the night life of Kavos…

We had agreat stay in ekati mare during our first time visiting corfu. the place is so well maintained and clean, staff was so friendly. they really made our stay. the hotel is located in the quiet beginning of kavos, so no noise during the evenings. really cant fault it. top place

We enjoyed a delightful family holiday at Ekati Mare for a week, opting for the half-board package. Our one-bedroom family room comfortably accommodated us, with a double bed, a single bed in the main room, and an additional bed in the kitchen area. The beds were cozy, and the daily room cleaning service was impeccable. The spacious balcony offered a lovely spot to unwind, and the powerful shower was a welcome feature. The poolside area was consistently spotless, with staff regularly tidying up. We appreciated the attention to cleanliness. The drink prices were reasonable, with cocktails around €8 and beer served in frosty glasses—a nice touch. There were ample sun loungers and day beds available, even during the bustling month of August. Despite being near the lively Kavos *****, Ekati Mare provided a peaceful retreat. The hotel is a short 5-6 minute walk from the main area, ensuring a quiet night's sleep. We always felt safe, even during late hours. Ekati Mare stands out as one of the nicer hotels in the vicinity, offering a relaxed atmosphere complemented by soothing poolside music. The pool, though deep, also features a smaller section suitable for children. Pool towels were available for a €10 deposit, a convenient option given the daily average of 30°C. We booked three excursions through the hotel—Corfu Town, Aqualand, and Paxos Caves—and found their prices to be the most competitive. The beach, just a two-minute stroll away, added to the convenience of the location. The attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. We've already recommended Ekati Mare to friends and family back home. Well done.

A beautiful hotel. The beaches and bars are nice but don't really get going until June. Weather is acceptable in May, although not every day was suitable for sunbathing. The staff were helpful, and the food very nice. If you want a quiet, pre season location, this is excellent.

This hotel was excellent, it calls itself a ‘boutique’ hotel and is deserving of that title, it has an intimate and select feel to it . It was always quiet and peaceful , the staff were friendly and helpful, the pool area was lovely and the food was excellent, although as the hotel was fairly small there wasn’t a huge variety. Our ‘superior ‘ room was actually in a block down a short lane opposite the main hotel. This wasn’t a problem as the room was nice and well appointed, had a nice view over some gardens and there was ample parking. So overall a lovely hotel. But there is a problem. Kavos. Be in no doubt this an awful town. We had been told it was a party town for youngsters so we were expecting something a bit Aiya Napa or Magaluf. What we got was more like downtown Beirut. I accept that in October some businesses are closed for the winter but it seemed like most of the town was derelict with only the odd shop open. It has the appearance of a shantytown, walking down the street was difficult during the day as there were no pavements, and a definite no-no at night with hardly any street lights. Also there was rubbish everywhere, this was a shock, as we are used to Spain which is always very clean. None of this really bothered us as the hotel is on the outskirts of town and we had a car. We found a great beach near Lefkimmi a short drive away and Corfu town is a must visit, it’s beautiful. To summarize I would definitely recommend the hotel but not Kavos!
