| said: we found the hotel to be clean, friendly with no major faults.you have to remember that this is a small hotel ( 35 rooms i think ) therefore meal choices are alittle limited. we found the food adequate but if we had taken our children we would have had a few problems altho there was always 1 kids meal provided. the only problem we found was that there wasn't enough sun loungers round the pool. there was some form of entertainment every nite altho it didn't start till at least 10pm. sidari centre was a 20min walk, not a walk i would recommend at nite but a taxi was only 5 euros.

Big rooms cleaned everyday no problems apart the noise from the bar sometimes could be a bit loud for me.The food was great a bit more sellection of meals would been even better. But at the end of the day was a good value of money.The hotel is about 20 min walking from the resort get a taxi only 5 euros. The staff were very kind especialy the entertainer looked after my little boy.Great job. Entertainment was diffrent every night great greek night the dancers were amazing! Im looking foward comming back next year.

| said: We went on this holiday for my 40th birthday.expecting a nice time and i was bitterly disappointed.the food was boring and mundane with very limited choice.chicken seems to be a favourite choice for lunch and evening meal and was cold.breakfast was cold rubbery and limited and the bread needed to go through toaster 5 times.the rooms were not clean in particular the bathroom and toilet.the first thing we did was to buy bleach and cleaned ourselves.the staff were sternfaced and unhelpful.the animation crew (one of them)was not on site for most of our holiday.as he was oitherwise distracted by(a female)the hotel is a 20 minute walk to town along a dark narrow unpaved lane.and some people had it far worse than us.

| said: I have been on ten all inclusive holidays and this is the worst ever.
The food was the same every day. Chicken twice a day, the breakfast was disgusting.
The rooms were cleaned most days but the toilets looked like they hadnt seen bleach for two years. We had to wait four days for a towel change and that was only when i complained. The snacks around the pool consisted of dry cheese and ham cobs every day. Out of the 14 days we were there they only played 5 games.
The childrens club made masks.
You take your life in your hands when you walk into town. The roads are so narrow and the drivers are maniacs i wouldnt recommend the hotel to my worst enemy.

| said: We would not recommend this hotel at all!! It should definitely not be all inclusive!!
The hotel was clean, but stunk of bleach so not sure what smells they were hiding.
The food was awful, all the same, it was cold, and unappetising, it reminded us of getting our school dinners.
The location is 20 minutes out of Sidari, a nice walk in if it isn't to hot, it is east to get a taxi for 5 euros. The hotel staff were rude and never smiled, unlike anyone else we met in Corfu.
The entertainment was no existent, we would suggest that you go into town for something to do.
We would definitely not visit this hotel again although Sidari was nice just the hotel that let the whole holiday down.

| said: We came to Joylife for a relaxing break away from the mad pace of every day life here in the uk. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the food was wonderfully greek!! We were close enough to both Sidari and Sunset beach for pleasant strolls of an evening, and far enough away to maintain tranquility. Entertainment was varied to suit everyone, including the daytime activities.
Thankyou for a happy holiday - we didn't want to come home!!

| said: I really loved and enjoyed my stay at the Club Joylife. The food was brilliant and the chef (labros i think his name was)really good at his job. The entertainment at night was fun at times. The complex is beautiful and Zoe and Costos are lovely! They work so hard and they still smile. The rep was a young girl from Manchester who was verysweet and helpful and nothing was ever to much trouble.

| said: Joylife has this year gone to an all inclusive basis,
as we went at the start of the season, they were just
getting to grip with all that is published in the Kosmar brochure.
The menu and food improved day on day, Yiannis,the waiter/barman is brilliant at looking
after people.
The rooms are cleaned on a daily basis, towel and sheets changed twice weekly.
This is a family run business by Spiros and his parents, both themselves and all their staff are very friendly, the only problem at the moment is the holiday company reps inexperience/lack of knowlege reflecting badly on this complex

| said: Hotel is 20 mins walk from Sidari town which was nice. Not too near and not too far from the hustle of the town, booze, screens, gift shops, which was tacky as expected, but not excessive.
Car hire is reasonable in Sidari.
The room was average, the drainage in our bathroom was dismal, (blocked sinks and shower, and WC cistern intermittent, and water pressure occasionally intermittent) and midweek it was half fixed (the sink only) after 3 polite complaints from us.
The staff are friendly and polite, the complex has a lovely relaxed ambience.
The food is good and reasonable (the Greek taverna "Bikolis" is 5 minute walk the other way, and is fabulous, cheap, friendly and menu in English as well)
The 2 pools are great place to kick back.
This may sound like a bit of a moan but we had a fantastic time, and we would go back to this hotel. Bathroom was the only downside.

| said: Only "2" for location, as it is 20 minute walk to town and beach. No public transport, but taxi is only 5 euro. However walk is pleasant, and hotel is in quiet location.
2 decent pools, plenty of sunbeds.
Cooking facilities are 2 hobs and a toaster and kettle. Nearest supermarket is 3 minutes walk away, and almost next door is fruit and veg store which sells monster water melon. Food is available in hotel and is average, with the set menus being particularly good value.
SKY TV in bar, no TV in rooms. As we were three,(Dad, and two teenage kids) we had two rooms, and there was plenty of room.
The staff are friendly. We would prefer to stay nearer town if we returned to Sidari, but it didm make for a relaxing holiday.
Looking at resort reviews, Siari is what you want it to be; noisy, nightlife, quiet drink, fast food, good food (try "The Family" - excellent food - on the right as you enter town), relaxing. Large beach, but very shallow, water was nice in July
