- Lunch can be taken à la carte under the Premium package, not only at the buffet.
- For the full Dine Around you walk along the beach to MarBella or Nido, as several of the restaurants are there rather than at Avali.

Rooms & which one to pick
Our tip: Couples after the best view should book the Deluxe Double Room Private Pool Front Sea View (25 m², private pool, sea view), or the Deluxe Double Room Front Sea View if a private pool isn't essential. Families needing extra space should look at the Panorama Junior Suite Private Pool Sea View (36 m², up to three guests, private pool) or the Rooftop Junior Suite Front Sea View (37 m², up to three guests, sea view) if budget matters more than pool access.

Reviews from Google“We don’t normally leave reviews after a holiday, but after a 10-day stay at Avali, it’s worth sharing our experience. From the beginning we were made to feel at home and welcome, with the warmest staff I think we’ve come across at a hotel. The hospitality has been fantastic throughout, in every part of the hotel. Minas makes an enormous effort to get to know you and make you feel part of the Avali family, while Alexandra and Theodora were particular highlights for us - always making sure we were fed and watered, all with a constant smile on their face. They - and the whole team - made us feel truly looked after. We would recommend Avali to anyone in a heartbeat.”
“Me and my husband chose this place for our babymoon and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. I was 7 month pregnant at arrival and from the start, the entire staff treated me like a princess! The hotel premises are just stunning. The pool is incredible, the views are breathtaking, and the whole environment is created for a relaxing laid back experience. The beach is only a few seconds from the pool, so we were able to dip in an out from the pool and on to the sea. The food was incredible (I still think of their breakfast buffet) and perfectly suited to pregnancy. The staff were so polite, warm and considerate, we felt so well looked after. Truly shows how much work and care they put into it. My husband loved the drinks they offered, lots of piña coladas and mojitos by the pool. Only thing we wish is that they offered crisps and small snacks to have by the pool (not main meals). We absolutely enjoyed the a la carte dinner restaurant at Avali. We also had the choice to go have dinner at the bigger hotel from the same chain (Mar-Bella) which is just up the road, but we felt the vibe and atmosphere at Avali was much better fitted to us, it's just so special. I would say - don't bother to leave the hotel during all your stay!”
“Special mentions: Minas for excellent hospitality, Mark and Theodora for an amazing bar service. Timothe and Maria for fantastic reception service - all the staff was amazing to be honest. Maria the masseuse was exceptional too! Thanks to all the staff at Avali 🙏🏽🇬🇷 The "cons" if there were any - The resort is 25 mins (minimum) away from Corfu old town - so if you're looking to explore that side more, this can be a bit far out in my opinion. The food at the sister hotel - tha PAN ASIAN restaurant was horrible. They should fix that. The beach is rock-ier than expected. OVERALL EXPERIENCE - Cannot wait to be back! Absolutely loved our stay.”
“Had an amazing time at Avali this week! Not only was the food incredible and the property stunningly beautiful, but each and every one of the staff was so kind and helpful. To name a few, we were greeted by Gerardo who was so incredibly nice and helpful we came back every day to chat with him. Minas, the host was also such a delight and always made us feel welcome. We had wonderful service from July and the rest of the cleaning crew who were very responsive and made us laugh with the towel animals. Everyone who worked at the restaurants were so friendly, kind, and made us feel at home including Joelle. And finally Matthaios, who runs the beach activities was a delight and made it so easy to enjoy the amazing beachfront. There’s also plenty of activities and amenities that make it easy for time to fly by. We took a water color class, a cruise to the south, and a spent a lot of time snorkeling/paddle boarding. I cannot recommend enough and will definitely be back:)”
“We had an amazing experience, from the moment we arrived until we left. Geraldo who checked us in was delightful and funny too. Our rooftop front sea view room was exactly what we needed. The amenities were great and the room was spotless. Special mention to Gerald July who serviced our room and created wonderful animals with the towels, made us smile every time we entered our room. A big thank you to everyone who made my sister's 40th birthday special, organising with Theodoros to make this day memorable. Maria (Spa) gave her a relaxing full body massage which she said was the best she's ever had, Maria was so warm and kind. Special mention to Minas (Zardini Restaurant) and Joanna (Stia Restaurant), truly wonderful people their service was exceptional. A cake was made for my sister on her birthday and we had a lovely dinner. Dimitra (Stia) was so friendly we felt like we knew her. The food was fantastic throughout our whole stay at both Restaurants and again the staff were so attentive, special mention to Mark (Zardini). The staff are truly a credit to the hotel as this is what made this a 5* experience. Nothing was ever too much, everyone was so friendly, kind, attentive and always greeted when they saw us with a genuine smile from Front office (Timothee), luggage porters, restaurants, bar, housekeeping all were wonderful. A very big thank you to everyone, we weren't able to get everyone's name but your kindness did not go unnoticed. We will definitely visit again. THANK YOU!!!!!!!”
