Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Grecotel Corfu Imperial is made for guests who want the holiday to happen inside the resort. It occupies a private peninsula at Kommeno, so the sea frames almost every view, and four sandy beaches, several pools and gardens that run down to the water keep the days close at hand. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, the breakfast and the seafront restaurants, and families value the free kids' club and the larger family rooms. The same seclusion is the main trade-off. There is nothing to walk to, so trips to Corfu Town, about 12 km away, depend on the hotel shuttle or a taxi. In high season the sunbeds go early and pool service can slow down, and some rooms show their age in the bathrooms. Couples and families who plan to stay put will find a calm, well-run base; travellers who like to wander out for dinner are better served closer to town.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list on Corfu is 8.9.
- The resort takes up the whole Kommeno peninsula, so the sea is in view from the gardens, the pools and most rooms. Guests keep naming the setting and the views as the reason they would come back.
- Four sandy beaches belong to the hotel. Guests describe the water as clear and the beaches as clean and well kept, with beach staff who help find and set up sunbeds.
- The peninsula is secluded, which is much of its appeal, but guests point out that there is nowhere to walk to outside the resort. Corfu Town is about 12 km away and is reached by the hotel shuttle, a taxi or transport the hotel arranges.
- In July and August several guests had to get up early to secure sunbeds at the beach or pool, and some found service at the pool slow when the resort was full.
