Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 22 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Daphnila Bay gives you a private bay and a short transfer from the airport. Premium drinks and a stocked minibar are in the package, but only one thematic restaurant is included and only once a week.
Guests score it 8.6 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list on Corfu is 8.9.
- The resort runs down a green hillside on the Kommeno peninsula to its own bay, with olive and cypress trees around the rooms and bungalows.
- The airport is about 14 km away and Corfu Town about 12 km, so the transfer is short enough for a late arrival.
- Several restaurants are open, but only one thematic à la carte dinner is included per week, subject to availability and booking ahead.
- The freshwater outdoor pool opens in season only; for cooler days there is a heated, semi-covered seawater pool.
