The 158-room Aqualand Resort is an all-inclusive hotel next to a big water park in Corfu. Kids will find many sources of entertainment including a lazy river, wave pool, and waterslides. Apartments are simple and spacious with living areas, balconies, and mini-fridges. As at many all-inclusives, the drinks and food get mixed reviews (there is indoor and outdoor dining including a breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet plus snacks, ice cream, and cocktails). This is a good family pick, but located away from the coast, so there are no ocean views; another kid-friendly pick in Corfu is Aquis Park Hotel, closer to the beach.
Scene
All-inclusive resort next to waterpark
Aqualand Resort is a family-friendly property next to a water park. The facility is massive with obstacle courses, waterfalls, waterslides, and a wave pool. The result is a bit chaotic -- the atmosphere is definitely lively with lots of kids running around. The lazy river has a bit more of a relaxing feel. The lobby is bright and simple, with a few red couches for lounging.
Location
Central-west part of Corfu with free shuttle to Corfu Town and Gylfada Beach
Aqualand Resort is next to the Aqualand Waterpark in the central-west part of Corfu. It isn’t on a coast, so there’s no sea view. The hotel offers a free shuttle to Gylfada Beach, a sandy beach with nearby bars and tavernas that is within a 15-minute drive on the west coast and to Corfu Town, a UNESCO Heritage Site with an old fort and plenty of restaurants and shops less than a 25-minute drive on the east coast. The airport is within a 25-minute drive.
Rooms
Rooms with tile floors and colorful curtains, some with furnished patios
A variety of room styles are available, most with flat-screen TVs, light-colored walls, and tile floors. Some rooms have blue and white tiled bathrooms with pedestal sinks and stand-up showers with glass doors. Standard apartment rooms have features like second-level bedrooms with closets, light-blue walls, and matching bedding. Rooms with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers are available. Some rooms have furnished balconies.
Features
Wave pool, waterslides, lazy river, and fitness center
Guests have access to the waterpark an hour earlier than when the park opens to the public and the lines get longer. The hotel has an internet corner with four computers in the lobby. There’s a big fitness center with mirrored walls, free weights, and several exercise machines. Outside is a game room, souvenir shop, and an area where guests can receive fish pedicures. There’s an entertainment staff, but entertainment is mainly geared towards younger children. A free shuttle provides rides to Corfu Town and Gylfada Beach.
