We stayed a week at Alkyna as a group of six via Expedia. Overall, a mixed experience with definite highlights and a few disappointments.
Pros:
The à la carte restaurants (Lucata & NAFs) were fantastic—great food, wine guidance, and incredible sunset views. The decor is beautiful with high-quality furnishings and a calming aesthetic. Cocktails at Caduna & Boseto are top-notch. Swim-up rooms have stunning views, and sunsets are breathtaking. Lucata breakfast is relaxed with fresh omelets and delicious Greek yogurt. Quality alcohol brands are served. The sea is safe and fun—bring water shoes. Boardwalk across beach to great local simple cheap restaurants. Great natural vibe with lush plants.
Cons:
Sunbeds get reserved early; few options get morning sun. Swim-up patios get sun late, pools are too cold, and there's no heated pool. The buffet is small and food often cold. Resort lacks signage, a map, and has steep hills. Occasional sewage smell near Italian stairwell. Hot water inconsistent, bedroom lights flash from devices. Smoking allowed by pools and outdoor bars. Entertainment is minimal, and service can be inconsistent. Transfers into Corfu town now cost €18.
Tip:
Message the resort on Facebook before arrival for the app’s secret code. This lets you pre-check in and book à la carte restaurants—by far the best part of the resort.
