Acquaintance with the Messonghi Beach Resort 3 * 2 hotel took place during an advertising and information tour of Greece.
1. The hotel is located in the village. Messonghi is 20 km from Corfu. This is one of the largest hotels on the island. Corfu. Bus stop - 200 m from the hotel.
2. The territory is very large, very well-groomed, the lawns are trimmed, the trees are tied up. Outwardly very respectable (looks more convincing than 3 *). But huge and noisy, like an airport. The French love him very much, and they were even given a separate reception and settled in separate buildings.
3. The number of rooms is 920 rooms located in several buildings and detached bungalows. The central building was renovated in 2012. Rooms: double standards, superior double rooms, family standards, superior family and superior family double rooms.

In the rooms: air conditioning, satellite TV (with Russian, but without Ukrainian channels), telephone, Wi-Fi (extra charge), refrigerator, bath / shower, hairdryer, balcony / terrace. Possible accommodation: 2.2+1.2+2.5 adults. Safe at the reception (extra charge). IMPORTANT: in standard rooms (double and family) there is NO air conditioning, TV, refrigerator and hair dryer.
4. Meal plan: half board or all inclusive. We had lunch at this hotel on the day of our visit. As for 3 *, the kitchen was just on top: a large selection of dishes, delicious. The only thing, since the hotel itself is huge, the restaurant (in which we were) seems to be big, but it seemed cramped. 2 restaurants, 2 pool bars, 2 beach bars, cocktail bar.
5. Beach: sand and pebble, 2 sun loungers + umbrella = 6 euros. But not per day, but for the entire stay (as the hotel manager explained, for the "body of the stay" : )). 4 fresh water swimming pools.
6. For children, the hotel has not only excellent, but exceptional conditions: a mini-aqua park (! ), 4 children's pools with fresh water, a playground.
Mini club, mini disco, children's animation, high chairs in the restaurant. Babysitting - on request (extra charge).
7. Spa: Facial programs, massage, jacuzzi, hairdresser, manicure, pedicure. There is a gym.
8. For outdoor enthusiasts: volleyball, beach volleyball, basketball, football, aerobics, ping-pong. French bowling, tennis, billiards, water sports - for a fee.
9. Entertainment: daily entertainment, Greek evening once a week, live music,
10. In the hotel: jewelry store, mini-market.
11. Of the shortcomings: this is 3 *, not 5 *, therefore, in my opinion, a forgivable shortcoming is the poor, obviously, work of the hoods in the kitchens. As a result, the persistent smell of catering in the restaurant (I can only talk about where we dined). But the quality of the food served more than makes up for this small drawback.
12. What to see near the hotel: 1 km from the village.

Meesongi is another resort village - Moraitika, which has many bars and nightclubs. Nearby is also the village of Chlomos, which offers simply gorgeous views of the island. Corfu and the islands of Paxos and Antipaxos. Neighboring village Boukari is famous for its taverns where you can taste local fish and seafood dishes. And be sure to visit the salt lake Korizion, where many migratory birds from Africa arrive.

Personal impression: big and beautiful. But I love small and intimate ones. And despite this, I liked Messonghi Beach.

Summary: for 3 * - excellent. Five points out of five possible (location, territory, beach, food, infrastructure).
