Paradise Hotel Corfu

I liked the view from the room I was in. The food, I have to say, was pretty good, although, it was mostly the same but it was tasty and good. There was on open buffet downstairs in the restaurant with a variety of food laying on the steam-tables and you just picked whatever you liked. What else did I like there? The pool was pretty spacious, though, I wished that they had a bathroom next to it so you don't have to go upstairs every time you needed to go. And there was something charming about the whole building... it had these huge spacious halls which unfortunately were empty most of the time an there was an air of sadness lurking around... just like the staff who worked there.

The staff was utterly unprofessional, unfortunately. They were hungry for your money and if you did gave them what they expected, they started their campaign of disrespect (which they were so good at)… and, they even did not hesitate to show aggression (if they had to). They constantly asked me to tell them where I'm coming from, "where you from? where you from?," they seem to ask. Where I am from, seemed to be of an utter importance to them and, I suspect, it'll influence the quality of the service one receives there. I did not have euros the first two days I arrived there, until I found the currency exchange place, and I thought of tipping them later on. Ohh, boy! they were extremely unhappy with me! The maître d' was un obnoxious little man with un uncombed mop of hair, who never smiled and, throughout the entire duration of my stay there, never changed his light-blue golf shirt and gray pants. He seemed not properly cultured of a man and kind of raw in manners. During meal time, he parked himself at the end of the dining hall and stared openly at the patrons. Every time I picked food from the buffet, he examined my plate as if to see that I did put in more food in my plate than I am actually entitled to. I thought that was pretty harsh of him, to say the least. Unfortunately, as you may imagine, I did not have a pleasant experience there. We stayed for ten nights.
