Andy Mills Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Been to Corfu dozens of times, whats the RC Hotel like and exactly where is it ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hi Andrew, Pretty much what it says, you can bring your own model (s), or if you want as in my case and most others I think, fly the models provided by the hotel. I'll get some more photos done and post them. The hotel is near Poulades, an inland site with extremely helpful and friendly staff. It is family run and the owner, Spiros, will do what he can to try and arrange anything you may need of its at possible.

Jon Laughton Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I have been eight times and will be there again in a couple of weeks. Everything about the hotel from the owner Spiros, the staff, the accommodation, the food, the bar and the flying is excellent & great value for money. It is located in the centre of the island west of Gouvia - about 15 minutes from the airport by car. My wife has been several times and enjoyed it very much.... Go for it!

Jon Laughton Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Ian - I am at the RC hotel now which just about says everything. 🌞 Even since July when I came with my wife there have been incremental improvements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Armstrong 2 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 My wife and I went for the first time early September. I really enjoyed it. The pool area is nicely landscaped and supplied with chairs etc (and a bar close by) so if your partner likes sitting round a pool its great for them too. While we were there everyone else we spoke to had been there before (mostly more than once). Spiros said that about 80% of his business is repeat customers. Food was very good too.

Fundamentally there has been no change - it started as Spiros's dream to provide a superb holiday venue for RC enthusiasts and it has remained so ever since. Many of the staff/family have been there since day 1 and they provide an excellent service. However over the years there has been the big change in that the facility moved from the first rented hotel to the present purpose built, owned, complex. Since the move the new hotel has been subject to continual improvement and is a very good holiday hotel in its own right, even discounting the RC element. The RC fleet & training has changed in line with the trends seen in your local club - 2.4, more electric, the popularity of foamys, heli's declining, quads emerging etc etc. I'll be back again next year.

Geoff Hoolahan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Well, that's 7 visits for me in 6 years,. the last one back in July. There's nothing not to like (except maybe Corfu airport departure lounge ). Everybody you meet there becomes a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Jones Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 I wish I was there! Unfortunately I returned home a few weeks ago. Just got to work out a ploy for getting SWMBO to agree to the next visit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Murphy 1 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 How would the "Englishman abroad" get on, I am really fussy eater. egg chips and beans,beans on toast and roasts etc,plain stuff. would I starve? would like to try oversea hols AND fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 No you would not starve Garry, put on weight more likely. There is plenty of choice in the menus, which change daily. Sundays are the days for the traditional English Roast dinner, Wednesdays are BBQ, you can have a full English Breakfast every day if you like. Spiros worked in the hospitality trade in Yorkshire in his youth, that & the predominance of UK guests means he is well used to such requests. Plenty of Greek food also on offer if you feel adventurous one day. Have a look here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
