Hi, it’s Sarah!
I’ve just returned from an incredible holiday and wanted to share with you all what I experienced. From the moment we arrived to the day we left, it was full of special moments—and I think it’s one you’ll want to hear about!I
f you’re anything like me, finding the perfect family break over May half-term can feel like a mission. We wanted sunshine, great food, activities for our 7-year-old, and a little bit of luxury for us too – and I’m so glad to say
Grecotel LuxMe Costa Botanica in Corfu delivered all of that and more.
We travelled out on 23rd May 2025, just in time for the Spring Bank Holiday, and spent a full week soaking up the sunshine, incredible food and the most beautiful surroundings.
👨👩👦
Space, Comfort & Location
We stayed in a Two-Bedroom Family Room with Garden View and Balcony, and honestly – the space was a dream. As a family of three, we had plenty of room to relax, and the central location meant everything was just a short walk away. Pools, restaurants, waterslides – all right on our doorstep, which made life so easy with a child in tow!
🍋 Little Touches That Made a Big Impression
We arrived quite late in the evening, and one of the first things we were greeted with was a glass of freshly made lemonade – such a thoughtful (and delicious) welcome.
I was honestly surprised by how beautiful the resort grounds are. Everything was in full bloom, and there are even homegrown fruits growing throughout the gardens. The attention to detail is everywhere – you can tell how much care has gone into this resort.
🍴
Food Glorious Food
We had hoped to try out the à la carte restaurants but couldn’t get booked in. At first, I’ll admit, I was a bit disappointed—but after just one meal at the main buffet, that completely disappeared. The food was incredible – fresh, varied, and beautifully presented.
There was even a daily gyros station, and if you fancied a wander, there’s a beach bar with an ice cream parlour serving Carte D'Or down by the sea. Safe to say our son was in heaven!
🎢 Fun for Everyone – Kids & Adults Alike
What makes Costa Botanica extra special is how well it caters to both kids and adults. There’s a waterpark onsite, a mini-zoo, children’s cooking classes, evening entertainment, yoga sessions, and watersports. Our little boy loved every second.
There was also waiter service by the beachside pool, which meant we could truly relax while keeping an eye on him having the time of his life.

Local Charm Just Around the Corner
Another bonus? The resort is only a short stroll into Acharavi – a lovely little town with local shops, bars and restaurants. It was perfect for when we fancied a change of scenery without having to venture far.
🌟 Final Thoughts
Would we go back?
In a heartbeat.
Grecotel LuxMe Costa Botanica is ideal if you’re a family who likes a bit of everything – from beach days and waterslides to yoga and strolls into town. The setting is beautiful, the service is fantastic, and it ticks all the boxes for a fun, easy, sunshine-filled family escape.
If you're thinking of booking a family break for next May, I couldn't recommend it more.
