The all-inclusive Dreams Corfu Resort & Spa in Corfu, Greece, blends the seamlessness of Inclusive Collection hotels with an idyllic European setting. The property, perched on Gouvia Bay, feels secluded and the calm waters of the sea provide an almost lakeside feel. Guests wake to colorful sunrises and, as the sun sets, the resorts' seaside restaurants come to life.
Guestrooms at the resort are spacious by European standards and offer excellent in-room amenities. There are a total of 327 rooms on the property and they include double rooms, family rooms, bungalows and suites.
Each room features a balcony or terrace and views of either the gardens or the sea. Double, garden-view rooms include a king-size bed or two twins as well as a sofa bed and can sleep three guests. These rooms have a furnished balcony or terrace, a minibar, a capsule espresso machine and rain shower.
There is also the option for family rooms, suites and bungalows. The Family Suite Sea View sleeps four guests with a king-size bed and two single beds. The difference between these rooms is size and the view. The rest of the in-room amenities are the same.
Guests also have the option to stay in the Bungalows. These rooms are slightly more secluded but come with similar amenities. The oceanview bungalows are the closest to the water of any of the rooms at the resort.

I highly recommend enhancing the guest room experience with an upgrade to Preferred Club.
Guests staying in Preferred Club rooms have access to a special lounge area with self-service top-shelf spirits, a daily continental breakfast, afternoon snacks and complimentary computer access.
Rooms and suites are more spacious and feature added amenities such as a beach bag with a towel and suites feature separate sitting areas as well as terraces and balconies. The preferred accommodations are in the best areas of the resort and include a pillow menu and an extended selection of bathroom amenities.
Preferred Club guests also receive a private check-in, checkout as well as exclusive concierge services.

One of the highlights of Dreams Corfu is its all-inclusive dining. The food was fresh and flavorful and the drinks were top-notch. There are four a la carte dining options on the property as well as the international World Cafe buffet.
World Cafe is open for all three meals while the Barefoot Grill snack bar opened for drinks and snacks from 11 a.m. Coco Cafe opens at 6 a.m. with handcrafted coffee beverages and pastries and snacks throughout the day and into the evening.
