A disappointing trip to Corfu with Jet2
The Flight Fiasco
We were all set for our much-awaited getaway, booked through Hays Travel and operated by Jet2. Excitement filled the air as we boarded the plane, but it wasn’t long before things took a turn. A group of passengers had clearly started their holiday festivities early, and their intoxication made the journey rather uncomfortable. I was hoping the cabin crew might step in and calm things down, but unfortunately, their efforts didn’t quite hit the mark.
The Rocky Start
After landing, we hopped into our personal transfer to the hotel. It should have been a relaxing drive, but when our driver decided to chat on his mobile phone while navigating the roads, relaxation was the last thing on our minds. Safety first, right? Apparently not in this case.
The Room That Wasn't
We finally arrived at our hotel, looking forward to settling into the room we had seen in the glossy brochure. But alas, the room we walked into was not the spacious haven we were promised. Instead, it was smaller, missing a few expected amenities, and a bit of a letdown overall.
The Wasp Woes
Just when we thought things might improve, we encountered another unexpected problem: wasps. Lots of them. The buzzing was a constant companion, and my poor wife even got stung. It was the kind of adventure we hadn’t signed up for, and despite mentioning it to the hotel staff, nothing was done to address the issue.
The Food Fumbles and Cleanliness Concerns
As vegetarians, we usually enjoy exploring the local cuisine, but the options here were disappointingly limited, especially during snack times. The all-inclusive package, which we had high hopes for, failed to provide any protein replacements or veggie burgers, or anything resembling a thoughtful vegetarian main meal. It was a bit of a letdown, to say the least. And the bathroom? Well, let’s just say it hadn’t seen a cleaning cloth in a while before we arrived, which wasn’t exactly the welcome we were hoping for.
**The Frustrating Follow-Up**
Throughout the trip, I tried to raise these issues with the staff, hoping for some resolution. Once we were back in the UK, I reached out again, but my concerns were either brushed off or met with silence. It’s frustrating to feel like your voice isn’t being heard, especially when you’ve been looking forward to a holiday.
Final Thoughts
I've asked for a formal apology and a partial refund, hoping that our feedback might lead to better experiences for future travellers. Here’s a couple of pics that show the internet v reality for Mareblue Beach Resort here in Corfu.
