- Petra & iainNewcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom18 contributionsThis was such a stunning location and really would like to keep this place to ourselves, but deserves a shout out. Great vibe, lovely cocktails and food but the views and location to sea were what made it special for us. There are a lot of steps to climb if you want the best location but so worth it. From there you follow some steps that take you straight into the sea..the sea is so salty that even for nervous swimmers all you have to do is float. There were people jumping from the cliff at the side at times which was fun to watch. The sea on this side of the island is colder that the east but it was lovely and refreshing and clear on a hot day in June. There is a pool at the top by the bar/restaurant also for use which looked lovely and clean and there were plenty of beds to use. We ate breakfast and had a meal after spending a day here and the food was lovely, particularly enjoyed the breakfasts and good coffees. The cocktails looked delicious but we didn’t take advantage so can’t comment. Order at the bar as no table service, but the staff were friendly and efficient and noticed offering advice to people on locations to go. We met a couple who were also staying in the apartments joined with Acapulco who said they were spot on. Little g of a place!Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 18, 2025
- thepostie2010Barnstaple, United Kingdom960 contributionsWe discovered the Acapulco by chance! It was mentioned on the Inntravel walking route we were following. What a find. What a gem this place is. It’s almost hidden; only a small signpost pointed us in the right direction from the Corfu Trail footpath. The bar, terraces and pool have a brilliant location on the cliff face. It overlooks Liapades and you get amazing views out to sea. There are a series of terraces which gives you private access to the sea. The owners, Spiros & Georgia could not be more charming if they tried. Pleasant and helpful, the bar is very laid back and clearly provides a family friendly atmosphere by the reaction to the other customers. Even to the casual passers-by (like us) access to the pool is not restricted. Food is both quick to arrive, reasonably priced, like their beers, soft drinks and coffee. It was a great place to take a rest from our hiking, in fact it was so good we came back for another visit.Visited May 2024Traveled with friendsWritten May 28, 2024
- Purplerain19England, United Kingdom121 contributionsWe visited here for the day after a recommendation from a friend who used to live in Corfu and bring her children to Acapulco regularly and she was not wrong what a fantastic place! Lovely calm atmosphere, pool was refreshing and cold, very much needed after a hot day in the sun. The drinks were well made and food was delicious all the staff were extremely friendly. Next time we come to Corfu we will be looking to stay at Acapulco, the views are spectacular.Visited July 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 15, 2024
- barney-tedRickmansworth, United Kingdom60 contributionsLisa and I decided to book our special day to be held here at the Acapulco bar.....It was THE best decision we've made . Georgia and Spiros were perfect hosts and made me , my new wife and our families so welcome. The weather was gorgeous, views to die for , food was delicious and the venue was perfect. But it was the owners and staff that made this day a perfect 10/10 . Will definitely come back to Corfu and will always come to the Acapulco say say Hi and to our new friends Georgia and Spiros.Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 3, 2024
- CarolinaCoimbra, Portugal8 contributionsThe Acapulco Pool Bar was one of our favorite in Corfu. It is a wonderful place where we can drink a drink, eat, dive in the pool, relax to see a great view or even, dive and jump into the wonderful sea of Greece. To come back for sure. The service was very good and we think the prices are fair for the whole experience.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 26, 2024
- Karen481959Urmston, United Kingdom11 contributionsFabulous time as always at Acapulco bar , very friendly & welcoming staff with fabulous views. Lots of sunloungers on all different levels & you can swim in the sea from there too. The pool area is immaculate & very clean.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 3, 2024
- redr632 contributionsLove this place, our favourite place to go and relax/drink/eat. Lovely little places with loungers going down in stages overlooking the pretty little bay below. Can access the sea for a nice swim to cool off, the back to lounger to watch the boats coming in and out. We will be back to Corfu and will be back to this bar!!Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 10, 2024
- Matthew R28 contributionsMust be one of the best places in Corfu, good service, reasonable prices, wonderful setting. Pool, lovely bar, nice food, lovely owners, great views and areas to sit and dine. dive, swim or snorkel from the rocks.. there is nothing not to like.Visited October 2024Traveled soloWritten October 11, 2024
- Passenger13143240470Farnham, United Kingdom1 contributionWe had the best time at Acapulco bar. It is hidden in the hills so it has the best views and steps down to the beach. The Apartments are looked after by the kindest family. Try Elia taverna nearby for the best meal in Corfu. Ben & CVisited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 20, 2024

We only dicovered this gem on our second visit to Paleokastritsa. It's hidden away and a small signpost directs you via a footpath through an olive grove. The bar has a prime location on the cliff face overlooking Liapades and out to sea. It comprises of a series of terraces down to the sea access, and you can choos a secluded, shady spot or one of the tables close to the bar. The owners, Spiros & Georgia are fantastic, pleasant and helpful and the bar has a very relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Food is good, plentiful and quick to arrive and also reasonably priced as are their beers and cocktails.
In the evenings, the bar has discos and pool parties where things can get a little more rauscous depending upon the mood of the customers. It's a brilliant place to whie the day away and you can swim to nearby Liapades vis the bar's sea access. We've rented a boat before and moored up there to go for lunch!

This is such a chilled but also lively bar, we stayed at a local beach hotel and swam to this bar half a dozen times for a few beers in the afternoon then a gentle swim back, we also had a great disco evening and enjoyed Spiros doing some traditional Greek dancing assisted by his beautiful daughters and staff.
I would really recommend a visit as you will be hooked as we were and visit again,
Thank you Spiros and staff.

We spent many days around the pool at Acapulco over our holiday - both as a couple and with family. We travelled as a group of 13 and were always made to feel so welcome. Everyone was so accommodating 😊 you can spend time by the pool, sea or sunbathing on separate levels of the bar and the views are to die for! Food and drinks all amazing - we loved it here! The Acapulco salad, iced frappe with baileys and strawberry daiquiri are especially good!! 😋

Such a nice place! Great views, good for swimming down in deep water from the rocks, layered terrace. Super helpful hosts, large tasty portions, clean and relaxed for reasonable prices. Could easily spend a whole day in there!

Having read raving reviews about this bar we ventured down there whilst on our hols in Paleo. Yes the views (when you reached the bottom of the steps) are stunning but if you want to enjoy the pool… we’ll let’s just say it’s not the most enticing… a bit cloudy and everywhere just looked a little unloved. We left after a couple of hours preferring to return to our own more cleanly accommodation with a clear pool and more welcoming hosts.

We found the Acapulco a first class bar with swimming pool and access to the sea down some steps. Drinks reasonable prices and the snacks on offer first class. The Greek salad was magnificent
Spiros a wonderful host and all the staff very friendly and very attentive.
The bar is a bit off the main road but is worth the walk down through the olive grove or if you want you can drive down a concrete road.
Family run business catering for all ages, where nothing is too much trouble.
A place where you can sit round the pool or sit in the gardens overlooking the sea and just chill out
Enjoyed our visit and we will be coming back

Elia taverna & Acapulco bar - STARS OF THE RESORT - Spiros & Georgia are fabulous hosts. They put in so much effort with you that you feel part of their family. A true Greek experience.

You cannot argue with the fantastic views here, the place however needs drastically updating, the website shows the place from 10 years ago now the facilities are tired and a little grim.
The rooms are like a prison cell, no light disgusting unhygienic rugs everywhere and the smell of drains and a musty damp smell.
The place was just very uncomfortable and there is a birds nest in the corridor.
The bathroom is like a bathroom from communist regime.
I can understand people wanting a nice simple clean cheap guest place in Greece trust me this isn't the place pay a bit more and go to some where like zefiros on paleo beach.
Avoid like the plague and like wise to the aggressive owner spiros who is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Very nasty man.

We were staying close to Acapulco Pool Bar last summer in July, but had no idea this place was existed. Basically it was discovered while walking and exploring surroundings. Very secluded area, nicely designed and well kept. There was a swimming pool actively used by kids and bar with some snacks and drinks. You could choose to sit and enjoy local wine or beer with magnificent view. You could see next village - Liapades with nice beaches. (There is a short cut through the mountains to get to the village.) You could get chairs or chaise lounger and enjoy the scenery. We usually would spend a few hours swimming and enjoying the sun and in the evening to visit for drinks. Very friendly atmosphere and excellent service. For those who love snorkeling or other water activities is an excellent place to be. We are planning to spend some time in Paleo this summer and will definitely visit Acapulco! Highly recommended for all ages.
P.S. On some days there were some parties organized, but we did not have a chance to attend. Hope this summer to join.

After reading glowing reviews, we decided to pay the Acapulco a visit, despite it being a bit of a trek from where we were staying. Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed by what we saw (the view is the only thing going for the place) - The sun beds were in need of replacement, the bins were desperately needing emptied and the place could do with a clean. Also, I wouldn't class the place as a restaurant, its more like a pool bar that serves snacks (of which the quality wasn't that great). We ended up wishing we hadn't bothered going and had spent the time at the beach.
