Melina Bay Boutique Hotel

This is a wonderful hotel, with stunning views over the harbour (obviously if you book a harbour view room). Our room was spacious and well equipped, with a fridge and plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Housekeeping was excellent. The location is absolutely perfect with plenty of bars and restaurants around. In fact a 10 minute walk will take you to any of the venues in Kassiopi. The pool is small but the views more than make up for it. We had no problem getting sunbeds every day and the complimentary towels are a nice touch. Breakfast was plentiful - fresh and well put out, and available until 11am if you fancy a lie in! The bar - again with the fabulous views - is very well stocked as is the bar next door (Katoi). Melina Bay guests enjoy a 10% discount there on food, highly recommended. The staff are great, friendly and helpful. We went with Jet2 and it was good to be collected by car at the drop off point, and taken back when leaving. Really appreciated our cases being carried up/down the stairs as well! Only one very small issue was the shower screen stopped halfway so the bathroom floor did get quite wet - but that's the only negative I can think of. Kassiopi is a lovely resort and this hotel is exceptional.

A few quick impressions. The hotel has been refurbished to a very high standard. The rooms are light, airy, spacious and well equipped. The view from the front bedrooms is second to none. Restaurants, tavernas, shops and supermarkets are all within easy reach of the hotel. The staff, especially Gina, are superb: friendly, helpful and know their business. One minor point is that the size of the pool and its surrounds are a little small for the size of the hotel. The transfers to and from the hotel to the coach drop-off/pickup point were extremely well done, the driver could not have been more helpful. On the day we left, the timing was such that we had to miss breakfast. Without asking we were offered a takeaway breakfast for our journey and were provided with a lovely picnic. I have no hesitation whatsoever in giving Melina Bay a top rating

Can't wait to return to this excellent hotel. Some greedy people want five star for three star prices. Think the pictures reflect the size of the pool. There are plenty of five star hotels with huge pools. I still managed to swim in it. It's clean, central and staff cannot do enough for you. I loved the room, better than last time. I'm going to return for a third visit next year. It's better than the sister hotel on the front as it's just far enough away from the noise. I'd thoroughly recommend. There is no noise whatsoever at this hotel let me assure you! The outside space is lovely and a pleasure to eat breakfast in. Open your wallet and pay more if you want views!
