We have just returned from the Bay hotel. On the whole ,it was a good holiday. The area around the hotel is quiet and surrounded by olive trees. The staff were very nice and most helpful. Breakfast's were ok but the standard of the evening meal needed to be better. The... more

Lovely hotel, in a quiet location, well away from places like Laganas, although that is within easy car journey . Great walking country. Best bit was not full of 'clubbers', no loud music played all day around pool as in some other hotels. 30 somethings upwards... more

My girlfriend and I visited the Bay Suites in July 2007, having read several reviews which were less than complimentary about the hotel. Quite simply the standard of staff service, room standards and food quality were excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. The only... more

Me and my boyfriend have just returned home after a very pleasant stay at the Bay hotel and suites. As we went during October, the season had nearly finished and therefore the hotel and surrounding areas were very quiet, which was not a bad thing for us. However, some... more

After reading the bad reviews I was concerned about what we had booked. Ok we are talking 4 star Greece here not 4 star England/Spain. The rooms are quite big and clean. The cleaner comes in every day. The towels are changed daily and the sheets twice a week. All the hotel... more

Great location for quiet family vacation
We have been already 9 times on various islands in Greece. Most of the big hotels offered loud animation for All-Inclusive guest. This hotel offers great service, quiet animation and no All-In, which definitely has an impact on the guest at the hotel. The owners take care, that there are no real majorities from any nation, it´s a mixed up European experience. My recommodation: If you look for a quiet vacation together with your kids. If you look for a fancy stylish hotel. If you look for a greek high quality kitchen<br... more
Great place to stay
I start this review by mentioning that we were in two minds whether to cancel our holiday at this hotel after reading the reviews posted on this site, but to be totally honest we are glad that we didn't. We did however consult our tour operator over certain matters prior to going for peace of mind. Rating: Firstly there seems to be conflicting information regarding the 'star' rating of this hotel and one must bear in mind that with all due respect the Greek star ratings do fall below par of UK standards. However the issue is... more
Management response from ssourris

many thanks for your comments and suggestions. * please accept our sympathy and appologies your shower/wc being small! our bedrooms are in 9 different buildings and are all different, so are the bathrooms - most quite adequate in size .(although the interior deco is the same in all). ** i would like to inform future guests that there will never be any building work at the neighboring unfinished hotel, during the summer months (may-october) , if at all . *** i would also like to make a small correction:- the hairdryers are not for hire; there is a refundable deposit of 10 euro and these are obtained at the reception. - kind regards -

In the middle of nowhere
After reading a few negative reviews before we went we were a little worried about what to expect. We had a suite with a sea view. Suite was very spacious, very minimalistic as shown in First Choice brochure but when you look closely at the decor etc everything is finished to a poor standard. A slight smell of damp in suite as well. A kettle was provided but no coffee, teabags etc were given. Also it said in the brochure hairdryer provided but you have to get one from reception for a 10 euro deposit if they have any. We'd paid quite a... more
Not a fan
My girlfriend and I have just returned from a week staying at the Bay hotel in Zante. On arriving at the hotel we were told our room was not ready so we waited until a cleaner lady took us to a block of apartments away from the reception area. We entered the room and before we had even had a chance to say anything we were offered another room that was part of the complex where the reception and restuarant were etc....Our faces must have spoke a thousand words. The next room was clean however the toilet stank and continued to do so throughout... more
Fantastic Hotel and Location
Just spent a week at the Bay Hotel and Suites. Although the rooms are minimalistic in style, they are very spacious and comfortable. Linen and towels were changed on a daily basis, and although we had to make up the bed everyday, this was no hardship. The staff were all very pleasant and extremely helpful, and were very knowledgeable about the area. Not too much entertainment in the evening, but there again, we didn't go there for the entertainment and spent many a happy hour in the bar! The Food was excellent, something for... more
Great hotel in fantastic setting (Formerly Golden Bay Village)
After some reservations from reading other reviews, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel was in a great setting right on the beach and it was very clean and comfortable. Our room was lovely and overlooked the ocean. It was set in quiet surroundings just as the brochure stated. We ventured out on the local bus into Zante Town and took a couple of First Choice excursions. One was the Jeep Safari visiting various places around the island, the highlight being Smugglers Cove which looked every bit as gorgeous as all the photos in... more
Great Location,Hotel okay..
My boyfriend and I have just returned from a one week holiday at The Bay Hotel & Suites. We stayed in one of the suites because all hotel rooms were booked. On arrival we were led to our suite which on entry we both considered to be very spacious however very bare with colours like grey, white and lilac which made the room seem very cold. Very much unlike the usual warm colorful surroundings in Greece. The suite was clean and from our big terrace we had a nice view over the lush green gardens and the blue ocean in the background. Def. a plus... more
Never again!
I've just come back from this hotel and what a dive! The owners ran out of money, that's the reason there's a big unfinished building site next door and the finish on the rooms (especially bathrooms) are terrible. The rooms are definetly minimalist, but as for chic - you must be joking! We moved rooms because our room smelt of damp especially the mattress. Our new room didn't smell of damp but it just looked like what I imagine a prison cell to look like... painted grey and nothing on the walls... oh apart from some boards which were... more
Lovely place, but......
Me and my boyfriend have just returned home from a 2 week holiday at the bay hotel and suites in zakynthos. Firstly, I would like to say that zakynthos is a lovely place and the people are really helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the scenery and the relaxing atmosphere the island has to offer, the sea was lovely and warm and the beaches in vassilikos are beautiful (esp Gerakas beach). However, we didnt feel that the hotel lives up to the way it is portrayed in either the information provided by our tour operator or the pictures... more
Hated the bay hotel but loved Zakynthos
Excellent sea but terrible service, terrible breakfast, air conditioning not properly functioning. It is a pity for such an island to have an hotel like that
