Sissi Bay Hotel

We booked this hotel knowing it is mainly aimed at the European visitors. The hotel has an official tourist board rating of 4 star however our agent sold it to us as 3 star.
We found the hotel clean bright and well maintained. Breakfast was aimed at the continental clients ( cold meat jam cheese etc) & we found lunch and dinner very good with a selection of salads, Cretan and international dishes.
The hotel has a small pool with pool bar local drinks included ( brandy, wine , beer, ouzo. raki), imported drinks available at extra cost. We found the staff friendly, courteous and efficient. We would go again

Accommodation was basic but very clean, staff were< on the whole very rude to English people in general. If there are more than two of you the bar staff will question you about the amount of drinks you get from the bar every time. Then tell you the English think they are very clever ? What they meant by this god only knows. There were three couples in our group the men were drinking lager only half pints allowed.
two of the woman drank mainly water and I drank lemon , mainly because you could not get any spirits even though we were all inclusive.
The food was edible but not a lot choice. The Sissi Bay Hotel is the only place that we have had to pay for air conditioning when visiting Greece .
The Jolly Roger next door is a lovely bar as is the bar at the end of the road.
The small swimming pool side of hotel they are the place’s we spent our money I would not give the Sissi bay another penny.
I would go to Sissi the resort again it is lovely but I would say give the Sissi bay hotel a very wide berth.
My 5 point rating only pertains to the cleaning staff.

Having just returned from the Sissi Bay Hotel, I found the hotel to be very clean and the bedrooms fresh and recently decorated. The hotel is definitely not a 4* by British standards but all the hotel rooms have television and a small fridge and are generally comfortable. It is definitely advisable to pay the extra for the air conditioning(about 50 euros per week) and it makes your stay a whole lot more pleasant.
The hotel is located right beside a rocky beach but the situation is excellent with the a constant breeze and the sound of the sea, it really makes this an idyllic spot.
Now unfortunately, the bad news. If you take the All Inclusive deal you will definitely need that little fridge in your room to put some edible food in. The food is awful and don’t ask for butter for your bread at lunchtime or dinner. You will not be allowed it, even although, the bread is the only thing that you can eat !!!!!
The staff in the dining room were generally not as nice as the bar staff who were very pleasant and helpful. Be prepared to eat out and most of restaurants in the little village are excellent. Would go back again to the Sissi Bay Hotel but this time self catering
