The Bay Hotel & Suites

扎島海邊5星酒店，喜歡

This is an excellent hotel in many respects. Where we make a couple of minor criticisms these are merely areas of polish that would make it even better, but overall we very much enjoyed our stay at the Bay. Firstly - and perhaps most importantly - the Bay Hotel is immaculately kept. Our room was spotless and daily housekeeping was undertaken to a very high standard. The common areas are also very good - there is a private beach, with a composite boardwalk to the pool area which was brushed and washed every morning. The pool is large and there is an excellent pool bar, with waiting staff who will bring drinks to your sunbed. And whilst I wouldn’t normally comment on sunbeds it is worth mentioning that these are sumptuous - perhaps the most comfortable we’ve ever used. We spent many hours reading, laying around the pool and beach area, with the waves lapping just a few feet away and it was idyllic. Our room was modern. The air conditioning worked well and was very quiet. Beds were comfortable and the linens - including robes, were of a very good quality. We had paid for a sea view and were treated to some spectacular sunrises across the sea towards the mainland coast of Greece. The bathroom was modern, with a large, walk-in shower but we did find that at peak times (6pm ish) the pressure could fall to a bit of a dribble. Other than that our room was very good. There was a good sized fridge in the room and they leave you 2 large bottles of water each day. There was also a small Nespresso machine which was nice to have in order to have a coffee when we first wake up. The choice for breakfast was extensive - plenty of hot and cold options, good breads and so on. Freshly squeezed orange juice was made on request from a large press and was excellent, and there was a Barista making coffees to order, with waiters pouring from jugs of filter coffee as well. I always have black coffee, so this was fine, but my wife prefers a cappuccino and at busy periods these could take up to 20 minutes to be made. The Barista was working hard to keep up, so either some additional help, or a bean-to-cup machine that guests could choose from instead, would be helpful. We paid for B&B and ate at some local tavernas: Mesala, Taverna Familia and Koukis within a few minutes walk and a fabulous Italian (Da Camillo) 1 mile away (20 min walk) but well worth the effort as the food there is exceptional. We also ate dinner at the hotel once. They had a 5 course menu however you can also just eat and pay for what dishes you want. The portions were generous so we just had a starter and main course which was enough for us. Now, my biggest criticism is the temperature of the hot food at breakfast. Warm, until it hit the plates, and then it went cold pretty quickly. The hotel has plates stacked in plate warmers, but they are stacked way above the heating elements such that, typically, around 20 plates, on the top of the stack, are all cold. You either have to manhandle a huge
