Melina Bay Boutique Hotel

A great location wasted upon a hotel that is jaded and unloved with signs of sooty mould on the walls, marks on tired furnishings and a bathroom that readily leaked into the room to create slip hazards. The breakfast food selection could be great but is let down by poor temperature and replenishment. The most negative point being the staff who are more focused upon their own agenda than the needs of paying guests. Overall this points to a lack of proper management or a surplus of mis-management.

Melina Bay exceeded all of our expectations. Staff were lovely, and the facility itself was absolutely beautiful and in an even more beautiful location. Just a short walk to beautiful beaches and restaurants. They even left us a little ‘goodbye’ gift when we left! Thank you to everyone at Melina Bay for everything.

Virtually from our arrival we found that hospitality had been replaced with hostility. Initially, we thought this started with Gina the receptionist but found in streamed down from the owners wife. The description of ‘Boutique’ should be ‘Bijou.’ The rooms are small and have two tone walls: white and sooty mould. All electric goes off when you leave the room with your key. Consequently with the aircon off your clothing gets damp in the little wardrobe and drawers. The shower has marble flooring so is a slip hazard when wet and water easily escapes through the bathroom to the tiled room floor! The included breakfast could be good if the cooked food was kept hot and other items replenished. However, the long distance conversations by staff at opposite ends of the dining room do little to assist ambiance On the plus side the harbour views are good as is proximity to a charming beach and some wonderful bats and restaurants along the Main Street. We love Corfu. It this experience makes us unlikely to return.

Just returned home, and I can’t praise this hotel or staff enough. Can honestly say that the staff are the friendliest and most helpful anywhere. Hotel is in prime position directly on the harbour with wonderful views. All restaurants are within a very short walk. In October it was very quiet but imagine could be noisy from bars and restaurants mid season. Go for a harbour view - we spent hours on the balcony relaxing and enjoying the view. Breakfasts excellent - buffet service, hot and cold with always a Greek hot speciality item. Loved the breakfast Greek salad in the individual bowl. This hotel came highly recommended and I can see why. Try it - am sure you wont regret it.spotlessly clean as well and large bedrooms.

We’ve just arrived home after a weeks stay at the Melina Bay Hotel and we cannot fault anything about this hotel. The setting and location is beautiful being just on the marina/bay. While having breakfast you get to take in the lovely views and we paid for a harbour side room and we weren’t disappointed with the view. The breakfast was delicious, so fresh with plenty of options. We both agreed that this was the best breakfast we’ve ever had at a buffet breakfast. The two girls working at breakfast every day were so welcoming, very attentive and made the experience extra special. The rest of the staff were also a credit to the hotel with all of them always going out of their way to greet us when coming and going from the hotel, making sure we were enjoying our stay and check in/check out staff were lovely. Cleaners did a great job each day of our room and they were so polite greeting us each morning when we were going down to breakfast. The rooms were spacious, clean and bright. Plenty of space to hang clothes and drawers for storage. Bed comfortable, air con good quality and shower powerful. We ate a couple of times on an evening in the hotel and they were fresh, good quality and got plenty for the price. When returning back to our room on the last night we were left a small gift package from the hotel which was a great touch and topped off the holiday. We will definitely be staying here again if we return to Corfu and would recommend it to anyone!

Came here on the recommendation of a friend and we loved it. The setting is superb and a real plus is that there are less than 30 rooms. The view from breakfast is so special… you can hear the water in the bay. Equally the pool has a lovely view across the bay as do all the rooms. There always seemed to be boats arriving and leaving which was nice to watch. A plus is that breakfast is served until 11am and had a good variety of food and fruit every day. We stayed a week at end of sept- early October and weather was a bit mixed on 2 days due to a storm, but still warm. We hired a quad bike to explore the island, and were so glad we were staying in Kassiopi. Thank you to Gina and all the staff for your great service. Hope to return next year.
