Giannoulis - Grand Bay Beach Resort (Exclusive Adults Only)

Loverly quiet hotel, where the staff are very friendly and go beyond what some hotels do to make sure that your stay is all that you want it to be. If you need to know anything or anywhere to go just speak to the amazing Anna on reception she will do all she can to help you. The same with the wonderful Zoe guest relations manger she knows some other loverly beaches when it gets too windy which is not often. The rest of the team are just as good and if you like a good laugh then Mateo is your man as long as you don’t mention Football to him as you won’t hear the end of how good Liverpool are !. Hopefully we will see you all next year along with Anastasia and the rest of the team. Missing the hotel and the location already and we have only just got back.

We booked this adults hotels because we wanted a complete break and I have to say it's the most relaxing hotel we've ever stayed in. We booked a junior suite (311) which meant that we had sunbeds directly outside the door and a private shared pool (Far too cold) The thought of not chasing after a sunbed and waking up to a view of the sea from your own bed is marvellous. Food and drink were great and the whole team from Reception, Pool Staff, Bar, Restaurant, Maid Service, was exceptional. Here's a tip...We booked the Tasting Tour with the hotel that takes you out on a mini basis to a n umber of different places. I won't spoil the fun. Suffice to say, it was the best 40 Euros per person we've ever spent on a holiday trip. Thanks to everyone at the hotel. We're already planning our next trip next October. Hoping to get 311 again...Please!

We were disappointed by our 3-day stay at this hotel. Although the hotel claims to be all-inclusive, a lot is extra, unless you have gone "premium all-inclusive. So the pina coladas are included in the "all inclusive" but the non-alcoholic version you have to pay for. Similarly the bar remains open after 11p.m. but you have to pay for drinks after then. Many of the sunloungers round the pool are reserved for specific (premium) rooms and all the other sunloungers round the pool had been bagged by 8 am. Even the beach sunloungers could only be reserved for guests staying a minimum of 4 nights. The view is barren and the beach is stony. Whoever is in charge of catering needs to up their game. We got to know the salads well. They would be out on the serving tables for 3 hours, and would then reappear at the next meal: the feta, the tuna and the sauces especially. There was some, but not that much, fish. All the "hot" food was lukewarm and even after a couple of days we found the food same-y. Tinned fruit was served. The hotel needs more investment. The main hotel WCs, for instance (which you accessed by walking past the servery for the "hot" food) had a door on the gents which did not lock, a broken urinal and a light which went out after 15 seconds - so you needed to be quick! The wifi speed was intermittent. Streaming a film could be hard work. And our room was a litany of small things that a decent hotel would have noticed and fixed: the bathroom door was warped and could not close. The bathroom (other than over the sink) was dimly lit, the shower was weak, and with an inadequate shower screen. The bedroom reading light was too dim to read by, the patio door let in water, and Reception wanted to charge us extra to be able to use the safe deposit box in our room. You can see that the hotel used to be 5* but it has had its fifth star taken away. Apart from that, the hotel was OK, and the waitresses were kind, cheerful and helpful.

My husband and I have just returned from 10 days at Grand Bay hotel. We loved the view, the room, the food but the wonderful staff were just incredible. Every one of them was friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone smiles all the time. I would like to particularly thank: Andreas - a fantastic bartender who gave great service and always asked how we were. Ana - who greeted us on arrival and made us feel so welcome. Always on hand to help. Zoe - who was always there at mealtimes to keep everything running smoothly. She went above and beyond with our food queries. Sarantos - always there to greet us with a cheery “kaliméra.” We have stayed in many hotels all over the world but found Grand Bay an exceptionally wonderful one. We can’t wait to go back and are planning to return next September.

We have had a great time. It was quieter location wise than we expected. Staff were amazing we booked a standard swim up room and when arrived had been up graded to a junior suite only problem we got no sun all day , so did not use the sun beds or pool. So we went round to the main area.Everyday despite having a sign saying you could not reserve sun beds this happened everyday. We only got a sunbed by the pool once in 10 days. A friend with a sea view people said were putting towels out at 00:30 to 06:00 and some were not turning up till lunch time. To me a hotel with limited sun beds should not be allowing this . When I mentioned this I was told they had tried to stop it but could not 😡 a poor excuse in my eyes if bums aren’t on seats by 10am they should be stepping in and taking peoples stuff away . We stayed in a hotel that if by 8 am people were not with their belongings they took them away and they had to pay 2 euro to get it back 😂 this worked. But may u say apart from this gripe we enjoyed our time here . Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere and they went above and beyond for my birthday the a le cart restaurant was great.

Excellent hotel, the staff are just the best, so friendly and welcoming can’t do enough for you. Anna on reception, Zoe in the restaurant and Mateo in the Al a carte just a few who really stood out. The place is really clean the food was excellent and a great choice. It was peaceful and relaxing. You were genuinely made to feel special. Would we go back? Most definitely so much so we’ve already booked for next year. You could tell they really value the hotel guests. We even got a gift on our departure. We can’t wait to go back. If you’re thinking of booking then do it you won’t be disappointed.

This is a lovely hotel, great position on the beach which is sand and shingle, not sure it meets the 4 stars but a good 3 star. Sea is gorgeous but you do need beach shoes as very stoney. The staff are amazing and so lovely as stated on other reviews. The category of the suites was a bit confusion as I thought I had booked a sea front view but I was told it had to be a beach front view for it to actually be on the beach over looking the sea so that was disappointing as when I looked back on the booking page there was not a beach front option. It was a nice large room with a very small sea view in the middle of the hotel.Food was a good standard and reasonable choice, wasn’t quite sure about the olive oil night, it was nice but the link to olive oil not clear and an additional cost. The Al a crate restaurant was lovely and def worth the drinks cost as it was worth splitting up the days from the buffet restaurant. The local village is very small with limited options but we did have a lovely meal out. Being adult only it was very quiet which was strange initially but def added the relaxation factor and we quickly appreciated it. I would return as we had a lovely time the weather was amazing and the staff were so lovely.

We have just returned from our second visit to this brilliant hotel, set right on the beach in the small village of Kolymbari. The hotel has 78 rooms with several choices of accommodation, some with sea views others with garden views. Just read the room descriptions and compare the prices to choose what is best for you and your budget. The buffet food is excellent, superb breakfast choices, lunch and dinner have several Greek choices which were seldom repeated during our week's stay. There is also a huge salad bar. The all inclusive drinks were excellent too. It is not just the food and location which makes this hotel so brilliant, the staff too are all very friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble, you just have to ask. The housekeeping staff provide a first rate twice daily service including both bath and beach towels if necessary. There is low key evening entrainment on some evenings, and the bar and lounge areas have comfortable seating areas in which to enjoy it or just to chat with friends or other guests. Some of the sun beds around the pool are reserved for those guests with swim up rooms, but there are others and plenty located on the beach. The sea was lovely and warm during our visit, but best to take/buy swim shoes if you like to swim in the sea. The beach bar closes at seven o'clock when the indoor bar opens. If you want want a lively action packed holiday this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing beachside adults only holiday with good food you will not be disappointed. We are certainly planning to return next year.

We have just returned from a week at the Grand Bay and what a fabulous week we had, so I will keep this review simple… Rooms: Immaculate Restaurant: Immaculate Pool: freezing but immaculate All of the staff from the management, the boys and girls in the restaurant the bar staff and housekeepers are so super friendly welcoming and genuinely happy to help. It was one of the nicest places we have been to. For us it was a week of pure relaxation we have recharged our batteries and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Grand Bay…it’s definitely somewhere that we will return to. Maybe just one thing I’d do differently and that’s get private transportation to and from the airport….it’s a good 90 minutes transfer (depending on how quickly people get on the coach)…. If you book you so t be disappointed……Enjoy x
