Lovely hotel right on the very beach front, which was amazing eating on the shoreline to the sound of the sea. The sea was warm and calm and clear, well on most of our days anyway! Nice rooms with very comfy beds and the vibe is very calm and quiet perfect for a restful break as it's adults only. Food was local and lovely each time we ate, all inclusive wine was unusually nice! Special shout out to the lovely Zoe in the dining room who made our stay special as it was our anniversary and who upgraded us to their sister hotel (see another review!), we were sad to leave Andreas in the bar who was fantastic. Would definitely return, thanks for a lovely stay and thanks again Zoe x
This is a really nice smaller hotel set in a very quiet area. The hotel itself is literally on the beach and only yards from the sea which is fantastic. It’s a small hotel and the staff are superb nothing is too much trouble and they are so friendly. Rooms are nice and if you want the best experience you need a sea view room with shared pool and your own reserved sun beds Not a lot of sun beds otherwise but never seemed a problem. The outdoor restaurant area is amazing being only a few yards from the sea. If you want a very quite relaxing holiday then this is for you. We really enjoyed it.
We are now back home after an absolutely wonderful sisters’ getaway in Greece! Even though the weather wasn’t quite on our side during the first few days, it didn’t bother us one bit! At Grand Bay Beach Resort – Giannoulis Hotels, we had everything we could have wished for, and more! We stayed in one of the hotel’s beautiful junior suites, enjoyed incredibly delicious food, relaxing massages, and a wonderful atmosphere. But what truly made our stay so special was the absolutely amazing staff! From the very first moment, we felt so welcome and genuinely cared for. Our week turned out to be everything we had hoped for, filled with laughter, relaxation, and beautiful memories that we will cherish for a long time. A very special thank you to Zoe, George, Costas, Sarantos, and Xenia, and of course to all the other wonderful staff members! One thing is certain – we will definitely be back!
