AKS Hinitsa Bay

Sadly this wonderful hotel has been bought to be redeveloped, though I imagine that most of the existing guests and staff think it is pretty perfect the way it has been for many years. So, thank you to all the great staff for your wonderful attention and service. Philakia.

Location was beautiful and rooms were nice. Food was not great. Not a lot of options unless you want the buffet. Lots of kids so can be noisy. Beach and pool were good. It’s better to drive to the next Town for dinner. The amenities were lacking.. one a few kayaks and you can go far with them.

A dated, tired, hotel staffed by the lowest quality untrained folks I have even encountered. Quite a clip, near three hour drive, from Athens, insufficient parking, The clueless staff the reception area. I booked with *******, my final check out rate was something higher than quoted and booked. A big hassle at check in over how many folks were in each room. One room had one the other two but I was overcharged for both. So disgusted with reception folks I gladly paid it just to get out of there and NEVER to return. A few bright spots, like Giorgia, Yiotisa, (May have butchered her nane) and Vasili at breakfast area. Genuinely took care of us. The girl registering guests at the breakfast buffet entrance desk was a delight. The rest did a fantastic job of avoiding eye contact and doing busy work. No visible supervision. Dingy 60’s style carpet at our floor corridor. Old furnishings. Tragic, tasteless dinner buffet. Lunch restaurant was good. The beach absolutely fantastic. Hotel absolutely crap! Now the cherry on the cake. Children everywhere. From Crying infants ALL THE TIME and EVERYWHERE to toddlers running around everywhere sticking their fingers in buffet food trays. I have not seen so many strollers and diapers since 1994. All this at ~€250/room per night. Unbelievable! Totally regret this wasted opportunity to enjoy a better part of Greece somewhere else. Just don’t! There’s better places virtually everywhere in Greece.

The most outstanding staff member is Yioula at the breakfast! We stayed at Chinitsa bay for 10 days and every single morning she was kind, helpful, smiley and she made our stay extraordinary! We felt like we were having breakfast at our most beloved friends house! She is the most valuable memeber of this hotel! Thank you Yioula!!

This was a wonderful beach resort that was kid friendly, with a great pool, beautiful beach, playground and good food, We only wished we could have stayed longer.

The property apparently will close in October and be remodeled for a new business model .

The hotel is located in an Amazing area, it is clean and the staff are doing the outmost to keep it clean at all times. The quality of the food is good but the variety is poor. Attitude of the staff is not as expected and there is no entertainment in the hotel for the kids other than a cinema at the late afternoon. Unfortunately the weather was not good the last two days we were in the hotel and we were so boarded because there was absolutely nothing to do.

Overall a good hotel, located at an amazing location right on a lovely bay. Two negative matters though: 1. Although a hotel which is supposed to be for families one could not find lunch before 1300 (!) and when we asked for at least a simple pasta at 1200 (because of our our departure before 1300) to be made for our hungry 2 year old they simply said “ the kitchen is closed”. We insisted but they made no effort to assist. 2. They need to change the dishwasher for the plates and glasses of the breakfast buffet as almost all had visible stains from food and juice on them. We complained about it on our first day but the issue continued for all mornings.
