Marina Bay Aparthotel

The Hotels is locataed on very nice unique place. Beach is very beautiful and even the pool is with very clean water and nice view. But the food is less than average. Breakfast were terrible- only cheapest toast, we never seen fruits on the table, never... Whole my own family and friends were dissapointed. Dinner were not so bad, but very small range of meals.The waiting for the dinner was too long. Aircondition was not included in the price and doesnť work verry well. Cigarettes smoke everywhere, even in the morning in Restaurant.

Firstly, I am only writing a review concerning the restaurant at Marina Bay Hotel (I was unable to find a separate listing for it). We spent a nice couple of hours using the sunbeds belonging to the hotel on Mounda beach (12 euros for a pair) and decided to go to the hotel restaurant for lunch afterwards. The seating area is quite pleasant, overlooking the pool and the beach. My daughter and I found a table and waited to be served. In spite of it not being particularly busy (the restaurant was just over half full), even though serving staff saw us we were ignored for maybe 15-20 minutes, to the point where we were ready to up and leave (there were other tables also waiting for service and grumbling) We were served at last and I ordered a greek salad, which was really nice, my daughter ordered a pork gyros, which was.... unusual - the meat itself was ok, but oddly, placed on a bed of cold sliced ham and mayonnaise. Possibly the oddest experience in 10+ visits to Kefalonia, Just not the level of friendliness and service that we are used to on this wonderful island.

The location is amazing, the family and staff that run the hotel are all nice and welcoming. There is a great shop in the complex, all rooms have aircon and really I’ve been there twice and I’ll go again. The lattes they do are very tasty and the Greek salad they do is totally awesome. Love the place and love the atmosphere and people there.

We belonged to a Group of 13 and unfortunately did not enjoy one of the suites that most others had. Our room was in the Main building, very basic and not even a curtain around the shower! Nice balcony with seaview but no sun shade. Asked for assistance for the balcony at least 3 times but eventually gave up. Positive about breakfast was the daily availabilty of Hard boiled eggs, stodgy Joghurt and cereals. A young Lady controlled two toasters and secured ample supply. Otherwise no other forms of bread or rolls. Rating on scale of 1-10 is 3.

Lovely location, friendly staff, family run. On the beach. Rooms are lovely and clean and each one has a sea view. The only thing I feel would improve this venue is some greek music in the restaurant to go with the view and atmosphere.

Room was basic but clean and spacious. Shower needs attention, hand held and leaky. Lovely balcony with comfortable seating and table, great views overlooking the garden and beach. Very quiet location, peaceful and unspoilt. The biggest let down was the half-board, not very good. Breakfast was dreadful, the same everyday, cereals oats and cheap cornflakes. Greek yogurt. Toast, overcooked pieces of omelette, boiled eggs, cucumber & tomatoes, a plastic cheese & ham. Some haphazard pieces of plain sponge. This was it! Dinner wasn’t a lot better, our first night we had a very restricted menu, but at least a little choice, after that every night we were told what we could have eg. Stifado. Then they came back to say it was all gone! They could give us some gyro? It came with a few chips and a bit of pitta, not a bit of salad in sight. Asked for Greek salad and told it wasn’t available with dinner! This was at 7.45pm! We went to Skala the next few nights, only to try the restaurant again but this time only offered chicken and potatoes, which looked dreadful. There was no bar only the dining area and it closed for drinks at 10pm. As there are no local bars or tavernas nearby you had to pay for a taxi to go into Skala if you wanted to have a drink after dinner. Such a shame, if they improved the breakfast and dinner service, with somewhere to have a drink in the evening, and some music (tv permanently on in Greek with sound off) this would be a gem of a place!
