Kassandra Bay Resort, Suites & Spa

Wonderful hotel in a beautiful setting, close to Skiathos town and the airport. Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was very good

From the moment we arrived we were met with the most loveliest smiley staff that I have ever come across in a hotel. The reception manager is an asset to the hotel he sees all and makes sure everything runs smoothly in a quiet and assured manner. The waiting on staff are fabulous, attentive without being intrusive. Kelly is another asset, but whoever trained the staff needs a mention too. The lifeguard who helped then man in the wheelchair brought a tear to my eye he was so caring. A wonderful experience was had. Thank you all.

2nd stay here and it’s Really nice play to stay. Food and drinks are 1st class. High quality spirits at the bar and really nice cocktails. All staff are friendly and do their upmost for anything you need. The rooms are spotless and have everything you need. The hotel is right on the beach where the sunbeds are free and plenty off. Waiter service available all day for drinks etc. Bus stop number 8 is right outside and is 5 minutes into skiathos at €2 a person. This run every 20mins. Or you can get a water taxi from the beach into skiathos at €4 per person. This takes about 20minites.

This was the 3rd visit to KBS. The previous visits to the suites were great, designated breakfast area, occasional sparkling wine offered but the best reason for paying more for the suites is the access to the infinity pool, a haven of calm tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle of the main hotel area.. or... it used to be. This visit saw the infinity area with a fair number of people who don't understand quiet pool etiquette.. Loud, piercing voices and raucous laughter from groups , towels on empty sunbeds which didn't see a body on them for ages, playing music, not through personal headphones but phone or small speakers so we all had to share their musical tastes in 1950s rock n roll and a female couple getting intimate in the pool and whipping off their tops to sunbathe (very 1970s) A very different experience and one, which sadly, we won't repeat. The refurb at KB seems to have encouraged a very different feel to what was previously a real haven,even the pillows were as hard as bricks, not sure what the filling was but so heavy, I needed 2 hands to chuck it on the floor. However the staff, as on previous visits were excellent, friendly and willing.

Lovely hotel in stunning location. We had a standard room with a sea view. Two nice pools. Free sunbeds on the beach. Never an issue getting a sunbed by the beach or pool. Only on one occasion did we have to get one by the pool instead of the beach. Very helpful and attentive staff. Eating wise, we ate a few times at the hotel’s Black Olive restaurant and also at the Sorokos taverna next door, both with lovely sea views. We also caught the water taxi to Skiathos town from the beach by the hotel - cost of 4 euros per person each way - to eat and to wander round . You can also get the bus or a taxi easily into the town. Supermarkets a 12 or 15 minute walk from the hotel depending which way you go. Easier walk was 15 minute one heading right out of the hotel. We also walked into Skiathos town a couple of times - about 40 minutes to the port area. Only 3 euros each on the bus to Koukounaries beach, which was well worth the trip. Bus stop 8 is right outside the hotel. You can also do various boat trios from Skiathos town to Scopelos including a Mamma Mia themed one.

On the whole very good. Probably a 4 star. Good location and boat 4 euros to town works well. Note there is a short walk on the beach to reach the jetty. Bus 2 euros taxis 12 euros to town 20 euros to airport. Staff all charming with special mention to our dedicated concierge at the Suites. However all their efforts tainted by rude hotel OWNER who seemed to think it acceptable to have a mobile phone conversation on speaker in the Perlagos bar. Unfortunately he was also hard of hearing so both ends were shouting. When I pointed out this was extremely unacceptable to his guests trying to enjoy a quiet Spritz and enjoying the view he shouted at me saying he was doing business - doesn't he have an office? All quite unpleasant. Good shower although the door frame was missing inside the bathroom - shabby. Could have done with an additional chair in the bedroom. Wardrobe needed an area for us ladies with long dresses. Mozzie screen a Godsend we survived a whole week without a bite. Special mention to our housekeeper. Despite numerous notices sunbeds reserved at Infinity pool and one day 2 beds not used all day. Unfortunately one starts and everyone then follows. There are only 18 beds with shade. The other section of beds needs umbrellas and this would help. Only ate breakfast which was in keeping with standard of hotel. Didn't use gym or spa. Bar service excellent for post dinner snifter.
