Samos Bay by Gagou Beach
Samos

Initially bypassed this hotel when looking for our holiday. But we were so glad we decided to book. It was so relaxing and left us feeling we had experienced something special. Authentic Greek food and drink with friendly helpful staff. Comfortable rooms and WOW! What a view from the room. Yes the hotel is a little tired, but that did not spoil our stay one bit. And the lack of pool was more than compensated by the beach which is a stones throw away. Clear waters ideal for snorkelling with so many fish to see. Samos town is easily walkable with many tavernas/bars and a wine museum which is worth a visit on the other side of the bay (2 euros well spent!). All in all this hotel gives everything and more for a quiet and relaxing break. I would definitely recommend it and will be going again.…... ++

An amazing holiday mainly because of the lovely hotel. We were AI and there’s plenty of choice and everything tastes homemade and authentic not like some places that serve nothing traditional! Staff work hard to keep everything full and tables clean. Staff were always efficient and the girl serving at the bar couldn’t do enough for us. (They don’t have an AI bar menu which would probably be handy) Rooms have plenty of storage space and shelves with the best views we’ve ever had. We read that showers were not great, this is true but there’s plenty of hot water and they’re spotless thanks to the great cleaners, it’s just that the curtain was too big for the shower base so soaks the floor if you have too much pressure, don’t let it bother you, just be careful. The sea is on the doorstep and another very happy girl works hard all day sorting beds, towels and if you pay for drinks she’ll go up and get them. I recommend this hotel highly if you’re looking for an authentic Greek holiday, we hired a moped from Aramis in the town for 3 days and went to all the sights that were suggested.…... ++

The sea was good. The hotel is walking distance to the port but it is not a convenient way to walk.... ++
