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.…... ++

Having travelled to the maldives in March and spending a fortune we had a cheap summer holiday in samos bay. (It was cheaper than self catering). The hotel was very clean and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The food was nice but limited in choice. The pool was being refurbished but the beach is so near and the sea is as clear as the maldives so no problem. There are immigrants in the afternoon but they aren't allowed to the tourist part of the beach. They don't bother you at all. Ollie who looks after the beach and brings drinks etc does a great job. Car hire is very cheap and the island is beautiful so well worth a drive round. Its not the best hotel but if you want luxury pay for the maldives. As for me I loved it here... ++

I'n fact there are two beaches side by side at the same place. One belongs to the hotel and the other to a restaurant. If you stay at the hotel, things are easier and comfortable. The best thing about Gagou Beach is its location; you are in the center of the most beautiful city (to me) of the Island. The sea is clean and waveless, you can even walk to down town, you can order beverages while lying down on yor sunbed. What else?... ++
