"Our room was on the sea side with a view of the sea in the far distance. The room was simple and clean with a good comfortable double bed with plenty of pillows, a table and chair, bathroom with shower, small fridge , balcony with a table and 2 chairs and a good working air conditioner. We had a rental car and could park it very near the hotel for free. The hotel is located in a neighborhood between the local Samos residents. We enjoy that. walking distance to the old town and the harbor with plenty of restaurants and shops. The friendly service and Greek hospitality is what makes this hotel special."

"Samian Mare We stayed next door in the Erato (I have reviewed this separately), but it is part of Samian Mare Hotel. Everything we used, food, drink, entertainment etc we had to go to Samian Mare Hotel which is literally next door. Can’t comment on the hotel per se as we didn’t stay there but can only comment on the parts of Samian Mare we did use. Food We ate each day at the Samian Mare as part of our all-inclusive package. Apparently they will prepare a food basket to take with you if you’re going out for the day. Lovely selection for breakfast, hot and cold, salads, meats, cheese, couldn’t fault it. Such a full selection for lunch, something for everyone I felt. Presented nicely and replenish with frequency. Evening Meal, again couldn’t fault it, fantastic selection of tasty cuisine. Snacks apparently, but we didn’t see any. Ice cream, which wasn’t best quality was only available 16.00-17.00. The none smoking areas outside were very small. That area needs to be extended and separate from the smokers, it was horrible. The buffet area was inside and out (out had plenty of shade). The tiles were like ice once wet and after a bit of rain one day, I slipped even though I had rubber shoes on. Drinks, Tea/coffee (if you wanted decent premium coffee, you had to pay for it) If you want real orange juice, again you have to pay for this. Beers were all day suppa’s but drinkable, white/red local wine, quite nice and again drinkable. Cocktails made with local spirits, which were not my taste. Premium spirits again payable, not really all inclusive. Entertainment Only stayed one evening, traditional Greek Dancing and it was really good and fun. Not a lot is happening in the evening. Many guests playing cards sitting around the bar area. We walked around most evenings. Bus transfer from the airport can take 1.30-2 hours as it’s the last hotel stop. Get a private transfer, takes about 30 minutes. Pool The pool was just so crowed, even though it didn’t open until 10am. The pool had to be shared by guests staying at Erato. The beds were always occupied, not enough of them, not enough umbrellas. No anti slip matting around the pool and the tiles were like ice once wet. There was a toilet down a few steps, again, so dangerous once wet and of course these were wet all day. We spent our time on the beach. No men’s swim shorts allowed, men must wear a t-shirt in the buffet area although women were going to the buffet in inappropriate dress, seemed a bit unfair I felt. All in all, loved the part of Samos (Karvolassi) where we stayed (northwestern coast) but it was a very quiet resort."

"We stayed here for 7 nights in a deluxe room in the main building with a garden view. The room was nice and just as pictured - clean, modern, and comfortable. However, a few details were disappointing: no kettle, only a small coffee machine with four pods for the entire stay, and neither coffee nor water was replenished. Clean towels everyday but no bed linen changed. The biggest issue was how overcrowded the hotel felt. By 9am, most sunbeds were taken - many reserved even earlier. The breakfast area was chaotic, with limited options and no fresh juices. The overall atmosphere fell far short of what we’d expect from a 5 star hotel. The beach was packed, with frequent low flying planes. Food there was average and overpriced. Cocktails from the bar were poorly made. We ended up renting a car and exploring the island and nearby beaches, using the hotel mostly to sleep and shower. Disappointing, especially given the premium price. This resort might suit families with kids (there were a lot) but for couples or those seeking peace and quiet, it doesn’t live up to its 5 star rating."

"كل شيء كان مثالياً!"

"Dirty! We should have left from the first moment and called the health department! Shame on our country! We stayed with my family from 20/07/23 to 25/07/23 by necessity after I had booked it with social tourism vouchers! We had planned to stay (before we went) another three days! I will only refer to our rooms! We didn't expect luxuries! Didn't we mind the small old-fashioned TV that didn't catch any channels or rust on the water heater but the phone in the shower and the short curtain in the bathroom that were yellowed by the passage of time? or /and/ the lera? On the balcony, ropes for hanging clothes and 3 clothes pegs! The small table and the plastic chairs for the balcony were on top of a wardrobe and they also needed cleaning! They changed our towels when the 5 days that were paid for by our cashier were now over and bearing in mind that we would stay another 3 days at our own expense! When we were leaving (and after he asked us for the legal sanction to cancel the reservation) we told him about the above (complaints) he told us that we had to tell each other from the first day to give us other rooms! In other words, he had more clearly, but he gave them selectively? We have been going every year for 15 years on vacations with and without social tourism and we have never encountered anything like this before! I am amazed at the good comments that some have written!"

"لا توجد أي شكاوى، مكان إقامة رائع، ونانسي كانت مضيفة رائعة. المنظر خلاب. الغرفة جيدة، ونمت نومًا عميقًا، ولا شكاوى أيضًا، لكن كون الزيارة خارج الموسم جعل التجربة هادئة بعض الشيء. يُنصح بتجنب مشروب الأوزو، وأنا متأكد من أن نانسي اللطيفة تفهم ما أقصده. لم أزر أي جزيرة يونانية من قبل، وساموس كانت رائعة حقًا. التاريخ فيها مذهل. اتصل بسائق التاكسي واطلب سيارة أجرة رقم 20، ديمتري، فهو ممتاز."

"Beautiful hotel, nice service and that's where I'd end it. The food was one of the worst I've ever eaten. Maximum of 2 good dishes a day to choose from. There's no point in talking about the bar... drinks that aren't these drinks taste disgusting, and if we want to drink anything better, we have to pay €9 for something that can't even be flushed down the toilet. It tastes like the cheapest fruit concentrate but is completely sterile and has half-melted ice lying around."

"Returned to this little gem after ten years to find it is as amazing as the first time we stayed. We had the Sea View suite which is a real treat - it having its own large terrace with your own sunbeds and umbrella as well as a table and chairs. The owners and staff here are wonderful and work very hard to ensure your stay is a happy and memorable one from the very warmest of welcomes to bidding you a genuinely fond farewell - nothing is too much trouble. Special mentions to the owner Ari and his son Alex and a huge shout out to the wonderful Eleni, Efi and Vicki (the talented chef)the stars of the show at breakfast (incidentally one of the best breakfasts you will find anywhere). These delightful, welcoming and very friendly ladies work so very hard to make breakfast a wonderful experience - which it is - sitting on the terrace looking out over the bay - they are without doubt a credit to Ari and we hope to see them there when we return. A special mention also to Vicki for the delicious fresh cake and cookies at breakfast - what a treat - I am now the proud owner of the cookie recipe which I intend to make at home. You also have the fabulous Mario and Fotis taking care of afternoons and the delicious evening meals and drinks. Again, very genuine and friendly,who go out of their way to help. We read with disbelief a previous review that we feel is no way representative of the experience you will have at Armonia Bay. It is a beautiful intimate boutique hotel, peaceful and relaxing, with very special staff, a very special atmosphere in a very special picturesque location. We can't wait to return"
