recently stayed at Hotel Marina Bay and had an overall pleasant experience. The hotel’s location is stunning, offering beautiful views of the bay and hills — perfect for a relaxing escape. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with daily housekeeping by friendly, efficient staff. Cleanliness was clearly a priority and added great value to the stay. The hotel has a small but well-maintained pool and a charming garden area in front, ideal for a morning coffee or evening drink. However, there are some drawbacks. The front desk was often unattended, making it difficult to get assistance when needed — a clear weakness in service. There’s also no spa, gym, or massage options, which may disappoint wellness-focused guests. A notable issue is the beach access: although the beach in front is beautiful, hotel guests are still charged for sunbeds and umbrellas. We were told the beach is managed separately, but the official receipt was issued by “Marina Bay,” which feels misleading. Another frustrating detail was the bathroom in our room — it lacked a proper shower enclosure, so after each shower, the entire floor would be wet, making it inconvenient to walk around. Despite these flaws, the hotel delivers in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and setting. All in all we might come again in this hotel.

“Fantastic hotel but could do better.”

This hotel is in a peaceful location on what must be the best sandy beach in Kefalonia. It is the only hotel on the wide beach although there is another hotel behind it but you are not aware of it.

This hotel is in a peaceful location on what must be the best sandy beach in Kefalonia. It is the only hotel on the wide beach although there is another hotel behind it but you are not aware of it. The rooms are spacious , airy and all have balconies or terraces facing the sea with direct access to the beach by walking over the lawns which have loungers and shady spots. Aircon is fitted to all rooms. It is a few minutes to Skala by car or taxi where you can find bars, shops etc. Too far to walk easily but we did it a few times. The manager, Georgia is a pleasure to deal with and very efficient. We have been a couple of times and would come again. We think it has the potential to be one of the very best hotels due to its unique location, but there are some negatives which could be fixed: * Breakfast offering is very poor indeed. Guests were bringing in their own jars of coffee, cereals, fruit, juices etc. Watered down OJ is not nice. * We only had a couple of evening meals, there are much better tavernas in Skala. * The bathrooms need refurbishing - they are showing their age and the cheap plastic fittings could be replaced. We hope the owner sells the property and enjoys his retirement and allows an outfit with some resources and ideas to take it over and turn it into a really amazing, luxurious hotel.

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.
