Reviews for Messinian Bay
Review 1:Disappointing that my card had been debited before arrival - I had intended to pay cash, and that Restaurant was not serving any evening meal - nothing on web site to suggest the Restaurant was seasonal.
Review 2:Location and views . Helpful front desk
Review 3:Restaurant was not able to provide a full menu or service (especially vegetarian or non meat dishes) out of the main season. No kettle in the room
Review 4:Great view of the Bay; the pool and access to beach. Good taverna with a great view just next door.
Review 5:Safe not availble in room.
Review 6:Fiendy staff ,very wide range and excellent quality/taste both@bkfst & lunch/dinner. Excellent pool & beach facilities& service. Aa Room facilities.
Review 7:Nothing really - only small issue was that internet connectivity was sometimes problematic, but overall, no big deal
Review 8:Everything about this place was wonderful. Great location, right on the beach, lovely swimming pool - amazing views across the bay, fantastic breakfast each morning with a wide selection of choices, enjoyed on a beautiful terrace. The room appeared to have been recently renovated - good furnishings, very comfortable bed and lovely big clean and newish bathroom. The staff were all both friendly and efficient. We loved this hotel so much that we extended our 3 night stay to 7 nights. We would highly recommend Messinian Bay Hotel and are so happy we chose this lovely hotel for our stay in Kalamata. You do need a car however as it's outside Kalamata proper but that for us added to the beauty of this hotel. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making this an amazing hotel to stay at, enhancing our Greek holiday experience. Whenever we are lucky enough to come to Greece again, we will return to this lovely region and to the wonderful Messinian Bay Hotel!
Review 9:Worst service I have experienced. We would have to look for the waitress who was too busy talking to her boyfriend, and then she asked if the can charge our drinks to our room because she was to lazy to go get us change. We went for food...we were sitting for 7-10 minutes and finally somebody came over and asked if we had already ordered although we were clearly sitting at an empty table and hadn't even looked at menus. My husband ordered a beer that he never got. My brother came and got a room since we were staying there and decided he wanted another night and got attitude from the guy at the front desk because he didn't ask for 2 nights when he first checked in instead of being happy he wanted to give more money for an extra night at their hotel. When we were checking out we told all our complaints at the front desk and they were like what can we do? I said so many people are looking for jobs and the people you have obviously don't appreciate theirs...you can easily find someone who will gladly do a better job and appreciate that they even have a job in the Greece's crisis. His response? It's not that easy. I beg to differ. I know plenty of people who would love to work there and do a great job!
Review 10:The rooms are nice and clean. Great view. Great food. Private beach and pool area.
Review 11:nothing. Wifi in the room was slow
Review 12:Super friendly staff, we had forgot our Phone in the hotel and they did all in their power to get it back to us. Super service. Very nice big swimmingpool, very good breakfast with lovely fruit.
Review 13:Very, very, very bad wi-fi:( it was impossible to connect especially in the evening. If you travel without car the only way to go to town is to call a taxi, there is no buses. Enter to the sea is very difficult- big stones and without slippers it's barely possible.
Review 14:Hotel is ok- all chambers have beautiful view, personnel is polite and ready to help, breakfast is not big but there was some variety. Beach is not big and full of stones BUT in comparison with sand ones it's easier to be there even if it's very hot.
Review 15:Some staff had an attitude of serving customers. Maybe the heat got to them. If they don't like there job. Give it to someone else that wants to work.
Review 16:Location was excellent
Review 17:Far from restaurants or tavernas, hotel restaurant with limited menu (rather Italian then Greek style cuisine)
Review 18:Nice pebble beach, breakfast, wifi, sea view
Review 19:Lovely and clean rooms,friendly and helpful staff ! Views from the room is magnificent! Massive terrace, beautiful private beach! Excellent breakfast, so much choice!
Review 20:Hotel beach is tiny, with sliippery stones, but within 200 meters there is a village beach, more comfortable . I would recommend the hotel to make a sort of small wooden bridge or something to make entrance easier for swimmming
Review 21:The view from the window was just amazing .
Review 22:The only negatives was that there was only one other couple there until the weekend. Staff was very limited and no food was served at lunchtimes or evening until the weekend. We felt a bit unimportant. Obviously not the month to go.
Review 23:The hotel is gorgeous! A bit off the beaten track but only costs 10 euros in a taxi to get to town (including tip). Only 20 euros from airport. If you want a really relaxing holiday with no noise then this is the hotel for you.
Review 24:On checking out after a one night stay we were told that we had a drinks bill from the previous evening , which we had not had , not willing to take our word the receptionist phoned another member of staff who still said we had had the drinks , finally without any evidence on their part they conceded . This made us feel very uncomfortable .
Review 25:Glad we arrived before the coach from Grenoble - it seemed to take them ages to check them all in. The breakfast service suffered the next day as a result of large groups - we arrived to every table still cluttered with breakfast things, some items not topped up and too few staff to cope and those that were there seemed to work only in slow motion.
Review 26:Good value modern hotel with pool to flop into, its own little beach and fabulous views of the bay.
Review 27:Uncomfortable bed, very noisy hotel. Coffee at breakfast was rather cold. Person who checked us in was friendly, but other staff (certainly at check-out) was not friendly at all. Our receipt was thrown at the desk without a word or goodbye ....
Review 28:Location was good for us as we used this place as starting point for our trips. We only stayed for 2 days
Review 29:So so breakfast, served in a cold area with bad coffee. Small room and tiny balcony.
Review 30:The view,clean and renovated room, comfortable bathroom, location close to Kalamata but in a quiet area. The tavern next to the hotel was very good - strong recommendation.
Review 31:Far from the town center and bus station, taxi transfer will cost about 20 euros. Bus to and from are not that frequent, though the view makes it worth the travel.
Review 32:beautiful view of the Mediterranean sea, hotel stairs literally descend into the sea and there is beach next to it. Very friendly staff, we went there during our honeymoon vacation and were upgraded to the suite. Excellent breakfast by the Mediterranean
Review 33:I was pleased with the service I got from the recpetionist. As i was a walk in guest he provide me with the best room he could answered all my questions and made my stay pleasant. Room was perfect,with view in the golf of Kalamata. Great double bed,nice colours and lighting in the room and bathroom. Excellent breakfast and very good wifi, As i will visit again Kalamata soon I will prefer to stay there again.
Review 34:Location. 5km from town and very poor bus service. No food except breakfast at hotel and only one dining place close by. Wifi an absolute disaster, forced us to move out. This was a working holiday stop and our booking clearly indicated wifi in room was essential. Making that a specific was good in regard to claim back for us. Disappointing that management knew of long standing problem and did not advise booking agents as required. Breakfast - oh dear - American breakfast bacon, poached eggs, sausages obviously cooked at 7am and served at 9.30 stone cold. Plastic eggs. A disgrace. Broken chairs on balcony could only use them with bath towel laid over to sit on. With room serviced on a daily basis obviously no feed back regarding these things. Peaking over at other balconys clearly obvious chairs a problem there to. Bottom line; had to leave - if property is going to remain open after main season then it should be professionial in all aspects of hospitality. If you choose to stay here check everything you require is going to be provided.
Review 35:Room size and view. 4th floor. The fact that you had an individual room aircon/heat pump that allowed specific room use. Managements resolve of a problem that forced us to leave earlier than desired and gave as a refund on pre pay (see -ve) Booking.com's support in problem solving. John M
Review 36:the view from our room was probably one of the best i have ever seen!! very friendly guy at reception who was so helpful & eager to please!! the hotel is just out of town which i liked & the room was a good size with lovely comfortable bed & clean linen!!
Review 37:I would need more room in the bathroom and I believe that wooden decks by the sea would make easier the access to the sea. The beach has rocks which makes it difficult to enter. The sea itself was very clear, however.
Review 38:the location is perfect, the room was good and the breakfast very good. The staff very friendly
Review 39:No information in rooms on TV, Wi-Fi. or telephone or how to contact reception. No information on places to visit.
Review 40:Magnificent views of the bay. Good location only about 20 mins from Kalamata town.
Review 41:nothing comes to mind.
Review 42:A balcony overlooking the ocean (you could throw a stone in it) and great views. Located away from the hustle & bustle of the main beachfront the evenings were quiet & peaceful. Breakfast included in the room rate was great value, although basic, there was plenty of what they had to offer. Room had a double & bunk bed for the kids, was tight without being cramped.
Review 43:WI-FI signal is too weak inside the room.
Review 44:The beach is just 40 meters away and has free sunbeds and umbrellas. The beach itself is fantastic - with ultra clear water. The restaurant is good. Virtually all rooms are with a view on the sea and Kalamata.
Review 45:I hated the fact that our room stunk of cigarette smoke becuase the people next door were smioking 24 hours a day. I found it discusting that i would open my door and our entire room stunk including our clothes hanging in the closet. It was horrible and i did discuss it with the front desk who didnt really do much about it. I would recommend smoking and non smoking rooms and sections especially for people with children, like myself.
Review 46:the view and grounds were gorgeous. Staff very friendly. Breakfast had many options. Great food at restaraunt.
Review 47:Wifi was terrible! Very very limited connection... No A/C in any of the common areas only in the room. Special attention!!!! Very dangerous!!! In the pool, the shallow area for the kids... There is no sign anywhere to notify parents holding infants that there is a SUDDEN drop off into the deep area of the pool.. Very real safety threat drowning potential !!!!
Review 48:The staff was good but not enough on hand... The food was real good and the reception desk strived to do their best ... They were very nice! The location is excellent; close to everything and quiet if your with kids ...
Review 49:This hotel has a great location by the beach with great views and fantastic swimming pools. It is the perfect setting for a Resort Style Family Holiday. All the staff were professional, helpful and friendly. The layout of the Hotel is impressive with vast expansive areas including a bar, indoor/outdoor dining and a pleasant relaxing loung area. We would recommend the Messinian Bay Hotel to any visitor to Greece.

Review 108:Staff welcome, room view, quite, as fllors are wooden, so no noise from any other rooms.
Review 109:the reception staff had a bad attitude and were unfriendly and they did not seem to want to be of any assistance in any request for information. very sharp and short this was the older male staff on reception
Review 110:Still no coffee making facility in the room. This should be standard now in a 3 star. Noisy doors and floor but that seems standard across Greece.
Review 111:Location. All rooms sea view. Beautiful view across the bay. Quiet although on a main road. Recently renovated with very good pool area. Breakfast catered for all tastes
Review 112:Wifi is terrible, we have seen only one staff at hotel looking forreception, breakfast and I think for everything. When we wanted to checkout we waited at reception 10 minutes. There was no one at front desk,phone was ringing and ringing no one answered. Finally receptionist cameand checked out.Our staying was on October, can be low season that'swhy there was only 1 staff at hotel.
Review 113:Hotel is new and looks like nice. Rooms are very clean and large. Ourroom has a large balcony overlooking sea view. Breakfast is fine.Carparking area is a big plus for the guests who travel by car.
Review 114:To far out only handful of guest made it feel empty.breakfast could have been better.
Review 115:The hotel was ok . It's quiet away from it all and has its own little beach . Great views over the bay towards Messina
Review 116:Breakfast was very poor, not a grat variety for for he money paid. We always had to catch a cab to go to the main centre. Weddings on all weekend could not sleep did not regard the hotel guests at all. I purchased earplugs!
Review 117:Staff were very polite, especially the cleaners, wonderful ladies. Pool was always clean. Loved the access to the beach.
Review 118:That was the worst hotel we ever stayed at. The triple room was very small we kept tripping on the furniture. The bathroom was so tiny that we had to jump over the toilet to get into he shower. The bathroom door lock was faulty and my husband got locked in the bathroom by simply closing the bathroom door. We couldn't open the door either from inside or outside. Our room had a small balcony with 2 broken chairs. I don't know about the rest of the hotel but our room certainly hasn't been renovated for decades. The carpet was very dirty. The pictures on your site are very deceiving and you can compare them with the ones I took during our stay. No WiFi connection never worked. Food bad and expensive.
Review 119:Nice view.
Review 120:No complaints
Review 121:The pools were gorgeous as was access to private beach area. Staff knowledgable and extremely helpful. Rooms very clean and spacious for a resort style hotel. Parking on site excellent.
Review 122:Reception, not so informative or helpful. We were there in low seson and the gym were out of use and the restaurant was closed. Located on the coasts main road with nonexisting sidewalk, not easy to walk anywhere. Only one taverna close by (nice though). Car is necessary to explore the surroundings!
Review 123:Fantastic seaview from balcony! Gorgious breakfast with local homemade greek specialties, fresh orange juice and good coffee! Nice pool area and small beach (even though we could not use them at our visit in march).
Review 124:We liked everything.
Review 125:The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel was perfectly situated right on the water with views of the bay, the mountains and a distant Kalamata.
