Benitses Bay View Hotel

Sylvia Dobek

An intimate, small hotel with a beautiful view. To the beach quite far and back uphill, but every day the hotel organized transport several times. So it wasn't a problem. The pool is small but sufficient. Although the hotel was small, there is a small playground by the pool and a tiny pool for toddlers. This made us very happy. Tasty food, very helpful staff. The rooms are clean and the cleaning ladies were very nice and hardworking. The only negative part of that was a bunk bed for children, located very high and with low rails. We advised this, but it is not suitable for guests with littles. Despite this, we were very pleased with the stay. Although we were there for a family stay, I would recommend it to couples without children and to the elderly. In the evenings we had the impression that our running little ones disturb the peace a bit.

So bad that I decided to share my first review ever. The “hotel” is located far away from the beach, surrounded by the forest and the shuttle bus is only 3-4 times a day (in both directions) and only for 7 people (imagine how long you have to wait). Don’t come here without a car! If you pay all inclusive- it is impossible to use it if you don’t stay at the hotel all day and want to come to the beach. The water in the rooms is not drinkable and you need to BEG the staff to give you a glass of water (even with all inclusive). The most interesting is that the water in the hotel stopped for a whole day (I mean absolutely no water in the hotel) and suddenly the staff couldn’t pour you the “drinkable”’water as well. The taste was awful anyway so I am 100% sure that they are pouring you the non-drinkable water. The guys on the bar are EXTREMELY RUDE, I went 2-3 times for a drink and they made me feel guilty of wanting to use my all inclusive. Apart from it, the all-inclusive service is until 22:00. One evening I was sitting by the pool and had alcohol and juice. I got up for ONE minute and someone from the staff took away my alcohol drink (left the juice) at exactly 22:00. At 22:02 I went to the bar, explained the situation and asked for another drink, but the man at the bar told me that I should had been more careful and that someone from the guests had taken away my drink. 😀 I told him that some of the empty glasses on the table were taken away as well, but he just ignored me with “We are done, no drinks!!!” This is such a cheap trick, that I cannot even find the words to describe it. The food was awful, almost the same every day, nothing traditional, no fish, just some badly cooked vegetables and meat with bad quality. I didn’t believe the other comments about the pool paining your feet blue, but it is true. Just trust me guys and don’t come here. Допълнение към българите: Не идвайте с Бохемия тук. Освен,че хотелът е покъртителен, очаквайте и подигравателни коментари от екскурзоводката Лалка, че сме дошли на фитнес (заради вървенето пеш до хотела) и никакъв интерес към хората. Държи се сякаш трябва да си й благодарен, че изобщо те е довела някъде.

If you are British like me then you are gonna hate it. It’s full of European tourist and they are loud. It’s definitely not a quiet stay even though you are away from everything, you can hear noise everywhere, from other guess banging and walking around, air conditioning units, and constant banging coming from god knows where. There are flies everywhere and it’s coming from the sinks and bathroom drains. I was only staying for 2 nights and not a big drinker so I didn’t buy all inclusive, just meals and I had to prove that my meals where paid for. There is only the view that is what is good about this hotel and that it’s very close to Anchillion palace but other than that I really would not recommend this hotel at all. Food is the same as all other Greek hotels I’ve been to and the coffee was terrible, but I was charged premium price for the free coffee you get at breakfast.

The view from the hotel if you are on the second flor is the only good thing that you will get from the hotel. The location is awful on a 20 min hill from the main road, the beaches that you can reach are nothing special and you can walk there for 20-45 min on the way back it’s more, because you are in the middle of nowhere. If you are walking at night its like “wrong turn” and if you don’t use flashlight on you phone there is a great chance that you will be hit by a car. There is an organised transport from the hotel to the beach - a small shuttle for which you need reservation and it has the worst departure times.The beaches “near” the hotel are nothing special - small and noisy near the road. Near the hotel there is no place to buy water and often the water in the hotel is out of stock and the one from the bathroom is no good for consumption, if you ask for any options in the restaurant the kind server will take an empty bottle from the nearest table and fill it with tqp water for which there is a sign that you should not drink….NO WORDS. The worst part is the food (except the bread) this is the first time that i will not like the food in Greece. There is a bus to the city and a taxi 45€ that can get you to the city where the food meets the expectations for Greece. Hope this review saves your holiday or at least lower your expectation for this hotel.

It's definitely not a quiet hotel as they say it is. There's a lot of polish visitors who are loud! The drinks taste very cheap. It's obvious that the staff hate polish people. They always get drunk and than make a lot of trouble. Also their kids are so loud and they are always jumping into the pool. The rooms are small and older looking. But over all, the hotel was beautiful. It's close to the chateau and they also have buses which get you down to the beach.
