Location

Guests rave about the perfect location of Grecian Bay, close to shops, restaurants and within walking distance of everything Ayia Napa has to offer. But the standout feature is undoubtedly the excellent beach, considered one of the best in Cyprus with its beautiful clear waters and comfortable sun loungers. Though some rooms can be noisy, many offer fantastic views of the seafront directly from the hotel, which is also home to its own private beach. With a great selection of tavernas and stores nearby, this is a top pick for those seeking a few days in the sun in the ideal spot.

The breakfast at Grecian Bay Hotel receives mixed reviews from guests. Some visitors praise the great and excellent breakfast, which is wonderful and offers everything they wanted and more. They appreciate the wide selection of breakfast options and the copious and delicious food on the great breakfast buffet. Others find that the breakfast could be improved and lacks variety and local food, especially seafood. Some guests report that the breakfast was quite poor and bellow average for a five-star hotel. However, many still enjoy the extensive and diverse breakfast menu with live cooking and a decent selection of hard cheeses and fresh orange juice. The breakfast area is also deemed beautiful and the staff is providing excellent food to the room. Overall, some suggest the quality of the breakfast does not match up to the hotel's five-star rating.

Dinner

Guests at Grecian Bay have mixed reviews about the dinners offered at the hotel. Some guests rave about the super tasty fish restaurant on-site. However, many guests feel that the selection of dinner options is very poor and not up to the standard of a 5-star hotel with mediocre yet high-priced food. Some guests even warn that the pizza is inedible. Others mention the lack of variety in the salad buffer, which stays the same for weeks and the unappetizing special dinners with an outdated dress code, unpleasant atmosphere and even an additional fee for themed nights. Some guests feel that the food quality is not up to par, except for the desserts and seafood at the Fisherman's Hat. In addition, some guests were disappointed to find that there were no options for their children at dinner. Furthermore, several guests mention the paid drinks and the absence of any entertainment, except for two weekly poolside holiday dinners.

Cleanliness

Grecian Bay is a very comfortable and well-maintained hotel with an exceptionally high level of cleanliness throughout its premises. The hotel takes anti-Covid measures seriously, ensuring cleanliness of its pools and beach areas as well. However, there were a few instances where guests noted the bathroom, bed-making or overall cleaning wasn't up to standard. Despite these isolated incidents, the majority of guests found their rooms and the entire hotel to be spotlessly clean. The hotel's upkeep creates an especially high level of cleanliness and the staff makes all efforts possible to maintain this standard. However, some guests noted areas that could use some improvement, such as sand on the beach or the frequency of changing bed linen. Overall, cleanliness is one area that the hotel holds to a high standard, making it an excellent choice for travelers looking for a clean and comfortable stay.

Guests also praised the exceptional service at the Fisherman's Hut tavern, noting the staff's friendliness and fresh seafood. Despite a few negative experiences, the majority of guests felt that the staff at Grecian Bay was top-notch and contributed greatly to the overall enjoyment of their stay.

Wi-Fi

The Wi-Fi at Grecian Bay is subpar for what is expected from a 5-star hotel in 2022 with regular interruptions in the connection. Some guests have also noted that there are no plugs next to the bed to charge phones and the quality of the Wi-Fi in some rooms is poor, requiring trips to the reception for better connection. While the Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and even on the beach, it was reported to be slow and not stable. Overall, the Wi-Fi experience at Grecian Bay seems to be a mix of poor and average, depending on the location of the room.

Pool

The pool at Grecian Bay is a highlight with many guests describing it as great, large and nice. The outdoor territory surrounding the pool is amazing and guests are allowed to use it after the official closing time. The pool area can get busy with a shortage of lounge chairs in the afternoon. However, the hotel offers a reservation service for sunbeds. The private beach access is also amazing with many guests describing it as spacious and clean. The indoor pool, children's pool and pool bar are also excellent facilities. Some guests did complain about the cleanliness of the pool at times and one incident with the bar manager shouting at a guest left a negative impression. Overall, the pool and beach at Grecian Bay are beautiful and well-maintained with many guests saying they would love to come back.

Beach

The Grecian Bay hotel boasts an amazing beach with private, comfortable sunbeds and great facilities. Guests can easily access the clean beach and enjoy the beautiful views from various areas around the hotel. While some found the ability to book sunbeds in advance a nice touch, others were left questioning the reservation system. Nevertheless, the beach was a main highlight for many, who preferred it even over the famous Nissi beach. The private beach access with its clear waters and fine sand was a plus, although prices at the hotel and beach bar were seen as too expensive. Despite some old parasols and a few stones, guests enjoyed the predominantly sandy beach, perfect for swimming and with a beachfront location. The hotel's beach left a good impression overall, as it was well-organized and clean with some guests even hailing it as the best in Ayia Napa.

Family

Grecian Bay hotel seems to divide guests when it comes to their suitability for family holidays. Some affirm it's a perfect resort for families with kids, while others say it's not a family hotel at all. The hotel offers a kid's club and nursery room, which is great for young parents; however, some reviews suggest that the kid's club did not work at all. Many people praise the hotel's staff as being really welcoming and warm towards kids, making parents feel relaxed and free to enjoy their breakfast while their kids were entertained. Nonetheless, some reviews highlight the lack of outdoor activities for kids, making it just ok for really small children. The hotel's dress code might not be everyone's cup of tea, as shorts are not allowed at dinner and the bathroom in the family rooms is tiny. Nevertheless, the beach is excellent, pure sand and ideal for families with kids!

5 Star

Grecian Bay is an excellent hotel in Ayia Napa, but some guests feel that it falls short of 5-star standards in 2022. Despite this, many guests have found the facilities and services to be exceptional and even exceed their expectations. The hotel has a premium price tag, but some guests feel that the west wing is more of a 4-star experience compared to the main building. Breakfast has been a weak point for some guests and they feel that it is not up to the standard one would expect from a 5-star hotel. Guests come to 5-star hotels for the experience and some feel that the policies on customer service could be stricter. Free PCR testing is available, but guests report that it is only offered once a week and they were not informed of this when booking. Some guests feel that the hotel does not live up to its own expectations of being a luxury 5-star hotel. Nonetheless, many others have found the hotel to be exceptional and one of the best in Ayia Napa.

Heated Pool

The Grecian Bay hotel offers a large swimming pool with hydro massage features for guests to enjoy. However, there were some reviews that mentioned a lack of a heated pool. It is unclear if the hotel does or does not have a heated pool since some reviews mentioned it and others did not mention it at all.

Whether you're looking to relax and unwind or explore the nearby area, Grecian Bay has everything you need for a romantic getaway.

Luxury

Grecian Bay hotel offers luxury and comfort with exceptional service, but reviews are mixed as some guests feel that it falls short of its 5-star status. While some guests praise the well-maintained facilities and exclusive beach, others think that it is not 5-star worthy and more akin to a 3-star hotel with a 5-star location. Some guests note that the hotel lacks certain amenities such as bidets and high-quality pillows and that the furniture and beach umbrellas appear worn out. Despite these criticisms, the hotel is overall considered a great option for those looking for a comfortable stay with high-class service.
