Turned our holiday around.
After a mess up with our original hotel we were placed at Sissi Bay late at night. The hotel staff had little to no warning we were coming but welcomed us warmly and gave us an option of rooms to choose from. We decided on a family room that could accommodate all 4 of us together. The room was clean, had a nice balcony and was located right by the pool and tropical bar. All the staff were very friendly and helpful especially when asked about excursions and meal times. We were given a Greek night ticket complimentary for our second night which was great fun, highly recommend going. Food was good, same sort of food every day but there was always something to eat. Housekeep who cleaned our room was lovely, could have used another bin in the room though. Considering we were not meant to stay here it was surprising pleasant and relaxing.
Fake pictures / not all inclusive
The pictures on sites are so far from what the reality is of that hotel. The rooms are very small, the furniture is very very old. The conditions are far from the "all-inclusive" they pretend to sell. You must pay even for the second key in your room if you want a second key. That was something I have never seen in any hotel in the world. They have a Greek evening once a week, so they ask you for money even for that event - another 10 euro if you want to join and if you don't want to join the dinner is till 7.45 which is totally unacceptable. They don't have any beach at the hotel, you must walk to the closest beach at least 1 km, and again you must pay for everything there since is not the hotel beach. The pools are very very small. If you want a real coffee you have to pay for it. I asked one morning for some water at the bar and the bartender started to scream at me that the bar is not open and he doesn't give me any water. In the rooms is very very hot during the night, you can't sleep with the air conditioner open. The food is not the best. They treat you with a lot of disrespect when you ask for something. They even asked you to pay if you wanted to weigh the luggage on their scales.
Amazing staff we loved the hotel and the people working there
Amazing holiday, some memories made that we will never forget as a family.
We stayed all inclusive 24th July - 8th August as a family of 4.
On arrival we weren’t happy with the room, so was worried that I would be seen as another complainer by the staff - I spoke to the lady at reception who greeted me with a smile and was totally understanding, she sorted us another room the next day once the previous occupants had vacated the room and it was cleaned, this new room was really great and the air conditioning was excellent too!
The 3 pools are great, they have a quiet adult pool if required and another 2 pools which are great.
The food was absolutely brilliant, something different each night, I have 2 girls 18 years and 13 years they loved the food on offer, the attempt at a full English wasn’t the best as there were hotdog sausages and bacon wasn’t like in England but shouldn’t really complain about this as we weren’t in England we were in Greece, the girls loved the pancakes Nutella and peanut butter, fruit cereal and lots of other bits and bobs, the coffee machine was great in the morning and the coffee was really nice too.
I’d definitely recommend the Greek night at least one Thursday too for €10 pp was a great experience and real fun!
The Tropical bar by the pool was excellent as were the cocktails which were at an extra charge (I’m not surprised at this though as they were absolutely amazing all made with real branded alcohol and were fresh, a lot went into making these) The staff were absolutely brilliant! Antonis (The Greek God 🤣) was really up for a laugh, we went with another family we made friends with to Cactus Bar where he sings traditional Greek songs, he was brilliant and was superb with the kids too, we will miss him and the staff at the Tropical bar.
All of the staff work so hard to make sure everyone has the best stay during your time there, they out some time in shift wise and the cleaners work day and night too and do a great job.
I really hope to come back to this hotel one day, the occupants were mainly German, we met some great people there even with the language barrier .
To all the staff, thanks so much for a great stay!
Love Kenny Lisa Grace and Hollie

Go....you must x its wonderful x
What a wondrous place. This hotel is magical, as are the staff and the food. As a person travelling alone I simply couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. Every single member of staff without exception are exceptional. They are kind and nothing at all is too.much trouble. The room is comfortable and the vista is heavenly. The new renovations to the hotel will elevate it stratospherically. Balconies with pools, chilled music gives a cool vibe. Enough space to feel like you are alone, but enough gorgeous staff around to make you feel part of a family. Sissi is beautiful, however drifting into town to watch the sunset by the harbour has been the only thing to tear me away from this lovely hotel. If you want a truly relaxed break with gorgeous views and brilliant service.
