"Samian Mare We stayed next door in the Erato (I have reviewed this separately), but it is part of Samian Mare Hotel. Everything we used, food, drink, entertainment etc we had to go to Samian Mare Hotel which is literally next door. Can’t comment on the hotel per se as we didn’t stay there but can only comment on the parts of Samian Mare we did use. Food We ate each day at the Samian Mare as part of our all-inclusive package. Apparently they will prepare a food basket to take with you if you’re going out for the day. Lovely selection for breakfast, hot and cold, salads, meats, cheese, couldn’t fault it. Such a full selection for lunch, something for everyone I felt. Presented nicely and replenish with frequency. Evening Meal, again couldn’t fault it, fantastic selection of tasty cuisine. Snacks apparently, but we didn’t see any. Ice cream, which wasn’t best quality was only available 16.00-17.00. The none smoking areas outside were very small. That area needs to be extended and separate from the smokers, it was horrible. The buffet area was inside and out (out had plenty of shade). The tiles were like ice once wet and after a bit of rain one day, I slipped even though I had rubber shoes on. Drinks, Tea/coffee (if you wanted decent premium coffee, you had to pay for it) If you want real orange juice, again you have to pay for this. Beers were all day suppa’s but drinkable, white/red local wine, quite nice and again drinkable. Cocktails made with local spirits, which were not my taste. Premium spirits again payable, not really all inclusive. Entertainment Only stayed one evening, traditional Greek Dancing and it was really good and fun. Not a lot is happening in the evening. Many guests playing cards sitting around the bar area. We walked around most evenings. Bus transfer from the airport can take 1.30-2 hours as it’s the last hotel stop. Get a private transfer, takes about 30 minutes. Pool The pool was just so crowed, even though it didn’t open until 10am. The pool had to be shared by guests staying at Erato. The beds were always occupied, not enough of them, not enough umbrellas. No anti slip matting around the pool and the tiles were like ice once wet. There was a toilet down a few steps, again, so dangerous once wet and of course these were wet all day. We spent our time on the beach. No men’s swim shorts allowed, men must wear a t-shirt in the buffet area although women were going to the buffet in inappropriate dress, seemed a bit unfair I felt. All in all, loved the part of Samos (Karvolassi) where we stayed (northwestern coast) but it was a very quiet resort."

"Our room was on the sea side with a view of the sea in the far distance. The room was simple and clean with a good comfortable double bed with plenty of pillows, a table and chair, bathroom with shower, small fridge , balcony with a table and 2 chairs and a good working air conditioner. We had a rental car and could park it very near the hotel for free. The hotel is located in a neighborhood between the local Samos residents. We enjoy that. walking distance to the old town and the harbor with plenty of restaurants and shops. The friendly service and Greek hospitality is what makes this hotel special."

"We stayed here for 7 nights in a deluxe room in the main building with a garden view. The room was nice and just as pictured - clean, modern, and comfortable. However, a few details were disappointing: no kettle, only a small coffee machine with four pods for the entire stay, and neither coffee nor water was replenished. Clean towels everyday but no bed linen changed. The biggest issue was how overcrowded the hotel felt. By 9am, most sunbeds were taken - many reserved even earlier. The breakfast area was chaotic, with limited options and no fresh juices. The overall atmosphere fell far short of what we’d expect from a 5 star hotel. The beach was packed, with frequent low flying planes. Food there was average and overpriced. Cocktails from the bar were poorly made. We ended up renting a car and exploring the island and nearby beaches, using the hotel mostly to sleep and shower. Disappointing, especially given the premium price. This resort might suit families with kids (there were a lot) but for couples or those seeking peace and quiet, it doesn’t live up to its 5 star rating."

"In kalovassiprima stay Within walking distance of a nice square Hotel itself is fine, not exceptional Rooms clean Beds reasonably good Very noisy between rooms in the bathroom (literally) Cleaning top Breakfast simple but fine An extra plus is the swimming pool and the staff at the pool bar! - compliments !! The reception at the reception is very distant, not so friendly"

"Dirty! We should have left from the first moment and called the health department! Shame on our country! We stayed with my family from 20/07/23 to 25/07/23 by necessity after I had booked it with social tourism vouchers! We had planned to stay (before we went) another three days! I will only refer to our rooms! We didn't expect luxuries! Didn't we mind the small old-fashioned TV that didn't catch any channels or rust on the water heater but the phone in the shower and the short curtain in the bathroom that were yellowed by the passage of time? or /and/ the lera? On the balcony, ropes for hanging clothes and 3 clothes pegs! The small table and the plastic chairs for the balcony were on top of a wardrobe and they also needed cleaning! They changed our towels when the 5 days that were paid for by our cashier were now over and bearing in mind that we would stay another 3 days at our own expense! When we were leaving (and after he asked us for the legal sanction to cancel the reservation) we told him about the above (complaints) he told us that we had to tell each other from the first day to give us other rooms! In other words, he had more clearly, but he gave them selectively? We have been going every year for 15 years on vacations with and without social tourism and we have never encountered anything like this before! I am amazed at the good comments that some have written!"

"No iomplaints, lovely place to stay and Nancy was a terrific host. The view was not to be forgotten. Room fine , slept far too well and again no complaints but the fact it was out of season made the whole experience a tad quiet. The Ouzo is to be avoided though and in sure lovely Nancy knows what I mean. Never done a Greejk island before and Samos was truly fantastic History and history just wow. Radio taxus ask for taxi 20 Dmitri he's brilliant."

"Beautiful hotel, nice service and that's where I'd end it. The food was one of the worst I've ever eaten. Maximum of 2 good dishes a day to choose from. There's no point in talking about the bar... drinks that aren't these drinks taste disgusting, and if we want to drink anything better, we have to pay €9 for something that can't even be flushed down the toilet. It tastes like the cheapest fruit concentrate but is completely sterile and has half-melted ice lying around."

"We have been loaded with the smile on the face of everyone you meet all day from the reception to the staff who offered breakfast, every hour of the day we have been loaded with positive energy. The room was very clean and pleasant. The port nearby is the advantage."

"Love, love, love. Beautiful and relaxing. So many beautiful flowers and trees. The rooms are spacious, very clean and cool. No issue with the air at all. So nice to sit on the balcony. Table and chairs are comfy. Food was sooo good and fresh. The pools are very very clean which I appreciate, I hate when there are things floating etc. plenty of chairs and a nice pool bar Very easy to get cabs to town if you don’t want to walk. My brother walked to town every morning and brought back pastries. There is a little store for food etc and also a couple stores for gifts. Very reasonable prices. I was never overheated , thirsty or hungry. Perfect get away❤️❤️❤️"
