We stayed at the Pearl Bay Hotel for two nights as Aegean changed our flights (twice) and our booked Accomodation couldn’t fit us in. |The Pearl came to our rescue and didn’t disappoint. We stayed in room 106. |The rooms are well fitted with comfortable beds, including the children’s bed. We had a terrace area and excellent air conditioning. |The Kitchenette was great with a very well stocked fridge if you didn’t want to nip out for your own drinks. |Breakfast was basic but enjoyable and the staff are very friendly. |We were gifted with a bottle of wine on arrival into the room. Our flight was delayed arriving and a member of staff stayed late to make sure we were welcomed. |Nearby there are options of two Restuarant's, a coffee shop, snack bar near the beach and two shops. All within a two minute walk. To access the beach you just need to cross the road. You’ll need a car or taxi for anything more than this. |We’ve just spent our first night in the Grecian Castle. The Pearl was over £20 euros a night cheaper and is far superior to the Grecian Castle. |The only negative I can think of is the pool doesn’t open until 11am. I enjoy a morning swim and the sea at the time we were here was quite rough due to high winds so felt at a loose end for the first few hours of the day. It also looked very cloudy, however the lifeguard gave it a shock treatment in the morning and by day 2 it was clear and looked great. |I would recommend this as a place to...
Read moreFirst appearance all seemed good |Position good|However because it was the beginning of the season, May, the owner preferred to sleep in rather than have staff or himself rock up and open the doors for both reception but more importantly to serve breakfast. |They first opened at 9 am for breakfast and then decided that since only my husband and I were at the hotel they would open their doors at 9:30. |“Thank you but eat it yourself. I didn’t come to Chios to wait for toast and cheese. Because that is basically what they served. We headed on our excursion to a cafe and had breakfast. |The bathroom is somewhat aged and very small. What made it much worst is when the shower was on, the water from the drain regurgitated into the bathroom floor. And I hated standing in it|The hot water never came because it wasn’t worth their while to turn the electricity on for 2 people. In Greece the sun heats the water but in the colder months electricity boosts this|There were no side lamps by the beds. But next to all the other issues this faded into insignificant|Problem is Chios is not yet geared for tourism |There isn’t much...
Read moreIf you’re looking for a hotel on Xios island this is the place. My girlfriend and I stayed here for 18 days and we loved it! They offer a variety of rooms from sea and pool view to even ones with jacuzzis and they’re all beautiful. The pool area is amazing with a garden, good music, a full bar and food service. I recommended the mojito and turkey club :). The staff is extremely helpful with EVERYTHING you need and the owners are usually walking around to make sure you have a great time. The rooms have a computer, full kitchen, which was very convenient for our stay and fully stocked mini bar with snacks. Their bathrooms are very spacious and the shower is perfect with full body sprayers, high water pressure and an auxiliary spray hose. This hotel is the pearl of xios and wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Thank you for making our...
