Blue Harmony Hotel

We are mystified as to why Anna Maria's beautiful hotel is only 2 stars. Situated in the middle of Kini, with the beach directly opposite over the road it couldn't be more perfectly placed. Our room was beautiful, well presented and almost surgically clean, with two balconies, one looking out over the beach and bay, and the other at the side, offering some welcome shade after a long day basking in the sun! Our bed was wonderfully comfortable, the air conditioning was great, and allowed us to have a proper night's sleep. Breakfast was self serve buffet, extensive and wonderfully fresh. I particularly loved the yoghurt and honey, followed by very tasty tomatoes, cucumber, boiled egg and feta cheese, but the scrambled egg, cooked meats, breads and jams all looked fabulous. We have seen some reviews that mention the sunbeds on the beach, and the fact that you have to pay for them. I can only say that the sunbeds were made of wood, with thick comfortable padded mattresses, which were taken away and hygienically cleaned regularly. They were extremely comfortable, and provided a parasol and table, and waiter service from the hotel! If people don't want to pay for this level of quality and service then I suggest they take their towel and lie on the beach. The staff were very friendly, and obviously enjoyed their work. Anna Maria was a constant presence, quietly managing the business and ensuring that her guests were happy and content. We have stayed in many hotels with 4 stars which couldn't match our experience at the Blue Harmony Hotel. Thank you for making our stay so special.

Blue Harmony hotel in Kini beach (Syros) is a total scam! I went there today with my family, and asked about renting two beach chairs and an umbrella. I speak Greek fluently, and asked about the price. Was told it was 5 Euro. I was surprised and asked again to be sure. The attendant confirmed it so we took the chairs. When we went to pay the bill, we were told it was 69 Euro - 50 of it being for the chairs. Steer clear of this place! What an embarrassment - they make Greece look really bad!

Beautiful location and friendly staff. Everything is a short walk or you can catch the bus right outside to anywhere on the island. The beach is across the road and is fairly calm. The room was comfortable and we had a balcony overlooking the sea. We loved it and would visit again.
