Guest reviews for Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands

5 out of 5

Good Value Hotel

Pros: Quiet
I stayed one night at the Scenic Hotel last week. The room had a modern decor, bed was comfortable, and the great plus was the spaciousness of the room. Staff was friendly. It is about a fifteen minute walk to the restaurants on the wharf. If you don't mind the leisure stroll, this hotel is definitely a great value. I definitely would come back to this hotel again if I revisit Pahia.

Average hotel for above average price

Cons: No free Internet, Noisy
On the whole there was nothing significantly flawed with the hotel for one rated as a tourist class hotel. Apparently while we were there it catered to groups. This was a different atmosphere than what was expected from the website presenting a top first class hotel on the ocean. It is neither first class not ocean front. The rooms were worn, as well as the property was noisy with many guests until midnight. The staff was nice and polite though it took five emails and two phone calls to re-confirm the booking.
