Costa Angela Seaside Resort

Lucian Marin

We had our summer vacation at the Costa Angela resort in August over the course of seven days. Below is a list of pros and cons. Pros: * Great Location - It has its own private beach, right outside the hotel. Other hotels are at a good distance as to not disturb you. There's a nice promenade to walk by the beach. * Quiet - There wasn't any noise after 11 PM. It was quite pleasant. Minus the doors thuds (see below). * Pool - The hotel offers a nice pool, with a lot of sunbeds. The whole area is beautifully set up, with grape vines and palm trees that offer generous shade. The pool is always clean, spotless. * Beach Bar - The Beach Bar, or Restaurant, is great. It doesn't come in the price of the hotel thought, but it has enough in the menu to have lunch here everyday. * Breakfast - The buffett was one of the best we've had. Eggs, Omlette, Sausages station, Cold Cuts station, Fruit station, Jams station, Coffee, Juices, Bread. It has everything. There are many tables, both inside and outside the hall. * Staff - The staff is always friendly and helpful. And they're always around. Don't hesitate to ask for help. * Greek Night - Every Saturday, they host a Greek Night, with live music, dancing and a buffett. The buffett costs 17 euros and it's all you can eat. The music is not loud and it doesn't last through the night. It was very night. * Parking Lot - Good, spacious. Enough room for people who rent cars. * Bus Station - The bus station is right outside of the hotel. Beware, there is no shade and the bus is always late. You can ask for the bus schedule at the reception desk. Cons: * No Wi-fi - Internet only works in the lobby. This is one of the biggest problems with the hotel. It's not something temporarly, be prepared to have mobile data all the time. * Doors Noise - The open/close system makes a loud thud, especially when it's drafty. * Bathroom - It's very small. The toilet is squeezed between the shower and a wall. You barely have enough room to fit. The shower case was also not in a great shape. We had to wash ourselves with our slippers on. * Cleaning Service - While the cleaning ladies were nice and always greeting, the only thing we've found changed were the towels and toilet paper. No other cleaning or dusting was done. * No Cold Water - The water is lukewarm at best. In the morning it's hard to wake up without cold water. * Aircon at Extra Cost - Air conditioning comes with an extra cost per night. You need it, unless your in room 229 (corner room, not facing the sun). * Sunbeds at Extra Cost - At the beach, the sunbeds cost 2.5 euros per day. It's not bad, but given the beach is privately owned by the resort, you'd think it's included in the hotel price.

The hotel says that there is Wifi available but you just have a connection in the lobby, not in the hotel rooms. This is very confusing and if someone really needs a Wifi-Connection the connection is really bad anyways (Video calls etc. no way). On the third day they have stolen 50 Euro of our room and when I asked who was in the room to clean they (the reception) didn't answer me and told us that it is our fault if we let the money open on the desk although it was in a bag which was closed and not visible. The manager and the rest of the staff were really kind and tried to comfort us in every way. Typical greek hospitality (I am also greek). The receptionist was the most unfriendly encounter of all my holiday history. She didn't want to give us her name so we can complain at the hotel manager (I wonder why ;) ). She spoke to us like we are dumb kids. After a little discussion and me nearly losing my mind she told me that her name is Katerina but after a few days I heard that her real name is Marianna. This person has to get fired. Totally unfriendly, arrogant and a liar also. Is bad for the hotels reputation, she should not work in such a job, terrible person. Last but not least: It is about 40 degress on Kos and the air condition does not work, you have to pay extra to control the air condition. It is a shame while half of greece is burning down cause of extreme heat conditions. Should be included. All in all it was a great vacation and we would come again but they have to work on the mentioned points. Marianna has to leave, then we would love to visit Kos again. Hope you'll see this. ;)

We picked this hotel due to its private beachside location and proximity to Kos town, as the bus runs every 15- 25mins. The hotel was superb, excellent rooms with sunset views, superb food at both the gorgeous beach taverna or in the hotel restaurant. I cannot praise the staff enough. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, they really make you feel like family. Highly recommended.

My partner and I spent ages looking for a hotel on Kos and wanted a relaxing holiday but still with the option of plenty of things to do. It is a family ran hotel and the staff and service were fantastic. The owner and staff ensure that your feel very welcome with the usual Greek hospitality and it is that personal touch needed to make anyone visiting the hotel feel welcome. All the staff treat their guests like friends invited to their home. This hotel is not for you if you want to be able to step out immediately into the hectic Kos nightlife, but for a quiet peaceful spotless hotel and to still be less that 10min bus journey that runs every 15 minutes away from the main town and all it has to offer this is the perfect place. We do not usually do the all inclusive options which is why we booked this hotel preferring to find places the locals eat which we definitely did .... however the food, hospitality and relaxed atmosphere were so great, we ended up eating here several nights out of our two weeks. Food was reasonably priced with huge portion sizes and there was an extensive menu. The room was immaculate and spotless.... cleaned and replenished every day. The only thing we missed was tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Lovely balcony to relax on in the setting sun and fly netting across the balcony door allowing you to sleep with a nice breeze blowing in from the sea. Be ready to pay extra daily surcharge for the air conditioning and a safe. The hotel is only a few meters away was the beach which can get quite breezy at times and I was disappointed as a resident to have to pay 5 Euros beach beds. There is a handy beach bar within a few meter of the beach for snacks and rehydration which was very reasonably priced. Beware that if your not a strong swimmer beware of some naughty rips tides. Don't change what you do its so perfect if ever I was in Kos again I would definitely return

Nice Hotel, very friendly staff, good breakfast, the beach was very nice, all in all, everything you expect from a hotel in this price class. The only silly thing was, that you had to pay extra for the air condition. Just take more money for the room.
