Family run hotel staff lovely and helpful pool,bar and grounds well kept but as for the room we had it was very basic and had seen better days.
As for the food it was not good especially the hot food selection was always tepid if not cold (breakfast and dinner)
We only had 1 evening meal and ate out the other 6.
As for location it is at the far end of kardamena yes its quite and restful but its not a 45 minute stroll to town as most brochures say it a 10 good minute taxi ride

Myself and husband arrived at the hotel at 3am feeling exhausted after a long flight with delays. We were given our keys to our room and told to check in, in the morning. Unfortunately our room was very tired and out dated plus the air conditioner wasn’t working so our room was hot and uncomfortable. The air conditioning unit had leaked all over the floor in the night so by the morning there was quite a lot of water covering my side of the room in which I had to use the towels provided to soak it up with. The lady at reception was nice and offered us another room and very helpful.
The pool area was nice and clean plus loved the fact we were always able to get a sun lounger. I had a wonderful time at the beach snorkelling and the water temperature was lovely.
Me and my husband do like to keep fit so used the gym everyday. Downside is that all the equipment was very dusty and the lights didn’t work. Would definitely be an improvement if it had air conditioning as the gym was situated in the basement with small windows giving little air ventilation.
Having rental bikes was a plus as gave us the freedom to explored and only a 15 minute cycle into town.
As a vegetarian I would have liked a little more choice with the food as some nights (apart from the salad bar) lots of dishes had meat in them.
The staff were all very pleasant and helpful but I felt at times it could have done with a few more members due to the amount of guests. A few occasions the reception area or bar would have no one around for help.
All in all we had a nice holiday and took away some lovely memories of Kos.

Excellent hotel situated close to the beach, in a good location to explore all the island. Comfortable, spacious and clean rooms, cleaning provided every day. Nice sea and mountain view from the balcony. Two swimming pools with sunbeds (one for adults and one for children and sunbeds on the beach. Good food buffet. Very nice and friendly staff. We will definitely come again.

The hotel is in a calm location of Kos Island, great value for money. Excellent food, espacially the home made veggies are excellent, always fresh vegetables as well, nice desserts. The rooms are clean, staff always friendly and helpful. The managing family is very kind. Thanks for nice stay

I wrote a review once already but was shouted at to take it down, so I’ll change it slightly to The male owner, who can be identified by the older male who paces around the place shouting at staff on a morning, was very passive aggressive towards me on several occasions, I took this with homophobic intent, regardless of how he might feel he can justify it as otherwise.
I went out as a young Single male to an all inclusive holiday there. On one night the manager approached me and told me I’m too much. I thought he was referring to me being loud around the bar area with friends I had made at the hotel. I brushed this off, He then Mumbles something referring to me being gay. I got very upset and uncomfortable and left the hotel very upset and spent the rest of the evening away from the hotel in the town centre.
He’s then singled me out on several other occasions when we have all been together as a group referring to noise again, ‘especially you’ being rather rude towards me in a whole group situation. When the other guests made him aware it was them making more noise he refused to listen and told them it was especially me. I left the hotel during the day for most of my stay because of this. Spending money I didn’t need to but was uncomfortable staying there all day. On one of those days, he approached the group I usually sat with and quite astonishingly said to other groups of people “isn’t it quieter now because I went out for the day”
He’s then come back out and said in front of the group ‘you too much, go, goodnight’ on a separate ocassion, when I’ve looked at him he’s said once again ‘goodnight’ directing me to my room like a child.
I stupidly left my review the day before leaving when I got the email to do so about the hotel saying how I felt and that it had an homophobic tone to the nature of my situation. I’m not one to label things and give anyone the benefit of the doubt but it was clear after 3 days of this that I couldn’t label it anything over than what it was.
Hes then approached me rather aggressively the day before I left, around the busy pool area shouting aggressively at me about the my review. Demanding I tell him what my problem is with him, he said he’s not homophobic he had a gay friend and then said I’m homophobic. Again demanding I take down the review. This made me extremely distressed and uncomfortable. After I had left the hotel for the day, to get away from this. He went on to Corner other guests I have been spending time with at the hotel, twice about me in that day telling them to tell me to take my review down, and trying to explain how he wasn’t happy. When they had my back and explained he had been singling me out, he began shouting at them.
On top of this, the food was basic and the same most days, I strongly believe that some food for lunch some days were left over from night before. Not much choice at all, there was never any snacks provided during the day out of these times unless you paid for them at their ‘shop’. Basic things as water was denied to me on an evening when I would go to the shop as they were ‘closed’.
No entertainment was provided on an evening, so even if I did go back to the hotel, it was just down to us to have a laugh together as a group around the bar which then caused me more problems with the manager.
The bar they provided closed at 10:30pm some nights and we were told to be quiet after this time.
Coming to my room, it had ants all over, bugs in the bathroom and on the floor. I found a lizard crawling around eating the bugs one night. I’m very shocked how this hotel is 4 star rated, and charges taxes on this 4 stars when it very clearly isn’t.
My main problem is how uncomfortable, upset, distressed and alarmed this hotel owner made me feel on my first holiday abroad. As a single, young gay man this has ruined my confidence and I’ve spent most of my trip out of the all inclusive hotel because of this one man and his ignorance. AVOID AVOID AVOID - Especially if you’re gay guys.
