8.6/10 Excellent! (134 reviews)

Food was amazing, excellent options especially for vegetarians. Rooms were old school but comfortable. Cleanliness of the room wasn’t 100 per cent. Each day I had to ask for fresh towels and to change the sheets, it wasn’t done automatically. Staff were exceptional, so helpful and fun and nice to the kids. The lack of air conditioning in the common areas and also the kids club was an issue. Also eating at the pool bar was often extremely hot and there was no air ventilation. The hotel is amazing but they need to work on the lack of air conditioning especially in summer. The rooms were stocked with alot of storage. Lovely atmosphere, the vibe was really relaxed and fun. Amazing guests and overall we loved our stay.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (8 reviews)

Absolutely love this place. Wonderful location and very beautiful. Visited in late October so it was very laid-back and quiet. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Nitsa at reception gave us some great advice for sightseeing in the area. Katrina in the dining room was very nice and provided extremely good service. Will definitely go back here again next time we’re in Kos.
