Lovely hotel , staying in October outside of any school holidays, so hotel not too busy , plenty of sun loungers, attentive staff, place felt very clean, tidy and well maintained. The all inclusive was excellent, enjoyed working though the cocktail menu. Good dining options, the app was very useful - should promote that more, with QR codes etc.. in reception. Friendly reception, very helpful booking taxis. Few times we got taxi to Kos town, then walked back. All very flat - so easy walking. Booked excursion and went to Zia for sunset in the mountains, which was beautiful. Also managed to squeeze in boat ride to Bodrum, Turkey. Overall really impressed with Kos and would certainly come back and stay at the same hotel. Indoor adult pool in the spa was a hidden gem. If the outdoor pools were a few degrees warmer I’d have swam in them more, but the sea was a little warmer and beautiful, so clear.. happily swam in the sea everyday - hotel is in great spot to enjoy the sea.

Vivi on reception and every member of staff from the moment we arrived were amazing and couldn't have done anything more to have made our stay any better. Hotel was smaller than we normally stay at and maybe my teenage daughter missed a few activities she would ordinarily look forward to but the Cabana Blu hotel was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and provided a perfect environment to relax and wind down. Exactly what we needed. Food without question at the main restaurant was consistently superb throughout our stay. Selection was varied, fresh and well presented. Waiters and waitresses were always attentive. Of the al acarte resturants the Asian was our favourite. Georgia in the Spa left my wife and daughter feeling wonderful. Hotel location toward one end of town is ideal. Walk 5 minutes one way and have the beech and coast road pretty much to yourself. In the evening walk the opposite way for the same time time to find shops and restaurants. Highly recommend a stay at the Cabana blu
