| said: After reading the reviews on this site about the hotel, I was worried about going...but when I got there I was pleasantly suprised. The hotel was fantastic, and much more than I expected.
It is certainly up to its 3.5 star standard and on arrival at the hotel you are greeted by very friendly English-speaking staff that cannot do enough for you. There are two sites to the hotel, and our room was located on the side with the sports pool, bar, shop and disco.
The other site consisted of the restaurant, bar, lounge, animation room, pool and Theatre. The sites were seperated by a 50m walk.
Rooms were extremely clean and maids came round every day to change the towels, make the beds and generally clean the room and bathroom with every attention to detail. They even had a huge TV and a lovely balcony with table and chairs.
I thought the fact the disco was near our room was going to be a problem, but it was actually sound-proofed and you couldn't hear any noise what so ever. I got a good night's sleep every night!
Food was lovely. I can't see why everyone was complaining about it. For breakfast you can expect a choice of cereals, fresh cheeses and hams, as well as Greek yogurt and honey, fresh fruit salad and apricots. You are also offered hot food with a different type of egg every day (fried, boiled, scrambled with peas or omelette), chopped frankfurter (not my ideal choice), baked beans and potato fritters. There was also a sweet Greek dish and watermelon for afters. You can also help yourself to fruit juices and fizzy drinks in the restaurant or take your own drinks from the bar.
Lunch was ok. Pretty much what you would expect for dinner but without the soup.
Dinner was excellent. Everyday there was a different soup to choose from, and you would also be offered a choice of about 4 different savoury rices and pastas, Greek salad, Tzaki, olives and cheeses. Then there was a choice of a hot pasta dish. two different meats, chips (yes every day) and two choices of veggies, as well as fresh bread. For afters you can expect watermelon and a sweet dish such as cake or mousse.
The hotel was located about 3 to 4km from Kos Town centre and only about 2km from Lambi. A bus would run every 15 - 30 mins from outside the hotel from 7am to 11:30pm and costs just 1 Euro 20 Cent one way.
One down point for some people would be the entertainment, as it was mainly in German, and translated into English. Although I can't really comment on it as I went in to Kos Town every night and didn't stick around in the hotel after 9pm, but the REPs did seem to do a good job.
I can thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone, although i'm not sure how children would feel about some of the traditional Greek dishes we were served at dinner time. Although the hotel was mainly German 18-30 based, but when I stayed there, there were a couple of families, and many people aged over 30, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
This hotel was very good value for money!
