Great family holiday!
Here is my completly honest review of the whole hotel. We had a fabulous holiday and there were no major concerns or faults. I will give as much detail as possible! Overall, we had a brilliant holiday. Nothing would put me off visiting this hotel again, but equally nothing wowed me.
Location Stunning! Being able to stand and see the beautiful sea, coast and mountains was amazing. One of my favourite views!
Easy access to Kardamena with the local bus, quick and easy link to airport.
Beach Lots to do. Aqua Park was great value. The beach bars and food outlets are really nice and well kept. However the slow service was disappointing in the pizza and gyros outlets.
The beach itself was a disappointment to me. The beds, whilst plentiful, do feel very packed in and ours were not the best quality. I felt the beach itself was very grubby and didn't really love it.
Accommodation We booked a family room with shared pool. We cannot fault it at all. The decor is dated but everything was beautifully clean and in good order.
The room was plenty big enough for 4 of us. The shared pool was great. Quite big and only shared between a few rooms. Would book this room again.
My only grumble with the room is the terrace. The furniture wasn't great, uncomfortable and only 2 chairs despite 4 of us in the room.
Food / Drinks Restaurant was fine. Typical AI fare trying to please everyone. Everything was clean, no concerns.
There were some more wow bits - huge fresh king prawns, beautiful lamb chops grilled in front of you, whole lamb shank. The Greek night was our favourite.
Creperie was fab!!! Loved it.
Drinks were decent quality and selection. Queues could be long sometimes, but generally not a problem.
Entertainment Was OK - again, usual AI. Nothing to complain about.
Staff All nice, but nothing stand out really. Again, no concerns.
A great family holiday
After reading some recent reviews I have felt the need to write this. Firstly the location is hilly so if you have mobility issues don't book here. If you like being close to the centre of Kos don't book here. The clue is in the title family village so if you want adult only and no kids disco, don't book here. Entertainment if you are expecting London west end, don't book here. If you are wanting 5star restaurant food, don't book here. If you are wanting a great view of the sea and mountain, a relaxing but a bit of atmosphere, close to the airport (25mins) a swimming pool that is vibrant but not overcrowded crowded, always have access to loungers or a table and chairs with no sunbed wars,decent all inclusive buffet food, a clean room, the beach close, a bus service to the main resort every hour, great service where even in peak periods your waiting less than 10 minutes, an entertainment team that work hard and can even entertain shy 15 and 17 year olds ( yes they even did the junior disco) evening entertainment that will give you a bit of light hearted fun and entertainment, then I would fully recommend this hotel. This was our 4th family all inclusive in school holidays and this holiday was the best value for money. Don't listen to the negative reviews.
Not bad
If I could give this hotel 3.5 I would. Stayed July 2026. We had a nice stay but we expected more. We feel that in early season the hotel is probably great. However in peak season, there really aren't enough staff to meet the needs and demands of its customers.
The positives - swim up pool fab, room lovely, bed comfy, views gorgeous. Friendly staff particularly on reception and entering restaurant. Nice cocktails, we loved the amaretto sours. Handy to have a couple of shops around. Great perk to have crepes and ice cream bar. Yummy pizza at the beach, nice gyros down there too. Comfy beach beds.
The negatives - the queues everywhere really spoiled it. There is one person doing the ice creams and crepes so we often waited in a 20 minute queue. This became a running theme, the gyros bar, beach bar, pizza bar all excess wait times. Table service in the evening by the pool and again long waits, one waitress was delivering drinks to over 150 people. Food in the restaurant was nice enough, but often not labelled and not replenished enough so often empty trays. Really busy in there. 1 coffee & drink machine for whole restaurant so biq queues at breakfast too. Not a relaxing eating experience. Entertainment okay but not to our liking. Low quality pool loungers.
This hotel could be so much better but we feel it really is oversubscribed in the summer months. For that reason we wouldnt return or recommend it.
Pools, sunshine, crepes and a volcano.
We really enjoyed our week. Other than the main pool (which can get busy with guys throwing balls into nets), we relaxed in the saltwater pool by our room. It’s worth noting that the pools close at 6pm which was a slight shame as it just cooled down by then. We’d have to highlight the excellent crepe/ice cream area. Areti was often to be found serving, always polite and friendly and very hard working. The main food hall was fine - we expected to see many of the dishes repeated. Some days they’d cook fresh pizzas which the kids loved. Mexican night wasn’t to our taste but each time their own. I’d recommend catching the bus into Kardamaina for a cool drink, good food and a walk along the harbour. We took a boat ride to see a volcano on a neighbouring island. Shop around for better prices and be warned that we only got 50 mins at the volcano and a couple of hours in the town to buy food. Enjoy your trip!
Average
The furthest hotel away from the town if Kos where most if not all the trips go from. We did the 3 island boat trip and it’s two hours each way on the coach. The kids entertainment on an evening is 8.30pm-9.30pm and it’s right in the middle of the terrace and there’s no where to go to escape it. It’s great if you have little kids but it needs to be done by the kids club not where the lovely terrace is. Totally spoils the evening. So much so that if had enough of hearing baby shark etc every night we just went back to the room. There’s a bar by the pool that bizarrely only opens at night. Makes no sense whatsoever. The buffet food is good and what you might expect from it. The staff are fantastic though. They work hard. It’s definitely not a UK 4 star hotel, more a 3. The views from the pool are lovely with a mountain backdrop. The beach is pebble and whilst the sea is lovely the beach is full of tab ends, and I mean full. Really disappointed that people can’t dispose of the cig butts responsibly. Would we come back, no. If you don’t mind a heavy kids element if your kids are under 10 you might like it. It’s not what we thought it was going to be.
