Michelangelo Resort and Spa

I’ll start with the positives of this hotel. The sea views are beautiful. We had a premium room right at the front, dead centre, room 1722. The view was lovely, the room itself was ok, fairly basic and not luxurious, but comfortable. The WiFi throughout the hotel is very good. Be careful to turn off your data roaming though as the hotel picks up Turkey, which costs around £8 per day with certain networks. Stay on the WiFi and turn off the mobile service! The sunbeds are comfortable and there were plenty to choose from, especially in October. I’m struggling to find anything more positive to say if I’m honest…. The negatives… There are plenty, the food is poor, the quality is poor, the choice is poor, unless you like salad and sauces! The main buffet room resembles a school dinner queue in the evenings! They advertise themed dinner evenings… There was an Asian/oriental one! There was not one Asian dish, other than rice, which was available every night anyway. Breakfast was ok. The crepes were freshly made but lunch & dinner was naff! The a la carte restaurants were included (1 visit each) they were not much better. The Mediteranio was better than the buffet, the Asian restaurant Soy was not to our liking at all, also found it strange that it was situated next to the kiddies play area/pool. Worth booking though (on the app) as they are better than the main dining hall. We ate out twice in Kos Old Town, we enjoyed our meals far more there, the food I have to say was so disappointing and spoiled the holiday. The wine on the all inclusive package tasted like a mixture of vinegar & unleaded petrol. Avoid it, if I were you! The other drinks are ok. The menus have a mark next to them, what AI guests can have on the package. Gordon’s Gin, Smirnoff vodka etc… The beer on tap is Alfa… not Mythos, which again is disappointing. It’s gassy and not great. The evening entertainment is cabaret crap, most guests just doss around the lobby/bar in evening playing cards, it’s like a retirement home. So boring! No atmosphere. There were a couple singing one night who were ok and livened up the pensioners a little bit into doing a two step dance. The staff who serve behind the bar in reception in general are miserable, one guy in particular is just arrogant and rude. The ones around the pool are a lot friendlier and they deliver drinks to your sunbed and always ask if you want a drink. The spa is terrible, avoid at all costs! We paid €160 for a couples massage, it wasn’t worth a penny, they hounded us to pay the bill. Like we were going to run off! They call this hotel & spa, it’s the worst spa in the world… The pools are like ice baths, yes it looks great on pics, but you can’t go in it for fear of hypotherma. It’s not a 5* hotel, it’s 4 at very best, don’t be fooled by the views, they make a great picture but the rest of the hotel is just bang average, far from luxurious and just not worth the prices they charge. If you book here and are satisfied or happy then you clearly have low standards. I could say more but I’ve said quite enough. Book elsewhere, trust me

I must say myself and my partner have visited many hotels in 40yrs of travelling to Greece and this Hotel meets everything anyone needs and wishes in a hotel, I want to thank every member staff for giving us a memorable holiday to remember of a lifetime also a big thankyou for assisting myself with my partners health condition I cant thankyou enough we will definitely be returning here in the near future May 2027 for 2weeks

Just returned from another stay in the Michelangelo Resort & Spa Hotel in Kos. It was our fifth stay at this hotel and as always a pleasant experience. Super friendly staff and management. Lovely room with spectacular views. Good choice in the buffet restaurant and excellent à la carte restaurants. Again a top stay.

We stayed at this Hotel in September. Overall I would say this is not a 5 star hotel, more like a 4 star at best, although I would say the facilities are worthy of being 5 star. Our flight with TUI was delayed almost 24 hours so we got to the hotel at approximately 01:00 hours, a day late. The hotel staff checking in were not expecting us and refused to allow us to book any restaurants included in our all inclusive because we were only staying for 6 nights, due to no fault of our own, although we paid for 7 nights. This was rectified by the staff the next day thankfully. The room was lovely, and had views of Turkey and the sea from the room. The air con was broken so our first night was very warm, this was fixed quickly by staff the next day. The rooms were a good standard and clean. The mini fridge was not ever stocked up, it would have been nice to have this filled with water with being all inclusive. The staff were not the friendliest, especially the bar staff, it often felt like ordering a drink was an inconvenience, although there were one or two that were lovely, mainly in Mediterraneano restaurant. The buffet food was hit and miss, overall the food was okay. The Asian restaurant was beautiful and definitely worth a visit. The champagne breakfast was also fabulous. Although you only get one booking per 7 night stay. The infinity pool was stunning, and there always seemed to be free sun-beds, so we didn’t fe el the need to reserve any although others did. The weather was perfect but it was very windy most days and nights. This hotel was worth the stay, although I would not return The infinity pool was definitely the highlight and the wow factor of the hotel, but everything surrounding this was average.

Probably the nicest Hotel we have stayed in,on our many trips abroad.Check in was quick .Our room had a lovely view over the pool and beyond to the mountains of Turkey.The room was spacious,with a very comfortable bed.Hotel was always spotless.The food was excellent ,over the 3 meals.Lots of Greek food which I wanted.Waiting on staff were excellent.Pool areas were fantastic as was the beach.Need to buy beach shoes though .to enter the sea.All bar staff were friendly.Ate in the two additional restaurants ,the food was superb and nicely presented.All in all,a fantastic hotel.Only draw back was the fact ,smoking was allowed in most places in the hotel,but that's Greece I guess.Loved it here.

We visited Michelangelo as a group of 10 adults and 2 children. We had a lovely holiday overall as we were able to spend time with family but we wanted to write this review as a warning to those with babies/ toddlers who are looking to book this hotel. The hotel is marketed as a 5* and also specifically marketed as a family friendly hotel by Tui. Here are the reasons I would not visit again with small children. 1. There are steps everywhere . The hotel is build on a cliff face which means that everything is on different levels. There are ramps either side of the hotel where you can walk between reception and the steps leading to the pools but there are no ramps in between. The ramp at one side of the hotel is around the back of the hotel where the service lorries arrive… it feels a bit like you are using the back entrance just because you have a pram. The ramps are STEEP. You need to be fit to navigate them alone let alone with a baby in a pram. There is also NO WAY to access any of the hotels pools without using steps which is difficult when you have a pram. I felt like I couldn’t get anywhere without my husband to help me carry the pram or lug the kids stuff up and down the stairs. 2. No baths in room. There are no baths in the rooms which makes bathtime a bit awkward . Thankfully we read this on the reviews before we travelled so took an inflatable baby bath with us . However, I still think the lack of a bath was less than ideal. 3. No kids menus in any of the restaurants. 4. Kids areas very limited . The kids area included a kids pool which was freezing as it was not heated so our toddler and baby wouldn’t go in ; a tired climbing frame which was in the full sun all day and a shed which was locked with a little pavilion outside that had some kids chairs on it . That was it. 5. The general adults only vibe . We only ever saw 2 or 3 other children at the hotel the whole time we were there . The infinity pool has sunbeds around it that are snapped up early in the morning it is packed all day , everyday. Despite this, it was pretty much silent as it was full of sunbathing relaxing adults . This is all fine…… but we could feel all eyes on us when we brought our 5 month old and 2 year old to the infinity pool to spend time with the family. It felt exposing if one of them were to cry and there was literally nowhere to walk around to soothe a baby as every square inch of the ground surrounding the pool is taken up by a sunbed. - Kids not allowed in indoor pool. It rained on one of the days of our holiday so we headed to the indoor pool to occupy the kids. As we tried to enter the pool the spa staff barred our way and told us it was an 18+ pool. We complained to the reception as at this point the lack of kids facilities was becoming quite tiresome . They said there was nothing that they could do so we asked to speak to the manager who informed my husband that the hotel was only a “ soft” family hotel and that explained why the kids could not use the indoor pool and why there were limited kids facilities etc . My husband said that he had never heard of a “ soft” family hotel and that TUI has marketed it as family friendly which it was proving not to be . Despite all of this there were some good points , the restaurant staff were so kind with the children .The bar staff especially Alina was so welcoming to our family and we enjoyed spending time with her every day ! Overall we visited multiple other five star hotels all over the world and although I would say that the infinity pool and view over Turkey from this pool is 5* worthy the rest of the hotel is a 3/4* at best . I would not be rushing to take small children there again any time soon.

This hotel deserves every one of its 5 stars. We had a seaview room, which was a spotlessly clean modern styled room. The bed was superbly comfortable, with effective air conditioning and a fridge, safe and plenty of cupboard space. We didn’t watch the TV, which I think was German. The view of the sunrise was fantastic the sunset, could not be fully seen from the hotel. Go to Zia for that. :-) There are steps, it’s on a cliff, 60 from our room up to main restaurant (which I’ll come back to) and more down to the beach and pools. It’s a stone beach so don’t forget your beach shoes. There is a little bar to provide drinks, with a lovely bar tender and a friendly cat. (Cats all over Kos, which we loved). The pools are excellent, one for small children/families, an infinity pool with a bar and a pool up by the main bar. Food, the food is excellent and all prepared on site. We were fully inclusive and we used all three restaurants through our ten days. The main restaurant is buffet style while the other two are table service. The staff in all locations are attentive and friendly and they made us feel very welcome. The bars like all the restaurants with friendly staff serving all sorts of drinks. The fruit punch was the non-alcoholic drink of choice for us. It’s all very relaxed. The entertainment is at the top bar and that was also a lot of fun with a mix of local dancing and music and a DJ came one night and played some good tunes. So, remember it’s on a cliff, there are steps, but those steps are good to burn off calories, and you will need to earn those for the epic food. A bus stops right next to the hotel. €2.00 fee gets you into Kos in 20 mins or so. I’ve never visited Kos, or any Greek island and I will return.

The Michaelangelo is a magical place that caters to all and doesn't disappoint. The staff make this even more magical. We chose half board with a sea view, and we were so happy with our choice. We arrived at night but were offered some food from the reception staff which was so nice as it immediately gave us an idea that the staff were going to be so attentive to our needs. Our room was very spacious, and the bed was king-size and very comfy. There was a walk-in spacious shower with a separate sink area and toilet. There is also a coffee machine and kettle with offerings of pod coffee or small packs of coffee along with tea bags and some milk. The fridge had some bottled water, which was very nice. You have to buy your own water after this and probably better buy a carton of milk from the shop in the hotel. The shop offers a small range of essentials, but there is another larger shop about 100 yards down at the sister hotel if you want a bigger choice. The Infinity pool is beautiful, but you are better getting up early if there are any preferred beds. We also tried the top pool, which was nice and peaceful compared to the larger pool area, although none of the areas are rowdy tbh. On the last week, we actually went to the private beach as it was such an amazing place. Note of caution is to wear swimming footwear as it is a pebble beach and walking bare foot can be uncomfortable for some. I would say the sea water, which was so clear you could see the fish swom around your ankles, was warmer than both pools, which were very cold. The food at breakfast was excellent with so much choice for all and the evening meal in the main restaurant was also of high quality. This was all buffet style. We also visited SOYA for one evening and the Mediterranean for another as you get one of each during your stay if you are H/B or All Inclusive. We celebrated my wife's 50th at SOYA, and the food did not disappoint with a four course menu on offer. You only have to pay for your drinks for these set menu events. The staff at SOYA also brought out a beautiful birthday cake for my wife and the staff and guests on the night sang happy birthday to her. It was so nice. The Mediterranean food was also excellent, and sitting looking over the sea at night holds something special. The bus stop is just at the top of the small slope from the hotel entrance and a bus to Kos town is only 2 euros each. Now the staff. Every one of them have been exceptional from our cleaner who always smiled and said good morning and kept our room so well, to the garden and pool staff who ensured the areas were kept so tidy, to the kitchen and waiting staff who catered at the highest level and always with a smile, to the staff who welcomed us into the restaurant like you were their best friend, to our beach staff especially our cat loving bar attendant who was just brilliant with all who visited her bar and to the bar staff of the main hotel who were so nice and were always available for your drink needs, and last but certainly not least, our reception staff who not only help make my wife's 50th birthday so special but always were on hand with a smile and fulfilled any need asked of them. The young lad at reception who always smiles just shows how well the Michaelangelo staff go above and beyond to make your stay one to remember. Thank you all for being who you are. See you again soon, we hope.

This hotel goes above and beyond for their guests. After spending 10 days of pure bliss at this resort my partner and I couldn't have asked for more. I am chronically ill with reduced mobility and was aware that the resort was built into a hill which could pose a challenge however when explained the excellent reception staff changed our room to one in the main building so everything important was in easy reach. Then when we wanted to head down to the beautiful infinity pool/beach or a la carte restaurants all we had to do was ask for a buggy and yet more of their amazing staff would zip us down to wherever we wanted to go making the steps a non issue! The room we has was spotlessly clean and modern with excellent air-conditioning. The housekeeping team were incredibly thorough and kind and our room was cleaned daily and towels changed daily. The selection of food was vast and of great quality every single day. Both my partner and I left every day completely stuffed after every meal. The restaurant staff were always friendly and attentive and the food was always hot, fresh and regularly replaced or refilled. As with everywhere in the resort it was clean, airy and modern. We had no issues getting a spot on sun loungers either by the pools or at the beach regardless of time of day we came to either area which was fantastic. If we could have stayed for longer we would have because everyone made us feel so welcome! The one downside we experienced however was people could smoke at the sunlongers and any outside area including the bar and restaurants which could be off putting.

Me and my partner stayed here last week and we honestly can’t wait to return. The food, the drinks and the staff were incredible. They couldn’t do enough for you - thank you! The views from the infinity pool were insane and truly didn’t look real!
