Our final day at this serene and rejuvenating hotel, it stands out as potentially the most relaxing adult-only TUI hotel we have experienced to date. A good advantage is the consistent availability of sunbeds near both the pool and beach, so there is no need for early morning reservations, a first for us. The absence of amplified music and inflatables makes it a more tranquil atmosphere. The pool is huge, a little cool on entry, but it provides a welcome respite from the heat. we divided our time between the pool and the beach, with the sound of the ocean creating a particularly peaceful experience. Would recommend bringing beach shoes due to the pebbled entry into the sea and many other beaches around Kos.
The food in the main restaurant was to a very high standard, offering a wide variety with a different carvery station each day. The desserts were particularly delicious, especially the Greek selections. My compliments to the chefs.
We booked a taxi from reception into Kardemna, we went on a boat trip to Nisyros booked with offshore travel, very good trip, on our return we waited by the bus stop for a taxi back, more convenient than catching the bus,it took less than 10 min cost approx €11.
We also rented a car for 2 days from International rentals (in the hotel lobby) prices were very reasonable, staff very helpful gave us a map and highlighted the best places to visit, which we did and thoughtfully enjoyed.
The entertainment was exceptional, fantastic vocal performances, and choreography from the dance act. However, we feel the viewing experience could be enhanced by raising the stage to improve visibility for all guests, not just the front row.
It can get a bit windy, especially in the evenings, so recommend bringing a light jacket/cardigan. Not always enough seats, so you might have to stand for some performances.
All the staff at this hotel are exceptionally friendly, always smiling, and will do anything they can to help you.
We booked a garden view room. Which also had a sea view, It was a delightful spacious room 561 not far from the pool or restaurant, and we had the most adorable cleaner who really looked after us.
Tui reps are great, and their are plenty of activities on offer, I enjoyed the pebble painting and the white party.
We stayed half board a rough guide to drink prices €10-50 for a G&T €5-50 for 550ml beer. €3-50 soft drinks, cocktails are around €10 upwards. Slight niggle I ordered a Mojito on my last night and it was not nice, which when i'm paying €10 i was expecting a nice tasty cocktail made with branded spirits, not one made with local spirits , all I could taste was soda. The cocktail I did enjoy was the Pina Colada. Service can also be a bit slow as the bar seems understaffed, only 2 people working the bar, and this is the only bar open in the evenings. But overall, this is a lovely hotel, and I would definitely recommend staying here.
