...(text from our receipt) Iberostar Kipriotis Panorama Room with Sea View….all incl basis….hotel We were placed in the Maris hotel advertised also as 5*. Having worked in the travel industry for many years staying at 5* hotels around the world for the last 20 years - I can definitely assure you that this hotel was a good 3* to an OK 4*.

Review of Iberostar Kipriotis Panorama, Kos

Mastichari Summer 2008

Advantages: Staff worked their bumms off
Disadvantages: Got to use Greek roads to get there

July-mid Aug08. The staff really did their absolute best. This isn't a 4* Geneva, 4* Marrakesh or 4* London... it's 4* Greece. But dont be put off, its a blissful location and you'll get all you really do need to feel like you have had just had one of the most relaxing vacations to date! The village is on the doorstep and not full on tourist hell; there is charm abound and genuine goodwill towards visitors. Hotel is set in gorgeous gardens, pool ...
...regime of towel disposal is a bit sharp but it's a very friendly place and you leave there feeling just a little bit sad. Hotel Manager needs a good foot in his behind, blaming outside supplied staff isn't a super path to take when selling your hotel as a family friendly place. Manager of restraunt is one very cool guy, he sees everything and amazingly remember all the faces and where they prefer to sit. 270 odd rooms full of people and he never ...

Varkas Appartments at Kardamena on Kos Island

Advantages: close to town, close to beach, spotlessly clean, adequate for cheap holiday
Disadvantages: no life, no air conditioning, very basic facilities, bit noisy in the early morning

Today's date is Tuesday, 1st September 2009. Varkas Apartments often seems to get a bad press so I thought it was about time their review status was updated: we have recently returned from staying there and, from the experience of myself and my husband, we believe many of those adverse comments are vastly unwarranted. My husband and I returned from a two-week holiday in Kardamena on 27th August 2009 where we stayed [for both those weeks] in the Varkas ...
...just a studio - very basic as per the brochure - but that's what we paid for. We had an enormously large main room, with 2 x 3 foot beds on one side of the room, a closet and basic dressing table/stool. At this side of the room French windows led out onto a balcony which, itself was a good enough size. The balcony had a dryer, a plastic table and 3 x plastic chairs. At the other side of our large studio room was a day bed made up to accommodate a ...

Review of Kardamos, Kos

Wonderful hotel, Well run, comfortable and a great atmosphere.

Advantages: great atmosphere, good food, clean,
Disadvantages: non

...stayed in Tigaki at the Fili apartments. The first thing to notice about the hotel is that its situated a little outside where all the bars, shops and restaurants are. However its only a 10-15 minute walk. The hotel is situated right near the beach which provides stunning views. When we arrived we were pleased to find the hotel was very nice. The management were very helpful and the bar/restaurant was very clean and presentable which at night provided ...
...but you get what you pay for. A fridge and kettle are provided and the rooms are always kept tidy. We had a sea view which was very refreshing. All in all the room was very basic but easily provides a comfortable resting place when returning from a day out. I would advise paying the small price to have the air conditioning on, it gets very hot. The pool area was the most pleasing part. Plenty of beds to sunbath and 3 pools, One of which had a slide. ...

Review of Fili Apartments, Kos

Hotel Zeus - Perfect

Advantages: Excellent location, Very welcoming!
Disadvantages: Bathrooms a little cramped but this is common place in Greek hotels

...return. We stayed at the Zeus and will be doing so again in October. ROOMS The rooms are spotlessly clean with a large balcony or terrace (we had a terrace). On the website it does mention that some rooms are "semi-basement" we had one of these and it just meant that the wall of our terrace was only slightly higher than ground level. But it was a lovely sun trap in the afternoon. Bathrooms aren't huge, which is to be expected, but they are perfectly ...
...expect from a more pricey hotel but perfectly adequate. You can always ask for an exrtra pillow if one is not enough. STAFF All of the hotel staff were excellent Zak and his family will do evrything they can to ensure you have a great holiday. The guys behind the bar are good fun and always very polite. And I could not the fault the cleaners, they worked so hard, from morning till night, but always had time for a smile! HOTEL IN GENERAL I have ...
