The Family Village, Kos

Advantages: lovely rooms, remote controlled air conditioning, friendly staff, varied food
Disadvantages: on a very steep hill, unsuitable for families or those with limited mobility,

In June 2006 my partner and I (both 24) had a fantastic two week holiday at this hotel. LOCATION The Hotel is located on a steep hill. The beach is at the bottom of the hill, and the walk back to the hotel may prove difficult for some. Having no health problems or children, this was not a problem for us but I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who has limited mobility as even if you avoid the beach some of the rooms are a steep climb from ...
...you should also consider this as despite being called the "Family Village" many of the families we met were not happy with this aspect of the hotel, as even if they stayed around the pool and restaurant, their room could be a five or ten minute walk up a hill. STAFF The staff were friendly and polite. We found that they greatly appreciated any effort to speak Greek. ACOMMODATION The rooms were large and the majority had a sea view. They were cleaned ...

Review of Family Village, Kos

It wasn't a bad hotel

Advantages: Close to airport,right on the beach
Disadvantages: not exactly 5* and the food was a big the same every night

...week in Kos at the Achilleas Beach Hotel. It was £250 per person All Inclusive. Of course my friends were all very excited about going to a 3* All Inclusive hotel. So I booked it. On the website it said that it was a group of bungalows set in idillic gardens. Sounded very nice. Upon arrival to Kos we found a taxi straight away and it took the 4 of us to our hotel. It was about a 15minute ride and cost about 16 Euros, which was a lot cheaper than ...
...for 15 Euros a head. The hotel seemed a bit secluded but it was dark and we couldn't really see anything. We entered the lobby, which was very big and nicely decorated, with sofas, tables and a fish tank or two. We were checked in at the desk and offered air conditioning. It was at a cost of 7 Euros per night per room!!! We all came to the decision that we didn't need it so we turned it down. We were shown to our rooms and a man helped us with ...

Miss Tracey Macdonald

Advantages: Great location for Kos town Fabulous views and great sunsets
Disadvantages: Not very good for young families it's one of the busiest roads into Kos town

I have had the pleasure of working in Kos for four consecutive summers, the Niiredes was was of the many hotels the tour company I for used this hotel. It's a great family run Hotel and you can not fault the hospitality give by all the staff. All needs are catered for and all who stay are extremley well looked after. It has some great beach views and on a clear day you can see right over to Turkey. You have instant access to push bike, moped and ...
...around to enjoy.There are a number of rooms that overlook the well cared for gardens, it has a good size pool and snack bar just to the side. Personally although this hotel caters for a wide age range ages, if you are looking for an quiet break or have a young family it may not be an ideal choice for you. It is set on the main beach road of which you have to cross should you wish to use the beach. This part of the road is also a long straight stretch ...

Review of Niriides Beach Hotel, Kos

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. ...
