Had a very relaxing 7 days here but this definitely not a 5 star experience. Cons first and some of these may seem picky but we are basing this on our other 5 stars experiences: Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner pleasant but not outstanding. Pool bar offerings: filled rolls or sandwiches not refrigerated so went hard and curled up with the heat. Cakes and biscuits also. No fresh fruit, no hot snacks at all. Basically you would have to go to the restaurant. No snack crisps or nuts offered when ordering drinks. Only pool bar or lobby bar open during the day or night. If entertainment was outside the lobby bar was opened and vice versa. If you wanted to sit inside you would need to run round the side of the hotel to get a drink from the pool bar and back again. If the restaurant was open the staff in there could get you a drink but it’s not very convenient at all. The room safe was locked and it took 3 days to get someone to come up to the room to unlock it. The à la carte dinner was served in the main restaurant and not at the sea front restaurant as advertised. Disappointed that there is no facility to sit outside and eat from the buffet restaurant. No mirror in the bedroom. Never been to a hotel where I’ve had to try to drag my hair straighteners to the bathroom door to try to see in the mirror or use the reflection on the TV! Just bizarre. Pros: The hotel is immaculate. All the staff were friendly and made you feel welcome. Everyone one of them spoke to you. The views are stunning. The à la carte food, despite not being served in the à la carte restaurant, was fantastic. The room, with the sea view, was great. Spacious, the bed was really comfy, bathroom was stocked well and the shower was great. Clean and comfortable. Room was made up every day and fridge restocked with water. Comfy sun loungers. The hotel is a good 40 minute walk to the village but it’s lovely and well worth the stroll. Other things to do: The Lovly Bar, just up the road, is def worth a visit. Very quirky and again we were made to feel welcome. You can cut a good 10 mins of your journey ( and keep of the dangerous road) by cutting through the Kouros Palace Hotel on to the beach and walk along from there. We thoroughly recommend the day trip to Bodrum. We booked through Kos4all.com. Given that the bus from Mastihari to Kos is €16 for the two of us return, we paid €70 in total. This included pick up from the hotel to the harbour in Kos, return ferry to Bodrum and transfer back to hotel. Great value for money and the service was top notch. Kalymnos is also well worth a visit. The ferry leaves from Mastihari roughly every couple of hours. You can book online or buy at the kiosk down the harbour. If we were doing this again we’d recommend buying on line at least the day before you go. The ferry can be busy and the return ferry kiosk can be closed. You can’t pay at the ferry so you need to get the tickets before that. Kos Town: another lovely day spent just milling about. The church in the square is stunning. The waterfront restaurants can be expensive as expected but go back a couple of streets and you can get the same lunch for a fraction of the price. As much as there were a few things we didn’t like, we did enjoy ourselves. If you are looking to chill out, relax and enjoy the sun, we would definitely recommend a stay here.

Pros Amazing staff. Shout out to Michael entertainment, Mario restaurant and the lovely bar lady. All staff work tirelessly for your comfort. Rooms great size comfortable very clean. Cleanliness was excellent. So much cleaning and polishing including windows and balcony glass . Pool and beach we enjoyed and there is a full time life guard at pool. Cons Sadly the food. Chicken and pork every meal. Too many carbs. Lots of salad I like. Took far too long to refill. Same deserts every meal. Thank you to the lady who made me a fresh omelette A la Carte restaurant not available or both bars. Reception was too small for the entertainment team. Singing was so loud in there Confusion between reception day and night shifts. An example booking the spa with evening shift for 5pm. Upon checking out with day shift being told no it wasn't booked so given 5.30 pm . Went back at 5.21 , night shift again, to be told no it's in my book it was 5pm. The very pleasant receptionist sorted it but communication is key. We had a lovely holiday thank you Zeus.

Have just returned from a week at this hotel. Hotel and surroundings beautiful though still working on it in places. Staff very friendly also but what really lets it down and takes the shine away is the food. The options are very poor and for people taking children there was just nothing for them. Think they will really struggle in busier times. Have a look at food and we would go back if changed
