While reviews were inevitably mixed, the majority clearly thought very highly of the food offered in the hotel's restaurant, and also out on its pool terrace. Despite most guests being in the hotel for at least a week, there were not a lot of reports of people getting sick of the food.
Surprisingly, several guests went out of their way to report that they never seemed to have trouble finding a sun bed round the pool when they wanted to laze about. Also, nobody spoke of friction as a result of others “reserving” sun beds through various complicated towel placements.
While most guests seemed to spend the bulk of their time at the resort, a few did mention that when they wanted to go to Kos it was not much of a problem. It was either a long walk, or a quick taxi or bus journey away.
It was mentioned a couple of times that there are a very large number of seemingly feral cats on Kos, and the hotel has a few that seem to stalk its gardens. While they never seemed to bother most guests, both cat lovers and others who may be affected or upset by seeing feral cats should take note.
Guests specifically mentioned that there were only two English language TV stations available. Considering the very large number of English speaking guests at the hotel, this seemed a little peculiar, and they simply wished there were more channels available.
While there is an accessible beach just 200 yards away, it is described as full of pebbles, and not the most attractive beach the guests had ever seen.
