With only 10 rooms this hotel is quite unusual in Kos which has a large number of huge, all inclusive monstrosities which we avoid like the plague. The gardens are lovely and give you a feeling of space and peace which we really appreciated. We had one of the four single floor apartments (6 are duplex) called Telendos which felt very spacious with a good sized lounge area with kitchenette, a very good sized bedroom with a very comfortable bed and walk in wardrobe, and bathroom off the lounge. Being on the ground floor it meant we had a good sized patio at the front which was lovely to sit out on and looked out at the garden. The only issue with the room was that you could hear footsteps and any furniture being moved from the apartment above. That apartment would be the same size as ours but had 2 smallish balconies (1 off the bedroom and 1 off the lounge). But we did feel very at home and comfortable for the week we were there. The staff were all delightful and always extremely helpful. They were very sympathetic when I had a day feeling unwell. Breakfast is not a buffet but from a menu, although you always got a selections of bread and sweet and savoury pies and cakes on the table. The portions were generous and everything we ate was delicious. They also have a lunch and a dinner menu and everything was freshly prepared, very good quality, and yummy. The pool is lovely, and they have 10 pairs of beds and umbrellas on the long beach which is the other side of quite a busy road. They are mean to be for private use by hotel guests only. That is hard to police when you can’t see them from the hotel, but they do pop down occasionally and move on anyone not from the hotel. But we always found plenty of free beds when we went there. It can be a bit windy on the beach, but on a very hot day that breeze was delightful as the pool area was more protected and had little wind. So why 4 and not 5 out of 5? There are a couple of issues. Firstly, it’s not cheap, so you don’t expect them to allow anyone who wants to walk off the street and have a drink at the bar to then be able to use the pool and sun beds. There were a couple of times when the only people at the pool were non-residents. We don’t mind “walk-ins” using the bar and having lunch, but they should not be allowed to use the pool and beds and very nice chairs. Secondly, in the evenings you can hear music and whatever the entertainment is coming from one of the big hotels near by. It did spoil a couple of evenings when we just wanted to sit in the quiet on the patio and enjoy a drink listening to the crickets but had the sound of bad singing from their karaoke in the background. And finally – the hotel is on quite a busy road and you can clearly hear traffic when at the pool. Luckily it wasn’t that audible where our room was though. Would we stay there again? We would, but might chose a different room just because of the noise above us – I think ours is the only room that has that issue.
