Smaragdi Kos Hotel

We have just left this fabulous hotel after a 7 night BnB stay. From the moment we arrived to this morning when we left, the 4 of us felt like part of this family. We were welcomed by Stamatis at the bar. Both he and Theo were exceptional barmen and really looked after us all week. The breakfast was on from 8/11am and was plentiful in both continental and hot dishes. The 2 waiting ladies, Alexandria and (I'm so sorry not to remember the other lovely lady) were bright and cheerful every morning and happy to help us with anything. They also tolerated our poor attempts at the Greek language :) Pool area was clean, with plenty of umbrellas and it was so refreshing not to have to rush with putting towels down. Lots still available at 10am (see pics taken at 10am). Food at pool bar was good with a wide choice and reasonably priced between €10/€15 for popular dishes. There was a large supermarket approx 8 mins stroll away which made fresh rolls if going to beach. Apartments were really modern, towels were changed daily and linen twice in the week. Mattress and pillows were very new and comfy. Pool towels and safe both provided free of charge. The reception staff were extremely helpful and had great local knowledge. There is a handful of tavernas all within 10/15 mins stroll or a walk to Kos town took us 35 minutes. We all said we would recommend and come back. Can honestly say that the chilled vibe of this hotel and resort suited us perfectly and we felt we arrived as strangers but most definitely left as friends. Thank you to the whole team as there were lots who contributed to making our stay so great but unfortunately I gave forgotten all their names. Only negative, which the hotel have no handle on, is the public transport. Taxi service was shocking, so would recommend booking 24hrs in advance. Buses also don't always stop in Lambi so you have to ho into Kos town and back out again. This didn't spoil our holiday but be mindful if you are planning to go out of resort. We didn't get bikes but loads of people do, and there was a hiring place right next to hotel.

We had an amazing stay at Smaragdi Kos Hotel! The hotel itself was fantastic, clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. What made it truly special, though, was the warm and friendly service. A special thank you to Olga for the lovely communication and for going above and beyond to help arrange a surprise gift for my girlfriend’s birthday during the vacation. It was such a kind gesture and made the experience unforgettable. All in all, a top-notch hotel with a personal touch. Highly recommended!

I had such a great week here, I really didn’t want to come home! The hotel is beautiful and is lovely and quiet, a true gem. I was treated amazingly well by all the staff here, I couldn’t have asked for more. In particular, I want to say a special thank you to Olga, Emilia, Anastasios, Stamatis and Antonis - you looked after me so well and I’m so grateful I can’t wait to come back!
