Peridis Family Resort

We have just returned from a weeks stay as a family. We had two seperate apartments one was in a completely different block across a road but we knew this prior to arrival. Apartments were clean well equipped and comfortable beds etc, we booked direct so had air con, safety box and pool towels included. The pool areas are lovely, huge pool very clean and lovely beds etc, people did reserve beds early and we saw 5 beds with towels on and no one sat on them until 1pm which is not acceptable. You need to be down between 7.30/8am to get a bed. Kids joined in the activities water polo etc. it’s fairly quiet on a night, they had entertainment on a few nights but it wasn’t that busy but maybe this is because it’s the start of the school holidays. Breakfast was ok good selection but the hot food was not that warm as it’s been sat out for a while, food to order was reasonably priced and okay. Drinks were on par with Kos Town prices. I have to say though although it’s a lovely hotel it is not 5 star, I’d say 3 plus/ 4 at the most. It’s my 3rd time in Kos Town and it’s a fantastic resort. It’s huge a lovely 15 mins stroll to the main town. Do not eat at the restaurants in the main town the food is not great, fast food, and they just try to get as many people in as possible. The restaurants out of main town are much nicer, mood and food, Koako and Elia in the old town are all lovely. We did a glass bottom boat trip which was good value and only 2.5 hours not too crowded like some and also water sports which were great. Over all a good stay it did cost us £5000 with flights, transfers and two separate rooms which was expensive before spending money so wasn’t a cheap holiday for 5 of us, but we wanted two seperate rooms I think one apartment would have been cheaper. Overall a great hotel I would definitely recommend.

A nice stay where the staff go above and beyond. However, I wouldn't be having this as a 5-star hotel. I'll go through each part of our stay. Check-In This was nice and easy and the man in reception went through everything quickly and as we were the only ones checking in at the time, walked us directly to our room. This was outside the reception and over across a busy main road. Room As mentioned, we had to cross the a road out of Reception and then across a further busy road across to our building. What I hadn't been aware of was the complex is spread across five different buildings, so by the time we got into our room, we felt detached from the rest of the hotel. At around 2am after a busy day travelling, it wasn't the welcome I was hoping for and I did feel down at this point. The room itself is fine, but a little basic? We walked in and there were bunk beds in the main 'living' area, along with the usual kitchen appliances and a bedroom with two single beds. We ended up buying further coat hangers from a local shop as for a very large sliding wardrobe, there was about 5 hangers. The wraparound balcony is very large, however, it overlooks a main road and there are cars, buses, lorries and scooters going along pretty much 24 hours a day. So it can be difficult getting either an early night or a lie-in due to the outside noise. The cleaning of the rooms is done daily and to an excellent standard. Pool/Bar Area For us, there is a busy road to overcome which meant it's not quite as easy to simply nip back to the room as and when you needed to. As for the "no reserving sunbeds" rule, this clearly isn't acted on. I was going to the pool area around 7:30am-8am each day and even by then, about 80% of the sunbeds, if not more, had towels on them with nobody on them. The pools itself are really good and spacious and the slides in the pool are very good for young children. There are activities on around the pool most days, with Panos in particular very good at getting involved in water polo, crazy golf, ping pong etc. The other lifeguard (Ianis?) is excellent at interacting with everyone too. Good idea with the QR codes around the pool so you order food/drinks to your sunlounger. €5 for a large beer is fine, considering what you're paying elsewhere, though somewhat disappointing to be charged €3 for a "Sprite", which turned out to be poured straight from a Lidl-branded lemonade 2l bottle! Breakfast We stayed on a B&B basis so went to the breakfast buffet each morning. A lovely and varied selection so no complaints on this. While we didn't have lunch or dinner at any point, we did see others too and the food did look impressive. Nearby There are plenty of shops and supermarkets nearby for any and all essentials. We didn't stay in the hotel at night, so can't comment on the theme nights held. It's around a 5-min walk to the harbour and 15-mins to Kos town itself. The restaurants along the front at the hotel/Harbour end were fantastic and gave

We had a wonderful time at Peridis Family Resort. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and very family-friendly. The rooms are big and well-equipped. The pool area is great, very spacious and clean. There are plenty of sunbeds. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Everyone made us feel welcome. The location is also great, it takes around 15 minutes to walk to the beach/town/harbour. We would definitely return back 😊

Definitely five stars for me although not a five star hotel. That's because it's human face is much nicer than a stuffy five star hotel. Firstly, the work ethic of the staff is faultless, whatever their role they are completely on it. Special mentions for above and beyond go to Panos in the Fitness zone, Cristina for Greek lessons and Peter for his music choices. The entire complex is spotlessly clean, even the pavement between the buildings. Location is ideal if you need a quiet side street with handy 5 minute walks to supermarkets, takeaways, shops, restaurants, bike & car hire, the promenade and the Jet2 pick up for trips. A longer 20 minute stroll gets you to the shenanigans and partyboats in Kos Town. Alternatively, you could stay at base camp and enjoy the pools, the sport facilities and the adults only sunbeds. Food choices, bar services etc - no issues. Finally, do your research on the variety of suites, our Comfort suite with pool view was excellent, well equipped, spacious, double aspect, two balconies , room 1201. However, some suites were not as good in terms of outlook and some were higher and bigger. So a brilliant holiday, well recommended but be specific and check, get a suite that suits your needs. Efcharisto olous!

Visited as a family with children, the staff were friendly and accommodating, kids club was great! The hotel overall is very nice, with a relaxed feeling and not too busy. Breakfast is great, but restaurant food could be better. Will visit again!

Currently still staying here. The hotel and staff are fantastic however it would be helpful if they could politely address some guest issues. Here with 2 children (9 and 11) and twice now an elderly couple, without children, sat around the family pool when the life guards have brought equipment out for water polo, have taken it off children and sworn at them for splashing too much. There is another larger pool less than 10m away that doesn't have sports activities and plenty of sunbeds. There is also an adults only area. Yet guests choose to lay next to the family / sports pool and swear at children. I've now spoken to staff three times and there is reluctance to suggests to the guests who don't like being splashed that maybe move 1 row back or to another area. It's a family resort so if you don't like children playing perhaps go to an adult only?!
