Just returned from a week at Helios Beach with our 11 year old son. Animation team work hard to entertain the kids and adults alike.
Situated a little way out from Kardamena but a pleasant walk along the sea front takes you into town. Food was plentiful - even our fussy son found something to eat. Could not fault the cleanliness of the room.
Our only gripe was that the evening entertainment mainly consisted of audience participation quizzes, games etc. Greek dancers came in one evening.
Absolutely loved Kos and would go back to this hotel. In fact have just looked at booking again for 2006 but disappointed to find it is not available through Eclipse Direct.

It would be fair to say that my family had the best holiday ever when we visited the Helios hotel. The moment we got there the staff were great.
The hotel is spotless always, and food was good, but a little repetitive.
The entertainment team were superb, Emily was a brill dancer and childrens entertainer, top class and Momo the head entertainer was full of ideas and really good fun.
The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the hotel and is well worth a day of your holiday.
We visited the hotel in May and we rebooked for August this year and can't wait to return. Just to finish off if you go you won't be dissapointed.

Me and my sister and our familys in which we have a 10 year old 8 year old and a 4 year old visited this hotel in september which is a time of year that we have never taken our holiday before, so we was a little aprehensive.
But to say that i have had a fantastic holiday, the staff was lovely, hotel was very clean, yes the hotel is a little way out of kardamena but we found that very nice, the holiday was very relaxing and the fact that the hotel isnt to big made everyone so freindly.
The animation team where great they are the best we have had so far, they go out of there way to make you feel welcome. we made some great friends there and had some great evenings outside on the patio. All in all we had a great holiday and cant wait to return.

travelled to this hotel with regret, as soon as i walked in i new. no pictures on the walls, restrant in the reception,food very bland nearly the same choice every day, and drinks i had to go and buy a bottle of vodka as the drink in the hotel was weak very weak.
rooom was clean and spacious that is the only part with no complaints.i dont know if it was bad luck but also very very windy. will not be returning.

We stayed at this hotel in August and had a fantastic time. It is ideal for families who have booked all inclusive to stop the kids from spending a fortune.
My children asked for nothing. The only money spent was when i offered them money to buy treats from the shop, but we could of easily come home without spending a thing! The children had a holiday of a lifetime and we all came back wanting to go again. Two weeks wasnt long enough! The Animation team were fantastic and extremely helpful and friendly. The food was fine and lets face it after two weeks of eating whenever and whatever you like you are bound to get fed up by the end. We found the drinks strong enough and free flowing wine, beer and pop in the restaurant was excellent. thanks to all the staff and see you soon!

How First Choice rate this as a four star hotel is beyond belief. They must have rated the hotel by the bedrooms as these were the only good thing about this hotel.
The hotel bars were run by three waiters covering 14 hour shifts, they had to collect glasses and tidy tables on top of serving drinks.
The restaurant was a disgrace, everytime you stopped moving the flies were at your food, even crawling all over it at the self service counters.
The air-con was not switched on until half way through breakfast and it was red hot, the flies had a field day.
The brochure says the hotel is on edge of Kardemena, more like 15 minute walk.
I've saved the best till last .
The entertainment team, they tried I suppose but just aren

Went there for one week.
Food good, but not a great lot of choice, although nice. No snacks between meal times though.
Alcohol was a bit watered down I think.
Children's club great, twice a day.
Good children's pool.
Good daytime activities for the old and young.
Rubbish music, same old tapes, bring some with you.
Evening entertainment 1/5, not great.
Location, not good, a good 20 min walk down the dirt track to the beach.
Staff, superb, we had a motorbike accident in the mountains and were nearly killed. Doctor came to visit us at hotel daily.
We met some great friends there though. Would visit the hotel again if it were located elsewhere.

We travelled with a party of disabled people (wheelchair users)to this hotel in June. Facilities for disabled were very good, plenty of ramps around the complex. Rooms a little on the small side but mostly manageble. Staff were very good and all enjoyed the entertainments. Very good for children and bar staff and restaurant staff very friendly. Location a bit out of the way and requires a taxi ride to the town centre which is very pleasant and gives you a break from the all inclusive nature of the hotel. Only down side was the food which is ok but a bit repetitous, apart from Greek night when the food was excellent. Pool is small but very nice, drinks are normal watered down version as in most all inclusives. Would recommend it as a pleasant and safe choice, especially for wheelchairs/prams etc...

just returned from the Louis Helios and we had a really relaxing time. Very clean and very friendly and helpful staff. Food was good and usually spoilt for choice! The entertainment was very basic but still had good fun as the "animation team" worked very hard to get people joining in. Because its not a big complex there is a very friendly atmosphere with everybody staying here. You cant help but do the 'club dances' at the end of each evening. Nothing seemed to be to much trouble for the hotel staff. I would definetly go back!!!
Special thankyou to Anna and Andreas and Rafella
