The hotel was extemely clean and sheets and towels changed every day. Including the beach towels. The free minibar in the bedroom was restocked every other day and was most welcome. The main restaurant was self catering, buffet style, and could have done with being a bit hotter on several occasions. They also have waiter service Italian and Chinese restaurants which were excellent. The hotel was in a quiet area with a ten minute bus ride or a 25 minute stroll from Kos town. The staff was excellent, very helpful and friendly. If I ever go to Kos again I would book a Mitses hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for the last 10 days of the season and really enjoyed it. This was our 4th Mitsis hotel and my personal favourite so far, mainly to do with the really friendly staff and atmosphere.

The hotel is around 30 mins walk/5 mins bus ride away from Kos town and on a road with other big hotels but they are not on top of each other. There are a few tavernas and shops, most of which were closed due in late Oct. There is a wide cycle path all the way into Kos town and its possible to hire bikes cheaply from the hotel.

The hotel consists of the main building and blocks of rooms around the main pool and is bright and contemporary. We stayed in a family room in the main block with a separate area for the kids with 2 beds which are used as sofas if just 2 people using the room. Minibar which was refilled every other day, aircon, tv, lots of storage. The room was identical to the superior rooms in the Roda Beach, Corfu if anyone has been.

The food was fine, typical greek all-inc with the option of using the chinese and italian restaurants. It is possible to eat all day here as there is a constant supply of ice cream, cake, cookies and sandwiches in the bar areas. The bars are waiter service in the evening. You can also use the facilities of the Norida beach near Kardamena.

When we were there the entertainment team was smaller than in high season but the kids club was still on twice a day as well as archery, shooting and some kind of skittle game that seemed to get a good turn out every lunchtime.

Since we have returned we have read lots of reports on other sites about the hotel closing up around guests. To be fair I don't think this is the case. We only saw chairs being moved into the building from the pool area (on a very grey day), but these were placed in seating formations not stacked up ready to be stored as some people have suggested. There were also gripes about the food on the last day being limited, again not fair in my opinion. The hotel has a check out time of 12 noon, but having kids we chose to keep our room on. The people that were moaning on the day were those who had checked out of there rooms but hung around until 10pm or later that night (the last night of the season) and ate and drank all day when most places would have removed the wristbands and sent them packing. The hotel represented really good value as, excluding flights, it cost
