  : Buffet breakfast with nice selection. Arrive early so you miss the crowds later on. Same goes for dinner. We had a nice room on top of the hill. Beautiful view. Nice path/ staircase from main building to the top. (Free minibus service is available if you don't like walking). On the evening we would often sit on the balcony and watch and track the incoming flights on their final approach to Kos airport. (We didn't notice any noise at night). Pool towels are available at the reception for a small price and deposit. The pool area is nice but the music can be a bit loud. We preferred the beach. You have to rent sunbeds for 4/ bed/ day at the beach. Small shops and hairdresser at the pool. Gym available for 5/ day. We were greeted in German as we arrived. Understandable as the majority of guests were German/ German speaking. Communication with staff in German or English was nonproblematic.
  : Wifi internet was absolutely abysmal. We were saved by our included mobile-data (EU). Warning: Our phones connected to Turkey automatically at one point. It's advisable to manually connect to a Greek operator. The long pants for dinner rule is unnecessary. I guess it's supposed to increase the "classy-feel", but then you are greeted with long ques at the buffet and limited seating options. Again; arrive early to minimize this problem. Also the flip flop - long pants combination worn by several men was an amusement to watch

  : Nice hotel, swimming pool and bar. Not too many people and enough sunbeds for everybody Bus stop in front of hotel is good even of they are always late Rooms are made everyday with care, very clean Some small shops inside the hotel
  : Staff and manager are not friendly, most of them do not smile unless you give tips. Everything has to be paid: gym, Ping pong, mini golf, darts, towels for the swimming pool (and if you use the white towel from your room the manager takes them on your sunbed at the swimming pool !), sunbed in the beach in front of hotel. By the way very small beach, not nice It is mainly a German holiday resort, then breakfast stops at 9:45am, diner from 6:30 to 8:45. Swimming pool stops at 6pm. Village Kardamenia is nice but 20mn walking. Swimming pool inside is cold

  : Friendly front desk. Lobby and grounds are well kept and in a beautiful setting. Room was consistently very clean.
  : Unless your room is in the #100s or #200s you have to walk lots of steep stairs. The hotel provides a shuttle service to take you back and forth but the queue line is consistently long. I had a rental car but you cannot park near your room. All parking is at the bottom of the hill and it is a very large property. Food is underwhelming, designed to meet large groups of people bussed onto the property. The dining facility is a cafeteria buffet similar to those on budget cruise lines. Lastly, you have to pay extra for all drinks including water. Suffice to say we decided to eat off the property most nights. In room accommodations do not meet modern hospitality standards making the experience feel cheap. No clothes iron available on the property though it is mandatory to wear pants to dinner. No coffee, tea, or water provided in the room. Though we paid for an extra adult in the room, the hotel only provided a childs cot better suited for camping and provided no extra pillow.

Wonderful

  : Clean and tidy. Great hotel shuttle to rooms higher up the hill side. Breakfast and dinner plentiful and delicious.
  : The bathroom had sewage smell. Couldnt pay for the Sun beds by card on the beach.
