Caravia Beach Hotel

Myself and my partner stayed in the central hotel for 1 week in a room without a balcony. It was our first holiday together and we found it lacking in areas. We were the only British people in the whole hotel- we got told this at Reception. Every person we met staying at the hotel was German. The room itself was spacious with a small seating area and desk, along with a bed and wardrobe. The shower constantly flooded the bathroom though so the cleaning staff gave us extra bath/ shower mats. The standard of cleaning our room was absolutley incredible. We commented on it everyday and how the cleaning staff couldnt do anymore for you - impeccable! The lift is honestly barely suitable for 2-4 people so cant even imagine a wheelchair or a pushchair. Ive attached a photo of the lift but its so so small. Myself and my partner actually got stuck in the lift with an elderly German couple and couldnt get out. By stuck I mean that the lift doors refused to open at any floor, the emergency telephone in the lift wasnt working and the lights completely went out. I tried to dial reception on my mobile but there was no signal. I dont know why but the lift doors then finally opened on a floor and we all piled out. I then visited reception to tell them what happened and to inform them of the emergency lift phone not working, there hadnt been a power cut and honestly-the gentleman at reception couldnt have cared less if he tried. We stayed by the pool for some days and other days were spent by the beach. Both of which are gorgeous. Plenty of sunbeds in both locations so theres no real need to reserve beds. The weather was stunning the whole time we had our stay. There is a large entertainment staff to entertain children but I must say that it can get quite loud around the pool when a specific gentleman speaks so loudly into the microphone he might as well eat it. The entertainment staff conduct different activities such as Aqua Gym and Volleyball but do tend to pester you round the pool and beach telling you about the evening entertainment. The location of this hotel is quite good as there is a bus that picks you up from the hotel for €2.30 each to take you in Kos Old Town Centre and drops you back later. Evening entertainment for adults was severely lacking in the bar area. Out of the 7 days we stayed. We only had evening entertainment twice. The first night it was an amazing singer then nothing until our 4th night stay which was a pianist. Felt very children based for entertainment. All inclusive is also not all inclusive. Have to pay for extra hot drinks and most spirits are an extra charge too. Food was okay but nothing to rave home about other than the pasta and pizza making gentleman. Thank god for them two because I honestly dont know what I would of had to eat, and im not at all a picky eater. The pasta and pizza was different every night and cooked in front of you. They were amazing as were all of the waiting staff. I booked a massage at the wellne

The hotel area was very large, you always found a place at the pool or at the sea. It has got 3 pools in the family area and 2 pools at the adults only area. At the beginning we were not sure if we were allowed to go to the adults only are, because we had now room there, but we found no stopping sign. This pool is cool if you want a bit pics and quit from the louder family/kids area. The food and the staff were also very good and friendly. Never had any issues. I can highly recommend the Hotel for families and for couples too, because of the separate adult only area.

We stayed in the Junior Suites which is an adults-only area (16+). It truly helped us find some well-needed peace of mind. Breakfast was incredible and don’t get me started on at the pastry chef. Lunch and dinner were delicious even though it could improve. Rooms are extremely comfy with a beautiful view of the “little oasis”, the swimming pool area.
