We had an amazing week at Kouros Palace. a 5 minute walk to the beach where there were plenty of sunbeds and a bar service. There is a bar food station there too for snacks and lunch. There's a little supermarket over the road, handy for bottle water and anything you've forgotten to pack, really reasonable prices, we bought a lot of our gifts there as they were cheaper than Kos town or Kefalos. A 20 minute stroll, mostly along the beach takes you to Mastichari where you can book trips and rent cars with the fabulous Helios Tours, a very personal family business who will look after you and has reasonable rates. Bar tenders were happy to fill your own bottles and the fizzy drink machines also have water in them. Room was lovely with plenty of light and mosquito screens for the windows and doors. There are 3 separate bars and drinks machines in the buffet, we didn't try a la carte as we didn't want to book but the food in the buffet was plentiful with lots of choice and always traditional Greek options. Rooms are only cleaned every other day and you only get one lot of beach towels but we weren't too bothered about that. There is plenty of space to hang and put away clothes, plus plenty of hangers. There were 2 big fresh water pools and a children's paddling type pool with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. We hired a car from the guy across the road and it was a bit of a shed with the engine warning light on so wouldn't recommend using him, we had been going to visit Zia but decided against it as the car didn't feel reliable, it looked like it was on it's last legs and was filthy and had bits hanging off it. We only took it because we were too late to go anywhere else! We arrived at the hotel after midnight and they offered to prepare us food and gat us drinks at the bar, which we thought was lovely. but we just wanted to head to bed. There is entertainment each night but usually starting at 9pm and we're early rises so we didn't go along so I can't comment on the content. All the rooms had balconies with a table and chairs and a pull out airer to dry off your costumes, towels, etc. There are quite a few cats but they all look really well looked after and they don't bother you if you're not a cat person. On our final day we were allowed to keep our bands and still had full use of the facilities, dining and drinks which was brilliant as our transfer didn't come for us until 9.15pm. There's a luggage room to leave your cases and check out is 11am so plenty of time for breakfast and packing. I would recommend this hotel, we had a fabulous time and wouldn't hesitate to book again.
