Kosmar - (Tour Operators on Kos)

Keryn B          5/10

Got back last week and although everything was ok - it was just ok and they didn't manage to wow us this year as in the previous couple of years in Tingaki.

Billy-jo was our rep - very inexperienced and couldn't even deal with the most basic of questions - not really her fault though as I was told she was new to the company and kind of thrown in at the deep end - not really fair on the poor young girl. She was pleasant enough though so you can't fault her for trying.
 
We have been very impressed with Kosmar in the past but this year it was just lacking the personal touch that we had received from Caz our rep of the last 2 years. She gave a real personal touch, if we weren't round the pool for a few days and she hadn't seen us in the village she would leave us little messages just to see how we were doing, keep our daughter amused on her visits by letting her "help the rep" as she calls it and her knowledge of the area was great. A real credit to the company and a true lover of Kos by all accounts.
 
Billy-jo tried but from my perpective (and I work as a training & development officer) she just needed a little bit more training and support and even by her own admission she felt pushed by the company. It just all seemed too much like a Thompsons holiday this year (the reason why I don't travel with them anymore) - meet you at the airport, leave you at your hotel, take your money for trips (whilst piling on the pressure to actually buy something) and don't make an effort for the rest of your stay!
 
Will be considering Kosmar in future - they've lost that touch that made them such a great company to travel with in the past which is such a shame!

Sunset Aparthotel - (Accommodation in Tingaki)

Thanks guys for another fantastic holiday. Great room, great staff, great times and great memories.

For people who have not been to the Sunset I would highly recommend it. The rooms are what people should come to expect of Greece  - clean, equipped with enough to make a brew and a snack and a bonus for the sunset - mossie nets on the window, air con etc etc etc. All the rooms i've stayed in have had either a view of the sea in the distance or a view of the mountains (my fave!!!). The staff are great & very helpful. The owner Terry and his 2 sons Nikos & Tony are very friendly and if you need anything just ask them, they get it sorted straight away. The pool is massive with plenty of beds around and a nice covered area by the pool bar so you can cool off. The food is excellent - the usual stuff you can expect like burgers and omelettes and massive salads. There is a little bar in reception too which opens into an outdoor area (although it was abit chilly when we were there).
 
Tingaki has a great choice of places to go in the evening for people of all ages - try as many as possible and you will have a great time!
 
For our honeymoon we went to Las Vegas and stayed at the MGM Grand a beautiful 5 star hotel.
Where would we choose to go?
SUNSET - might not be 5 star classified but offers 5 star staff and service!!!! Highly recommended!!!!
