Kipriotis Panorama - (Accommodation in Psalidi)

Jackie E           

Having read previous comments which appear to have disappeared, I was looking forward to my stay!! We weren't given rooms in the main building, but in what turned out to be the old Hipocrates Apartments, now run by the hotel. Initailly disappointed, we then became rather pleased as the main hotel had continual problems with its drains with a very strong smell of sewage in many of its corridors, and our room was huge in comparison to the main hotel. The level of service however was appalling definitely not 5*!!! The restaurant staff were in short supply and in was quite common to wait ages for any drinks with meals, many people receiving their wine when they were already eating their desserts!!! At breakfast w often had to grab our own coffee, which was served in Thermos flasks to the table. This was never fresh unless in first as the flasks were passed from table to table by the waiters after people had finished!!! Reception staff were just as inefficient, our room being short of pool towels having only been given one, we requested another, 4 requests later it arrived, yet again this is not 5* standard. The food was exellent, with a great variety although vegetarians would have a hard time! Overall the hotel is not up to the standard of its 5* status, it is more like a Spanish 3*. The views are great, but the local beach is unusable. Considering this hotel is part of a worldwide chain Iberostar, I would expect better.

Paradise Beach - (Beaches on Kos)

Brilliant beach - clean and safe, with a great choice of watersports, better then any of the beaches in the Kos Town/Psalidi area. Travelled here by bus easily from Kos well worth the effort. The bubbles were cool - rather like your own jacuzzi in the sea.
