We have just come back from a week in Kos and this place was fantastic. It has a 4 star rating and does live up to that. The apartments are large and very clean. There are no lifts however so, although we were on the second floor, it wasn't a problem for us. All the staff are friendly. I read reports on this site before I went about the dogs, no kettle, bathroom flooding, ants in the kitchen, broken air-conditioning etc but I found none of these to be a problem. We had a kettle, there were no ants in the apartment, we had a shower curtain (a rareity in some apartments) and the air-conditioning worked. There were 2 balconys and when the door were opened the air-con automatically shut off. Obviously all the plumbing in Greece is a bit rubbish but you soon get used to not putting toilet paper in the loo. Signs stated that the rooms were cleaned 5 times a week, but the cleaners came in every day and they do everything. We left some damp beach towels over the dining chair to sort out later and the cleaner hung them on an airer on the balcony. The towels are changed 3 times a week and the beds are changed twice a week.

There was a bit of a discrepancy with trying to hang onto our room as we had a late flight but other than that, everyone is fantastic.

Greece has a problem with stray dogs and cats but they are not a worry. In fact they are so friendly. There's no worries about approaching them and they're so loving.

The pool is always kept clean and Mary and George the chef at the pool bar are lovely.

The staff in the supermarket to the back of the bar are friendly and this is open from as early as half 7 in the morning to around 1 o'clock in the early hours.

All in all a definite location must!!!!

The volcano is absolutely fantastic to see but it is very hot up there and does stink a lot.

I didn't actually go down into the crater as there isn't much of a path and it's a lot of clambering down rocky slopes (shoes didn't have much grip) but my partner went down and he said although it smelt a lot worse down there, the view was awesome.

Having read this site before I visited, as I'm scared of heights I was a bit worried about the coach ride up but honestly it isn't that bad, the coach driver knows the roads like the back of his hand and you don't get that close to the edge. In fact, the views are so fantastic you won't want to get off!

Having had an excursion to Nysiros, although the volcano is great and there are a few tavernas and shops in town, the town isn't huge and for around 3 and a half hours after seeing the volcano to be left there is a bit tedious and boring. Nysiros is very open at the harbour so beware of getting sunburnt.

Definitely worth seeing though.

The Sunset which is the road down from the harbour and from Dolphin Square is gorgeous.

We absolutely adored it there. The staff are so friendly. I didn't catch the names of all of them but there is an Australian guy who I think is the boss, an older Greek waiter, a couple of others and Rob, an Englishman. They honestly cannot do enough to please you and are also very friendly and chatty.

The food is lovely, started off of course by the Greek's traditional bread in a basket. The desserts are a must-have, especially the banana split which comes complete with sparklers!

My only wish is that this place was in England!!!!

AS COMMENT, BELOW, FORGOT TO ADD THE THUMBS-UP!!! SORRY!!!!!
