Mascot Bar was the most friendly and fun bar that we found by far. The staff were great fun and we hardly ever left before 4am. If you like cheesy english pop music and loadsa alcohol then this is the place to go! Highly recommended to all who want a good night out...i can guarantee that once you've been there you'll spend every night of your holiday there! Anyone going there say hi to Con from me!
We went in May so it was very quiet. One day we had the pool to ourselves! Nickos is great (especially when you meet up with him later on in the Mascot Bar!). Greasy (but big and generally nice!)pool snacks help with bad hangovers! Apartment was fairly basic but fine for what we needed. Location was not bad...10 minute walk to the main stretch of restaurants and bars. Overall a friendly relaxed place to stay. We are planning on going back next year.
We had a breakfast and a couple of dinners here. We loved it. Both dinner times we had pizzas. They were the best pizzas ever. Sooooooo cheesy! The banana split is also highly recommended. The breakfast was also excellent with all the english touches included...a pot of tea, toast and marmalade, english bacon (or greek if you prefer!) etc. It was also great value for money as you never went away feeling hungry!

We are sisters (age 17 and 21) and we were worried that there wasn't going to be alot to do in tingaki as the brochure said that it was a small quiet place. It is small but it depends what you want out of a holiday. We had a great time. Spent the day by the pool or the beach (the beach is lovely and sandy and has a nice breeze) and then in the evenings we went to one of the many restaurants for a meal. The restaurants pretty much all do english food as there are so many english holiday-makers there. There are burgers, chips, pizzas and steaks on most menus and there is bound to be more than one restaurant to suit all tastes. We recommend the sagittarius restaurant (which is about a 10-15 minute walk along the road on the right hand side when you are walking away from the beach) you can see our review of this on the restaurant review part of this website.
After eating we recommend the mascot bar. This is a good place for the whole family as it is very friendly and great fun. Many nights have entertainment such as karaoke or comedy nights and these are enjoyed by all ages.
Overall we had a great holiday and would highly recommend the resort.
Any further questions - just ask!!
The JMC reps were really welcoming and friendly. Our welcome meeting was very helpful. We stayed in Tingaki and our rep was Gemma. She was great fun. We went on a couple of the organised trips including the pub crawl in Kos Town on a Thursday night. Even though they had to do the same thing every week the reps were all really up for it and put so much effort in to make our night a good one. The turbulance on the flight home was the scariest thing in my life but overall we would recommend JMC/Thomas Cook.
MASCOT RULES! Without a doubt the best bar on the island. We went to kos town on a pub crawl one night but still ended up in mascot by the end of the night. Music was fantastic all night (george the DJ was the best, playing all requests - top bloke), loadsa free drinks and the staff were all brilliant. Little Con - carry on making everyones night with your crazy dance moves and your cheeky smile! Con the entertainer was the funniest, craziest australian ever...'FLAMIN GALAR'!! Theo...typical greek barman...brilliant fun and great for free drinks! Yannis was a good laugh and Chris...what can we say?...not really our type but he seemed to do well on the door attracting all the girls! Go and judge for yourselves!! we're planning on going back next year so we'll hopefully see everyone again then-can't wait!

There is a cash machine which you can get money out of with a mastercard or visa in Tingaki.
It is right on the row of shops/restaurants by the beach.
Ask anyone around that area and they'll direct you to it.
