The tour was very good. We visited several locations on the Island with a good guide who gave an insight into the history and way of life on Kos. The pretty village of Zia was very nice and had some superb views of the island from this high mountain point. We also got a plate of Greek yogurt and honey at a Taverna, which we were told was exclusive to their tour. We stopped for lunch at the resort of Mastichari, which was also included in the price and you could choose your meal from quite a varied selection. The coach was air conditioned which was often a nice respite from the heat of the day. We got back to the apartments about 5.30pm.

Mixed Grill was good value at only 7 euros each. OK for a lighter meal but lacking in variety and Greek dishes.

Presentation of your meal is a factor at this restaurant which is reflected in it's slightly above average prices. Excellent food and service in pleasant surroundings.

The place has a lovely atmosphere with waterfalls down the walls and a fountain centrepiece that add a touch of magic to the place. The service we received was excellent and the meals were very good. This restaurant is highly recommended.

May 2004: Our first ever late deal was with Kosmar. Apart from the flight, as they charter other airlines, we had no complaints about them. If you're unlucky enough to get the 737 "IslandFlug" Airlines flight from EMA you'll find it a cramped uncomfortable flight. The meals on the this flight though were better than expected. The Rep' in Tingaki(Sheila) was great, not pushy and always available should you need help. The Airport transfers were the usual dissorganised mess I've found with most tour operators.

We had a fast food lunch here. They provided a very quick meal of Burger & Chips for me and Sausage, Egg & Chips for the wife which was just what we wanted for a quick lunchtime snack.

Cheap and cheerful for the "chips with everything" brigade!

Not much to say about this place. Decidedly poor! Average surroundings, Abismal service and a very bland meal, meant we quickly crossed this one off our "Recommendation" sheet. Avoid!!Read my full Kos "Holiday Report" at

We stayed at the "Suunt Days" in May this year. We had booked a late deal for this holiday and luckily managed to get a Double bedded Apartment at no extra cost than a "Studio" type room. The apartment was very clean and spacious, with a separate WC/Shower room and Bedroom. The usual “litter" bin was placed next to the toilet, which we recalled from our last visit to the Greek Islands, was for putting your used toilet tissue in. Obviously, Greek sewerage facilities hadn't improved in the 3 years since we last visited! There was a private Balcony overlooking the rear of the apartments and plenty of towels, utensils, etc. provided. The apartment was cleaned on a daily basis. The hot water in our apartment (B13) was non existent! Instead of complain about it, which I suppose we should have done, we put up with cold showers and boiled a pan of water for washing, etc. There is no kettle in the apartments, so if you want to boil water quickly, you need to bring one with you. In place of a kettle is a small saucepan with a pouring lip that's just big enough for about two cups of water. It suffices and boils quite quickly.

The shower did not have a curtain on it. If you find one that does, consider it a bonus as they are not the norm, we were told. The apartment had an air-conditioning unit above the entrance door which didn't appear to work, presumably to encourage you to rent a Hotel fan from reception instead :-) The Safety Deposit box in one of the wardrobes in the bedroom also requires hiring a key for it from reception at a cost of 15euros for a week.

The bedroom in the apartment was adequate with a wardrobe and plenty of drawers for your clothes. A telephone was in the room but I never tried it to see if it was in use. There was one of those recessed in wall Radio's as well but ours didn't work.

Mosquitoes can be a bit of a problem at night. We did get a few bites, but found that a rolled up newspaper was often the best way of dealing with the pests! We also used a plug-in electric repellent device in the bedroom overnight, which we found very effective.

The Hotel has very little in the way of entertainment, but that may be just because it was early in the season. There is a lounge/bar adjoining the reception area with a big screen projection TV playing Greek and English TV.

The Swimming pool is large with a little bridge cutting it in two, which gives an unusual look to the pool. There is also a toddler’s paddling pool. There was a poolside bar and entertainments area which wasn't in use, but possibly would be later in the season.

The hotel is also used by "Alltours" (Germany) and "Sudtours" (Holland) as a destination so don't be surprised to hear a mix of languages around the pool.
