We stayed in a modern apartment on this huge complex, maids came every day, we dont have children but there seemed to be lots of entertainment for families which was good, the hotel is right on the beach which is pebbly but water is clear and great for snorkelling.
Spent 2 weeks in a modern apartment, high ceilings and nice balcony, couldnt keep this room on till late on the last day so we switched rooms to an older studio which wasnt as nice! Maids came everyday, staff were all friendly, pool side cafe doesnt do food all day so beware! Hotel on outskirts of Kos Town so just right, not too far out but away from hustle and noise. The hotel is right on the beach so you have the choice of either pool or beach, which is great, You can hire bikes for 1.50 euros a day for 5 days from altantis and this is definately worth doing. Hotel reception and bar, etc all very impressive, 3 pools which was great because everybody was spread out. You buy your sunbeds at reception which eleviates the problem of people hoggin them with their towels early mornin!!! We have recommended this hotel to all our family, especially if you have kids.
Katerina Boat - Having seen peoples comments about this trip on the website before we went I made a bee line for the Katerina amongst all the other boats and we were certainly not dissapointed, the boat is lovely, its a family run business and they take pride in what they do!! Lots of laughs, dancing and some beautiful scenery. Great value for money and a definate must do!
