Me and my boyfriend went to Kos town in August we really liked it. Weather was brilliant we never saw a cloud in the sky. Bit of a breeze at night which made it easy to sleep. We took loads of mosquito reppellant stuff and didnt need it in the end never saw any.
The beaches arent that great at Kos Town its worth going to other beaches around the island. Bar Street is good a lot of the bars stay open till 6 or 7 in the morning everyone dances on the bars its a good laugh. We didnt bother going to the clubs as we were told the bars are better. Book your boat trips at the harbour not through your rep as they are much cheaper. Recommend the 3 island cruise that was lovely. We stayed in the Hotel Oscar didnt think much of that, we went out all the time because we didnt really like it there.
Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 weeks in August. When we arrived there our first impressions were that it wasnt clean, the room was cluttered with too much furniture (for instance you couldnt even open the fridge door or walk around the beds properly)and only 2 of our lights worked. We asked for a pool view which we didnt get surprise surprise, our balcony overlooked other apartments and had them flipping mo-peds going up and down the street all night!! We also requested Air conditioning but it seems that the only rooms with Air-con are the ones facing the pool. The manager gives these rooms to other foreigners not the english!! After a while we got used to it the maid came everyday whether we wanted her to or not she came in whilst we were asleep. Not that they did much anyway our bed sheets never appeared to get changed and there were ants in the sides of the bed where dust and bits of food had collected which hadnt been cleaned properly. The pool was big and we went a couple of times but we never got to any sunbeds in time. There arent enough sunbeds and they cram them all together so that you cant even walk in between them. We went half board on this holiday so we had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. The food was disgusting and we didnt get to choose what we wanted we had plated planted in front of us which we weren't even told what they were. We only ate there twice. Breakfast is nice if you like eating ham and cheese, tomato and cucumber as your breakfast!!! Admittedly they had boiled eggs as well but we werent interested in that.
One day by the pool all the sewage came up so we had to move from our sunbeds and grab our stuff before the sewage got to it. It smelled so bad that we had to leave so that was another day we couldnt spend by the pool!!! Im not usually one to complain but for the amount of money that we spent to stay there I expected more. The holiday itself was made better by the resort. We met some lovely people out there and our rep was great fun too. I would definately go back to Kos but never to stay in the Hotel Oscar.
Shennanigans was good for Karaoke - Jez you made our holiday!!!
