We had a fantastic holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food was excellent, especially the pizzas we had for lunch at the Italian restaurant. The staff were friendly and the entire hotel area was kept very clean and modern.
We visited the beach as part of a package tour from Germany that included everything. The hotel is situated in Marmari and has its own stunning beach just across the road. The beach is considered one of the finest in Kos and is not overcrowded since it is not open to the public. The hotel rooms were very spacious and reasonably well-equipped. Inside the hotel, there are pools, a spa, a theater, shops, and a kids' playground, making it perfect for families with children. The food was absolutely amazing, with high-quality options and a consistently clean environment. All of the staff members were extremely helpful. The only minor downside is that it is a bit far from Kos town (16km) and other main attractions in Kos, so renting a car or scooter may be necessary for getting around.
To begin with, this resort is conveniently situated and offers great value for the price. Additionally, it boasts a stunning and tranquil atmosphere with awe-inspiring views, making it an ideal choice for honeymoons. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and the reception desk is available around the clock, which is a nice touch.
My husband and I recently came back from our trip, and we're already considering booking our next visit for next year! The staff, particularly George Tollis and Adonis, were absolutely fantastic. The food was decent, and the drinks were enjoyable. We can't wait to come back! Thank you, Sandy Beach, for providing us with an incredible stay.
Cons- The beds are extremely uncomfortable with terrible mattresses, resulting in sleepless nights. Additionally, there is a lack of electrical sockets in the rooms, with not a single one in the bathroom. Sandyland, although it has potential, is poorly executed and maintained. The doors are problematic, including the bathroom door (which won't stay shut), the balcony door (difficult to lock properly), and the room door (flashing red and blue lights, delayed entry, and audible beeps, along with other design flaws). The entertainment, aside from the two live music shows, is awful. The person in charge of the entertainment is highly unprofessional, even venting his frustrations and discontent to a crowd of people at the kids disco (seriously). The slides are almost dangerous, as there is no guidance or supervision from hotel safety personnel (there is only one person watching, but not providing any direction). Not to mention, they are poorly designed. The food is average at best. I had goulash outside of the hotel, and it was far better than anything offered at the hotel. Pros- The hotel area is decent, but it needs better maintenance, especially when it comes to cutting the grass. The beach is fantastic with breathtaking views, and the water quality is unparalleled. However, the hotel should replace the worn-out changing shack and install better showers. The beach chairs are alright, but there are much better ones available at other hotels. Moreover, there is a complete lack of seating for the hotel's capacity, so it's necessary to wake up early and reserve some chairs. Recommendations- Opt for the three island tour instead of the cheaper option. Skip the regular (Kos) island tour and choose the Off The Beaten Path tour, even though it's more expensive, it's worth it for a reason. Conclusion- Not terrible, but there is definitely room for improvement. There is much more to discuss, but unfortunately, there is a character limit on this website.
