A lovely week in Kos with my best friend and couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. Everything was immaculately clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel suited us at it sits a stone’s throw from a serene stretch of coastline, with nearby Tigaki and Kos town easily accessible by rental/bus/taxi for bars and restaurants. I felt able to switch off and relax in a way I haven’t been able to for a long time and just let myself go along with the Island’s flow. Highly recommend visiting the mountain town of Zia and climbing Mount Dikaios, as well as the Three Island Boat Trip. The local beach of Marmari is so quiet and peaceful and only a short walk from the hotel, with water as clear as glass and sunbeds that we made good use of. Every day, we’d stop in the little supermarket for water en route to the beach and the couple there couldn’t have been more friendly, as was our experience with most locals. From arrival, Hotel Manager Dimitris was on hand with recommendations and advice on exploring the island and all excursions/rentals can be booked through him. He could always be found behind the bar, happy to chat and make excellent drinks and always provided top notch service. Mama Clairy’s cooking was the defining experience of our stay - every night she provided a delicious, home-cooked, three-course, traditional meal. Not to forget the home-made jams on offer with the breakfast selection (of which she kindly provided a pot of for me to take home - love you Mama Clairy). As two young women travelling alone we always felt safe on the island, especially at the hotel. I think the family atmosphere spilled out to the guests and we made some brilliant friends in our short time there. If you want a unique, authentic, comfortable stay, full of personality and great food, don’t bother looking anywhere else. We begrudgingly packed up our suitcases on the last day and returned home with nothing but fond memories, appreciation and thanks for our trip to this little island and the lovely Bourantanis family who looked after us so well.
