The Aeolos Beach Hotel

I was a bit unsure after reading the reviews but the rooms and staff in the hotel were excellent. The rooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable (we had premium bungalows 657 and 658) which had a direct view of the sea. The bungalows appeared to have been recently refurbished. The staff were all friendly and helpful and if you like cats there were lots of them which was a lovely addition to the hotel. The hotel was closing down for winter and so perhaps wasn’t the best time to go as beach and grill restaurants were closed and pool was closing down. The description is on a stunning beach - the beach is very small and far from stunning but to be fair that didn’t detract from our stay. The sunbeds around the grass were nice and peaceful and the sea was great. The hotel isn’t really near anywhere, there’s a small shop in reception but otherwise there’s nowhere to go for a stroll. We ended up hiring a car which was easy enough and meant we got to explore Kos. The big negative was the food. The fresh salads were really good but with the hot food, choice was very limited. Breakfasts were removed early and dinner was very similar every night. The quality also wasn’t the best. The big problem was though that the food was cold. Initially I thought it was because we were late to dinner but even when we were the first in the restaurant when it opened the food was still cold. It’s a shame as it’s actually a lovely hotel with brilliant rooms and staff and you can get round the location with a car but the food did really let it down.

I was quite hesitant to come to the hotel following the reviews but overall we had a really good holiday. Starting with the cons the food isn’t great. even for an all inclusive the food is really limited and I struggled to have a full meal. Me and my partner ate out 3/7 days so it helped break the week up and didn’t ruin the holiday. If we didn’t put money away to eat out we would have really struggled. The pros definitely out way the cons. The grounds are stunning and the staff are lovely. There is limited entertainment but the bar staff are brilliant and made the holiday. We upgraded to the bungalows, we definitely recommend this as the the bungalow only pool is lovely. It needs a clean but the view is gorgeous and it’s lovely and quite. The drinks are standard all inclusive but you can pay for upgraded cocktails. You can hire cars/buggy’s through the hotel but our buggy was really unsafe and they sold it to us without a working handbrake and gear box. I was a bit shocked at this as you would think the hotel would do better checks if they are endorsing the company. Overall if you bring some extra spends with you and treat yourself to a few meals out you will have an amazing week.

Beautiful location. Superior bungalow was very clean and spacious. Restaurant was good but food was a bit repetitive. Maybe something a bit more Greek would be nice. Easy to get to Kos town, bus leaves from just outside the hotel, only 2 euros. The one thing that stood out to us were the staff. They were all absolutely amazing. Very helpful, nothing was too much of a bother for them. I think their manager must be one very proud guy.I would definitely return..

We stayed at Aeolos 1st week in October, we booked a Premium Bungalow which gave us access to the premium pool area and dedicated sun loungers. Accommodation was modern, clean and really spacious with a view of the pool area and sea. All the staff we interacted with were friendly, accommodating and made us feel really welcome. We arrived the last day Tranquillo Bar was open and were glad we got the chance to eat and drink down by the beach, made for a great evening and was so chilled out and relaxing This was our first experience of all inclusive and were not sure what to expect. We had heard friends joke about the food on these type of holidays but we're pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of dishes on offer at this hotel. Drinks were a bit more challenging, especially for my wife who normally only drinks Cider, as there was no option on offer. Cocktails were ok but too sweet for our taste and the beer option was hard going and probably not helped by everything being served in paper cups. I understand why they offer paper cups round the pool areas but the bins fill up really quickly and are overflowing by the days end, I'd be happy to pay for a deposit glass option that you keep and get refilled which might be a better way of keeping the paper waste down and stop glasses going missing or broken carelessly. The hotel itself is a bit isolated from any bars and shops however, there is a bus stop outside the hotel with a regular service that takes you into Kos town for 2 euros. You can also hire a car from reception starting from 50 euros a day, comes fully insured, including tyres, glass paint, etc, and doesn't require a credit card deposit. The other closest town, Tigaki, is great for bars, restaurants and the beach but is a car drive or taxi away (17 euros) To sum up this is a great hotel if you want a quiet relaxing break, the premium bungalows are fantastic and so is the premium pool area. I've only taken a point off because there was no Cider option and I wasn't a fan of the paper cups. Still wouldn't put me off coming back or recommending the hotel and I definitely recommend hiring a car to get out and explore because Kos is a beautiful island. Ευχαριστώ

Bei der Ankunft spätabends wirkten die beiden Damen an der Rezeption sehr unmotiviert. Ich hatte das Gefühl, von einem Roboter angesprochen zu werden...sehr speziell. Ich hatte einen "unrenovierten" Bungalow, aber mit wunderschönem Meerblick. Diese alten Bungalows sind wirklich ihr Geld nicht wert. Fehlende Glühbirnen, defektes Türschloss beim Eingang und Balkon, keine Steckdose im Bad, Armaturen im Bad verkalkt, Duschkopf undicht, schmutziger Duschvorhang, kein Schrank für die Kleider, lediglich 4 kleine Schubladen und eine Stange mit Kleiderbügeln. Die Kopfkissen waren gelblich verfärbt. Bei starkem Wind klapperte die Eingangstüre, da sie sehr verzogen war. Es gibt im Hotel auch Premium-Bungalows, die sind moderner, habe aber nicht unbedingt Meerblick. Der Speisesaal ist ungemütlich und laut. Das ständige Kreischen der Stuhlbeine auf dem Steinboden nervt, das könnte man mit Filzgleitern leicht beheben... Essen war soweit ok, halt immer nur lauwarm. Es gab eine Grillstation, wo ein Koch jeweils entweder Huhn oder Fisch auf einer Grillplatte brät...mehr Schein als Sein. Das Personal im Restaurant ist sehr freundlich und bemüht. Frühstück ist nichts besonderes, wer gerne Würstchen, Bohnen, etc. zum Frühstück liebt wird nicht enttäuscht. 2 verschiedene Brötchen sind aber für ein 4-Sterne Hotel zu wenig. Den Kaffee muss man selber am Automaten holen, schreckliche Brühe! Keine frischen Säfte, nur Fanta-ähnlicher Sprudel aus dem Automaten... Der Pool ist sehr gross, die Liegen werden bereits um 7 Uhr morgens reserviert. Das Management scheint das nicht zu interessieren. Poolbar ist ok, Cocktails sind sehr süss und werden sehr lieblos zubereitet. Sämtliche Getränke werden in Einwegbechern serviert, am Nachmittag quellen die Mülleimer über von leeren Bechern. Hier wird kaum über Nachhaltigkeit nachgedacht...schade. Der Strand ist schmal und steinig, es hat auf der Grünfläche wenige Liegen und noch weniger Sonnenschirme. Früh aufstehen und reservieren lohnt sich.. Die Liegewiese ist voller Dornen, bitte nicht barfuss gehen. Fazit: ich kann dieses Hotel nicht weiterempfehlen, da gibt es viele Alternativen, wo einem fürs gleiche Geld mehr geboten wird.

Just got back from my holiday. I arrived late into the night and was offered a sandwich, which was a nice touch. Did all the paperwork required and paid the government/Hotel Tax, 7 euros a night. The receptionists were very pleasant and helpful throughout my stay at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, except that the beds kept moving. I was in a single room with 2 twin beds, every time you sat down the bed shifted scraping on the floor, then I had to keep moving it back into place. Felt sorry for the people below me but I could hear the people above me with the same bed problems. Did not deter me from sleeping though. If you are going to use twin beds find a way to lock them together so they don't move. No bath, just a shower unit which was spacious and clean, although when I came out the shower unit the main bathroom area was drenched in water from the shower. Thank goodness for the extra towels. The chambermaid who serviced room 319, was the best, she was very friendly and had no problems helping me when she could. Lovely lady. Breakfast, where do I start. American/English style breakfast is from 07:30 to 09:30 and is buffet style, then it changes to a continental style breakfast after that. No matter what time you went before 09:30 the breakfast was lukewarm at best. The trays were taken away and you were left standing there waiting, not knowing if they were coming back with a fresh tray. There is a Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate machine but its only available to access at breakfast. I did not find the dining room staff friendly, except for one male staff member, who always had a smile and a good morning/afternoon for you. I wanted to have hot chocolate with my lunch and the machines were locked. When I asked why, I was told I could access the machine by the pool. Good thing I brought my own sachets with me. The machine in the main restaurant is only accessible at breakfast. The stunning beach. They were having a laugh when they printed that on the website. The beach is a thin strip of sand barely enough to hold 4 people standing side by side. There are no loungers on the beach but there were loads on the grassy area. please see my picture of the golden sands. I'm not lying, what a let down, it was one of the reasons I chose this hotel. But saying all that I was able to sit on the lounger and read my book in relative peace and quiet. I went to find out about using the sauna and was told there wasn't one and I couldn't find the gym. If you get the time and have the money book and go to the HAMAM spa and wellness. I did 150 minutes of pure bliss. I would've been there everyday, brilliant. Make sure you bring a bikini. Would I stay there again, definite no!. This is a 3* hotel for me, not 4*. The pictures on the website bear no resemblance to the real thing. If you wanted peace and quiet, then this is the place to come, loved that about it. It's just a pity that it is let down by the food and the lack of am
