Tropical Sol

Tropical Sol. The hotel is what it says 3 stars. Old school hotel. Food was ok but that’s what you expect for 3star hotel. You cannot fault the cleanliness of the rooms and toilets. Maids everyday apart from Sunday. We had a lovely lady who went out of her way to make our little ones bed and neaten his toys up each day. Thank you :) Avoid room 141 - the laundry sits right outside your balcony in big metal crates. Aircon barely worked. Day 2 we asked to move and the receptionist was very helpful with this. Second room we got was much better. Bar - the barman is pretty miserable. The only time we see him smile was when a group of ladies all turned up mid week. We felt as though whatever we asked for was a hassle or a big effort for him. Which is unfortunate as everybody loves a pool bar right?! Pool - Cold pool! Ok for a quick dip but we found it bit too cold to be in for long! Kids pool - ideal size our little one loved it. Only fault.. it didn’t seem to be cleaned all week. Location is great.. you are right where the shops and restaurants are. Walking distance to the beach. Ideal for a family with a little one as you can just walk wherever day/evening. We got a private taxi to Kos town costing us €60 return for 4 adults and 1 infant ( sounds costly but they provide a car seat so we thought it was worth it. ) Overall if you know what to expect it is a sweet hotel and very clean.

Hotel that mainly caters for people that are not British Air conditioning free incredibly slow to function Safe deposit box 25 euros Rooms ok , but very small and in need of modernisation balconies , small cramps and no privacy, the rooms constantly smells of cigarette smoke due to the volume of people at the hotel that smoked Breakfast Couldn't get away from people smoking and not enough tables and chairs for all guests Alot of guests had to sit on lower chairs and tables, which is not ideal when trying to eat breakfast. Shower room small and floods

Rooms a little tired , dark brown old-fashioned Greek furniture which is has seen better days Hoping Bathrooms showers recently refurbished but there is an issue with drainage so flooding occurs every time you take a shower Balconies no privacy Viewed two cages of dirty laundry from our balcony window for our entire Stay Breakfast is okay, catered mainly for Germans 7-9:30 Air conditioning free, €25 for safety deposit box key not combination Towels changed three times a week Wi-Fi connection good

Stayed for three nights, the location is perfect, so close to the beach, bars, restaurants and supermarket. The staff we encountered were friendly and the grounds are well kept. The downside is that the hotel is very old. The room door lock is a physical key and you have to press to lock it from inside for the door to actually lock. The air con is hard to use and it seems to have a mind of its own, plus it does not work when you leave the room so don’t expect to come back to a cool room. The breakfast is very basic. The cereal bowls look like a cat water bowl! Finally the bathrooms are very small and very old. Overall a nice break in a hotel that is in a fantastic location with friendly staff but just be aware that this is basic accommodation.

Very decent 3*. Rooms are a bit tatty but clean. Beds and pillows comfy. Towels changed every day. Location is excellent, right in the middle of the ***** leading to the beach, surrounded by restaurants and souvenirs shops. Supermarket in front, letter box opposite. Staff a bit cold at first but nice people. The only let down is the breakfast, very limited in choice.

13 nights stay in this lovely hotel, would 100% recommend. A very good 3* hotel. Rooms and furniture quite basic, as expected in Greece but very clean. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Small fridge, only big enough to hold a couple of large bottles but did us fine. Air con, but only works when in room as room key activates. Breakfast, better than expected as we were just expecting continental but did have fried and scrambled eggs as well daily, sometimes beans. Fruit limited, Watermelon, apples and ‘tinned fruit cocktail’ every day. Croissants and pastries, was adequate. Swimming pool pleasant and clean. No need to reserve sunbeds, always some available. Bar food lovely, try the Gryos plate to share, delicious! Terri cheerful bar man, all staff pleasant, hotel has area at beach with sunbeds with mattresses 15E for 2 with umbrella on front row. Location is fantastic, would definitely return to Tigaki. One main road full of hotels, restaurants, shops and a few bars, not noisey at night though. Lovely restaurants are favourites were Aliada (lamb klefiko best we found!), Brusko and To Nei Kapillio all very nice. Couple of nice Italians too. House wine very nice only 6-7E per 1/2 litre Cocktails on resort very reasonable, 5-7E Large supermarket directly opposite hotel. Really easy to get around, bus into Kos Town only 2.3E takes 20 mins direct from Tagaki every hour. Lovely marina there , plenty of shops and restaurants, In Tigaki we booked for the 3 island boat trip and we hired a car through the rental place next to the hotel. Very easy to drive around the island as only one main round, visited Paradise beach, beautiful but busy. Preferred Agios Stefanios beach, stunning. Also worth a visit to therma beach (free), some trips available but we got bus into Kos, then walked to marina snd round the corner to the right, bus number 5 to therma, lovely to sit on the hot volcanic spa where it meets the cool sea. 15 min walk up road to beautiful wine tasting place, Hatziemmanouil recommend to go early evening for the sunset

Lovely clean hotel with friendly staff and good air conditioning in the room which was very much appreciated! Our flight out had been delayed so instead of arriving at 9pm it was midnight before we got to the hotel. The staff were welcoming and the bar was still open which was just what we needed! The bar tender was also very friendly and always waved when he saw us. The breakfast each morning was good (self service buffet) and there was always a couple of sun beds by the pool late afternoon when we liked to go for a swim. The hotel is central to the town with its tavernas and supermarkets close to hand and only a few minutes walk to the beach. Our room was at the back of the hotel so nice and quiet with a view of the mountains and sea in the distance and the balcony in the shade during the afternoon which was ideal. All in all a lovely week in a lovely place.

Based on Terry behind pool bar. Amazing man. So friendly and welcoming. Room was small (bruised legs on bed) breakfast was always busy, but pool never was. Terry made our holiday. Would definitely come back although Kos is the strangest greek island.

Been coming to this village for many years and tried this hotel for the first time after being badly let down by Marianna Studios last September, and disgusted how I was treated at the Tigaki Star last May. Tropical Sol is superior in every way - excellent friendly staff, great breakfast and lovely rooms with air con included. The pool area is lovely - quiet and civilised and there is a jacuzzi next to the main pool. It has an excellent location just on the edge of the village centre right next to the bus stop and opposite the supermarket. I will definitely be back I requested a quiet room on a high floor with sea views and that is exactly what I got.
