Sovereign Beach Hotel

My holiday here was almost perfect, with the only drawback being no toilet facilities on the beach, although available at The Taverna nearby. However, having booked a room with a sea view, I was placed in a swim up bungalow with sea view which of course was delightful. My bed was very comfortable, a 1.5 litre bottle of water was supplied to my room every day with water available from the bar, restaurant and a water fountain all day, and my bathroom towels changed daily. The safe was also provided free of charge and the tea bags provided in the room were of good quality. I cannot fault one thing. The food was varied and delicious with quality fresh fruit and desserts and, provided you didn't turn up half an hour before the restaurant closed, everything was at a good temperature and quality. Sadly, I did witness a guest complaining that her cauliflower was cold and had arrived at the restaurant near closing time. The term "buffet restaurant" does get lost on some. However, this was dealt with by the Maitre D with high professionalism and efficiency. I don't know how she kept her cool! All the staff were friendly and quick to come to my assistance if needed, and used plates, etc were promptly cleared from my table. The bar staff at the pool and the main bar worked an excellent system to keep the queues down, which facilitated a fast service but still maintaining cheerful banter with the guests. I loved the salt water swimming pool which is a good size and had plenty of sunbeds available provided people didn't reserve for when they got back from their day trip or whatever. The hotel do request people not to do this but there will always be the few "entitled" guests. Perhaps the Sovereign Beach could do what some other hotels do and remove towels from sunbeds which have been unoccupied for a certain length of time in the morning so that the offenders have to do a walk of shame to recover their towels! All in all a jewel of a hotel which deserves to be in the top ratings. I had a perfect holiday. Thank you Sovereign Beach Hotel.

We’ve just returned from a truly fabulous 9 days at this hotel. The staff were so friendly and everywhere very clean. The main buffet restaurant had a great choice and variety of dishes every day and there was also a pool bar that served crepes, ice cream and cake during the day as well as a beach bar that served burgers, gyros, souvlaki, chips etc for an additional snack if you were still hungry. We had two swim up bungalow rooms and they were definitely worth the extra money. We had a beautiful view, a good sized swimming pool and less than a minutes walk to the beach bar and actual beach. There’s varied activities and entertainment during the day and evening so should be something for everyone, we won the fun bingo one evening and received numerous prizes as well as a free jet ski session which proved very popular with my son! We walked into Kardamena for the evening several times, the walk takes about 20 mins and is all flat and right by the sea. There’s a great selection of bars, restaurants and shops in the town as well as a lovely harbour area. There is a free bus from the hotel twice a day into the town but we enjoyed the walk especially in the evening when the moon was coming up….and got great photo shots over the sea. Would throughly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of booking it.

We have spent the last week at the Sovereign Beach Hotel. I was a bit worried after reading some of the previous reviews, but should have known better. The hotels excellent, food great... different theme each night. There is also a pool bar and another snack bar within the grounds on your way to the beach, we're you can get burgers, chips kebabs etc. The pool is one of the best pools of any Hotel I've stayed in over the years. It is approximately a 25 m pool, so if you like to do lengths it great. Ther is also a Beach belonging to the hotel about 200m at end of hotel grounds. Kardamena is a 20 minute walk from hotel along the beach road, with a couple of bars along the way. The best one is only about 5 minute walk called the Atlantis. The 2 guys that work in it are very friendly, great place to relax with a Greek Cider, that I will definitely miss when I go home, it's gorgeous. Another great bar is The Banana bar just before you go into the main town. Again very friendly. The only downside was both of them closed about 7pm. Another recommendation we got was The Alexander restaurant in town and didn't disappoint, excellent and very reasonable. Back to the hotel, Kayt and her team, bar staff waitresses, cleaners and especially the animation team are fantastic. Well done guys for making our week one to remember. Lastly would like to thank the TUI reps at the hotel and airport for helping one of our party Locate and get back a peice of luggage left behind on arrival in Kos.
