Harmony Crest Resort & Spa

"Harmony Crest resort is situated around a 10/15 minute bus/car journey from Kos town, the bus stop is at the bottom of the road from the hotel, also E-Scooters from Volto if you download the app. We stayed Wednesday to Wednesday. On arrival we were greeted at reception with complimentary drinks. All guests are required to pay the tourism tax which for two people, 1 week is €70 based on a 4 star hotel, 5* cost more btw. We was offered an upgrade to swim up room however out of the 3 blocks or rooms with swimups, 2 of them are constantly in the shade so was not of any value to us personally. Our room was clean and tidy, we did have an issue or two but reception swiftly dealt with them so I can’t complain at all. (Fridge wasn’t working) . Treat the cleaners well and they treat you well, a big thanks to the housekeeping team, we actually had a little competition going on between us and them who could make the best towel animals ect. This was a key moment for us that made us enjoy our stay. FOOD - Yes this is an all inclusive hotel but dont expect your massive dining rooms with tons to choose from because this is not the case. Breakfast everyday is fresh eggs (can be cooked to how you like) sausages, bacon, salad ect… Lunch is generally pizza, chips and pasta. Dinner is almost the same tbh. DRINKS- 2 bars, pool one during the day and indoor bar in the evenings. Cocktails ect, some are too shelf so you pay for them but there is enough of a selection from the inclusive menu. SPA- no idea why this hotel is a resort and spa because there is no spa… theres 1 sauna that you have to pay for and thats it.. treatment section was closed all week until our last day. Things to do at the hotel- pool table €2 a game, a dart game and an interactive game table. On our stay we only had 2 nights of some entertainment, singers on one and belly dancing on another. Most people sat around playing cards together. Theres a small section behind reception with some bits like cans/oreos/crisps and some other body bits but thats it, theres a market shop about 1 mile towards kos town. This is a small hotel, if your looking for a big resort then this hotel isn’t for you. If you’re a couple looking for a quiet, peaceful vibe then i would recommend this hotel. Id recommend going out to kos town and the old town, go for a nice meal because the food does get boring at the hotel tbh. Overall id give this a 3 star hotel, definitely could be better."

"The hotel is pretty much as described. It is quiet with lovely views. The room was spotlessly clean. The food and drink is plentiful. We ate out most of the time, as planned, but the food we did eat was good quality. Staff were always friendly and welcoming, and willing to answer any questions about the hotel and Kos. There is a lack of any entertainment in the bar on evenings, so make sure you take cards/games to keep you entertained. If you plan to eat out, visit Romeo’s which is about a 10 minute walk away. Food is good, but the owner is super friendly and can’t do enough for you."

"I could say so much about this place but I’ll try to keep it short. The worst hotel we have ever stayed in. Several of the Hotel staff were sighing constantly. The food is extremely low quality and borderline inedible as other reviews have stated (wish we read this before booking). The rooms are not in good condition at all and stink of sewage at random parts of the day. Our shower head was rusted, did not work properly and it took 3 days to get this resolved. Items hanging off the wall and mould in the fridge. Ants all over the room too on day one!.When we raised this with staff we were offered an ant spray. I asked them to send someone to do this and they did. At one point after the morning clean we had left for a short walk and the cleaner snuck back into our room and cleared the mould, when we returned 2 managers and the cleaner were in our room and the cleaner was saying there is no mould and we were lying. Fortunately for us we took many photos and the manager said it’s ok she was lying. Nothing else came of this and we did not feel safe having her come back to our room. The walls are also extremely thin so you can hear every step in the adjacent rooms. How this is a 4* we do not understand. If you have any respect for yourself at all, AVOID this “hotel”."
