Zeus Kos Beach

"Wow what a find! I can't believe it's only a 2 star, this has got to be the best family run hotel on Kos. Immaculately clean, fantastic location, lovely breakfast all be it basic but beautifully presented. All the family really look after you so well and all deserve huge credit for their kindness and helpfulness. A special mention to the 3 guys behind the bar at a night time Nicholas, Manos and Costa ( I hope I've got the spelling right) know everyone by name they know your drinks order before you even ask. Amazing. And great entertainers fanatic singers and dancers . Nicholas rendition of rock around the clock will stay with us for ever. So if you're looking for an inexpensive B+B get yourself to Zeus. 10 out of 10 . Don't ever change anything your perfect just the way you are."

"A hotel to avoid. 5 stars for a hotel that isn't worth 2. Having to go to the main bar to get a snack at mealtime without being served at the table is unacceptable for a so-called 5-star hotel. A hotel supposedly for disabled people! To get to the beach, a 13% slope. Let's talk about the buffet!! Appetizers always the same thing to make a Greek salad, but low-quality feta. Main course!!! No fish or anything else in 1 week, once some thawed fish. Dessert! Great, only fruit. To be avoided, not even worthy of a 2-star hotel. The shower next to the pool that backs up the hotel toilets with the toilet paper floating just before entering the main pool. For once, they reacted!!!! The signature cocktail from Voyage Privé, they don't know it. To conclude, nothing works in this hotel except the staff, who can't help it. Avoid at all costs."

"This is the dearest holiday we booked with Jet 2 which they passed off as a 4.5 star hotel (the hotel itself rates itself 5 star.) Jet 2 needs to visit this hotel it is definately a 3Star, to regrade it. We booked rooms next door to each other as Ma in law is 91 so needed to be close and despite me having disabilitIes our only request was for next door rooms and walk in showers and lifts. So we are shown to our rooms my ma in law was right down the corridor her room was nice 8 mirrors etc. Then we get taken back up the corridor to our room with I mirror in bathroom permanently misted no full length mirror quite basic compared to hers. Then we drew back the curtains and looked straight into the restuarant. All eyes on us no privacy couldn't sit on balcony for first drink of the day. Curtains permanently closed. So my husband said no way are we staying in that room we are not paying over £5,000.00 for 3 of us to stay in those rooms and deffo needed adjoining rooms as requested it was important. So we then had to work out of our suitcases for 3 days till they found us adjoining rooms which were still better but still no mirror in ours. Then they expect us to pay £1.50 if we wanted a machine coffee. (I don't think so)!!! Then there is no proper wardrobes no drawers for your clothes bearing in mind they consider this a 5 Star. Just shelves and a small hanging rail. The bathroom flooded everytime we used the shower it leaked into the room and with 2 of us it was a swamp. Not to mention how dangerous it was on the slippy floors. We had to line the bathroom floors with our used towels everyday and try to stay on our feet in the shower. Then the food breakfast was just OK but the lunchtime and evening was awful and more or less the same every day the only snacks we saw were at the pool bar dried up sandwiches which sat all day in the sun dried up and inedible sitting in a paper cereal bowl. I just wanted to get on the first plane home. This was our fifth Greek Island we have visited the other 4 were glorious but there didn't appear to be a lot on Cos it all centred down the other end of Island and Cos itself we spent an hour trying to park and gave up. Headed back to hotel got ready for the entertainment round the pool. We must say the two youngsters entertaining us were extremely talented and basically held things together but when we entered the 2nd week it was repeated and karaoke at a five star for entertainment is pretty poor. But when it came to staff they were the best from lovely Mario in the dining hall to the entertainment guys they were lovely but it appears without the team there running everything it would be nothing because it felt like this hotel is being run on a shoestring. It's definately never a 5 star be warned 3 star at best. Oh and the deserts ran out after a week it was fresh fruit or fresh fruit not to mention some of the bar drinks by the pool. Never again. However the Zues hotel in Crete same chain is amazing wonderful food. Its a nice hotel sadly lacking and needs a touch up and attention to detail and more staff. Also you need to be incredibly fit to manage the road down to the beach and sun terrace but that's the only way you'll get a sunbed maybe????"
