Peridis Family Resort

"If you are a mature couple with no children or grandchildren I suggest another choice. We are a 3 generation group and suited us for a week, despite disliking loud pool Europop! We moved from initial rooms in Reception block to newly renovated apartments across the road, really spacious, walk in shower, efficient AC but not the views of hills, some road noise but felt it was a better option. Pool areas ok but yes better sunbeds needed. Reception staff super helpful with rooms and medical query and arranged a GP to visit hotel. Worth emailing before arrival if you have any particular mobility queries. Very responsive. Clean, pool restaurant fine, A good mile walk into Kos Town. In a residential area but plenty of mini markets, coffee shops, playground etc"

"Good location from the old town and Kos centre. The closest beach was not great so we never went. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough. When we had an issue with our room we were moved straight away. It was extremely small for a family of 3. I had asked for glutenfree and dairy free options for breakfast and this was accomadated with no trouble. Our cleaner ws also very friendly and did a cracking job each day. The only downside was the size of the gym, you could only really fit one person at a time if using weights and the cardio equipment was very worn and old. Certainly not what you'd expect in a 4*. Otherwise a friendly atmosphere, quiet area, beautiful pool and activities for the kids everyday. I would put it at a 3* or 3* plus not 4*. Would stay again."

"We arrived at 2am after a flight delay and was greeted by friendly receptionist who advised our apartment was in a block across the road, as others have commented this isn't clearly signposted so look for a black gate if you are allocated here. We were in a 2 bed apartment in block 3 which had no lift but we didn't find the stairs to bothersome once cases were in the room. Air con and safety deposit box included but had to ask for safety deposit key the next day, the tourist tax is a little pricey but is clearly advertised if booking via Jet2 that this is an additional cost so we were expecting it. The apartment block was across a busy road so something to consider if with small children, we had teens so not an issue and at night you can't hear the noise once doors/shutters closed. The hotel itself is split across locations, with reception being in one place and the pool/restaurant in another, personally this doesn't bother me and was only a minute or two's walk each day. The two bedroom apartment was excellent, with a separate lounge and kitchen/diner with full size fridge freezer, bathroom with washing machine and huge wrap around balcony. Could not fault the apartment at all. The pool area was a little smaller than I expected but still had two large pools and a separate baby pool. We secured sunbeds every day with no bother, with most days sunbeds available well into mid-morning. However people were reserving sunbeds in there preferred spot and nothing was done about this, there was signage but means nothing if not policed. Sunbeds have QR code that you can order drinks/food to your lounger which was a really nice touch that we used frequently. We were self catering so didn't eat at breakfast but did have lunch on one occasion which was really nice and very reasonably priced. There are lots of small supermarkets within walking distance but the biggest is just past the pool area (turn left out of pool and at end of the road) with everything you could possibly need. Staff at the hotel are super friendly and make this hotel what it is, bar/waiting staff always happy to serve and will remember what your order is over the course of your stay making you feel very welcomed. Cleaning staff also amazing, cleaned daily and couldn't fault that. Location wise its roughly 15 minute walk into Kos Town but if you head to the sea there are lots of nice restaurants to eat at without going into town. You can eat practically on the seashore which was lovely. Be warned the paths in Kos are not great with trees growing in the middle of them, would think it would be difficult in places with a buggy or wheelchair user. Kos town itself has a nice atmosphere with plenty of bars and restaurants which we never had any difficult getting a table as a family of four. We walked to the beach on one occasion and it wasn't a particularly sandy beach so didn't end up going again but there was a nice beach bar that we ate at that again was reasonable and nice food. Overall we had an enjoyable holiday and the location within walking distance to Kos town was great, the hotel had everything we needed but do agree with others that not a 5 star. We wouldn't stay again but purely because we like to try different places each year, if you have booked I am sure you will have an enjoyable stay."
