Astir Odysseus Kos Resort & Spa

.

The hotel has the friendliest and most helpful staff - especially in the restaurant. The only staff I found a bit annoying were the spa ladies who tried to sell you treatments right when you come out of the main restaurant. The treatment I had was okay but not really worth the money. We had swim-up rooms and unfortunately there were ants in my bathroom which should have been noticed by the cleaning staff. The rooms were okay but you could see tear and wear on the furniture which was a shame. The property with all the plants and trees is amazing. The gardeners do a fantastic job and it is a joy to walk around the property.

Really good resort with good facilities

A fantastic resort. Without telling us, front of house gave us a swim up room which was such a pleasant surprise, travelling with 2 boys aged 2 and a half and 8 and a half, it was a great way to break up our day (albeit some hotel stayers felt it appropriate to swim up and down our section, this is no fault of the resort). The food was great, with a huge selection of foods with fresh fish being cooked daily (you choose the fish and they’ll grill it whole!) and a carvery section as well. Plenty of pools to keep you busy, the only downside was there are no slides or a splash area for toddlers. The beach is small, pebbly at parts but has pockets of sand which is great for kids. The kids entertainment every evening got a little repetitive, but the kids seemed to enjoy it. They have an outdoor playground which is a great touch, as well as rock climbing and mini golf which the older one really enjoyed. Overall the resort was clean, the staff were really helpful. Would definitely visit again
