Laga Aegean Village is a hotel resort located on the golden sandy shores of the south coast of Kos Island in Greece.
It's layout and use of space is characteristic of the distinctive Aegean architecture, which is apparent in the hotel's design. Built on a slope, every corner offers magnificent views of the endless deep blue Aegean Sea.
Staying at Laga Aegean Village is a treat for even the most demanding guest, as holidays of quality with high standards are offered. It is the hotel's objective and priority to offer guests the very best in hospitality, accommodation and services, and it is no wonder that repeat guest levels continue to rise yearly.
The main building lounges, restaurants, bars and facilities are located at the bottom of the slope, while all 330 rooms are situated on the hillside, which are accessed by the 24-hour complimentary mini-bus service.
There is a smart-casual dress code for evening meals. All gentlemen are required to wear long trousers and women are asked to dress appropriately.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
The hotel has lovely views of the surrounding sea area and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, cleaned daily throughout our stay, thank you Alma for looking after our room. The restaurant has plenty of choice at both breakfast and dinner (although long trousers need to be worn by men at dinner unfortunately - which can be uncomfortable in hot weather). The waiters were very helpful, in particular Mento who served us on most days! The pool and bar area is spacious (no need to reserve sunbeds at 6am!) and the pool is big and deep enough to actually swim in properly. Shout out to Miguel for his excellent cocktails!. Last but not least the entertainment team Chelsea and Lewis for the activities. Darts, yoga, water polo and mini golf were definitely our favourites, along with the evening entertainment! Thank you guys for making our stay so enjoyable!
The hotel is spacious and clean, the rooms are also kept very clean by the staff. The restaurant… same food day in day out no change in menu. Plus long trousers for your evening meal and they do not put the air con on anywhere in the hotel … which I find hard to understand when you are extremely hot at meal time .. their form of air con is opening all the doors and windows to let the hot air circulate. I stayed there in September and temperatures were 34° plus … air con is definitely needed .. bar staff are nice but very slow and delivering your drinks, slightly tedious if you are thirsty.. drinks are also quite expensive too. Down on the beach … the hotel have their own sun loungers and charge €4.5 per lounger… I think this is an absolute rip off… never stayed in a hotel anywhere that has done this. The walk to the village is a good 25 minute walk … I did this every night to get my evening meal, but that was my choice. The hotel is nice and clean, expensive for drinks and beach sun loungers, the food was definitely not for me, I’m not fussy but the same day in and day out isn’t good and with little choice.. but each to their own. I would not go back to stay there !
Visit early Sept 2026 for a week. Two 30 year old's visiting Kos for the first time. I will leave an honest/fair review as I know these are people's jobs etc Pro's
Con's
We had a nice time away, but this hotel is not worth £1,600 we paid in my opinion. Would not stay here again.
Our 3rd visit to this hotel and once again everything was very nice lovely food,nice room,lovely staff and especially a very nice pool area ok some people whinged about prices but hay ho your on holiday it’s not that bad enjoy this hotel you will love it.
Disappointing experience for a 4-star hotel
We stayed at this hotel for 6 days in room 561. Unfortunately, during our stay we encountered quite a lot of issues.
The room
• The balcony is shared between two rooms. This is quite uncomfortable when you want to sit outside and enjoy the view, while only a few metres away your neighbour is sitting in his underwear and smoking.
• The furniture in the room looks very old. For example, the desk lamp looks like something that has been there since the early 2000s. The pictures on the walls are attached with large bolts, which looks rather strange for a hotel that presents itself as a 4-star property.
• One of the electrical sockets did not work. Luckily, there was at least one other socket available.
• The room was cleaned very superficially. There was a lot of dust on the back of the bed. Behind the armchair we found two almost completely deflated balloons left by previous guests. Apparently, nobody had noticed them during cleaning. Photos are attached.
• The double bed was made with one large sheet. For a couple who prefer to sleep under separate blankets, this is inconvenient. There were only two additional blankets in the wardrobe.
• There were ants in the room.
• The toilet cistern in the bathroom was constantly leaking.
• The number of towels provided after cleaning was different every day.
• There was an incomplete set of glasses in the room.
• The TV only offered German and English channels. This was another thing that gave us the impression that the hotel is mainly aimed at German- and English-speaking guests.
Restaurant and dinner
Before dinner, there are staff members in suits at the entrance checking the dress code. I understand that wearing trousers for dinner is a hotel requirement, but during the summer season, when temperatures can approach 40°C, this can be quite uncomfortable.
The way guests are directed into the restaurant also felt unnecessarily controlling. One employee lets you in and points at another colleague. The second employee then walks you to your table and points at where exactly you are supposed to sit. This happened every evening and became quite irritating. We are adults and perfectly capable of understanding simple verbal instructions.
During dinner, the same staff members and other restaurant employees regularly walk between the tables and watch the guests while they are eating. This creates a feeling of being constantly observed.
At the same time, when a plate is completely empty and placed at the edge of the table so that it can be collected, staff can walk past it several times without taking it away. Yet when there is still food on the plate, staff may repeatedly ask whether you have finished and whether they can take it away. We really did not understand the logic behind this.
The tables for two people are also very small. There are already many things placed on the table, so fitting several plates at the same time can be difficult.
Food
The food in the restaurant was quite repetitive. Every day there were several types of pasta and usually only one type of potato. Breakfast was also almost exactly the same every day.
There was also no toaster for bread at breakfast, which we found surprising for a hotel of this category.
We expected more variety and better organisation of the meals from a 4-star hotel.
Snack bar by the pool
Menus are placed on the tables, but there are no waiters coming to take your order. You have to go to the counter yourself. There was no information explaining this, and nobody at reception mentioned it when we checked in.
The first time we visited, we sat at our table for around 15 minutes waiting for a waiter. Eventually, a member of the snack bar staff who was cleaning the tables explained to us how the system works.
Whenever you eat something sweet, insects immediately appear — both small and large ones, including bees and flies. The staff did not seem particularly quick to help guests in this situation.
We also experienced overly familiar behaviour from one of the female employees at the pool bar, which we found inappropriate.
Beach
The hotel has its own private beach, but sun loungers are charged separately even for hotel guests. We found this quite surprising.
Overall impression
We got the impression that the hotel is primarily aimed at German- and English-speaking guests. Most information is provided only in English or German, and the TV channels in the room are also only in German and English.
Overall, after six days we were left with the impression that the hotel does not fully live up to the standard we would expect from a 4-star property.
For a hotel of this category, we expected better housekeeping, better-maintained rooms, more variety in the food and a more comfortable and welcoming approach towards guests.
We are attaching photos of the balloons found behind the armchair, the pictures attached with large bolts and the incomplete set of glasses.
