Sovereign Beach Hotel

We stayed here for 9 nights and had a great time. The hotel was clean, the setting was like a small village and kept very tidy. The entertainment team were brilliant with all the children at the hotel and made an effort to walk around and speak with families and couples which I thought was a nice touch and created that friendly environment. The food here was varied with theme nights, some better than others but vegan and gluten free options available. Again all the restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly. Evening entertainment was great for the kids and some of the shows such as the acrobat display, the Spider-Man (contortionist) were really good to see and Enzo was always entertaining. There is a shuttle bus that runs from the hotel twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening and is a free service, but Kardamena is only 25-30 minutes away should you choose to walk. Sunbeds around the pool were never an issue to get but after 9am they filled quickly as the pool and bar opens at 10am. They had various rooms albeit basic wooden furniture but clean and spacious and the beds were comfy, some had swim up rooms which were nice if you wanted to relax in the mornings or late afternoon, some had jacuzzis and they also had bungalow rooms on the far side of the resort which we stayed in with a swim up room . All the pools are saltwater and not heated as such but not too cold that you didn’t want to get in. Don’t forget that a room tax is charged on arrival and this is payable in cash (euros) and they have an ATM in the reception if needed. A visit to Paradise beach to see the jacuzzi effect bubbles caused by natural volcanic gases is worth seeing and the water sports here were cheaper than everywhere else. There is also a Go Carting track close by which offer free pick up and drop off, and good for the kids and adults if you want to fill an hour or two during your day. Unfortunately whilst we were there a guest had a cardiac arrest whilst in the pool, the lifeguard (Angelo) was quick to react to get him out the water once a guest had shouted for help and even with guests and staff members trying their upmost to help the guest with CPR he sadly passed away. RIP All in all a lovely break and would definitely go back again.

We had a wonderful vacation at Sovereign Beach Hotel in Kos! The Resort is big but need some renovation at some part. The hotel was clean and comfortable, the food was delicious with plenty of choices, and the staff in Resto Ruchel, Ricardo ,in Buffet Edna in Taverna Michael and all other staff, the whole team in Resto were friendly and welcoming. They doing a great Job

An excellent holiday overall. Nothing immediately next to hotel so it didn’t feel crowded. The views of the mountains is stunning. Lovely to be able to use the pool and beach and Kardamena a 15 minute walk. Generally enough sunbeds to go around, both by pool and on beach; still a lot of towels on beds early. Pool area nice with bar, pool toilets need cleaning a bit more. The entertainment team is amazing, various activities to get involved in if you want to during the day. Evening entertainment varied, we were not happy to have to pay €5 for a bingo ticket though as entertainment is advertised on Jet2 as included. €1 is maybe acceptable considering the prize is just a bit of tourist tat. We had a family room for 4 and a double for 2 people, the exact same storage in both which was not really enough for 4. Rooms were cleaned daily and spotless. Nice shower and comfy beds. Air con probably a bit old and very noisy and WiFi non existent in one of the rooms. WiFi was generally hit and miss around the whole hotel. The food was excellent, so much choice and delicious. There is a pizza and pasta station every lunch and dinner, freshly prepared in front of you with about 4 different sauces on the go. Every service had fish and meat available, again being cooked in front of you. Some more traditional Greek options available as well as plainer dishes. There is one beer on tap which was enjoyed by the beer drinkers, the wine on tap was drinkable. Juices were from a machine and were very sweet, unfortunately these are also used in the cocktails at the bar and so in my opinion I’ve had better drinks at other AI resorts. Bar staff/restaurant staff work very hard, shout out to Captain Armin. Reception staff also very helpful.
