Pool

Our original hotel closed so easyjet offered Eurovillage as an alternative. We almost didn't come because of the bad reviews but decided to take a chance for some winter sun. I'm really glad we did, it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. 

Agree with the tedious Ipad check-in situation. It's a bit long winded but the golf cart to your room was a nice touch. Got a little packed lunch each on arrival at night which consisted of a cheese & ham roll, an apple, a piece of cake and a bottle of water.

Our room was quite old and basic. Air con took a while to get going but kept the room cool enough for us. Had a fridge in the room but nothing else. Had a shower over the bath. Water was always hot with good pressure. Pool towels provided also. Room was cleaned and towels replaced every couple of days.

Pool is huge but bit chilly. Was a struggle to get in. I've never got up early to put a towel on a lounger in my life. The days we stayed at the pool we got loungers no problem around 10/11 am. Might be different in the summer months.

Food is ok. Not great, not terrible, just ok. Lots of lovely fresh salad, fruit and bread. Some of the main hot choices were questionable. Always got basic pasta and chips to fall back on. Not a lot of desserts. Ice cream always available. Not a lot of choice for kids. Was very monotonous- we ate out several times. There are pork gyros at the pool bar from 12.30 - 2.30. They look good but the pork was very fatty and most of it went in the bin. Someone asked for chips one day and were told no which I thought was bizarre considering they have chips to put on the gyros. 

We did the 3 day boat trip from Kos harbour. Lots of boats to choose from. We picked the Katarina. Was a great day with a nice lunch on board. Kalymnos was stunning. The hotel runs a bus to kos everyday at 10.20am. You have to book it the night before. There is a bus stop in mastichari which is a 15 min walk along a sandy path. The bus is usually very busy. There is a taxi rank there also. Gorgeous little restaurants as you first enter mastichari. If you walk left along the beach you will come to Dolphin Bay. They do the most potent cocktails I've ever tasted. Can watch the absolutely gorgeous sunsets from here. 

There are cats everywhere which we don't mind as we love them and have a cat. They're all very friendly but will steal your sun lounger when you're not looking.

Entertainment was probably the poorest I've experienced in a hotel and doesn't last very long. Some singing, some greek dancing. Was a bit chilly at night so take a jacket.

Overall, the hotel was fine for a cheap week of winter sun but I'm not sure it's worthy of 4 stars. We all enjoyed it regardless.

Honest Review!

There are pros and cons to this hotel, it is clean, the rooms are modern, I found the beds comfy and some of the staff are brilliant. The food is below average all-inclusive food, some of the staff don't realize they are in the service sector & can't be bothered serving you, don't even try to ask for ice cream are the pool bar, we were told not to come back for ice cream as we asked for 5 ice creams. They expect tips to give good service rather than give good service to get tips. We were a party of 9 with 5 children. The maids are friendly but overworked, one turned up at 9.30 pm to clean the room. There isn't a lot for children, a kids club some days and a 20-minute mini disco every other day, also not a lot the children would eat. The cups are tiny, 2 mouthfuls, which causes large queues at the bars. Contradictory to the website the pools are saltwater and not freshwater and are freezing (it was October, so maybe ok in summer) The dining staff were amazing, helpful, and friendly. It’s right on the beach which is lovely.

This hotel is suitable for adults. While it has some issues, overall, it offers a good experience.

Pros~
Got to the hotel around about 10/11ish at night and although the restaurant wasn’t open gave us a little package with some fruits and chocolate cake and a sandwich
Pool wasn’t too deep and was big enough for everyone to have their own space 
Stayed in a windmill house and it was soo quieter than the rest of the complex
Easy to book excursions through the hotel 
Food was average
Loved the entertainment programme of an evening, for such a small team they do try their best 
Plenty of beds around just hard to find some that are together so you do end up having to move them around a bit
Nice and clean complex
 
Cons~ 
Italian themed restaurant is basically the same as the buffet just quieter 
Rocks in the sea, made it hard to go out and swim without stepping on a rock 
Maid didn’t clean the room properly, she only came around twice to clean the room during the week stay we had, beds were always made. Bathroom was never cleaned and only the bathroom floor was swept. This lead us to having ants in our room majority of the time we was there for, reported it to staff twice and didn’t take any action 
Downstairs light wasn’t working when we arrived, did get fixed when we reported it but considering we paid around £200-£300 extra for the room I’m expecting to have a light downstairs. 
Not many vegetarian options available- I had food poisoning from a nearby restaurant in the local town (NOT THE HOTEL) but decided I didn’t want to risk it and eat meat again, the only thing I could eat was chips and salad because I made that choice which made this holiday a downfall
On the first day we got there, we got pressured into buying some tops from the hotel, wouldn’t take no for an answer and kept pestering us for the money whenever we’d be trying to have a relaxing holiday!  
We got told that bottled water wasn’t included in the all inclusive package but the day before got given it whenever we pleased. Considering I had food poisoning and couldn’t even get a bottle of water, really put me off the hotel unfortunately 
 
Conclusion~ 
This is a lovely hotel and great if you just want to relax and do some excursions (normally the hotel is cheaper than booking through your local travel agent) would only go back to the hotel if it was the right price, wouldn’t pay how much I paid again for this hotel.

Peaceful and relaxing resort, but needs a lot of work, definitely not a 4 star hotel

A very friendly hotel and very clean. Food was very repetitive which is expected being all inclusive but would be a great idea if they could fluctuate from one week to another. If you want pork, chicken or veal literally every night then great. Rooms varied a great deal with some much more modern than others. Both bars were great for a selection of spirits etc and cocktails and once the bar staff get to know you they are brilliant. Maria, Claire etc from reception were extremely helpful and friendly.
Overall holiday was very enjoyable.

Happy bunny

This hotel is not worth 4 and 1/2 stars maybe 3 
Me and my mam have just got home from this hotel, was a lovely hotel to look at and the beach is beautiful and the location is not too bad, we had a villa with 4 balcony’s and 2 bedrooms it was beautiful but was only cleaned once ln 6 days. The hotel has its down fall such as food was alway cold the restaurant opened at 6 and even if you got there at 5 past it was still cold, the bar staff were all miserable and rude,reception were pretty hopeless to as they told tell you things you need to know. We arrived to the hotel at 1pm to be told our room wouldn’t be ready till 3 to go for lunch and this all she Diddnt tell us where to go or anything, when booking bus trip to KOS they told you when  to see the man but it was always a different time everyday and he would never be there. As for the food the restaurant  you can book os no better we asked to be booked in on the Tuesday and the only day we could get in was the day we went home what was no good but it was no better than the main restaurant all still cold. They don’t tell you on the website after 11 0clock you have to pay for all your drinks even coffee.
Over all I had a lovely holiday with my mam as we walked to the village from the beach bar what took around 15 minutes and went out for tea. I recommend hiring quad bikes from the place over the road and it was only €50 all day. Food is mastachari is amazing so many lovely places to get food and drinks. 
The man that dose the entertainment around the pool was so lovely hats off to him!!
I recommit the horizon on the town/ village next to it.
