Hotels with pool on first line in Kos

The sea was lovely and warm, but the pool was bracing!!! We had a room with a jacuzzi, which was perfect for enjoying after a day out, looking over to Kastri Island and Nisyros

The Location is at the top of a hill, so be prepared! We personally enjoyed the walk to the beach through the little farm, but I can imagine at the height of summer, may be very hot/tiring! We hired a car, which allowed us to drive around to a number of other walks and beaches, and whilst the weather was not perfect for sunbathing, it was great for walking

The thing that made this hotel was the service of the staff, who were all outstanding- for the Waitresses at the restaurant, to Dimitris in the bar, and the reception staff/porters, we were made to feel welcome

We arrived late due to our flight being delayed, but from that moment onwards it was the staff that shone throughout our holiday. Check in was quick, courteous & our bags quickly dispatched to our room

We were there to celebrate a special birthday, and the atmosphere allowed us to thoroughly relax and enjoy the luxury of a la carte dining. Thank you to all the staff for this experience

It was a pleasant surprise to see a meal of cold meats, cheese & salad awaiting us. The following morning at breakfast we meet the fabulous group of girls serving in the restaurant

The room was spotless and cozy, and I really enjoyed relaxing on the sunbeds by the beach, listening to the waves. Such a peaceful place to unwind. I’d love to come back one day!

We liked the beach with sunbeds both on the sand and in the natural shade on the grass under pine trees. We didn't use the swimming pool, beach bar, or the massage service, but other people enjoyed it

Compared to reviews from previous years, the WiFi was available everywhere (and I think even on the beach) and the room air condition was free this year

A small hotel with a calm atmosphere. The quality is slightly above the Greek 3-star standard. Everything is clean and quite working. Food is not hedonistic, but it is fresh and varies every day

every 45 minutes and it stops just in front of the hotel. Since the packed drinking water is quite expensive in the hotel, a small shopping trip pays of. The staff is friendly and helpful

Since all rooms are double rooms, you will hardly ever encounter families with small children here. The nearest shop is 2 km away, but you can use a bus going to the Kos town approx

Just returned home from this lovely little place. The most stunning grounds and the sea so blue. The pools are lovely and quiet and not a sunbed war in sight. Staff are so lovely and very accomadating

There is a bus just outside reception to take you into Kardamena, which is a must. No good for kids, they would be bored unless they are very little, and just happy with pools and the sea

Loved the managed beach and the excellent dinner

If I could give more stars I would , I can not fault this hotel , it's like it's run by a family , so clean all staff are excellent, they try to learn your names , there all super friendly ,food is supper, different every day , good choice , the rooms cleaned everyday , towels fresh , would defo go back , in fact we started looking for next year , Hope it does not change Many thanks

If there was a higher score we’d rate it higher,the hotel was lovely,food great,rooms,great comfortable and clean. A nice quiet location but a bus stop at the entrance takes you to kardamena for €2

The room was spacious, and although not full of features, it suited us perfectly. We stayed half board and food quantity was not lots, like some hotels, but for sure made up for in quality

Only slightly negative thing we could say is that we wished they’d keep the pool open after 7pm, would be nice to go for a nighttime dip

21st July 2025 & 13th October 2025 I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the wonderful Gaia Gardens Hotel not once, but twice this year – first in July with my two teenage daughters (aged 14 and 16), and again in October as a solo traveller

The restaurant was another highlight: fresh, flavourful food with plenty of choice, served in a relaxed and friendly setting. Every meal felt like it was made with love

Our room was fabulous – recently renovated, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and blissfully quiet. It was the perfect retreat after days spent exploring or relaxing

It was my sisters birthday whilst she way staying at Gaia gardens and I wanted to see if the hotel could arrange a small surprise for her as I was back in the UK

From the moment we arrived, Gaia Gardens felt less like a hotel and more like a loving home tucked away in paradise

From the hotel to the other end of the bay where there are a few more bars and restaurants is a good walk of about twenty mins if you are slow , walking on the sea front there is not for the disabled choose the main road

Breakfast was plenty full , loads of choice , ok you have to wait for the toaster , another one would make it easier but it is Greece and that’s fine ! I love Kefalos it’s quiet, peaceful, no rowdy gangs, just good restaurants and a few good bars nearby

All the staff in hotel were pleasant, the young man on reception tried his best to understand me but I guess he is learning but non the less he was very nice

There are sun beds belonging to the hotel just down a few steep steps, never crowded always got some with like minded book worms

I’ve traveled extensively all over Greece for the last thirty years and as I said at the beginning I’ve BOOKED AGAIN!

I was recently contacted from EasyJet for me to note the reviews on here which has prompted me to write mine

nice and clean hotel. the room space is more than enough. the pool bar is also good. the breakfast was better than most of the hotels in Greece.

We stayed here first and last night of our holiday before taking the ferry to get to and from Patmos. Our flight to Kos was delayed 2 1/2hours so it was gone 11. 00pm before we arrived, so straight up to the room

Rooms are tired and there's 6a lot of noise from the street. But breakfast is great, and the rooftop pool terrace was the best!

The rooms are very comfortable, equipped with everything you need, excellent bathroom with roomy shower. Breakfast is more than adequate and sets you up nicely for that day, and the resident parrot is very entertaining

We only stayed here for one night as we were travelling the next day. Room 200 was for 3 people and was very comfortable and clean with free water in the fridge. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and beanbag loungers

We had half board so we had breakfast at the hotel which was excellent. For lunch or dinner we had to eat down near the beach at a restaurant which the hotel must of had agreement

We were there in September 2014 and really enjoyed it. The staff was very helpful and polite. The food was varied and delicious. There was a special pool for kids. The water park wasn't huge, but it was still great!

Most of the staff were incredibly nice and helpful. A few were a bit frosty and the lifeguards were tyrants. Not being able to jump into pools at a family resort is wild

The rooms were spotless and the facilities in the rooms were amazing. The food, for an all inclusive hotel, was great. Loads of options and great choice for kids

All very tasty and the snack bars throughout the day were all class. All the pools were great, apart from the no jumping in rule and the height rule on the slides (1

My one complaint which would warrant losing half a star is that the indoor games for kids (pool, air hockey etc) required paying a euro or two

For an all inclusive I think this is pretty poor and is something that would for me set apart a 4 star and 5 star hotel. All in all would highly recommend and would definitely go again

They have sunbeds and umbrellas around the pool. Have a poolside bar, food was very nice and prices are good. Good choice of breakfast on buffet. Short walk to the beach, supermarket and other restaurants

Good choice for breakfast which was always being replenished and tables cleaned. Always plenty of sunbeds at the pool, all times of day with large clean pool

I stayed in 1 bedroom apartment. Had a fridge, hob top, kettle and utensils etc. There is a balcony off the bedroom. Table & chairs & washing line. Large swimming pool which was very clean

Within swimming distance of Saint Stefanos beach is the renowned island of Kastri which boasts the church of Saint Nicolas where many visitors and locals alike choose to get married

Chrysoula Hotel based in the picturesque resort of Kefalos on Kos Island. The island of Kos is located in the Aegean Sea and is one of the most beautiful islands of Greece

Chrysoula Hotel itself is based in Kefalos Bay and it is just a short walk of 200 metres to the stunning sand and shingle beach of Saint Stefanos

Great hotel for family! Our room was big and plenty of space for all our things the location is perfect very close to the beach and no too far from town; plenty of shops and taverna right by it! The staff is a great addiction to the place Artemis in reception and Floriana the Hsk supervisor they were amazing nothing was too much trouble form them and always with a smile; the pool area is tranquil and...

Very lovely people work here, a lovely lady welcomed us and they had our room ready early which was amazing, great location, just off of the beach that has bars and sun beds, 10min walk to kos town!

Since we love mylos beach, we chose this location because of easy transportation. the location of the hotel is great

We booked this hotel on our trip to Kos, for one night before a week-long sailing trip, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice clean apartment, great service, friendly and smiling staff

Nothing is a problem for them, I can highly recommend it, and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Kos

30pm, we was told yes that’s done you can pay on the day, the night before we went to pay and they said come back in morning went back in the morning and told there wasn’t a room available 🙄 no luggage storage it’s just left in the foyer and reception keep an eye on it, so not safe we were offered the office until 4pm but again not safe so had to carry our valuables around all day, not the hotels fault...

Nice bar area close to the pool which served very nice food and all the usual drinks. Plenty of sunbeds/umbrellas for everyone. Literally a few footsteps from the beach/sea

We stayed at Mammis Beach Hotel and were absolutely delighted! Great location: just a couple of minutes to the beach. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious. The room was clean and cozy, with a sea view

Stayed at this hotel for a few days. Calm place right by the sea, we really liked. Room was simple,but clean, staff friendly and easy to talk. Beach is just in front, and sunsets from restaurant were really good

We’ll definitely come back and recommend it to friends! Excellent value for money

It's great to be able to relax in such a wonderful place. The main advantage, in my opinion, is that there is a swimming pool and the beach is nearby. That's great!

Very clean pool, nice breakfast, and very close to the airport (10 min drive). The atmosphere is very traditional and friendly. The only small thing is the 15-20 minute walk to the main town, but it's very peaceful here

The beds are comfortable and clean with the best pillows for a good night's sleep. There is a snack bar with very reasonable drinks and lunch options. The pool area is clean with plenty of sunbeds and a large deep pool

The pool is loveley but never many people using it with always sunbeds available

This is a really relaxing laid back hotel, great views of the beach and chapel, very comfy beds and very clean. The staff a friendly and chatty, the food is lovely and plentiful with drinks in a chilled glass

Prices are good except for the sunloungers and umberella on the beach and they tend to charge for 2 + an umberella even if your on your own and dont want the parasol !

I have to say Chrisoula did her best to make things better but the fact is that this hotel needs desperately upgrading a lot and I said this so no surprise and the family know this but alas I feel this won’t happen which is a shame as it is potentially very good with money spent and it is in a good spot with a nice pool and surroundings

But we went there every day for lunch and drinks ! Chris and her son nic were so helpful Looked forward to seeing them again ! If ever this hotel comes up as a package we will definitely stay there! Every thing about it was good location right on the beach 🏖️ it was very clean ! Food good massive portions

Just back from a 5 night stay. Excellent sevice and very clean hotel. Rooms cleaned daily, towels every 2 days. Fridge and kettle, air-conditioning on request for a fee and safe. Bar snacks spot on and alcohol

We had initially arrived at the hotel at 2am, tired and hungry from travelling, and the receptionist had offered to kindly help us out by ordering some tasty food to the hotel

The location of the hotel is amazing because you are very close to the town centre and you have 3 markets that are very close to the hotel

Very friendly staff and a great family establishment. The cleaners tidied our rooms daily and made sure we had fresh towels to use

The Personnel was very nice, the manager of the hotel Dimitris is a really nice person and also other personnel is very helpful

Buffet breakfast but something diffrence every morning. Thanks to the management and staff for a lovely break

You can enjoy a great swim in the pool, and the sea is also within walking distance. The breakfast is good, with yogurt, fruit, cake, drinks, bread, and toppings like cheese, cold cuts, and jam

Great pool and location is a very short walk to the beach (down a footpath to the left of the building and a few yards down the road), here is is a great supermarket and many tavernas and the long and nice beach

Kettle and normal size fridge in the room, but you're asked not to eat and drink in the hotel room as they have a pool bar, although it wasn't open in the beginning of May. Nice swimming pool and also a paddling pool

Great family welcome. Clean rooms with several sheet and towel changes in the week. Beside restaurants bars and supermarket and a very shirt walk to the beach. A lovely spot and I totally recommend staying here

Great family-run hotel with pool, pool bar and lounge bar. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. 90% of the guests are repeat customers and that says it all. Can't recommend it highly enough.

A friendly family run hotel just a short walk from the beach, in a quiet area. Rooms are basic but very clean. All have balconies, air-conditioning /heater

Stunning views, food is cooked very well. Got a trendy vibe and pleasant friendly staff. Nice pool to the rear for those staying here.

Great food, excellent service. The staff is warm and welcoming. The view from the tables makes Sydney the best place to grab your lunch, dinner or favourite drink. 💯 recommend!

Easily the best meals we had in Kefalos. The service was superb and the food really was something else. Both the grilled Octopus (with bacon jam) and Vegan Burger were some of best food we have ever eaten

Came twice during our week to Kos, amazing cocktails but on the slightly higher side for Kefalos but very very good. Had the buffalo burger both times and quiet possibly one of the best burgers I've ever had

Sydney bar & grill was just fantastic. The food was amazing the service and staff are so friendly and even got to use the shishas which was a nice treat indeed! Amazing music choices too

I highly recommend this bar/restaurant for a night out. You can even stay there which i found out on my last evening of the holiday

The garden is lovely around the pool, got very busy round by the pool so its worth saving a bed when you go for breakfast which is 7 to 10. The pool bar and snacks are very reasonable but again can get busy

Good hotel, great versatile tasty food. Great location, 100 m away from sea. 20 min walk from a city center. Rooms are little dated, but clean, and big enough

Mixed bag this one,the hotel is clean and presentable but don't expect 4 star luxury because it isn't. Pool area is nice as is all communal areas,pool doesn't open until 10 which is far too late given the temperature

Only one thing I didn't like - tough mattresses So it is a good choice for a reasonable price

Location is about a 20 minute pleasant walk into Kos town,there is a bus stop outside but we found the buses unreliable. Decent enough beach right outside the hotel as well as a small supermarket

We are here for 7 nights, actually the second day. Room furniture is a bit old but everything works. Staff is very kind, professional and helpful. Especially the receptionist Irene, very kind and helpful person

Good pool area plenty of sunbeds and drinks and snacks are reasonably priced. Safe and air-conditioning you will need to pay for separately. Definitely recommend and will definitely stay again 👌 👍 🙂

In a quiet location but only 3 minutes walk to beach and centre. Pool area spacious with a generous sized pool, plenty of sunbeds never crowded and pool bar snacks and drinks were good and priced well

Pool area reasonably sized and plenty of sunbeds. Great location with a short stroll to the centre. Another great holiday would recommend

They don’t pretend to be anything they are not. Yes it’s a 2 star hotel but it is cleaned every day and nothing is too much trouble. The pool has a great atmosphere and you are not being over charged for drinks and food

the pool bar food is cooked fresh on ordering, you are always greeted with courtesy and a smile. would and will recommend to family and friends

) location is 2 mins from all the shops-bars-beach. Take time to speak to Pedros and his mum you will find them kind and accommodating

If you are seeking for the original greek hospitality this is the place! The rooms are very nice and clean. You are provided with everything you need: clean sheets every two days and extra towels for the beach 🏖️

I love the place! Great hosts, delicious breakfast, quiet location aybe not the first line from shoreline though no cars at night) and everything you may need for a good price

The best accomodation in Kefalos, probably in all of Kos island. Barbara is one of the best guests I've had so far, very nice and welcoming

It's a family business and you feel instantly the warmth and hospitality, something you can not experience at the big fancy hotels

It's quiet and suitable for families with or without children. The breakfast buffet has a big variety for everyone's taste

Great room. Great garden. Great breakfast. We were very happy with our stay at Kos Island Studios.

Cheap and ok. The problem is the food :/ nice pool and very clean.

Myself and my fiance stayed here for 10 nights. The food was really nice despite reviews and all of the staff were so friendly. About a 25/30 minute walk from the Kos town, so not ridiculously out of the way, but quiet

The bar was always open though everyday and night with music. Even the reception staff were so nice and welcoming. This hotel is not just 5 stars to us but 100. Fantastic hotel and holiday and cannot wait to return

We got a penalty ticket (completely unrelated to the hotel) and the staff were so helpful with helping us to translate it, how we can pay it and showing us where on Google maps

They’re closing for the season today, but not once did we feel rushed out of the hotel

Although the hotel is rated at 3 star, we found the hotel to be fantastic. The superior room was very clean and spacious with a good balcony and view of the sea

We had a perfect stay at this lovely hotel. A lovely quiet beach is just steps away from the rooms and it is so peaceful yet only a short walk into Kardamena for some great restaurants and shops, car hire, etc

The room facilities in the kitchen/dining area (fridge, small electric hob, kettle, coffee machine) and bathroom (great local soap and toiletry products) were exactly what we needed

The location right on the crystal clear Aegean Sea is just as fantastic as the beautiful nature, the wonderful garden, the comfortable apartments with great sea view and the very nice and hospitable owner Nikos

The apartment was spacious, clean and traditional, with a large double bed in the bedroom, and a sofa bed in the living room/kitchen area. The bathroom had a bath with shower attachment, toilet, sink and hair-drier

Our apartment was on the ground floor, which we had asked for, and the sliding doors in the bedroom were leading onto a private terrace with a table and chairs, from where we could overlook the beautiful, well kept garden with its palm trees, and the sea beyond

The hotel beach is literally right in front (20-second walk) and we loved its convenience! The water is very clear and clean, and we barely saw people in the water and most of the time it was all for us

Incredibly convenient beach access right next to the hotel. Breakfast has an excellent variety of dishes and is great value for its price point. Staff was helpful throughout the stay and the room was cleaned every day

Everything was perfect! The food is very nice, the rooms are spacious and very clean! The sun beds are really comfortable and the hotel is next to the beach! I recommend it!!

Highly recommended for those looking to enjoy the nearby beach

Very nice stuff!!! Free room upgrade.20 meters from the beach.Polish speaking Greek waiter.

Good localization near the beach and very nice customer service

Great place, very nice and clean room, reception is on the other side of the srteat, but i like that you can even play pingpong there ;))
