Kouros Palace Active Lifestyle Hotel in Mastichari

The place and the staff are excellent. Really enjoyed our family time. It's a shame that the place is being renewed and transformed into an adults-only hotel.

Agree with other reviews on star rating. It’s defo not a 5. So saying, the tired rooms, they were cleaned very well. Clean bedding every other day and towels. But the staff make this hotel. They are just all brilliant. The hotel is bricks and mortar, the staff make it! We had a wonderful time. Special thanks to George and Theo in the bar. Billy collecting and keeping every table clean. That all work so hard. The housekeeper very friendly. The restaurant staff, especially Roy. As it was end of season they were allowed to join in with us at the dj night, and it was the best experience. The food, breakfast was the worst meal, it was ok , but very strange to swerve green beans, sprouts, carrots etc. the eggs, beans and bread etc was fine. Quite a good choice every day for evening meal, desserts ver6 very good. The hotel is having a massive refurb now, so issues with rooms should be sorted. One criticism, the last day , the beach bar and pool bar was closed. We were there two weeks , but some people only went for a few days , so that was a little unfair, I understand the hotel was closing the next day but even so?… The location is beautiful. Fab sunsets! But if you like a lot of of life around, this is not for you. Mastichiari is two mile away. We walked it a couple of times . Lovely little village. There is a taverna about 10 mins walk away, which serves good food and drinks. “ dolphin bay” All in all this was a fantastic holiday, , it’s what you make it. The staff were the BEST!

Great hotel. Very good food, plenty to choose from. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are delicious, with local produce, fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. Very friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel. I recommend the bar and the bartender, Theona. Every employee is kind and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Overall good hotel. Room numbers a bit old, but service is good and very good people who works there. Beach close to the hotel and mini market and car rental right in front of hotel is nice benefit either. But for active young couple a bit boring, this hotel more for the family with kids or elder people.

There were upgrades available. They showed up all our options and the additional prices. We chose one of the upgrades. This room was large and comfortable. They remembered our names.

My partner and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at this hotel. We decided to upgrade to a room with a sea view, and we ended up in room 150 which has an absolutely stunning view of the sea and some of the smaller Greek Islands. The sunsets are phenominal! The hotel is situated about 150 yards or so from the beech in an extremely quite location. There aren't any houses or anything nearby, but there is a shop on site and Mastihari is only about 3km walk away. Being so close to the airport is great for the transfer, although you are then situated under the flightpath. However, the flights coming in and going out don't seem to be all that regular, so its not a big issue. The staff are all very friendly, when we checked in, it was quite late, so we had missed dinner (which finished at about 9.30pm) but they had sandwiches and fruit waiting for us, which was a really lovely touch. One slight critique i have is that although the receptionist explained everything when we got there, our tired brains could have benefitted from a guide/booklet to explain a few bits in our room, for example how to log into the WiFi and meal times etc. Wifi was non existent in our room, we only were able to log onto it at the bar, by the pool or otherwise in the main building. So bear in mind that you may need to buy data to be able to use the internet in your room. The room we stayed in was very basic, but the shower was hot and had decent pressure. The shower is set over a corner bath, and my partner did have a bath and said it was nice and hot and didn't take too long to run. The beds are quite firm, and the covers are that satin material that just slides off. The pillows were comfy though and the air con worked so well, we had to turn it off! There was a Nespresso machine with a few pods and a normal kettle woth some teas and coffees, the shop stocks replacements. The restaurant staff were very friendly and the fresh food section is a must if you want something 'Greek' or close to it. Otherwise I would say the selection is a bit bland, I would prefer more traditional Greek cuisine rather than catering to the tourists' palatte, but that's my preference. The salads were all fresh and we had no signs of food poisoning, so that's a win in my book! The bar is well stocked with the all inclusive cocktails being very nice and not too strong. They do charge you for other drinks such as traditional cocktails and branded booze and I would prefer that they set the price lower especially if you've gone all inclusive, the price of a cocktail was about £10ish which I think is steep. The bar also have a very nice selection of cakes and biscuits which you can help yourself too. The main pool area is lovely, very clean, gorgeous veiws. I didnt go up to the smaller pool, because there was no tree cover (and I'm pasty). All in all, the location is what would bring me back here. I would say its more of an adults hotel, I wouldnt bring my kids here because i think they'd be bored, bu

Very enjoyable stay. Our rooms were comfortable, clean and well positioned close to one of the pools. The grounds of the hotel were attractive and well maintained and there was lots of space for guests around the two pools. The nearby beach was also pleasant and the beautiful sunsets were a highlight each evening. There was plenty of choice of food and drink at breakfast, lunch and dinner and the quality was always good. Car hire is the best way to explore other beaches and resorts on the island as the location is a bit removed from the main tourist areas. Excellent value for money.
