Atlantica Beach Resort Kos

A very pleasant hotel for families with children. Great pools and a large, two-level paddling pool. Delicious food. Convenient location. Unfortunately, the main restaurant is very crowded during peak season. Large hotel, lots of walking. A wide selection of snacks between meals: burgers, pizza, kebabs, pasta. We recommend the a la carte restaurants. The service is very friendly and professional, especially Zorbina from the Italian restaurant – always friendly, smiling, and competent!

We had a fantastic relaxing holiday. This is a beautiful hotel and quiet location, built into the coast with no road between hotel or the sea. It was stunning. Lovely landscaped gardens. A large pool with not overwhelming entertainment and a separate adults only pool was a great luxury to have (wish smokers were corralled into a smoking area though). The beach was sandy, loads of sunbeds and it was easy to swim in the sea. Really hard working, courteous and helpful staff throughout - thank you all. It seemed a really well managed hotel to us. We went late October so it was peaceful and quiet. The main buffet restaurant was great, so much choice for every meal. We booked the other restaurants with no problem too. Yes we could find a couple of minor gripes (bathroom in our older room was annoyingly small ) but - nothing to whinge about. For sun, relaxation, swimming, sport, beach time and unpretentious but tasty food, this was ideal. Thank you everyone at Atlantica.

The room was very nice, the bed was comfy and the sea view was fantastic. The hotel itself is extremely clean. The shower didn’t drain very quickly so the bathroom would flood unless we laid down all the beach towels. You can always find something to eat but the buffet food wasn’t great, mostly pork or chicken thigh in a salty sauce, so we ended up trying the three a la carte restaurants for more variety. I’d definitely recommend doing the same, but a heads-up, the tomato pasta at the “Greek” restaurant was excellent the first time but tasted like the buffet’s cheap sauce the second time. As an all-inclusive resort, the cocktails were very disappointing. The menu lists premium ingredients for drinks like piña coladas, mojitos, and amaretto sours, but the drinks are never actually made that way. The piña coladas had no coconut cream, the mojitos had no lime or mint, and the amaretto sours had no proper lemon juice or bitters—just a generic lemon-flavoured drink. When we asked staff for the missing ingredients, it was often met with a laugh or snort, as if they knew they never had them. It felt like a cost-cutting measure to save on ingredients while still giving the impression of a premium cocktail. I also questioned the alcohol content since I never felt even slightly tipsy despite drinking throughout the day. The beer was good though. Most of the staff were friendly and the entertainment was good however in the evening queues for drinks were frustrating and felt like they might be intentionally slow to limit consumption. Overall it was a lovely stay for the room, view and cleanliness, but the food, drinks, and some service aspects of the all-inclusive package could definitely be improved.

The hotel and facilities provided a perfect relaxing holiday. The choice of sea and pool really helps, whilst the staff are really welcoming.

A hotel with a maximum of three stars — and that’s already a very generous rating. As soon as we checked in, we were greeted with an unpleasant surprise: a €150 tourist tax. The travel agency never told us about it; maybe it was written somewhere, but there was no prior information from the agents. First of all, the place is filthy. The rooms are old, the walls are badly painted, the tiles are rusty, and the bathtub is covered in mold and mildew. But the worst part of all is that under the all-inclusive plan, the minibar is completely empty, and we only get bottled water every other day! Sure, some people drink tap water, but that doesn’t sit well with everyone’s stomach. I got food poisoning from some awful canteen food, but luckily it only lasted two days — so that’s a success, I guess! Oh, and about the so-called à la carte restaurants: you can go there once as part of the all-inclusive package, but there are no free tables for a whole week. You can only make a reservation from a screen at the hotel reception, which nobody bothers to inform you about ;) As for the alcohol — it’s poured from unlabelled bottles, so who knows what’s actually in there. Regarding the “toilet situation,” used toilet paper has to be thrown into the trash bin. Maybe that’s why the entire hotel smells so bad. We happened to be there during a wedding that took place in the hotel restaurant. Around 10 PM, fireworks started going off — if we hadn’t seen the bride and the celebration from afar, we would’ve thought someone was shooting on the hotel grounds. The explosions were so loud, right in the hotel courtyard, and since there was no information whatsoever, people panicked, ran out of their rooms, and some even cried from fear. The staff? No reaction at all. People stayed locked in their rooms until morning, too scared to go to the bar or anywhere else in the hotel. Overall, the only nice thing is the view — if you have a sea-view room. Without that, it would be a disaster. The beach is close, right by the hotel, which is convenient, but it’s also filthy and neglected. The staff is extremely rude. That’s it. I do not recommend this hotel.
