Atlantica Beach Resort Kos

A Lovely Setting, But Disappointing Towards the End There are definitely some positives to this hotel. The grounds are lovely, very well maintained and exceptionally clean, and its location right by the beach is a bonus. However, it’s worth pointing out that the hotel is quite isolated. There are no shops, bars or places of interest within easy walking distance, so you are largely limited to the resort itself and the beach. If you like to get out and explore the surrounding area on foot, this is something to consider. Unfortunately, there were quite a few disappointments that affected our overall experience. The food was a particular let-down. Much of it was barely warm, and the speciality restaurants weren’t anything particularly special either. Another concern was the number of reports of guests suffering from sickness. This was something we became aware of during our stay and, looking at other guest reviews, it appears to be a recurring concern rather than an isolated complaint. We travelled in late October, fully expecting the hotel to still be operating its advertised facilities and entertainment until the end of the season. However, as the week went on, it increasingly felt as though the hotel was winding down around us. The promised ice cream van and speciality coffee van were not available, the pool was extremely cold, and entertainment was virtually non-existent. We had booked with the impression that entertainment and facilities would still be available during our stay, so this was particularly disappointing. By the end of the week, the hotel felt almost deserted, with very few guests remaining. Not all trips and excursions were available . Overall, our feeling was that the hotel should probably have closed a week earlier rather than continuing to take bookings when so many of the advertised facilities and experiences were no longer available. It’s such a shame because the hotel has so much potential. The beautiful grounds, cleanliness and beachfront location are definite positives, but the lack of atmosphere, entertainment, warm food and some of the promised facilities left us disappointed. My advice would be to book this hotel before October if you want to experience it at its best. Based on our late October experience, it felt as though the season was already coming to an end, and we wouldn’t choose to visit so late in the year again.

The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff are great! The food was very average had better food and choices in a 4* hotel. The location is out the way but a very good bus service to the nearby towns. As our first 5* hotel experience it definitely felt like a 4* hotel the room tax is very pricey too. I would visit again as it was end of season but we shall see what the near future holds. The drinks are very weak but taste good

Just got back home today from a lovely week at this resort, we stayed in the residence side and so glad we did. It was so laid back, calm and relaxing. We had breakfast at 8:30-9am every morning and there were plenty of tables to choose from inside and out. Straight after we would choose our sunbed for the day we were almost always first people down, nobody had already reserved sunbed like most holiday resorts. We had the pick of where we wanted to relax for the day. The pool was cold but that’s to be expected in October. Residence pool pool bar was great. Always helpful and friendly staff. Option of many drinks available on all I usivw and selection of scooped ice cream. There is a snack bar here also which we wasn’t fussed on as there were limited options so instead we walked over to the buffet in the main resort for lunch where there were plenty of options. In the evenings we ate at the buffet mostly which was varied and tasted great. Plenty of options and even made gluten free pasta for my two coeliac daughters. We tried the Italian which wasn’t much different to the buffet but a nice change, We also tried the Greek which was really slow service, but this seemed to be only for us. People came and went whilst we were still waiting for our meal. We thought the meal was just ok. My gluten free daughters (coeliac disease) were a little disappointed with what was on offer for them to eat. Although they were offered gluten free pasta they would have liked gluten free bread and pancakes at breakfast but was only given crackers. They did enjoy the eggs and bacon though. Our rooms were lovely comfortable and clean. Cleaners did a great job. Although they missed our room one day. Had to ring reception and request toes as we didn’t have any clean and these arrived within 2 hours of my calls. On two occasions they didn’t give fresh toilet roll when we had ran out and we had to go on search of a nearby cleaners to ask for a roll. But other than that they cleaned the rooms beautifully, Our view wasn’t great from our balconys however our location was fantastic so this made up for it. We were rooms 743 and 644. The mini markets on the resort weren’t well stocked but wondered if this was because we were getting close to the end of season. There wasn’t any nearby supermarkets to walk to either to get bits and bobs. The beach was a short walk from the residence area. About 3-5 minutes depending on how fast you walk. We Saw some beautiful sun rises on the beach. Plenty of sun beds here too. WiFi was available throughout the resort. In the rooms also you cast from your phones so we watched Netflix in the evenings. We caught the bus to Kardamena from the hotel which took about 15 minutes to get there, €2 each person per way, we only needed an hour or so there as there wasn’t a lot to do there. We also went to Kos Town which was a lovely change especially the old town. Which was only a couple of streets but had a lovely feel to it. Was hoping to look at a bit of history in the town but was disappointed with what we saw. A lot of ruins which hadn’t been looked after well. We would recommend this place for a relaxing holiday definitely. But would definitely recommend the residence area over the resort side if you just want to chill out. The reason I have it a 4 /5 is due to us being wanting to do a bit more out and about however there wasn’t a great deal to do.

amazing job from rafael was so relaxing was so comfortable

I had a wonderful massage with Olga at the Atlantic Hotel in Kos. She was very professional, friendly, and attentive, making me feel relaxed and comfortable from the very beginning. The massage was excellent and truly helped me unwind. Olga has a lovely, calming presence and clearly knows what she is doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating massage during their stay. Thank you, Olga, for such a fantastic experience! Eddy
