"Stunning property. The renovation of the old mill is expertly done. The rooms are stunning and very thoughtfully put together. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Stunning views across Kefalos bay. Recommend you have a car or scooter. The hotel can help. They will help with taxis to the local town to a connected restaurant called Mylotopi which is an excellent place. Tony who managed the hotel is so helpful. A super hardworking guy who’s always available to help. Nothing too much trouble. He really helped us settle in and relax."

Astir Odysseus Kos Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We have just returned from a 14-night half-board holiday at the Astir Odysseus Kos Resort & Spa and had an absolutely lovely, relaxing holiday. The hotel is beautiful, impeccably clean and very impressively laid out with a choice of many swimming pools or the sandy beach. Our room (number 531) was very nicely furnished with an excellent view of the Aegean Sea from our veranda and was kept pristinely clean by housekeeping. The quality and variation of food for breakfast and in the evening at the Achilles Restaurant was exceptional with different “themed food” nights. All of the hotel staff was excellent, very friendly, professional, helpful, cheerful and always with a smile on their faces. We'd like thank all of the reception staff for their invaluable help and a special huge thank you to all of the restaurant staff, especially “high five” Nikos, for making our dining experience wonderful. We’d also like to thank Maria, Ludmila & Lina for the excellent Neck & Back treatments in the Spa. Finally, we’d also like to add a special massive thank you to all of the animation team, especially Evie, Jess, Lauren & Raquel, not just for the fantastic shows, but also for being the professional, friendly, cheerful, easy to talk to young ladies that made our holiday an unforgettable experience. For us, this was the perfect Greek holiday."
