Kavos out of season was really nice, very quiet. The hotel was good, no entertainment (except 1 night of Greek dancing). Pool was lovely, room large and clean. The food was good but repeatative, we ate out a couple of nights later in the week. Good breakfast. What made the holiday were the people, staff at the hotel, and in the bars were all so friendly and helpful....would recommend

“We expected worse from the other reviews”

Me and my friends stayed for one week towards the end of the season which may explain why we didn't have the problems that other young people have mentioned. firstly the night porter, Costas. When checking in he served us and we weren't surprise by his stern tone and strict instructions (as the other reviews mentioned him). but he was friendly enough and was simply explaining that its a hotel for families and they just ask for respect in the evenings. each night when leaving at midnight and returning at around 4am we walked past him silently and there were never any problems. he greeted us with a thumbs up or a nod and a smile and he was always respectful as were we. so for any young people staying, as long as you are quiet and respectful you won't have any problems, and if you are concerned about the other reviews I imagine they weren't telling the whole story because I can't image Costas would be flipping out for no reason, he is simply doing his job and clearly doing it well. Yes you do have to pay a 50 euro deposit but as I said earlier if you are respectful then you will probably get it all back with no problems. secondly the room itself. not the best. shower was abysmal and flooded the bathroom each day. the beds however were nice enough and the room was spacious. a lot of reviews have said the towels weren't cleaned at all. if you read the instructions, terms and conditions you will see that they only wash them if you leave them in a pile in the corner. so, keep this in mind when you come if you want fresh towels each day. the pool was nice enough and the location was also perfect. the food was good enough for the cost. it was not cold every morning despite some other reviews that stated everything was cold. and dinner always had a good variety of food and plenty of options. lastly the staff was lovely. the older gentleman behind the bar was always friendly and as a group we all loved his service. the staff at reception were also lovely and gave us a free dinner on the last day while we were waiting for our taxi. in my opinion apart from the state of the bathroom and also the fact that they will try and catch you out to take your deposit as long as you read the terms and conditions and the instruction sheet in the hotel room you will not have any problems as it is no different to any standard hotel apart from being a good 5 minutes from about 10 different bars, several clubs and a lovely beach. I can recommend this hotel to other people of all ages as long as you are respectful and read the instructions given to you as well as the terms and conditions you will have a pleasant experience of Kavos.

There is some good and bad points.... Good points: Firstly check in was smooth and we was in our room within 5 minutes Hotel very quiet Pool area food size and enough sunbeds Friendly staff Few pool tables and large TV Bad points: Food was average , described as a family hotel yet no choices for children, chips on 1 night only. Food is repetitive and bland out of a 7 night holiday we ate out for 4. Cleaners kept coming in when we requested twice that we wanted every other day! And didn't even change linen just a quick mop. Weird rules that we are not allowed to bring food or drink into the hotel ( on a non all inclusive hotel) they want you to buy from their hotel No entertainment whatsoever only greek night once a week. It was an OK stay but few things could of made this so much better.

“Not impressed ”

Was little disappointed from the start. In reception lots of people waiting to check in, but only one member of staff working. Small reception, not many people could get inside. Rooms big and clean, the ladies that came and cleaned your room, change towels etc are the nicest of staff members. In the main bar grumpy man, only friendly with does who gave him tips. Everything would be OK, I didn't expect nothing amazing , but the food was the worst part of our holiday. I was with my mother. We are not fussy about food, but in the hotel the food wasn't very good. Every day the same, not much to choose from. Meals that should be served hot, were cold and not very nice. If you want to try Greek kitchen, forgot about, nothing there was traditional Greek food. My mother after eating in the restaurant had upset stomach. We decided to eat in town instead. The local coffee shops had much better food and freshly made. Overall nice holiday, but I wouldn't go back.
