We visited Michelangelo for one week at the begining of October. This was our third visit (and we have booked to return next year!) Location- Out of the way from the hustle and bustle. About a 20 minute bus journey from town. Busses seem reliable and come every hour. Rooms- Very comfortable and modern. The bed is massive and super comfy so we slept very well. The shower is also very spacious! The blackout curtains are perfect for if you want to sleep in (and they keep the room cool if you leave them closed in the day). Rooms had good air conditioning in them too. Main Diner- Buffet style with plenty of selection. Most days we were able to try different foods. Food quality is good compared to other all inclusive hotels i have stayed in. There is sometimes a "themed night" so we could try different food from around the world. For fussy eaters they had things like pasta bolognaise, chips etc every night. Always a good selection of bread. The salad selection is always really good too! Mediterraneo restauraunt- We ate here once in the evening and once at breakfast. We both had rib eye steak in the evening which was absolutely delicious! I could not fault anything about our evening meal! The breakfast there was also really nice. The restauraunt is situated next to the infinity pool and had a nice atmosphere on both occasions. Our waiter here was called Mickel. He was extremely friendly and welcoming! The beach- I absolutely love the beach at Michelangelo! The steps down to the beach are surrounded by flowers, which is pretty and smell lovely! They are also great for the wildlife. We often saw little lizards around here and there were usually pollinating insects around the flowers. There was also often a cat chilling around this area, who loves a fuss! It is a pebble beach, and the waves make a lovely noise on them, which was really relaxing. The pebbles do hurt your feet, but you can buy sea shoes from the mini market, or wear flip flops to go in the sea and it is fine. We always managed to get a sunbed on the beach. You can either sit by the bar, which has music on, or sit further away if you don't want the music. The bar has a good selection of drinks. There are also sofas and beanbags to sit on here. The sea is crystal clear and there are loads of fish to look at. We spent lots of time snorkeling. Infinity pool- this is as nice as it looks on the photos! It makes for a perfect backdrop for watching the sunrise. Excellent selection of seating/beds. Always managed to get a sunbed whatever time we turned up (unsure how it is in peak season though). There is a second pool behind this, and you can swim up to the bar. Entertainment- The entertainment was very good. It was not the "rowdy" type which is aimed at kids (although the kids we saw looked to be having fun). We really enjoyed what we saw! Spa- Beautiful, quiet area which smelt very nice! Had an amazing massage on our last day, which I would highly reccomend. Animals- there is a few goats who sometimes explore the grounds. I absolutely loved seeing these around! There are also two cats which are very friendly. I also really enjoyed watching the little birds around the hotel. The staff- All very friendly and welcoming. Some of the staff have been at Michelangelo since our first visit here, three years ago! Maria and another lady kept our room clean during our stay. They were both really nice and always stopped to say hello to us. Nina also deserves a special mention. She is always there opposite reception, and is lovely to have a good chat with. She is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much work for Nina and she did everything she could to make our stay special! Michalis is an excellent hotel manager. He is clearly respected by his team, and very passionate about ensuring guests have the best experience. We left some feedback during our stay, which he listened to and addressed immediately. He obviously cares a lot about this wonderful hotel. Thank you to everybody at Michelangelo! We will see you all next year!

“A relaxing week with stunning views”

The hotel personell is exceptionally kind and the views are stunning. The service has a sort of familiarity which we appreciated greatly. Special thanks to Adronikos, Theodoris, Joanna, Polidoros, Eva, Dimitros and Sotiris ( hope I wrote the names correctly) The food is great and offers diverse options for everyone. If I would have to name something that could be improved it would be the overall decoration of the place, more cozy lights, music and flowers or candles would look good for the place. Anyone looking for a nice and relaxing week by the pool or the ocean would love it here!

This hotel was in a good location, it was clean, great infinity pool and relaxation pool, luxury sun-loungers, friendly staff. Several restaurants, the Soya Restaurant was excellent, the main buffet restaurant was good and we enjoyed the breakfast selections, however, the evening meal selection was ok but not 5 star with some dishes repeated during our 7 day stay, the desserts were ok but again not 5 star. Our premium sea facing room was good though there was no mini-bar which was advertised, also most of the tv channels are in German with no option to have English subtitles, even a member of staff came down but could not rectify the subtitle functionality. If possible try and get a ground or 1st floor room as we were given a basement room with a garden view but the noise from the back hallway echoed with people talking and walking on the ceramic floor which echoed loudly especially in the morning. There is a mini-market on site but this is very limited. We enjoyed the facilities and there is a bus that goes to KOS Town and is reasonable in price (approx 2 euros). The only other issue I had was that there were smokers around the pool.

Just arrived home from a week at this fabulous hotel. The reception staff are very pleasant and friendly. The man who took us and our cases to the room was so polite and helpful, a very good first impression. The rooms are a good size, clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I do feel a few pictures would add to the ambience of the room, it did feel a little bland. If sharing with friends, make sure you are comfortable with the glass enclosed shower in the middle of the room which leaves little to the imagination!! We did however have a wonderful sea view. We were worried that as we had arrived so late that we would not be able to eat but the restaurant have a buffet from 11pm till late which was very welcome. The bar area is very nice and cosy although the area near the reception is not so, the lights are far too bright for relaxing in the evening. We were All Inclusive. On the drinks menu it said 3* Metaxa is available on All inclusive but when we ordered it, it most definitely was not Metaxa but a far inferior local brand! After some discussion with bar staff which led to the customer service lady becoming involved, this was addressed and the next day the bar staff knew who we were and could not have been nicer! The wine unfortunately was undrinkable but the cocktails and beer made up for that! We were very fortunate to encounter Michael in the bar who made absolutely sure we had what we wanted. Michael is such a friendly, pleasant and amiable young man who is the utmost credit to the hotel. I feel he will go far if hospitality is the course he would like to take, he knows how to handle people in the best way. The evening entertainment is great, we thoroughly enjoyed The Jersey Boys and The Motown show. On the afternoon that we left, the evening entertainment were doing their sound check, I believe they were Ill Divo, they sounded excellent and we were very sad to miss them. The food in the restaurant is outstanding. It is always hot when meant to be, a great choice on offer and really excellent quality. In the evening it could do with a little less bright lighting to add to the atmosphere but if you want to sit on the terrace it can then be too dark! This does not distract form the quality of the food, I am really impressed that the standard is so high. The staff were all very good. We did have an evening at the Asian restaurant which was pleasant but not outstanding. We also had a 'champagne' breakfast at the restaurant near the beautiful infinity pool but this was less than impressive. The pools are beautiful, the view from the infinity pool is amazing but it gets very busy. The pool near the other bar is much less so and peacefully quiet. Both pools are very cold thought, be warned! Once in and swimming its fine but you need to keep moving! The aqua fit class at 12oc is great fun, as is the yoga and pilates class although this was too early in the morning for some. I thought the yoga/pilates instructor was wonderful, very clear instructions. But I wished there could have been another class a little later than 8 and 9am, maybe in the summer they do provide this, I don't know. We didn't use the spa, unfortunately, nor did we have children with us so can't comment on these facilities. Without doubt I would recommend Michelangelo hotel to anyone, although on a hillside with many steps, you can always request a buggy to take you around. The steps do get easier as the week progresses! But we had a lovely time and would most definitely go again if in the area.
