Review of OKU Kos 5*

I would like to leave a comprehensive review but that would go to much in detail. I decided to split the review in Cons and Pros. Cons: At the breakfast there was some things what we are used to get in a 5 Star Hotel not available or only for an additional payment: Latte macchiato, fresh fruits like pineapple…, no custom made omelette, only one kind of juice and that juice you got only from the waiter. At the Dinner you could order from Special of the day what was 2 different meals (with half-Board) and you could order from the not changing menu card (fixed meals over the time we were being there) the diversity was to less for us and to less greek character. Generally to less Greek food was available — that we would expect when we travel to Kos and Greek island. Loud resort, the farmer very near the resort is shooting 24/7 — around the clock and you hear that when you relax on the private pool or when you sleep in your bed. Rooms are more than rustic, it’s more poor than rustic/puristic/minimalistic. There was even not tiles in the shower, that cannot be very hygienically because it’s impossible to clean the shower without tiles. It looks for us more they had no more money to tile the shower. The bed was as well very uncomfortable, the bed was way too much soft. I understand that the bed cannot fit for everyone but the bed should have a mid strength between hard and soft and that was not the case. Not child friendly, they have no bathtub. Did you tried to wash a child below 1 year old in the shower? Really tough! At some stairs not stroller friendly. We paid while the vacation in cash all the time. When we was do the checkout they wanted still money from us because of two open bills. I was reject them and explained that there was all paid already. They was finally not insist for the payment. Overall was the hotel and rooms are not 5 Stars, when you checked the ground after the cleaning service was there it was like not cleaned. Pros: Very heartfelt service from the most employee there. Special thanks to Anastasia, Anna-Maria, Igor and the other stuff I could not remember the names from the waiters. But they was making great and fresh made food for our 9.5 month boy and served us as well very nicely! The bar near the restaurant is amazing, when we would not have our young boy with us I am sure we would stay and enjoy there for several hours in that 10 days. The private and the public pools were great and we enjoyed it really. As well the beach is nice but it could be more clean. We was see several waste there. Generally the resort view is very nice and like painted, great for nice pictures. But you need to check for the details. Conclusion: We would never come back to this hotel and as well we cannot recommend to somebody to visit the hotel for vacation. If the hotel would be cheaper related to the quality, then OK, but not for the delivered quality and the current costs. I am sure as well that this hotel will be no more so popular after this year. If you really want a modern 5 Star Hotel and you are used to stay at such Hotels you will be not happy with Casa Cook Kos. Private Parking place was very good and close to our rooms, we never had a problem that we would not find a parking place in the resort. The review reflect our personal made experience when we visit this Hotel mid Sept. 2017 for 10 days.
