Kipriotis Maris Suites

Spent a week at the hotel at the end of September, beginning of October. Like some of the other reviews, I have to agree that this is not or no longer a 5 star hotel tired looking in parts, some bar chairs broken and noticed in parts tiles missing on walkways. Room cleaned each day, staff pleasant. I can’t complain about the food, plenty of choice and was nice in my opinion. The bar was ok, but serving in drinks in small flimsy plastic cups should be changed, especially as the hotel charges an environmental tax on arrival…… not very sustainable and or environmentally friendly….. The entire entertainment team were amazing, trying their best and keeping us all entertained, thank you.

The hotel is situated up a 300m very steep slope which was an issue as we suffer with mobility due to knee replacement. The standard of the place isn’t 5*, really it’s a low 3*. It’s tired and in desperate need of a renovation or at the very least a deep clean and bathrooms updating. Room was grubby, smelt of damp and mold in bathroom, dirty tea and coffee making facilities with stains. Broken furniture. Wine is served from rotating slush puppy machines, something I’d expect see at Butlins not in a 5* resort. Food was really basic and average. Staff are rude but that will be due to constant queues at reception with people complaining. If you want to enjoy your holiday, I would strongly suggest you avoid this hotel, or at least manage your expectations and prepare to stay in a slightly run down Premier Inn room. If you really want 5*, try Hotel Aqua in Marmaris, Turkey, this blows this place out of the water. Perhaps someone from management should take a trip and see how it should be done.

This hotel is really clean, and everyone who works here, from reception, cleaners, gardeners, chef, bar staff, team, everyone is so friendly and helpful. Big thank you to Aris (maintenance) who helped us first day, what a great guy! Also Anna (with the lovely red beads) who welcomed us and answered any questions ☺️ We always look for 4 things that make a good hotel in Greece: cleanliness, comfy mattress, good flushing toilet and good shower - this hotel ticked all boxes! The food is absolutely exceptional, we had at least two plate fulls of each meal, bang goes the diet 😅 The chefs go above and beyond to cater for everyone, something inventive and new each day and there's honestly nothing you can't get. They do an outside cooking area of an evening, and also a nice touch is the kids section offering some simpler things kids might like. We didn't feel the need to go outside to a taverna as it felt 'greek', everything home cooked tasty and absolutely delicious. Why people say it's not enough is beyond me, it was all amazing! I'd forgotten about the hotel tax on arrival, so keep in mind as it's classed as 5 stars it's the top end of €15 night. The hotel grounds are stunning, green palm trees everywhere and maintained very well. Little chickens out the front and super friendly little cats wandering about, everyone loved them as very sweet. We walked one day into Kos town, bit of a trek as took about an hour each way, but very flat and gets prettier the closer you get to the town. Kos town so pretty, should be called the town of the treet lined streets as so cute! Small enough to walk around in a couple of hours, old town bit really worth seeing. There's a mini market on site of this hotel, but if you go out front, turn right there's two more (cheaper prices) just up the road past the car rental places. The only improvement I'd say is maybe make the rooms a little more inviting with a bit of colour, or a picture or two on wall as it was large but a bit dated and sparse, very clean tho and great bed so we didn't mind. Also, there's pagodas all the way around the pool so lots of shade, you have to keep moving the sunbeds right out to catch the sun, so I would suggest making a few more ares free of shade if possible as a lot.of us do like to lie by pool and get some rays 😎 Thanks Kapriotis Maris for a really great stay and for increasing my weight by about 2 stone! 😂😋
