White Rock of Kos Hotel - Adults only

This is hands-down the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and were so friendly. The rooms and communal areas were spotless. We never had to ‘reserve’ or battle for a sun bed around the pool; there was always some available and it was never busy, so was great for relaxing. It can get windy in the afternoons. We had the junior suite with a jacuzzi on the balcony. The balcony was huge with a table and chairs, two sun loungers and the jacuzzi which was great to go in at night and look out at the view. The hotel is situated high up. We were able to walk down a path to the amenities (about a 10 minute walk) but got lifts back up. The hotel staff were always on hand to offer lifts and we never had to wait long. This was at a cost of 10€ per room each way, but would be worth it for those who may struggle with the hard climb back up to the hotel. We ate in the hotel restaurant one evening and it was my favourite meal that we ate all week, so I would recommend this. The breakfast buffet selection also caters for everyone and you’ll never go hungry! This is a bright, modern hotel with fantastic staff that I would highly recommend to anyone! We will be returning! Thank you to all the staff who made our stay so welcoming.

Beautiful hotel in amazing surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing. Rooms clean and spacious. Staff very professional with excellent etiquette and very pleasant and accomodating Mariola and Alex were very helpful and always cheerful as were all of the staff. We have never felt so well looked after. Only negatives were drinks quite expensive and the hotel shuttle also costly especially as it was very much a requirement in the evenings given the location of the hotel. We felt the shuttle service, although very efficient, should have been cheaper in view of the position of the hotel from the main town.

Okay I have to start by saying that the staff are brilliant, friendly and courteous (as we found everyone in that side of the island to be). So my review is not reflective of the staff, it is merely a critical eye on a resort that claims to be 5 star. First of all - a spa is advertised - they don't have one. There was some story about a woman being off etc. but the fact is - they do not have the spa pictured on their website. It's located in the town somewhere - don't know, didn't go. Parts of facility strive to be 5 star but come up short, namely - poor wardrobes, doors that don't close properly and most importantly - the air con. The air con is not what it needs to be. Again I'll stress I am being picky - but 5 star is 5 star and you expect these little things to be better. The gym is average but for a week on holiday it does the job to be fair. The biggest issue we had was the location to be honest. It's up at a height so 4 of the 7 days when you're "relaxing" at the pool - prepare to get absolutely battered by the wind. Genuinely - it's not enjoyable. The other issue with location is - to walk to the town you have to take a dirt track that goes through somebody's home / farm. They themselves were lovely as per the way of people on the island, but the track to town just leaves an awful sour taste in your mouth. I know, I know - how is that the hotels fault? - well imo a 5 star hotel should be trying to make the experience top class. They do offer a bus to town but it's a tenner a head. (It's less than 2km) Overall I was just a bit disappointed with the resort. The people were lovely but the facility is at a push 4 star! The town - I couldn't speak more highly of. The people are so nice, the quality of food etc is excellent and if you are after a relaxing, low key break - go to this area!

My friend and I had a fantastic time at The White Rock. It's a beautiful hotel with an amazing pool. The food is really good and the staff all go the extra mile. The one disappointment was that the spa was closed due to lack of staff However they organised appointments for us at another hotel and drove us there and back. We will definitely go back. It was very relaxing. Our thanks to Alex, Anastasia and Mario la at reception, Dmitri in the bar and lovely Maria in the restaurant.
