Kalypso Studio Resorts

In August, I stayed at Kalypso Studio in Kavos and was generally very satisfied. The location is very convenient, close to the center but far enough to avoid the noise. The environment is quiet and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. A big thank you to Konstantina for making our party so special with her amazing cocktails!

My experience is based on staying in a studio in one of the bungalows. There is no kitchenette as such, just a stand above the fridge with the kitchen utensils on it. This had an induction hot plate with a saucepan. This turned out to be an ordinary one which didn't work on an induction hob! There was no kettle, tea spoons or cereal bowls, however when I asked these were supplied straight away together with a proper sauce pan. Dishes have to be washed in the bathroom sink though!! The bathroom was typical Greek but very small and was difficult get a shower. The room was generally clean but limescale needs to be removed from the taps and shower. There are however some good points. On arrival I was given a 6X1.5 litre pack of mineral water. There was shower gel in the bathroom. Wifi coverage was very good and the staff were excellent and on the whole spoke good English. Also there was no charge for the safe. The towels were changed regularly.

This hotel is rated a 2 star and we booked it through jet2. It is hands down the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It has a neglected feel to it as soon as you walk along the driveway. We shared a triple room with 3 single beds. The beds were uncomfortable, mainly due to the springs sticking into our bodies. The floors weren’t clean, the shower head just hung from the wall, thankfully I had two hands so was able to hold it while cleaning myself with the other. The shower tray didn’t drain and leaked into the bathroom floor. We had no option but to use our bath towels to dry it and these were changed once during our stay. The hot water lasted 2 minutes max and then went cold so showering was unpleasant. Twice we complained about not having any water to the room which also prevented the toilet from being flushed which isn’t hygienic at all. There was a lovely wasps next above our balcony, the door handle came off one night and there was nobody about to help so I had to repair that! The kitchen sink tap leaked when the tap was turned, the fridge leaked water, we had one damp bed sheet on our bed and it was cold on a night, especially because the air con wouldn’t turn off unless the key fob was removed. The towels felt damp upon arrival along with the bedding and pillow and to top it off the pool wasn’t clean and had a murky tinge to it, there was a tiled pattern on the pool floor but I couldn’t make it out. Oh and the mozzies are rife!

What a place. I wouldn't even give it one star. We have NEVER stayed in a place like it. The only good thing about this hotel is the two lovely ladies behind the bar Maria and Tina. The rooms are terrible I don't know how Jet2 can advertise them . We had no hot water for 2 days the room wasn't cleaned before we arrived, used razor and sun lotion left in the bathroom. Bathroom was something else, shower cubicle I couldn't even put shampoo on my head unless I moved outside the area, shower curtain touched the toilet. Wouldn't recommend to my worse enemy.

Super basic 2* accommodation. Allegedly self catering with a kitchenette. This comprised of 2 plates, 2 glasses, 2 cups, one pan, a fridge and one hotplate! No sink, no microwave, no bowls, minimal cutlery. Completely put off by having to wash plates etc in the bathroom sink next to the toilet, grim. How you could contemplate actually cooking is beyond me. Certainly not any self catering kitchenette as advertised. Had to purchase own bowls as person on duty didn't know if they could provide any! Not enough bedding or pillows and could never find anyone to ask. Room rarely cleaned. Really disappointed with the facilities provided in the room for self catering. The pool and bar very pleasant and short walk from supermarket and restaurants. Would not recommend for families at all. Also the photos on TripAdvisor are completely out of date. Sunbeds are tired, tatty, rusty. Parasols torn. Definitely needs updating.

Accommodation was very nice with everything you need for a week in Kavos. Staff were also super friendly and were happy to help with any queries. Food prices were great with snacks and meals being of decent quality. They also have premium hours where drinks in the evening are even cheaper.
