Eurovillage Achilleas Hotel

We had a great 2 week stay at Eurovillage. I read a lot of reviews before we left so I'd discovered a lot of things to possibly watch out for. I feel a lot of the bad, or just ok reviews, are not warranted as they are all avoidable if you speak to staff i.e...not happy with room location, not getting enough info about the place or trips. We arrived ( family of 4, 2 daughters, 18 and 15) we had booked 2 rooms and requested they were close together. The hotel is only a 15 -20 minute transfer from the airport so it is very close to the flight path but it's not something that bothered us at all. We had booked a superior twin snd a basic as that was all that was available to us through easyjet. They upgraded us to 2 superior twins so we were only a few doors away from each other. We were also close to the beach which we loved. Spacious rooms, air conditioning with beautiful views. Rooms 118 and 123. We had a surprise of a payment for the environmental resilience tax on arrival which was 7€ a day per room. We were all inclusive and our travel agent hadn't told us about this but everyone has to pay it so be prepared! So we payed an additional €196 on the 2 rooms. Because we had a free upgrade to 2 rooms with sea views through the hotel ( an extra £300 each through easy jet ) we felt it balanced out a little bit. The check in was fine. You are given a tablet that you have to fill out with name, email, passport number etc. It didn't take too long. We were told to go to the buffet restaurant and get some food and drink and come back to reception at 3 and our rooms would be ready. We were taken to our rooms on a golf buggy with our cases. We were so pleased to be close to the beach, but if you want to be near the pool or anywhere else, just request in your booking on arrival and I'm sure they'd sort it. The buffet restaurant is spacious with lots if seating, we usually got a table outsude as its a bit quieter. The food is nice with lots of different choices. Friday is Gala night so it's a glass of Fizz on arrival a photo opportunity,if you want it, and a slightly different menu. There is a themed restaurant above it ( I only knew about this from reviews ) you book it at reception. It's a lot quieter, still buffet style, less choice, nice pizza, and lovely views if you sit outside. We would walk to the beach about 8.30 a.m, choose our sunbeds, sit and chat then go for breakfast and head back to the beach after. Sometimes after lunch we would go to the pool, which our daughters enjoyed. A little hunt for sunbeds but we usually got 4 and stayed there for the afternoon. They do have activities on like kids clubs, volley ball, aqua aerobics but it wasnt in your face, I hardly noticed it. The beach bar is lovely and quiet. A great place to sit and have a cold beer about 5 ish before getting ready for dinner. We walked into Mastichari a few times to buy gifts. There's a coastal path along the beach if you turn right. It takes about 20 minutes and there's love

We booked last minute, we didn't have an updated room but it was clean and I found the location perfect, 1 minute to the beach bar/ beach and 30 seconds from the pool, 20 minutes walk to the village with some beautiful bars and good food. Food wasn't that great some good days, gyros at pool bar at lunch time really good though. The barman at the poolbar wasn't friendly but all other staff were very good. Tip you can book a bus from the hotel to kos Town €5 each way per person the night before it is cheaper if you walk to the village but we went when the heatwave was happening.

Fantastic hotel just a 10minute drive from Kos airport. Staff were friendly and efficient on arrival. Rooms were spotless and with room cleaning every other day it was perfect. Food in the restraunts were lovely and a great choice of foods. Pool lovely and big with sun loungers get out early with your towels though as they go very quickly. Cocktails were fabulous.
