Grand Blue Beach Hotel

Breakfast was excellent, the gym was one of the best I've seen in a hotel.

Nothing springs to mind

The hotel is amazing. I had breathtaking views from the room - sunrise every morning and the beautiful see. Everything is super clean, the rooms, the restaurants, the communal areas. I had breakfast included and the food was always fresh and tasty. There were the usual European items and then Greek things like spinach or cheese pie, Greek cakes, etc. The hotel has a fantastic gym that opens early till late. It has a Smith frame, dumbells, benches, treadmills and bikes, Cable machine, leg extension /leg curl, etc and it's included in the price. Really good!! The pools are large and clean with plenty of sunbeds around. I got a complimentary a la carte dinner and both the food and the service were excellent. And this is one of the most important things. The staff is fantastic, not 5* but 6*. Starting from reception to the cleaners, they always smile and look out what they can do for the guests. Respect to them in that heat. :D I got a lot of advice and tips where to go, what to do, how to get to places, etc. The hotel is built on the hill and the buildings are scattered all around. There is a golf car service taking people up and down on the hill - great when someone is feeling lazy. Kardamena town is within walking distance (8 mins) so it's easy to go out for a meal or drink, or just for some shopping. But there is a mini market in the hotel anyway. I had a nespresso machine in the room, and all the usual things like bathrobe, slippers, fridge, kettle, hair dryer, telly etc. :) I hired a car and could park it at the hotel for free, no issues, didn't even need to book it. If one day I return to Kos, I'll stay here again.
