Dimitra Beach Hotel & Suites in Kos, Greece
If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Kos
Dimitra Beach Hotel & Suites
Dimitra Beach Hotel & suites is a 5-star all-inclusive resort in the popular Agios Fokas village of Kos that offers 6 swimming pools and 3 restaurants in a beachfront setting. Enjoying views of the sea, the hotel’s premises include sports facilities, a mini market and a kids’ disco.The staff was fantastic, always helpful and friendly. Especially Nicks, who was the service person for the beach. They handed out free water and drinks at the beach and would even deliver food from the snack menu.We had half-board so our drinks and lunch was not included but we found that the food at the bar was delicious and actually cheaper than going to the all-inclusive buffet (+25/person). We are not heavy drinkers and we prefer local cuisine to the buffet so the half board worked great.The hotel offers 2 restaurants with a la carte menus that can each be visited once per 7 day stay. That was a nice treat and the food was really good. Otherwise we hopped on the bus to Kos town and enjoyed a plethora of really good restaurants with great food at a good price value.The hotel has a car rental company on-site that offers a large variety of vehicles for rent and the process is quick and easy. We recommend at least one day of exploration to Kefalos (very picturesque beach/island/ruins/church), Melissa's Honey store/restaurant as well as the mountain village of Zia. Zia offers great views, shopping and good food and is advertised for the best sunset views on the island. Other sites include a salt lake, wind mills and many delightful beaches.Kos town has an old town area with plenty of shopping from cheap souvenirs to well made art and leather products. Some artist from the island and all over Greece offer their products. The restaurants are plentiful and most offer good quality food and friendly service. We found (with reservations!) some great places along the beach that were a little better than the ones right on the marina. As in most of Europe you can sit as long as you want and you are not chased to pay and leave right away.In fact you will have to get someones attention to get your bill and pay.We stayed at the beachfront bungalows and I cannot say how beautiful it was.
