Continental Palace

The hotel is located in a fine location , away from the town and has a small public beach and the sea across the road. As you ride up to the hotel , there is a very impressive swimming pool surrounded with grassy areas where you can sunbathe . Our room was spotlessly clean and well looked after for the duration of our holiday - To have a shower we had to stand in the bath and hold the flexible shower head , plus our tv did not have one English speaking programme and there were bunk beds that were slightly in front of the tv screen. Breakfast was good and any fruit,salad or cakes were most enjoyable but unfortunately the main meal in the evening was disappointing the "local" produce was excellent - but the cooked main meal was poor quality. The staff were excellent , especially Rene on the desk who was most knowledgeable about the hotel and the surrounding areas - plus in the dining room Michael was "flat out" working hard all the time.

This is the first time I’ve stayed in this hotel, I thought we would be near Kos town but it’s only 800 metres away and to be honest I’m so pleased we stayed at the continental as it was lovely and quiet, just what we needed! The food we found to be fine and always refilled when needed, maybe a bit more choice, we love Greek food so we were more than happy with what we ate. The hotel is spotless inside and out and the housekeeping was on point. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, from Irene on reception to Vasillis at the pool bar. All members of staff we interacted with were brilliant. The only downside was the rooms need updating but apart from the beds being so squeaky there was nothing wrong, we enjoyed watching the night entertainment from our balcony and loved the sea view. I emailed the hotel before we got there to see if they could put my father close to our room and they emailed straight back to say they would do their best to accommodate us and did, we were one room away. I would definitely go back!

We spent a week in this lovely hotel recently. We had stayed before but last year it was awful. However, we looked at the reviews and were delighted to see several changes. There is a lovely lady, Mariana, now the director of the hotel. There is a new chef. And.....an entire wing of the hotel has been renovated to a very high standard. We stayed in an executive room with a large wrap around balcony. Room was very tastefully furnished. Lovely walk in rainshower. Aircon that worked. Food was excellent. Plentiful, varied and hot. Bar is still being looked after by Annike and we sat out most nights in the courtyard with entertainment. The gardens of this hotel are gorgeous. Lovely trees and shrubs surrounding the pool are and are very well maintained. Only drawback was the lack of an indoor spa. Massages and beauty facilities are outside in the garden area.
Despite the stunning heat we had a lovely holiday and will definitely be back.
