Rosemary and I visited Kos for the first time last year and stayed in the Sunset .
It is Fantastic although there is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach however you pass All the bars, resturants shops etc on the way so passing your time.
The Hotel has excellent facilities,Bar,Pool etc and if you just want to relax at the pool the prices at the pool bar are very reasonable and the snacks are good.
There were a few kids around the pool as you would expect what I didn't expect tho was how well behaved they all were.
We went on a few trips with Theokritos Travel which you will find down the street and they looked after us very well indeed.(Even to the extent of getting Rosemary Seasickness Tablets for one trip!!)
The Bus picking ypu up right outside the Hotel.
Across the Road is a Fantastic Supermarket which is cheap with good quality food available.
A trip on Public transport to Kos town is Very Cheap and again the bus stop is right outside.
The rooms are spacious clean although the Cooking facillities are basically 2 electric rings but the food is that good you will eat out anyway. So if you like a Cuppa bring a travel Kettle and you can Hire fans(a Must)I would look at acually buying a Fan from the Supermarket as if I remember it works out cheaper,then again you have to leave it.
We had a power cut EVERY Day we were there but in fairness the whole Island went out as they were fixing some transmitter.
Finally Would we recommend it?
We have booked the same hotel the same room for 2003.
If you want a relaxing holiday with plenty to see and do
Get there you will love it
