Just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Alice Springs Hotel. George,Barbara and family make you

so welcome as soon as you step off the Thomson coach! The hotel is family run and all the family make sure that you have a great time. The rooms are spotlessly clean with fresh towels and sheets every day, we had a room beside the pool which was great. The pool is lovely with free sunbeds and mattresses and the pool bar is open from 8am until the last guest goes to bed ! Turn right out of the hotel and Lambi beach is 50metres walk where you can have 2 beds and an umbrella for only 5euros from the greek man on the right, he'll also give you a free lilo!

The Wednesday family barbeque night and  the Friday Lamb dinner night are not to be missed. George is great at advising you where to eat at night, most people walk into Kos Town which is a 30mins leisurely stroll,although there are plenty of tavernas in the local area. Kerry the Thomson rep was really good and on hand daily.We went on the Mount Zia sunset trip, and also the 3 island boat trip which we booked at Kos harbour (Kalymnos Express).

We loved it and hope to visit Alice Springs Hotel again. 

 

We booked to go on the Katerina boat but due to a high wind at sea on the day the boat wasn't allowed to leave the harbour. We transferred on to a pirate looking boat called the Kalymnos Express. This was fantastic ! The american/greek lady that runs this with her family was really helpful. We got a spot on the upper deck with mattresses, so go early to grab one of these, definately the best place on board.

The 3 islands were lovely and you get a barbeque lunch and watermelon later included.

Would recommend the Kalymnos Express it was fab !
