Kris Mari

came here to stay for 10 nights with my friend & had the best time ever! hotel is so close to the beach (2 minute walk, if that!), small supermarket next door as well. bars and restaurants are 5 minute walk away as well. our room was cleaned daily & had a gorgeous balcony. staff were friendly and the pool was so relaxing as well! had the best time on this holiday!

We read a few reviews before we came, all I can say is you have to come and see for yourself, we arrived, self check in was different but it didn't take long, very friendly staff and spotless hotel, Good sized room and balcony, comfy bed, pillows not so. Breakfast was good, sun loungers very comfy. Pool and pool area cleaned everyday, very relaxing. We was was on our honeymoon and the hotel surprised us one evening with a really nice bottle of wine and two glasses saying congratulations to us. Very relaxing honeymoon and highly recommend. Also situated in a great area. Two minutes to the shops, restaurants and beach.

Just returned from a week at the Kris mari, stayed many times in the last 10 years.always picked this hotel as the location is fantastic and there is a good crowd of returning guests, probably won't be going back as my wiry is disabled and it's not really an accessible hotel as there is no lift to pool area, previously we've used the back gate to get to the pool area however this is now locked ( I understand why this is so)we had an old shower cubicle which is not really suitable for her(very slippery and no room for a chair),WiFi poor in room, pillows rock hard,pool bar music same 15 songs get played over and over as much as 10 times dailey ( counted),they now have a robot to collect dishes! maybe they could of used the money better elsewhere,good points are location, cleaners brilliant ,guests great, breakfast OK, pool area good ( with ramp to access shallow end) so really we'll probably go with the superior as its more accessible

We've been meaning to review this since we came back. Went in Aug 23, it was probably the best place we've been to on holiday. Kos is absolutely beautiful, friendly, unspoilt, breath taking views, clear blue sea, the atmosphere is buzzing. It will appeal to all. The weather was unbelievable, sunny every day and hot. There's something for everyone, families, couples, young groups of friends etc. It feels safe, the food is great, lovely beaches, clubs, really good shops, The Kris Mari hotel was just brilliant. The location is perfect, it's a 2 minute walk (if that) from the beach, bars, shops and resort. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. They were all so friendly, chatty and so helpful and kind. There's a bar, games room, pool table, darts and one large swimming pool. There's a really cool bar overlooking the pool too. There's also a restaurant, we ate out but did have breakfast there which was good. Pretty basic but that's all you need. Not sure if i can name anyone, but there was an amazing lady, I'll call her Ms A - who made our stay extra special. Thank you so much for the best holiday.

My best friend and I just got back from a week at the Kris Mari and it was just the best, funniest and most amazing holiday we have been on! Before we left we had read several reviews of the hotel that had not been very complimentary so we were a bit xx apprehensive on what to expect! How wrong were those reviews!! On arrival we were greeted by Rena who was so helpful in checking us in and helping us throughout our stay as well as her husband Minas who was so kind and helpful they both made us feel at home and part of their extended family. Vaggelis from the pool bar was an absolute blast and nothing was too much trouble and both him and his colleague Rafael kept us suitably entertained throughout the day with Pina Colada’s made with banana ice cream that were extremely exceptional!! Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. They both made our holiday even more enjoyable and are a credit to the Kris Mari. The food at the Kris Mari- Alma restaurant was also outstanding we ate there all but one evening and every meal was delicious, very flavoursome and good size portions! Compliments to the chef! Stauroula special snacks lady was awesome a happy greeting from her every morning at breakfast and looked after us like family was very heart warming. The location of the hotel is perfect literally a 5min walk to the beach and more bars and restaurants. Town and supermarkets were just a little further up the road. The rooms are basic but if your just using it as a base to sleep which is all you really need in a place like this it is perfect and contains what is needed a little fridge, very comfy beds and walk in showers with refreshing waterfall shower head. All I can say as two women on their own we were made to feel so safe and welcomed that we can’t wait to go back later this year. 💖🏖️💖

I stayed here in 2020 during the first lockdown lift and had a super time. The staff were so friendly so decided to go back this year for 2 weeks and took my parent too (2rooms) we got a super deal on jet2 £501 each for 2 weeks b&b (Mid May). The room is basic with fridge, 32inch tv with UK tv for those people who need to watch soaps... Both rooms had a new wet room with big overhead rain shower and a hand-held showerhead for washing hair etc. The beds are single and were comfy (not memory foam but you don’t feel the springs either). The swimming pool is fresh water and is only heated by the sun. so can be cold but once you are in you get use to it. As the week went on the water temp did get better and was very enjoyable, much warmer than the sea. The pool also has new wooden sunbeds which were very comfy. Jenny is still here who runs the evening bar and many who visit this hotel in the past are always made welcome. Gerry who ran the pool bar is now at the superior hotel next door which you can use, as its part of the chain. He’s a great character and the pool food (snack) is well worth the money. Past reviewers have moaned about the breakfast. There’s fresh bread, cake, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, orange and apple juice, ham, cheese, fresh fruit (pear, apple orange) tomatoes, cucumber, olives, boil eggs, yogurt, and cereal. More to feed you in the morning (7.30-9.30am sharp) if you don’t want continental then there’s loads of bars less than 5mins away that do a cooked English etc. We had a super time and I think people forget that you are not in a 5-star hotel. The rooms are clean and well maintained. We take a travel kettle and hard plastic coffee cups as there are no glasses in the room but I’m sure if you as at the bar or breakfast room they will let you take a cup to your room. The only thing for us that stopped the hotel getting a five star was the Alma restaurant which use to be located 5mins away on the sea front is now in the hotel. The food was no way near as good as it use to be. My gyros platter came with no pitta bread or tzatziki and burnt meat and my dad’s gammon was so over cooked that it was like leather. I did raise these issues with the reception team as I really want this hotel to do well as it’s in a great location and many of the guest are regular visitors. If you want great food at super prices then the Mediterranean Sun the next street away next to Pavlos bar is a must. We ate there most nights and always had great food and lovely friendly staff. A meal for 3 with wine is around 34 euros 8to10euros a dish depending what you have. Steak is about 17 euros. The beach is close by and there are a few supermarkets close too, Manos being one of them. Try to enjoy the Greek culture and as long as the rooms are clean and dry with fresh towels when you need them (I place mine in the shower floor so housekeeping know to change) that’s all I ask for. Plenty of bars and restaurants and all make you very welcome. Temps for May 22

Brilliant friendly staff on reception, breakfast and Ana on the bar. Excellent cleaner. Room was an upgraded one with a good bathroom 3rd floor. Will stay st this hotel for sure again, very good location
