Irina Beach Aparthotel
Tingaki, Kos

Miss A Larkin, Tonbridge

Clean beautiful looking, quite too far from town.

Mr C North, Winchester

This is our first time at this hotel and we will be going back again.

The rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. The utilities in the room were just right. There is an on site bar and restaurant. The food is excellent, it's not 5 star cuisine but the local dishes are well cooked. The staff could not be more helpful and looked after us well. The swimming pool area is excellent, plenty of beds and the pool is big enough for all to enjoy.

The hotel is a little gem where you can relax properly.

Mr J Curzon, Romford

We really enjoyed our stay at Irina Beach Aparthotel. We wanted a quiet, relaxing child friendly base from which we could explore the island from and that is exactly what we got. I would definitely recommend it for those looking for a quiet break.
The good: The hotel is best described as simple rather than basic. The rooms are clean and well looked after. The staff are friendly and helpful, if a bit laid back. There is a bus stop a hundred meters from the hotel entrance that goes to Tingaki or Kos on the hour for 2e. There is a small supermarket run by the hotel to buy essentials (pasta, onions, tomatoes and water most of the time). Supermarkets in Tigaki offer more choice, but you won't find any of them sell fresh meat or fish. There are two lovely tavernas near the hotel. One is in vine yard off of the main road about 5 minutes from the hotel and the other is along the beach about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Both are very friendly and do excellent food at very reasonable prices. You can eat at the hotel and on the occasions where we did, we enjoyed the food. The hotel's ice cream is a Greek brand and literally some of the best I've ever eaten. The pool, apartments and grounds are very well looked after. We went at the end of August and it never got too busy. I would describe the area as quiet and you could always get a sun lounger. Lots of the other guests were families so children will have other kids to play with. All the guests we met were very pleasant. The trips to see the sunset at Zia, the Greek Night, three island boat trip and coach tour of the island are all worth doing (although if you hire a scooter or can you can of course do the exploration yourself). The thermal spa is also very nice but with a caveat (see below). The bad: It's about 2.5km to Tingaki from the hotel which is too far for an evening stroll or walk in the middle of the day as it takes about 30-40 minutes. If you want to go on excursions (which we did) you will find it is cheaper to book them direct from the operators in Tingaki rather than through the hotel. Although right beside the sea, the beach itself is rocky and not particularly appealing. However, if you want a sandy beach you can head over to Tingaki or head along the coast the other way to Golden Beach which is not quite as nice but quieter. If you want air conditioning it costs 6 euros a night. If you don't want to be eaten alive by mosquitos, then this is probably going to be a must. We had a lovely nightly ritual of sealing the room and then hunting and killing any mosquitos each night! If you go to the thermal spa, be warned that you will be dropped off by a beach with no toilets and very little shade (unless you pay 5e for a lounger or sit in one of the two cafes) for five hours before you are collected. The thermal spa itself and the coast beside it are lovely however.
