Aegean View Aqua Resort & Spa

To begin with we couldn't fully open the door to the bedroom as the bed was in the way, and neither could we shut it as it just wouldn't stay closed. Great start to the holiday. There was also only one cup and glass tumbler for 2 adults, the milk was out of date showing 02 October - this didn't really bother us as we had coffee / tea in the dining room / pool bar. |We were without a bathroom light for 3 days despite my complaining 6 times to management. It was only after a telephone call to Easy jet and one more complaint from me that they decided to fix it for us. I wear contact lens so it was really important that was able to see what I was doing in a clean environment. Also showering in the dark was no mean feat !! The floor in the shower was very slippery when wet, the grouting on the tiles and sealant around the shower unit and shower door were absolutely filthy. The mirror was also covered in rust spots as was the toilet brush holder. We did not have our room cleaned at all - the toilet nor the sink were cleaned only the bins emptied. We had to ask for clean towels as none were automatically left for us - we shower every day so clean dry towels were a must. The sheet was stripped off our bed after day 3 and a clean one left for us to make up - I thought that was part of the cleaners service to do that? The pool outside our door (337) was dirty - the tiles on the bottom of the pool were covered in green slime so there was no chance that either of us would ever swim in there. |The pool bar ladies toilets were absolutely disgusting - no seats on any of the toilets, no hot running water, no soap and no hand towels. We had to use toilet paper to wipe our hands - absolutely not hygienic! The areas around the pool bar were not hosed down at any time of our visit so all the drinks that had been tipped left sticky marks with shoes almost sticking to the ground!|Staff were surly and unfriendly except for the animation team who were really good fun and tried very hard. No children's club or entertainment except a mini disco for half an hour each evening. No problem to us as we did not have children but it was advertised on their website. The entertainment was dire so we happily skipped that most evenings. Drinks were ok although some of the bar staff were quite rude. Good choice of food and it was ok although invariably cold. However you could see the hotel was closing down as they did not renew the coffee or drinks/ wine machine when they run out. People were openly vaping in the pool bar when it clearly stated no smoking etc yet the staff allowed them to carry on.|The shuttle bus continually broke down while we were there which was very inconvenient for people with less mobility than us as it was a good 2k trek into Kos Town. |The only thing "good" about this hotel is the amazing views. They were spectacular! |There was no gym or spa as advertised on their website - enquiries revealed there hadn't been these facilities for a few years so obviously their website needs updating. Selling a hotel with these amenities to people is false pretences and certainly I was looking forward to using the spa and it was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel.|We have stayed in better 2 star hotels than this one even though it is rated 4 star. I would be hard pushed to rate it a 2 star to be honest and that's only because of the beautiful views. If you're thinking of holidaying in Kos - avoid avoid avoid this hotel, it is filthy!

This resort describes itself as a lot of things it is not:|Near to Kos Town |Has a spa|Has a gym|Is 4 star|NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE TRUE.|It is not possible to walk to the beach or into Kos Town; it is too far. The roads are narrow, windy and steep. |It does not have a spa or a gym.|It does not have an upstairs dining room.|It has steep, high steps which are slippery when wet (we had some rain) and steep inclines which is totally unsuitable for anyone with serious mobility issues. |Chalets are spread out, some distance from the too small restaurant, so if it's raining, you will need coats and/or brollies so you don't get wet.|It does not deserve its 4 stars for service nor hygiene.|It has no communal area to sit and nowhere to walk to. |Each room has a TV but no remote or has a remote but without the batteries. |The resort is dirty, mouldy, ill equipped for the number of guests and chronically understaffed. |We booked a twin room but were given a double. We learned from other guests that this was commonplace. Reception said if we waited until the next day they would sort it but they did not. |The 'cleaners' came most days. Each time they gave us new towels to replace the ones we kept on the floor to stop us slipping as water flowed from under the sink and under the bath whenever we ran the taps. They seemed to think this was normal. They emptied our bins but did NOTHING ELSE. No cleaning, no changing the bed. Our supplies of water, tea bags and milk were never replaced, despite our requests. |We had to run the water for 5-10 minutes before it became slightly warm. |The food is average and 'samey'. I am a Coeliac and was told by the Maitre d'Hotel to avoid all dairy products, but Coeliacs are allergic to gluten, not dairy. There is no proper understanding of allergies and no proper labelling of foods, which is dangerous to anyone with an allergy. Many foods are simply not labelled. None of it is hot.|My friend has COPD and gradually became unwell as the week wore on, due, we suspect, to the overwhelming smell of mould and damp in our chalet, despite us keeping the door and window open as much as possible. |Along with other guests we were bitten badly and had to buy insect repellent.|The Aegean View says the complex will be completely refurbished at the end of the season (2025), but as they have misrepresented the resort so badly to date, we have serious doubts that it will be done to any good standard. |I would not recommend this resort, nor stay at it ever again. It is one huge disappointment.

Amazingly good hotel for the price. The only downside was lack of maintenance and lack of staff. The bar staff are happy to assist and the measures are great. The restaurant staff are over worked and need another 5/10 people to help clear tables and turn them round quicker. When we arrived the toilets at the main pool were fine by the time we left (Aug 25) we were down to 1 urinal male and 1 cubicle. More maintenance staff needed. This didn't lead to queues but needs to be addressed. The shuttle bus to the "beach/town" great only downside is the list goes out at 6pm. The queues start at 5pm to get on it. No issue with sunbeds but if you want the free shuttle be prepared to queue. On the subject if transport. A taxi is 10euro from port to hotel "George" is 15euro dont use George from the card at reception unless you need to. Do not let the bad reviews get you down unless you only look at the miserable in life this place is cheap and cheerful if they invest in staff it would be great

I hate to say it but this hotel is not a 4 star. Holidays are what you make it but for the price we paid (700 per room for 5 days all inclusive) it's disgusting and severely overpriced. Whilst the swim up pool rooms are OK, the rest of the hotel feels very 2 to 3 star. The older barman is incredibly rude. Not once but twice to my face, and makes you feel like it is a hassle to serve you drinks. I ended up going back to my room as he was so rude. The food is mediocre. The main bar area has a sticky floor. Entertainment crap. Some of the staff (in the shop) are lovely. Reception is also quite rude. I am sure there are many better hotels in the area. If I were you, I would take the reviews as they are... we booked this last minute and didn't really do our research. I wouldn't come back here if it was free!! Very disappointed in the hotel but the island and people are lovely.

I'm not writing a review to criticise other people's opinions be they good or bad.. But..|Most people loved it while some complained constantly about ant's, plastic cups, cat's, cross contamination, bathrooms, etc, etc, etc...|The usual stuff people who complain seem to find immediately on arrival...||Right..|We travelled as a couple in the middle of September with Jet2..|We paid £650 per person plus a £90 upgrade for sea view, we had the long superb infinity pool on our doorstep, that was for 8 day's..|Night-time temperature dropped to around 22 degrees, day-time to around 30 degrees, clear deep blue skies every day..||It's an hour and half transfer from airport to Eagean View. |If you're thinking of walking to the beach or Kos town then think again or start training at least 6 months in advance..||The hotel lays on a bus, 20 seats I think, going to Kos harbor and back.|Starting at 9.00 every hour till 1.00, then a couple in the afternoon the last being 18.00.|A taxi back from town is €10.|As stated repeatedly the bus has no air con..|It's about an 8 minute journey, which we found totally acceptable..||We arrived just as lunch was ending, were told by reception room was ready but to leave our bags and go get lunch, which was a pleasant surprise.||Shown to our room, was admittedly a treck, but well worth it, the view from our room was fantastic, and I'd even go as far as spectacular for the sunrises and sunsets..||Room was slightly dated, but had everything we needed, bathroom a nice size, good shower pressure, and yes the water goes over the floor but wasn't our worry..|Air con worked great at no extra cost.|Room was cleaned 3 or 4 times, towels changed numerous times, sheets once.|We didn't use the safe, we had nothing touched.|Never used the TV. |We had data roaming so not sure about the WiFi.|Bed big and comfortable..||Food and drinks..|Typical all inclusive..|Obviously Greek influenced. |The salads were fresh and great, huge choice. |Breads and tzatziki amazing. |Always found lots to choose from every day, my food was hot enough, my partner insists on unimaginably hot so used the microwave..|Water, the usual juices plus coke, sprite etc. |Tea coffee..|At lunch and dinner beer and wine on tap..|Pool bar opened at 10.00, one bar man till 17.00, then shift change for 2 bar men till midnight..|The solo gentleman was at times inundated with guests, so at times you had a wait. |Or, you planned your bar visit, or got 2 or 3 drinks at a time, we never had a problem. |The alcohol is definitely not watered down, tea and coffee machine on the side bar.. |The 2 in the evening worked hard, the taller gentleman gave the bigger measures..|The other bars, one at the long infinity pool and the other at the very top we never visited..|Everything was served in plastic cups from the pool bar, not a problem, obviously this is for 2 main reasons, 1st, glass is definitely going to get broken, 2nd, it's probably the cheapest option..||Sun loungers are plentiful, I thought we might have a problem so took towels down around 8 or 8.30 ish and we were the 1st, every day...|Some are old, but quite a few are new, so we were totally satisfied..||Animation team worked hard, the young lady tried desperately to get me to do yoga, play darts, pool aerobics, beer pong etc..|The bingo and quiz nights were fun..||Shop on site, some things are expensive, someone paid €35 for suncream. |I found the alcohol and cigarettes reasonable priced, my partner bought a pair of sunglasses, reasonable priced..||Spoke to the restaurant manager on the 1st day, said we were pleased with the food and the restaurant in general. |From then on he shook my hand every time, and we sat wherever we wanted..||The whole complex was clean and tended, yes we saw plastic cups and food around the pool area, believe it or not these items were from guests, not local Greeks..|But we're cleaned up ..|Every morning the pool area was spotless..||2 lifeguards around the main pool all day. |The dark haired man was, I believe leaving end of season, so his interest was slightly lacking..|However the bigger blonde man was 100% focused..||So to summarise..|We would definitely return and recommend this hotel..|As so many reviews have said, a little work is needed, but beware as I think this will obviously reflect on the price..|As it was the price was fantastic for the holiday we had...||Thank you all at Aegean View...

On arriving at the hotel late at night the reception looked lovely and welcoming however that warm welcome was short lived several couples were abruptly ordered to follow a member of staff to find our rooms in convoy up a very steep incline with our rooms . The rooms were the best with what can only be described has extremely dated and definitely not of 4*standard there were water stains on everything mould hairs what looked like someone had sneezed in the shower and was stook to the shower wall the toilet seat werent attached correctly and moved constantly to tired from the travel and trek up the huge steep hills and steps to the rooms just climbed into bed and was planning to discuss the hygiene issue with reception the following morning , on waking the following morning was even more unimpressed by the fact it was looking more like this room had just had a quick flick before we arrived as found make up and hair on the bed sheets that werent from us yuck .on raising the issues with reception we was told they would send the cleaner however the only time we had the cleaner for the entire time we were there was to empty the bin no cleaning was ever done one the third day we arranged to go on a boat trip to be away from the hotel and we stayed in kos town for evening meal to avoid the hotel on returning late into the evening we returned to our room completely flooded my luggage and several items of clothing were soaking i made the long trek back to reception to report this and was greeting by a young girl on reception who when faced with a problem looks like a rabbit in headlights she phoned the manager for advise on what she should do and was told to give us a new room a totally unhelpful due to her finishing her shift she passed me the room key and told me to move my things and find security to help find the new room after me and my partner packing and lugging soaking wet luggage around for over half a hr we finally found said security who was to busy to help watching a clip on his phone the morning after i went to reception to hand in our old room key to my surprise the reception was expecting us to return to that room has the water had been cleaned this place is nothing but a dump run by clowns who have no respect for anyone not one person apologied for the damage to our clothes or luggage or offered to help when i asked to speak to management about the terrible week and why no one had document the complaint the management lied to my face and said she was unaware the staff and management find it amusing that people complain and laugh in your face and explain theres nothing you can do about it due to no record of it but also say to you they have a policy of keeping records this place wants shutting down for poor management and hygiene and should be avoided at all cost this was advertised as a 4*all inclusive holiday with ala carte restaurant a spa with indoor pool jacuzzi and snack bar this place has none of these facilities. Everything is mouldy broke or just doesnt exist the shuttle out of there you have to fight your way onto a list the night before and the bus breaks down constantly.

If we had gone by the reviews we wouldn’t have gone. But we took a bit of a leap of faith as the original hotel closed and this was the offered alternative. It wasn’t too expensive so if it didn’t work it wasn’t a major loss. We went through Jet2 and as the transfer slowly when through the different hotels we started to panic as we cycled through some amazing hotels. When we arrived it was late at night. After the night entertainment had finished. And what a great time to arrive, as we dropped the bags into the room we were greeted with the incredible view of Bodrum, lit up across the ocean. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer holiday. The food was amazing. The entertainment/entertainers were welcoming and superb. The kids club was engaging for the kids and the option to sit around the bigger busier pools during the day or the calmer mini pools around your room was ideal. We don’t often visit the same place twice, there’s so much of the world to see. But this may be somewhere we do!

The accommodation is located in a beautiful area and has very nice pools. The rooms were clean and relatively renovated. For its price, the amenities are quite good. The food was fairly good, as was the service. Unfortunately, we noticed that a manager at the restaurant displayed inappropriate behavior toward the staff. It is unacceptable, in my opinion, to treat a young woman in such a manner, especially in front of guests. Despite this, the staff remained polite and professional. This issue should be taken seriously by the management.
