Tigaki Beach
Greece, Europe
Tigaki
Tigaki lies just a short 15-minute drive from the town centre of Kos in the northern part of the island, right by the 10-km-long stretch of white sandy beach. The shallow waters of the area make this hotel ideal for kids and an easy place where they can learn to swim and have fun in the waves. Build in the middle of a beautiful and well-tended garden it is a true sanctuary for a relaxed and tranquil family vacation. After spending the warm summer days at the beach or around the onsite swimming pool, guests can enjoy a delicious meal at the onsite restaurant or head to the beach tavern for some evening entertainment. The little guests can play in the special playground or enjoy the water at the separate children's pool.

Don’t do it
PLEASE heed all the bad reviews of this hotel and don’t think people are just complaining and just moaning about every little thing, we read all the reviews and there is always a mixed bag, but sorry to say but it was all spot on. Everything about the hotel was aimed at German guests. They are rude and arrogant, and need to take control of their children and not allow them to run wild all over the hotel and pick food from the buffet, take a bite and put it back. Arrived at hotel around 12.30am and was greeted by a lovely man who checked us in and directed us to the bar area for food and a drink. The only thing we ate was the bread roll as the food was German inspired (the cheese was stuck to the plate and everything else was dry). The room was very clean, but the shower needs an overhaul. The beds are very hard and the sheets are very scratchy. There is no kettle with tea/coffee facilities, and no iron in the room. Now the food, there is no choice, same every morning, lunch and dinner time, and again is catered for the Germans. All inclusive it most definately is NOT ! The "cocktails" are only available between 6pm and 11pm. Don't even bother they are very poor. The wine and beer is available from 11am but is all watered down and again poor. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and clean. The pool has a few sharp edges that scratched our feet. The TV only has one English Channel (BBC News). There is no entertainment of any sort, anytime of the day, not even music playing in the background. The hotel has some sun loungers on the beach but you have to pay €15 for 2 beds, per day. We came for 11 nights and have eaten out for 9 of them, if you like pork your in luck. The staff are friendly enough. Due to lack of no entertainment we went into Tigaki, but again it is very limited . This hotel is definitely not a 4* and should not be allowed to be sold as an All Inclusive.
Not a bad hotel
The hotel is in a nice quiet location it’s just outside the village most likely 5 mins walk. the new block of the hotel is very modern, rooms are clean and bed are ok. Air con was amazing. It has 2 massive pools which were clean plenty of sun beds but get up early to reserve one otherwise they will be gone. The hotel mainly caters for German visitors so the food is a little German but it was good and tasty. You can only get beer and wine until 1800 which is a pain if you don’t like beer or wine. The only negative parts are the beer situation, you can buy a gin and tonic if you want other wise you have to wait till 1800, it’s beer or wine. The hotel seems to have very few staff which means there are cues for the bar sometimes and it caters mainly for German tourists. The bar closes at 2300 and you can’t get all inclusive drinks after that. If you want another drink you have to buy it. Sometimes however if they want they will service you after 11 but it depends what side of the bed the bar man got out of The staff seem very stretched and there don’t seem to be many of them so expect to que for the bar at busy times.

ALL INCLUSIVE DRINKS ARE ONLY 6pm-11pm INCLUDING ALCOHOL
Staff friendly enough, the walls are stupidly thin, so you can’t sleep much because of toddlers screaming and constant stomping. Limited options in general for food, so we ate out every day. We attempted to make a complaint about noise as it was 4am and we couldn’t sleep due to people screaming, we were then passed onto 6 members of staff that couldn’t understand us in the slightest, so nothing was done about it. It never declared while booking that the all inclusive for alcoholic drinks are only from 6pm-11pm!? When we complained they had no idea what we were saying and were visibly annoyed. The only drink options were wine and beer, in which both were disgusting and watered down. When the other drinks are available from 6pm they were vile. I am being generous with this 2 star review
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
2 star at best ! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Take notice of all the poor reviews of this hotel and dont think oh they are just moaning about every little thing, I did exactly that and regret it. Everything that was noted as poor in the reviews was absolutely spot on. Everything about the hotel was aimed at German guests, who may I say are the rudest most arrogant people I have ever come across. So back to my own experience. Arrived at 1am greeted by a lovely gent who pointed us straight to the bar where they got us a drink and had a small plate prepared for us (German inspired obviously) which was great. Got to the room no air-conditioning the room was 32 degrees we were offered a fan ! Let's say we didn't sleep much that night. The following morning they sent an engineer to the room who proceeded to tell me it was working when it wasn't. Fortunately for us he stuck his fingers into the unit and exploded the fan housing meaning they had to get us a new room. The rooms are very dated but clean. The beds are hard and the sheets are like cardboard. The bathroom had a bath with a leaky shower over it. The hotel itself is clean but very dated and if this can be sold as a 4 star hotel, then my garden shed is 3 star. The food was ok, that's it ok, lacking in choice and catering for the Germans again. All inclusive it most definately is NOT ! The "cocktails" are only available between 6pm and 11pm. Don't even bother they are very poor. The wine and beer is available from 11am but is all watered down and again poor. The staff are friendly but to be honest I dont pay for the staff I pay for a nice room and good food and drink. Got none of either. Avoid if you are expecting 4 star !!!!
Very disappointed 😕
I read the reviews after booking this hotel but was determined to prove the poor reviews wrong and be pleasantly surprised.. We are a smiley , chilled out family and always look on the positive side… I was really hoping to write a 5 star review and have such lovely things to say about the hotel , sadly we can’t !!! Firstly the hotel is beautiful, location great and the hospitality of staff is amazing, On check in our room was spacious and clean but once i opened the wardrobe the smell hit us , it was disgusting , there was no way we were unpacking our new holiday clothes in there ! We requested a change , but only a couple of rooms were available spaced apart which wouldn’t work with our large family, we decided to stick it out !! Day 5 the shower curtain fell onto my head , the room was Desperately in need of refurbishment !! The food was basic , ok but very repetitive so we decided to eat out every night , an added expense but worth every penny as the local restaurants are amazing, The all inclusive part is a word that shouldn’t be used , you can’t have cocktails till after 6 and they stop at 11 , and if you want certain ones you have to pay !! Also ice coffee and ice cream is only available at certain times and again very limited spirits after 6 ! The wine is awful and the beer is really weak. We loved Tigaki and would definitely come back here but this hotel is only good for a central base , not an all inclusive hotel, it shouldn’t be allowed to be called that ! We still had an amazing time but had to spend so much more money because of its rubbish all inclusive package , please avoid if you’re planning on staying in the hotel, there is no atmosphere full of miserable people that needed reminding they were on holiday ! The poor staff are amazing though and deserve praise .. I sadly wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all ..
