Holiday Village Atlantica Kos

Thought I'd leave a review following endless searching of reviews for our family holiday this year! We attended holiday village kos 1st-14th may 2018. My partner, 2 year old son and myself. I no how difficult it is trying to find that perfect holiday to suit parents and children. I'll start with the only one negative thing about the whole holiday! The flight times - arriving late and late departure - although searching holiday this year there's not many decent flight times to suit a now 3 year old! The transfers and check in on the other hand made this inconvenience easy to deal with. The holiday was fantastic! Perfect for our little family. The rooms are modern and clean although not the largest. A room with double bed and bunk beds was plenty of room for us. The rooms are in bock throughout the hotel grounds but not too large that our 2 year old struggled to walk the distance to the pools. 4 pools. The main pool is huge with 2 small paddling pools attached down the far end. The reps do daily quiz and sing and dance around this around lunch time. There is a snack truck down one and and the buffet restaurant, snack bar and drinks bar close to the main end. The shop, gym and toilets are close by to this also. There is a quiet pool which we often stayed clear of with a 2 yo! And didn't even realise it was there until a week into the holiday. There's a great kids pool with slides, buckets (my little boy hated these but was happy to paddles around the water). Then an activities pool which is close to the kids clubs, aeroal adventure and evening entertainment - I remember some reviews saying about the steps into the evening entertainment I dangerous - I personally found this useful having a boistress 2yo boy knowing he couldn't go too far while dancing away on the dance floor. The drinks are good and we found no additional charges for any drinks that we wanted. The food was great! Anything you could ask for for breakfast - full English with back and streaky bacon! Fresh cooked friend poached eggs, boiled scrambled eggs, loads of pastries, fruit, continental, cereals, yogurt, pancakes. Lots of selection of teas (english breakfast tea, fruit teas) coffees and juices. Snacks throughout the day salads, sandwiches, toasties, nuggets, fish fingers, burgers, hot dogs, chips, fruit, ice cream etc. Buffet restaurant open for lunch and dinner with everything you could ask for, kids section always with usually pizza pasta carrot cucumber sticks etc. Always a choice of numerous meats, some cooked freshly on the grills, pasta, potato, rice, veg, salads, cheese, crackers, some tasters of Greek dishes salads lots of feta and olives etc plenty of choice of deserts again some Greek sweets to try. No complaints! Entertainment team were amazing. My son tried some stay and play sessions but didn't stay for full creche. He thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment with the widgets and games singing and dancing - he called the team widgets too and still performs the moves to the dances now! We also enjoyed the acts the tram put on along with a couple out of house acts - magician etc. We got the bus into kos town for a day out which was lovely! Cheap and not too far to travel. We also hired a car from the hotel, We walked into marmari one day to check his prices but hotel cars were just as cheap. We took a drive to paradise beach - not overly wowed but a trip out (we got lost in the mountains which was scary but fun). Also back to now town for the evening and did an evening in zia (would definitely recommend going for the sunset and lovely little shops). Hotel shop is handy but not the cheapest. There is a supermarket in marmari and some shops selling inflatables which are cheaper than hotel shop but depends if you want the walk back carrying the large inflatables (we managed fine). Out the front if the hotel is the beach which has a lovely sunset 😍 there is also a beach bar with all your drinks alcoholic and sit, bottles of water slush all included in all inclusive. 2 a la carte restaurants we also tried and were lovely. Great starters mains and desserts! We have been debating to go back this year as were worried other HV may not live up to this one. However have decided to split the holiday with a week at HV Tenerife 🤞 and a week to a villa with friends in Majorca. Will defiely review HV Tenerife!

This was our second visit to HV Kos. We were a party of 20 (5 family’s) and travelled at the beginning of September 2018 for one week and the weather was just fabulous! We had no trouble getting sun beds near each other around the pool, and we didn’t need to reserve any at silly o clock in the morning! The grounds are well kept and spotless. Food still as good as last time, plenty of choice and a different theme each evening in the main restaurant. Had a partition room, which was spacious, modern and clean. Animation team did an amazing job! There were 9 children with us, ranging from age 1-10. And each and every one of them were occupied through out the holiday. Kids club was fantastic, the chocolate party was a big hit with my lot! The kids enjoyed taking part in all of the activities....high ropes, climbing wall, raft building, zorbing etc.... they also loved taking part in the ‘sblash bingo’ which was around the activity pool everyday. The reps were just so hard working, and you could tell they loved their job!! I can also Highly recommend the swimming academy, my son learnt so much from 5 lessons, He’s now so confident in the water. Beautiful beach across the road, sea was warm. Unfortunately this time it was quite windy while we were there so we didn’t spend as much time on the beach. Also lovely to go on to the beach in the evening while the sun is setting ☀️ Another fantastic holiday had by all! Thank you HV Kos.

I loved everything about this hotel except the evening entertainment. I didn’t hate it but it was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the hotel which was exemplary i feel this needs improvement.
