I spent 5 night here with my husband at the end of September, the hotel had a wonderful chilled vibe. There are two pools, one is more quiet and the other has a resident DJ, which we preferred, it wasn't too loud it was just the right mix. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded so we had a beautiful, large room over looking the mountains one side and the pool the other. Breakfast was lovely it was a buffet service and there was everything you would want from healthy fruit and seeds to fried breakfast. The same restaurant was used in the evening but was table service, a set menu of which you had a choice of 4 courses, Starter was set but the aperitif and main you had a choice of two then a pudding or various ice creams. All of the food was excellent. The town was a 15 minute walk from the hotel and there was a small beach about 5 minutes and a small supermarket on the corner. I would have given 5 stars but my only 'gripe' was we hired a quad bike through the hotel as we wanted to explore for the day, we went to Rhodes and walked around Old Town which I have to say is a must! However, the Quad Bike cut out on us 5 times, 3 whilst on motorway, Fortunately we had no incidents, however, we did cut our exploring short as the finial time on the motorway we had no where to pull over and very nearly had a collison. On arrival back at the hotel I informed them and they did not seemed phased or bothered by this which I was quite disappointed about. For a service they are promoting I'd had thought they would have been more concerned, I told them the Quad cut out multiple times, the display (speedometer) went dead multiple times and generally the Quad was in poor condition. They kind of shrugged her shoulders and said I can call them, let them know if you want very unapologetically. We didn't hear anything back from them. So this would be my only grip other than that Hotel was lovely
Overall a great stay. The design of the hotel with its earth tones was really soothing and added to the chill vibe the hotel has. I booked a suite which was nicely designed and lovely colours. Thr bathroom was a little smaller than expected but everything really was awesome and the bed so comfy
I was given a lovely bottle of fizz on arrival it was white so needed chilling so when I asked for ice and ice bucket I was told I would have to pay 5 euros which reduced the percieved value of the gesture
The pool is really big and great for swimming - there’s actually two pools so never gets crowded
The food was fantastic the sea bream!!! And breakfast was great lots of variety and good quality
The only bit was I couldn’t get a decaf americano with oat milk every day (10 days) it was wrong or different so I think the staff need training)
The reception staff were great and friendly
The cocktail bar lady in the pool bar at the big pool was really miserable every interaction, I’d have spent more money on drinks round the pool but she put me off - I would have to walk to the bar she would give me a filthy look tell me she would send the pool barman to where I was seated to take my order then I would walk
And wait. Another time I asked the pool bar guy for a drink as he passed my sunbed he said I had to go to the bar to order
I was in block six and the music from the bar was so pound between 9-11 it would pulsate in my room which I found annoying
The gym was really good lots of equipment for a full body workout
In summary excellent decor, food, atmosphere and rooms and cleanliness slightly impacted by the attitude of a couple of grump staff the rest were great and super helpful
I had a lovely experience at Cook’s Club Kolymbia, with a special thank you to Emmanuel Sarikas from the Guest Experience team.
I really appreciated the room upgrade and the thoughtful amenities they were lovely touches that made me feel welcome. The team also organised my transfer, making the arrangements easy and convenient.
What stood out most was how heard and valued I felt. My requests were acknowledged, communication was clear, and the team were very prompt in responding and helping with the arrangements.
Thank you, Emmanuel and the team, for your warmth, attentiveness and care. These personal touches made the experience feel special, and I would happily return.
Honestly? Not worth the hype at all. It’s catered more for influencers. Aesthetically it is a lovely looking hotel but there have been so many issues, not worth the money! Some reception ladies are very blunt and rude, we’re not sure why as they’re really nice to people infront of us and were nice at check in, the minute we wanted to check details about the bus, what time does the bar close and other things, they were barely giving an answer and they kept telling me to speak up as my voice is a little bit quiet but very rudely they were saying it infront of people which made me feel awful.
The breakfast is lovely, decent spread of english and continental but there is ZERO system!! You just walk in and take whichever seat, hope the staff see you and realise you’re a new table and they get you a glass of water. If not, you have to either flag them down constantly or go up to the middle and get your own cutlery and ask for a drink that you’ve paid for as included in breakfast. Multiple mornings we had no water and no drinks for ages, we had to keep asking multiple staff but every other table seemed be served fine, yet again this made us feel awful as we had no idea why this kept happening and why we had to keep asking staff for our drinks that they forgot.
After this, there isn’t a very clear list or notice of entertainment? There’s barely any here at all and it’s very VERY quiet most nights, the food at the cantina is nice and we heard 1 singer at the bar near the asian restaurant but nothing else was going on. Chefs are nice and room service staff are nice too.
Major major issue has been the CLEANING. My god. So unless you tell them, nobody will clean or too uo your room. We had the please clean light on and nothing was done and no towels changed. The cleaning cart was left outside our room every day outside the window to the bathroom so the smell from the rubbish left on the cary was god awful. the cleaners were very loud every morning on the phone, woke us up at 6:30am which is very annoying just talking directly outside our door? We raised the cleaning issue and the smell as well as taking photos of the cleaning bottles always left by the door but nothing was done and we were told to simply check back tomorrow if there’s another room available.
No iron, no kettle in the rooms. We asked at the front desk if they had an iron and were told no, walked past the next day to the reception lady saying yes we do have an iron to another couple? So be wary as no room has robes even though they state they do, no iron, no kettle in any rooms.
The stay overall was just standard, nothing 5 star about it. Pool beds get taken quickly, if its raining then they keep letting people in the cantina for breakfast and you’re stood waiting for ages for someone to finish and when you’re eating you’re not even enjoying it as they want the tables free for the people standing around. Nobody tells you what to do on the first day for breakfast unless you ask like is it any seat? How do drinks work etc. Trying to get a second drink at breakfast is impossible, not worth the money you pay for a buffet breakfast and drinks
There is no spa, only at the sister hotel next door at Casa Cook. Gym is small and outside but it was okay to use. Lots if cats which are all friendly. Bar staff are okay, the iced coffee is very watery and be sure to ask for sugar syrup as they will serve it without otherwise and trying to flag someone down for a fork or another spoon is genuinely a mission.
Overall we would not stay here again, it’s not the place to truly relax and you are heavily judged or spoken to differently depending on which staff member you get. Nothing was screaming 5 star here. Also, the tv channels and tv is poor. just 8 random channels and 1 bbc news europe channel. Other ones were in greek, german and arabic which is fine if something showed with an english subtitle film, but the tv kept losing signal too.
Nice little taverna a few mins walk away with good food, supermarket round the corner which helps with drinks, snacks, toiletries too as there are only shampoo, conditioner and body wash here. Considering what you pay, you don’t get anything extra apart from slippers and a mini fridge which you can put a few drinks in.
Bed was just two single beds shoved together which wouldn’t stay in place if you toss and turn. Pillows were okay, they and the bed sheets were a little rough and not very soft but it depends what you like. If people are on the balcony next door, the walls and doors are not enough, you can hear their full conversations which doesn’t help at 1am-3am when you try and sleep
View from the room was just a plain wall outside the balcony, not lucky with the room choice unfortunately, could see the pool if i looked over the balcony to the right side. Outside the door, were the mountains which was nice.
It’s not worth the price and we would not stay here again. The smell outside the room was god awful of sewage and it would come in our room daily as the door has a small gap underneath, not tightly sealed at all, and when we raised this to staff, there was nothing done to help. We really did not feel at ease, comfortable or overall happy with the stay here and would not recommend it unless you’re an influencer or you’re more about the aesthetics instead of the actual stay itself.
i have very nice week here! its very nice hotel with nice person !! the staff its amazing! and also the managers stefan and aimilio! am coming back soon
