Corali Hotel

I will start with positives Clean well maintained grounds Beautiful area Food hall staff amazing job Room cleaners amazing job Grounds people amazing job But do not bother with all inclusive as not worth the money. Alcohol is limited to cheap wine ,beer ,ouzo ,rum local, cognac ,no vodka or gin ! Snacks … what snacks unless you have a sweet tooth and like artificial cream puddings don’t expect anything else as it’s not included . Breakfast lunch and dinner, food was edible just very lacking in taste and change every day ,we ate out a lot, taking away the purpose of an all inclusive,I am not a fussy eater but no thank you. The beds in this place were so hard you may as well be sleeping on a concrete floor, my back still hasn’t recovered. I have limited mobility with my hip ,had to climb into a bath to shower everyday ,floor soaked when shower was used they had put a drain in the floor but still very dangerous. The worlds smallest bath once stood couldnt turn to clean as no room , but shower was very powerful which I liked. The pools need a clean slippery underfoot when you go into the pool and sides of pool have green on them where water reaches. Check out was a joke they take back there all inclusive band our flight was late evening they said we could use shower facility to clean up as they were fully booked so we couldn’t keep our room. No lock on shower room door , shower head broken so showered from the hose cold water not the best ! Overall extremely poor experience for an all inclusive save your money to eat out cheaper and much nicer food and alcohol.

Set in beautiful gardens in a quiet spot near Tigaki, we had a one bed family air con apartment with fridge and a hob which was spacious. Andy v friendly and helpful on our night time arrival, with sandwiches, fruit and drinks for us too. Requested a pool view, so fantastic view/ location for popping back for drinks/snack, with a double balcony overlooking the beautiful pool area. Plenty of beds and shade and loved the greek food from the snack bar. & ice creams! Mini market on site too. We went half board and the buffet selection was great, aswell as the usual cereal/hot foods there were cakes, every dried fruit imaginable, greek yoghurt (and strawberry!), fruit salad, fresh fruit and a hot sweet treat- the pancakes were superb! Coffee machine too, kids loved the creamy choc and juices. Dinner was similar, with a dozen salads of diff types- feta, tuna, pasta, cous cous, etc and a good choice of meats, chips/potatoes and hot veg. Being veggie there were one or two choices per night, although please could the Hotel LABEL the veggie options, as sometimes hard to tell!! Last night was the only one with no veggie hot meal, but the Manager of the restaurant was apologetic when she realised. Staff work tirelessly to clear the tables and keep it stocked and spotless. Only negative is the price of drinks - 2.80 euros for a tiny Fanta is extortionate, if you're not all inclusive. A 25 min walk to Tigaki, or 8 euros by cab/7.20 by bus for four of us. Lots of shops, supermarkets and watched the footie at Memories bar- v friendly, could bring your own snacks. Sunbeds at the beach 26 euros for four beds/two umbrellas with wi-fi, charging and a safe box! The donut man is a must- 3 euros for massive donuts, a great character!! Booked Tigaki tours Island Tour- Mariana was a brilliant guide to Ascepelion, Zia- so pretty, lovely shops and cafes, springs, then a huge tasty lunch overlooking Kefalos bay. Finally the traditional Greek house and windmill (you pay for entry to Ascepelion and the house/windmill)- well worth the money and a great day out. Similarly the 3 Island boat tour- Pserimos is one of the most beautiful beach bays I've been to, the sponge factory, train ride and meal in Kalymnos was great and finally jumping off the boat by Plati island into the clear sea! Our guide,Elizabeth, was a real character, full of life and humour. I'd definitely recommend Hotel Corali, will be back one day {;0)

Amazing hotel, clean and very quiet. The rooms are a bit outdated, but still very nice and cozy. The restaurant has a standard buffet, with fresh fruits and vegetables, the food was good but I personally was a big fan of the deserts! There are two pools, one with amazing, delicious food (you should try their gyros) and another one full with great offers and delicious cocktails! We preferred the pool near the reception (nice music and no children). Alexandra is a gem. Me and my partner spent some time at the bar, and she’s such a nice person. Always smiling, ready to help or give info about the island and best places to visit. Her cocktail menu is unique (we tried almost all of them but pink flamingo and passion coconut are a must try) Kos itself is a very beautiful island full of history. I’m a fan of Ancient Greece and Kos tickled my fancy just right! We will definitely come back to Corali! The only con is the location but the taxis are pretty cheap and there’s always the commute bus down the road.

This was our 5th visit to Tigaki in Kos this year, and we left booking late this year so choice was limited on what was on offer. Although the Corali is a bit further out than we were used to, we hired bikes which made the trip to the beach about 10 mins long. The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean, bed made almost daily and the domestic staff were friendly and helpful. towels changed frequently and bathroom was clean When we arrived there was an issue with the fridge, and as my medication has to be stored there I explained this to the staff and they changed it the following day which was brilliant. Likewise an issue with the air conditioning unit was sorted out immediately. We stayed B&B and the breakfast had so much choice and was tasty and generous. So there is much to like about the Corali. However… The one thing that put me off staying there again was the receptionist Irina. I’ll be honest here, I found her cold, patronising and rude. When we arrived we had asked if we could have an upper floor room, we had emailed before hand three times and it was on the third time we got a response, when we arrived we asked if it was possible and we were flatly told no, a little bit rudely I thought. I completely understand that this isn’t always possible but would expect a politer response as we had been responding politely. We also asked if we could have our room for extra time, as we had a late flight, we were told to ask on the afternoon of the day before we left to check if that was possible, which is fine but we were there for two weeks, so we forgot and asked on the day before we were supposed to. So I was quite shocked by the rather patronising response by Irina of “ I have ALREADY told you, you need to ask tomorrow” it was cold rude and unnecessary and would suggest a customer service course wouldn’t go amiss. We felt that 50 euros to keep the room on was excessive and not what we would normally pay. So a great stay but marred by the customer service.

Had a lovely week in the sun with my daughter and grandson,the hotel was very accommodating as I have arthritis in both hips so requested a room with a disabled bathroom which was provided however when I went to use the disabled toilet next to the reception I got told off as I didn’t “look disabled “do not judge a book by its cover all disabilities are not visible.All in all we had a very good time rooms were clean however my grandsons bed was covered in ants towards the end of our week so we had to ***** it and spray it .The pool was lovely and we found a good selection of food but it’s my policy not to return as I like to try different hotels and islands.

We stayed as a party of 6, 3 children and 3 adults. On arrival at 2am we received a sandwich, apple and a water. The rooms were basic but clean, they were cleaned 6 days a week. Our room was difficult to have a shower as a shelve had been put in the way of getting under it properly. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. The staff were friendly, especially Irena on reception but the chef who was out front in blue everday was quite rude, he was the only one who let the team down. The food was very hit and miss, no real choice for the children. We got told pancakes were on 3 times a week but we had to ask for them and had them 1 morning out of 8. The hotel is up a dirt road which takes about 10 minutes to walk down. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the road which takes you to Tingaki 1.8€ or to Kos Town 2.1€. To walk into Tingaki takes a good 25 minutes taking into account the heat and having children with you, also anyone who struggles with mobility like myself wouldn't be able to do that walk there very often. A shuttle bus was advertised but when we asked they knew nothing about it, so we are taking it up with the travel company. 2 nice pools and plenty of sunbeds. Mini Market on site was cheap enough. Overall nice relaxing stay but location would put me off staying again.

The Corali Apartments pool bar staff are fantastic, Popi makes the tastiest Gyros Pittas (only €3.60) and Albano and Niovi keep the cold drinks flowing with a warm customer service, while families enjoy the pool which takes the edge of the 34 degrees sun. A great holtel, we'll be back.

Me and my family enjoyed our time at Hotel Corali, the grounds were lovely and the two pools were both nice. The Rooms were basic but very clean and were attended to daily by the maids, they were also fitted with two air con units that worked sufficiently. The all inclusive food is very limited and not of the best quality, I found it ok. However my partner and kids were not so enamoured and struggled to find meals they liked. The drinks range is also limited and the soft drinks are clearly watered down and not of a great taste. I strongly recommend more options for both food and drink. It was adequate though. There is a beach around 5-10 minutes walk away, which is ok, however you’ll need to walk a bit further to be closer to amenities and to have loungers available. The walk does not have a pathway and you need to walk along the road to get to it. There is a pleasant town of Tigaki fairly close, however it’s 20 minutes + walk and difficult with kids, realistically it’s a cab ride or bus which are both around 8 euros each way and getting the cab back can consist of a lengthy wait and they don’t accommodate more than 4 people very easily. Another recommendation would be to offer a free shuttle bus taking you to the beach and town, it would go a long way for your customers. In hind sight we would have rented a car. Kos town is a 20 minute cab ride and is beautiful and highly recommended to visit, I also recommended the 3 island boat excursion, that departs from the Kos marina. I would like to add that the staff at Hotel Corali are very friendly and we requested twice for them to do pancakes in the morning for my kids as they love them and they twice obliged. These were very popular with other guests as well so I recommend you do these once or twice a week. Overall, if you are on a budget, I would say it’s worth staying here.

The hotels grounds and area is stunning but do not go all-inclusive as the food Is very basic,and only 3 small options 1 of them being pasta, no snacks allowed and only there beer no spirits and a vodka and coke will cost you 7euro,,really need to improve there all-inclusive, kos town 20min bus ride is a definite, we spent most days there,beautiful food cheap drink and a stunning view.
