Kipriotis Aqualand Hotel

Lots of people have complained about this place but we had a great time we are even returning next month, the pools were clean and a good temperature, so much there for kids as well as adults, the food was amazing great choice every single night there was something different, the views from the room were lovely, the shuttle bus was there every 10-30 mins to take you down to the bottom the cleaners were so kind, the animation team were brilliant too, seen people moaning about the bar men not everyone has good days, some days they could be a little grumpy but others they were brilliant, would definitely recommend and go again and again!!!!

We visited in September as a family of 4 (children are 3 year old & 7 months old). We did have a lovely holiday but unfortunately there hotel wasn’t as family friendly as we were expecting. To start on a positive - the food was lovely and there was plenty of choice for lunch and dinner. The house wine was drinkable and you help yourself during meal times or order from the bars in between. We were upgraded to a one bedroom family room instead of the studio that we booked, and this worked very well for our family - thank you. The kids club was fabulous. They were very friendly and won over our very shy 3 year old. The bed was very comfy and the Air-con was powerful (maybe a bit too powerful). The cleaners came daily and towels were changed. We had a room overlooking the side of the pool and had a very short walk from to both pools and the restaurant which was very handy with the two kids and pram. We had lots of fun in the pools, but they can be quite deep. The negatives - the room was very run down, things like cracked tiles, missing light shades, rusty taps. We were only given one key which was a pain. To rent a pool towel it’s €10 per towel but it has to be cash, so we ended our holiday with cash that we didn’t need to use. Would have been better if we could have paid the deposit by card of if it was less of a deposit we wouldn’t have had so much cash left over. All drinks from any bar are served in single use plastic cups (!) these are small and blow away in the wind and seem like a real waste. Other AI resorts we’ve been to have upgraded to washable plastic cups which would be better. Reception were quite rude and not very helpful each time we had to deal with them. There are lifeguards on duty the whole time but they seem to do nothing. We saw two near drownings (!) and they didn’t bat an eyelid - one father had to jump in to save his kid and the lifeguard just watched on, didn’t check they were ok etc. the pool area in general is a bit dirty. Shoes were only on the amphitheater twice during the week we were there, other nights it was in the restaurant bar. More shows should have been in the theatre area it’s much better Most staff were friendly but we didn’t have any glowing reviews of anyone in particular like lots of other people have written about. (Apart from the kids club - you’re fab!) Family friendly - they could have done better for babies. We needed to clean and sterilise baby bottles and really struggled, there wasn’t any dishwashing liquid in the room despite there being a kitchenette. I asked at reception hoping they’d have a small sachet but nope. We had to buy some from the shop to clean the bottles. There isn’t a microwave in the room to sterilise the bottles like we normally do, but luckily we took cold water sterilising tablets. Our baby didn’t like the taste it left on the bottles and when we asked if we could use the microwave in the restaurant outside of meal times, we were told we couldn’t (seriously, who wants t

Very lovely lace the kids enjoyed it. We will definitely come back again. The aqua pack was great,the pool were clean, the venue was not crowded and the atmosphere was incredible. We are planning to visite again with our family friends.

We booked this last minute as our holiday to Rhodes was cancelled. We had a lovely room up high with a nice view. It was a one bedroom apartment that slept five and there was three of us so we had plenty of room. View was lovely and fridge was great bonus. If sat on the balcony the noise from the fans from the kitchen below were very noisy. There were not enough glasses provided by five people (luckily there was only three of us) The pool and aqua park were only open 10am-6pm so if you have small kids up early it’s a long wait for them to open. There is no shallow end to the pool it’s all one depth which isn’t the best for smaller children (although there are small kids pools). The water in the pools turned our swimwear yellow. We were told this would wash out but it didn’t. If you have a high floor room don’t expect a shower at 6pm when the pool closes as there is no water pressure. We complained to reception but they said it there was nothing they could do. We were looking forward to using the movie room on a hot afternoon but this wasn’t open. When we asked we were told it should be open in about four weeks but the summer holidays would have been over by then. The minibus up and down to the beach was useful. We used to walk down but catch the bus up. Took the bus to Kos town twice €2pp each way. There are no really shops near the hotel. Food was nice and there was plenty of it but it did get a bit boring by the end of the week.

Visited the Aqualand in August with my wife, our two teenagers and the mother-in-law. Yes, the hotel is dated and in need of a refurb (it was closed for two full years during Covid) with many common areas looking rather tired. And yes, the AI drinks package isn’t great and needs looking at, but it’s what you make of it, and we didn’t have an issue finding some lovely (and deadly) drinks to enjoy! It’s clean, the rooms are spacious and comfy, the food is exquisite, the staff are lovely and will treat you how you treat them (a lot of people tend to forget that!). The aqua park is pretty damn good and kept me and my son entertained for hours!! Special mention to Yiannis the absolute legend who works tirelessly day in day out to shuttle people up and down the hill to the beach and bus stops. Gabi, Mickey, V Boy, Valeria and rest of the animation team work so hard to engage and entertain the guests, they all do a great job and made our stay even brighter! The hotel is well placed for Kos Town with the frequent bus links, well worth venturing down there and booking the 3-island cruise or sunset cruise! Overall, I can’t see where all the negativity comes from. It’s a perfectly decent place, brilliant for young families!
