Apollon Windmill Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

If you appreciate smaller, service-minded boutique hotels, this place is a true find. Our double room with a private garden and sunbeds was spacious, spotless, and had great amenities—including powerful water pressure in the shower and a whisper-quiet AC. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, with eggs cooked to order by the chef and strong, excellent coffee to start the day right. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful—especially Cindy at the front desk, who went above and beyond with recommendations for local restaurants, excursions, and more. The location was ideal: bike rentals, a supermarket, and beautiful Mylos Beach were just minutes away. It was also an easy 10-minute bike ride to Kos Town The pool area was calm and relaxing (adults only) after the beach. Lots of sun beds & umbrellas.

Returned on the 9th July from the Apollon Windmill Hotel. Really enjoyed our week there. We asked for a small hotel with no loud music at the pool and that's what we got. The rooms were spotless and the cleaners cleaned them thoroughly every day. Not just a quick wipe down. The reviews were correct about not having to reserve sun beds. We walked into the town one morning, and got back to the hotel after lunch, and there were still sunbeds free. You do have to pay 2 euros for a towel. Up to you whether or not you change them every day. We took our own and as we did not go to the beach, but stayed by the pool each day, they didn't get grubby, and soon dried on the balcony. The safe was free to use, as was the fridge in the room. Found all the staff to be very friendly, especially the reception staff. As with previous reviews I'm also not sure why the shower doors haven't been made to go all the way round, and yes the water did splash onto the floor a bit, but we got used to that, and just wiped the bath mat over it when we had finished showering. This was changed every day, as were the towels. We did hear a few complaints when we were there about the all inclusive dining, so I'll explain how that works. We asked specifically for an adults only hotel. Because of this, the agent in Tui only offered us half board which we were happy to accept. The reason for this is that if you book all-inclusive, at lunchtime and evening you have to walk to the sister hotel, The Apollon, for your buffet food meals. Distance was nothing. Just a short walk through the gardens. However, that hotel is a family hotel and not, adults only. We overheard a couple of guests state they hadn't been informed of this. We hadn't been offered all-inclusive, so it didn't affect us. If you are half board your evening meal is at the Apollon Windmill. It is a set menu, not a buffet menu which you have at the sister hotel. The food was excellent and perfectly cooked. We did ask if the menu was changed each week but was told no, so if you are fussy eaters and didn't like several dishes on the menu, that might be a problem. Breakfast for everyone was at that hotel though. There was a lunchtime menu to have by the pool serving the usual burger, hotdog, club sandwich etc. After the 1st day, my husband and I were having 1 meal between us. Not to save money, but because they were so big, we just couldn't eat 1 each. Would definitely stay here again. If all you want is a quiet relaxing week, then it's an ideal hotel. We hired a car for the day and saw most of the island, stopping at a couple of towns, some beaches and then drove through the scenic mountainside. Well worth doing. Also, caught a ferry over to Bodrum, Turkey. We hadn't pre-booked this, just asked at the harbour and then booked online on our phone. Cost 33 euros per person. Half an hour on the boat, and there is a huge market to walk around when you get there. It's not a flea market, and neither is it particularly cheap there,

We had a lovely week at this hotel. Excellent and varied breakfast buffet with flexibility to sit either inside or outside. The hotel is exceptionally clean and the daily room cleaning was of a high standard with frequent clean towels provided. Towels also available for the pool. It did not feel overcrowded, with plenty of space to sit around the pool. Pool bar a little expensive, but a good range of drinks available. Lambi Beach is just a 5-10 minute walk across the road. Also an easy 25 minutes walk into Kos Old Town to explore the harbour, restaurants and shops. I would consider returning to this hotel.
