Cook's Club Kolymbia

I stayed here for 5 days in October and had a very enjoyable experience overall. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, with beautifully designed rooms that are both stylish and comfortable. The grounds and facilities were also fantastic, offering everything you could need for a great holiday. They had two huge pools as well as plenty of sun loungers and lots of space to sit and enjoy drinks.However, there were a couple of aspects that fell short of expectations. The breakfast selection, while decent, was not quite what I would expect from a 5-star hotel. It lacked variety and the quality didn’t quite match the high standards set by the rest of the hotel. Additionally, getting the attention of staff to order drinks was challenging at times, which detracted slightly from the overall service experience.Despite these minor downsides, I would still recommend Cooks Club Kolymbia for its gorgeous setting, wonderful rooms, and excellent facilities. With a few tweaks to the service and breakfast offering, it could easily deliver a flawless 5-star experience.

If you are a foodie and appreciate 5 star staff, this is for you.The hotel is luxurious without over doing it. Great decoration and attention to detail.Foodwise, take the half-pension as it includes an amazing dinner every day. The Asian and Italian restaurants pale in comparison to this 5 star food.What also goes perfectly along with the food is the friendly, helpful and skilled staff. Greek hospitality at it’s best.

We stayed 6 nights and had an amazing time! Rooms were cleaned every day and the staff was great!Both restaurants-Italian and Asian, have delicious food and the prices are affordable. Location is good-there is a nice small beach, close to the hotel. Not so much to see or visit around, but there are a lot of rental providers around.

The room was clean and spacious and the room service satisfactory.The breakfast was plentiful and varied.We chose an adults only hotel to get some peace and quiet. We were disappointed. Loud music is blared on loud speakers at the pool side till very late hours making a peaceful night's sleep impossible. This was not made clear before we booked this hotel. The place feels like a restless cruise ship.In general there are design flaws that should not exist in such a newly renovated building1. There is no proper ventilation in the bathroom.2. The indoor breakfast area is extremely loud due to bad acoustic planning.3. The shower water temperature cannot be fixed at something. It is always fluctuating between scalding and cold.4. The outdoor gym equipment is falling apart.It was okay but we would not come back.

The hotel was stunning, but unfortunately quite a few things let it down.1. If you’re wanting a relaxing/peaceful holiday this is not the place, we were placed in the rooms nearest to the pool/social bar and music/entertainment went on until gone 1am and you can hear everything! We would’ve enjoyed our stay a lot more if this wasn’t the case.On the Sunday of our stay there was a ‘ Mexican fiesta’ which we weren’t told about, it involved people singing and a awful DJ in the pool area… people were trying to relax in just feel like this was needed.I understand some people might enjoy this but I think there was a mixture of ages and not everyone is going to enjoy loud club music blaring out until gone 1am! We barely slept the whole trip because of this.2. The grounds are lovely but there isn’t anything to do close by, the beach is about 5 minutes from the hotel which was lovely, we went there to get away from the loud music on a couple of occasions.If you’re wanting traditional Greek cuisine then there isn’t many restaurants that serve this close by.The supermarket is just outside the grounds which was very handy, but due to the location of it being ‘ convenient’ expect to pay the price!3. I felt the service was good but it would’ve helped if the umbrellas/tables had a QR code to order food and drinks from… I think this would help the staff and the customers also avoids staff wandering around trying to find who ordered what.4. Very expensive for what it was, even though the hotel aesthetically pleasing I feel like it’s overpriced, we paid around £1070 for a weeks stay, not including flights and then ended up spending around £500 more whilst staying there, this only included a few alcoholic drinks and a couple of small lunch time meals we budgeted as much as possible but still spent a lot.5. The food was good but nothing special, I also think the outdoor area needs to accommodate more customers, the inside area is huge but no one wanted to sit inside for meals meaning we would wait for a table which wasn’t a massive issue but for a hotel of this size the alfresco dining needs to be bigger.6. The rooms were quite dark and the lighting wasn’t great when you’re getting ready, also the towels never smelt clean they smelt dusty like they hadn’t been washed properly.Overall we had a pleasant stay mainly because of the weather! Wouldn’t come back unfortunately.
