Fili Apartments

2 readers found this review helpful

I loved tingaki, it was my first holiday with my son abroad. We stayed in the fili apartments, the staff and owner were realy friendly and helpfull, yes the apartments are basic but they are clean and comfortable. The pools are a good size, one for small children, second for splashing and playing (includes small slide) and the third deeper pool for the adults. The meals were realy nice with plently of it, I reccomend the full breakfast and the bbq nights.
I went on one trip bought through the holiday rep to turkey bodrum, i would not recommend this trip, it was alot of fuss and mayhem with a small child, the market was very bizzy and you had alot of attention from sellers, not worth the mayhem for afew bargains! Other travelers booker the three island tour witch they said was brilliant, You can also book trips cheaper from an operater in tingaki centre. Traveling around is easy there are plenty of bike, car, quad and scooter hire shops around, there is a bus stop just a step away from the apartments as is the beach witch you can easily walk to, the shops etc are a bit of a walk but its an enjoyable walk along the view of the beach.
On the whole tingaki is a layed back friendly place to holiday and has something for everyone, am going again in may!

Wanting time to Relax Tingaki is the place to be, Ideal for families and couples looking for a peaceful and quite holiday. Tingaki has one main street with a mixture of bars (Mascots is the place to be)
There is a supermarket 200m away and the same distance to the beach
Paul is friendly and makes you feel welcome 100 percent, bobbi was mint.
Rooms are basic but what do you expect for the price of the hoilday. They are cleaned daily. Fili apartments has good food at reasonable prices.
Also our rep Jamie was great and very friendly helping us solve any problems
Overall I would return any day.

Booked the cheapest late availability holiday allocated on arrival. Fully expected to arrange own accomodation and resort, but couldn't have been better pleased with Tingaki and Fili Apartments.
Some great features of Fili Apartments were:
Our son travelling independently was allowed to stay at no extra charge.
Really well sheltered from strong winds around pool and for outdoor eating.
Choice of 2 balconies at each apartment; again useful for shelter.
Regularly cleaned and well serviced.
Basic but good value meals available at all times.
Really authentic Greek country restaurant next door.
Choice of 2 pools and plenty of sunbeds.
Bikes to rent for an unbeatable 35 euros / week.
Quiet location but very accessible to beach, Tingaki and bus service (to Kos).
Only minor criticism:
A bit too much loud British pop music at times; something a bit more relaxing would have been nice!
But overall wouldn't have swapped for any of the more expensive apartments we could have booked.

The food is the best I have tasted in the whole of Greece. The owner Paul is fun and very accommodating.
The rooms are clean. The beach and nearest supermarket is only 200m away. The resort of Tingaki is 2km away. In Tingaki there is many companies which to loads of trips to other islands. I would recommend the trip to the volcanic island called Nissyros.

I spent 2 weeks at the Fili Apartments- I had a great time, Paul (the manager) and Bobbi were very helpful and always up for a laugh
We had a studio room for 3 which had more than enough space for the 2 of us
The pool area and the bar were always clean and the cleaners worked hard to keep the rooms clean.
I cannot complain about the apartments. The view across the bay from our balcony was great.
We ate at the hotel and were pleasantly surprise in the size and quality of the food for the price (it was cheap compared to the restaurants we ate in)
The only thing I would say that is if you plan to cook in the rooms then you will need to hire some form of transport to go to the main supermarket
I would recommend it, in fact we have already booked to go back in May next year.

We arrived at the Fili Apartments at around 3pm this was a cheap second holiday that we went on without our kids and with our best friends. When we got to our room it was dirty and smelly, the walls where covered in squashed mozi's the shower did not work, there was no hot water and the rust covered fridge sounded like a an old tug boat starting up every 2mins.
We had half a toilet roll and no bin liner to put it in. We made a complaint to Paul the owner and was told that if we wanted more loo roll we would have to purchase it, and the room was cleaned to a good standard and when the sun shines it would heat the water.
Later after a drink the owner had nothing good to say about his guests and constantly complained about how much he got from the tour operators and how if he got more money from them he would do some maintenance.
The rooms were not cleaned and the cleaners did the least amount they could get away with. The whole week we was there the pool was never cleaned and by the end of the week I could see an old plaster a glass and an ice cream wrapper on the bottom along with lots of grime and dirt.
Do not go to the fili. I am not one to normally complain but the whole place could be very nice and the location is superb the beach the town and the Island are fantastic, the fili is let down by an owner that is corroded by greed.

The Fili apartments are lovely and the owner Paul is always nice and up for a laugh. The rooms are very standard for self catering you only have a very few items and will have to pay extra for the air conditioning (5 euro p/d) There is a small mini market a short walk away and you will find a small selection of goods. The beach is again only a small walk away however this part of the beach is only about 5ft wide and for more space and beds you will have to walk about 20ish mins down the road.
The beach is very nice and the water is not to cold either. It took us about 35mins to walk from Fili into Tingaki and that was at an average pace. Here you will find places to eat and drink and a few shops for the women. There is a very big super market at the top end of Tingaki (there Tesco) but make sure you don't have to walk back to Fili it will take up to an hour. You can hire about every mode of transport everywhere. It starts off at a push bike for 2 euros p/d and goes up to a car (Nancy’s car hire small plug) for a brand new car for 40 euros p/d. We hired a moon buggy the first week for a day and this was good fun but found out the next week (when we hired a car) we could have had a brand new full air con car for cheaper (well 5 euros).
We had the car for a day and went round the whole island and saw the best sites and there are lots. Its easy to drive there one main road across Kos in the middle with all other roads leading off it (so easy I even let the misses direct) just watch out for the big holes in the road.
Over all it was a nice holiday (for relaxing) with the 3 pools at the fill and the very cheap food from the bar.
