Sunbeam

5 readers found this review helpful

Just come back from 2 weeks staying at the sunbeam. Although must point out the pics are not correct. I am so sad to be home...Andreas & Co could not have been more welcoming, we got to know him and his family very well - they all can't do enough for you! everything is really cheap the safe is only 10 euros a week. Only hotel in Kardamena on the beach, and he's just won an award for best customer service in the whole of Kos - it's not wonder hes always booked up!!
Perfectly suitable to both families and people wanting to go clubbing
Can't wait to go back!!!!

We had a really fantastic time at the Sunbeam Hotel and the owner Andreas really made our week. He and his staff couldn't have been more helpful, offering local advice on busses to travel to Kos town as well as restaurants to eat in. The meal of the day cooked at the hotel was fantastic and extremely reasonably priced.
If you're looking for a great family owned and run hotel, literally on the beach, with a lively bar and restaurant, free sun beds and a simple but clean room, this is the place to go!
We would definitely go back to Sunbeam again.

Me and my partner have just returned from a 2 week chilled out break from the sunbeam. We had a 2 bedroomed apartment even though they were only 2 of us so it was lovely and spacious. We had 2 balconies one which looked onto the beach and the resturants next door so a lovely view. The apartments were basic like most are in greece but it did have everything you need.
The apartments are right on the beach and you can use the sunbeds for free and we never had any trouble getting one even though we didnt usually come downstairs until after 11. Andrea's who owns the cafe downstairs makes you feel so welcome and is a lovely funny man, even though he owns the cafe you can ask him for advice on where else to eat and he will tell you all the good places, also about where to get good deals on trips and things like that (Also if you catch any fish in the sea he will happily cook them for you). The location is fantastic there are resturants next door a few we ate in and a few minutes walk there are some amazing resturants (Pelagos on the front, posidonia over the bridge past bar street and sun med opposite the cleopatera hotel are the best we found). There are nice quiet bars on the sea front and bar street if you like it lively too! The sea is fantastic and calm with most of it been sand.
If you are considering a self castering holiday in kardamena the sunbeam is the best choice for value and location would most definetly return!

Ive just returned from a week staying in the sunbeam in kardamena and i really cant fault a thing. The people there are all lovely and will always help out if you need it! The appartments go straight onto the beach, which have a section of sunbeds which are free if you are customers of the sunbeam.There is no pool, but it really isnt needed with the sea that close, but all the hotels around allow you to use theirs if you aren't a fan of the beach. There is no aircon there, but with the breeze of the sea we really didnt need it. Bar street is about a 10 minute walk away with lots of restaurants on the way down, which are all really cheap :) I would definately return to the Sunbeam appartments again. The maid comes in every day to empty the rubbish and every other day to clean. It is perfect if you just need a place to stay after a heavy night drinking.

Have just spent a fantastic 2 weeks at the Sunbeam apartments. Perfectly situated next to beach. Far enough away from pubs and clubs but near enough to enjoy if you wish. Andreas the snack bar manager couldn't have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food in the snack bar was delicious and we ate there every lunch time, some breakfasts and even one evening when the football was on!!
There were plenty of people there that return year after year and I can see why. We will be back next year also.
I would recommend it to anyone.

Just got back off holiday, loved the hotel manager! he was amazing with all his guests, the rep was amazing too, rooms where cleaned 3 times while we where there but we only slept in the rooms so we wernt that bothered about that, perfect location on the beach, and very friendly family ran business, i would recommend this hotel to anyone that is wanting a great holiday in kardamena kos.

Our holiday at'The Sunbeam' was one of the best we have ever had!!!The location on the beach was perfect...The apartments although basic (as Greece always has been)was spacious and clean..If I had to pick any fault it would be that the 'bath' towels were a wee bit on the small side.when they were changed,twice in the week, the 2nd lot were larger and more comfortable.(I like to remain in my towel after my shower until I've put on my make up and done my hair)
My husband and I were made to feel very welcome by Andreas and his family,he could not do enough for us,and he was the same with all of the guests as far as we are aware.the food was good and i particularly loved the fresh fruit and greek yogurt which they prepared,it was good for the mornings when I didn't fancy a cooked breakfast,which were also nice.
Our flights were the only bugbear in the whole holiday,especially the return which was bad enough at 5.55am. Again as we weren't getting picked up by the reps until 2-45am,andreas ensured that he left us with some refreshments,which was really going that extra mile....All in all we cannot wait to book up for next year and hope that some airline other than Thomas Cook will be flying to Kos as the timings are just too tiring,especially as there was also a 2 and a half hour delay in our return flight.So Cheers Andreas,see you next year,love Jimmy and Sue xxx

We arrived at the sunbeam hotel late at night, room pretty basic but clean and tidy, rooms were cleaned twice in 1 week didnt think much of the cleaner would proberly re-think her job role bless her.
The location of the hotel was perfect no pool but litually a foot stop and you are on the beach so cant fault it at all. You could also use hotel up road which is very nice too.
The food there was nice and pretty resonable price, as for the manager he was great so nice sunbeam wouldnt be the same without his presence, we had a little trouble with our bank out there they decided 2 stop my card and manager bless him offered to lend cash i didnt accept but thought it was very sweet of him.
If I were to go to Kos again which i plan to again I would definitely go to sunbeam, but most definatily not book with thomas cook, plesae do not do any excusions with your hotel rep as they are double the price, other than that sunbeam great.

For those of you who regularly visit the Costas you will get a bit of a shock when arriving at Sunbeam. The apartment for four us initially seemed small and very basic. However, as we found over the two weeks of our stay we only slept and got changed in there.
The rooms and facilities were clean and the cleaning staff visited on a daily basis. Oyr towels were chnaged three or four times during the two weeks.
The restaurant below was very good for breakfasts, snacks and lunches and for a beachfront location very reasonably priced. Andreas, the manager, was extremely friendly and made our stay very comfortable.
The Sunbeam has it's own small stretch of beach which we thought would be packed out but it wasn't and there was never any need to go down early to 'baggy' a bed. The sea was very clear and surrounding rock areas good for snorkelling.
Sunbeam is situated at the quiet end of the resort but nowhere is more than 5 - 10 minutes away. The beach front restaurants tended to be more expensive but there are some very good ones a little furthar of the beaten track, namely the Sun Mediterranean.
The Kris Marie hotel to the rear of Sunbeam allows the use of it's pool and sun loungers. Again, no need to 'baggy' a bed early there either.
All in all a very satisfactory first visit to Kos. We are already looking in to booking it again next year and will definately try to stay at the Sunbeam again.
