Just back from a weeks stay at the Luis Apartments and I really wouldn't rate them highly at all. They are very basic, and I didn't think that they were that clean. They were positioned well though, and in easy reach of the beach and the village. I found Nikos rather rude and I know that he was unpleasant to another couple while we were there. He is only interested in you as long as you stay in his apartments, tip him well and eat in his cafe every day. Mastihari is wonderful but I personally would not return to the Luis.

We have just returned from Mastihari after 2 fantastic weeks, the apartments were basic but very clean ( Marie did a brill job ). The beach was one of the best we have seen in Greece the sunbeds were only 5euros for 2 beds. Eating out is a real treat plenty of chose from we seemed to settle on the Harama taverna the food was always first class with a wide choose & Alexander the waiter was fantastic
Nikos & all the staff were all very helpful, you must try there English brekkie it's pretty good.
We are going to Kefalos next year but we will be spending some time in Mastichari.

Just got back from a weeks holiday.
Apartments - basic but clean, Nikos the owner is brilliant.
Situated 2 mins walk from the beach.
Plenty of choice for eating out. Would recommend Al Greco & Tasty Palace.
Nice for a quiet holiday - ideal if all you want is pool, beach & tavernas.

Just returned from a great holiday at the Luis. Nicos and his staff are very friendly and the apartments are spotlessly clean.View from our room was beautiful and it was a joy to sit with a drink and take in the view. The swimming pool is kept meticulously clean and there are plenty of sunbeds for everyone. A short stroll from the apartments down a dirt track (shortcut)takes you to the white sand beach. There is a walkway along the beach which leads to the village. Alternatively, you can take a short walk from the front of the apartments down to the village where there are plenty of little travernas and shops to suit everyone. From the harbour you can get a ferry to Kalymnos Island (12 euros return each). Kos Town is about 30/40 mins by bus from Mastahari(a must just to see the harbour and the historical sites). This was our first visit to Kos and our stay at the Luis was memorable. We made many nice friends and will certainly consider returning in the near future. Thank you Nicos for your hospitality (and wonderful coffee!) YAMOS(!)from Stewart and Isabel.

Our second holiday with Luis apartments & cannot fault service from Nikos & Family. Maria the lady who cleaned the apartments is a breath of fresh air - always cheerful and helpful. Accomodation basic but clean & comfortable, set in a very peaceful location. Beach a short walk away with all amenities also nearby.

Just returned from our second visit to the Luis Apartments in Mastichari. Was not disappointed - Nikos and his family and staff are so pleasant - couldn't wish for a better host. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Pool is very clean and well maintaned. Food very good - the BBQ was delicious - the breakfasts were lovely but massive! I asked for half a breakfast one morning and received one with about six less beans than my partner who had a full one!!
All in all a lovely place to chill out and relax - the village is lovely - I have travelled for the last 30 years or so to various Greek Islands and Kos and the village of Mastichari is definitely one of my favourites.
Would definitely go back again.

Just returned from a wonderful fortnight at the Luis. What can we say that has not been said before? Fantastic accomodation - Nickos is a wonderful and genial host - and he was a star in helping me organise a birthday surprise for my partner - that cake was superb!! Also, a mention for our wonderful Room Fairy - she was so cheerful, and the rooms were cleaned and fresh linen supplied every 2 days - she also bought presents for our two children - a lovely thought!!
The room was great for us, with an 11yr old and a 3yr old. We gave them the two beds in the main bedroom, and we had the beds in the kitchen part - as this has the door to the apartment in it. The room is basic - but that is what Greece is about. We don't go on holiday to cook a 3 course dinner - so cooking facilities are not important. And it has to be one of the biggest appartments we have ever stayed in - a definite PLUS with 2 very active kids!!!
The pool was one of the cleanest I have ever seen, and, being less than 2m deep at the deep end, was wonderful, as it meant my partner could touch the floor, while allowing our 3yr old son to have a good swim. Also, the lunches at the pool are great value - good food, and plenty of it!!
As for the resort - WOW!
It is like the Greece I remember from 20 odd years ago - perfect, relaxing, and friendly. No bars pumping out music at all hours, no louts drinking themselves to death, and no scooters bombing about all night!!
The beach, reached by an easy 5 minute stroll, is great, although on windy days, the waves can get a little strong. A little seaweed, but that is not a problem - the water is beautifully clear.
A huge thumbs up to the El Greco taverna on the beachfront - the best kalimari I have ever had - and make sure you try the prawns - they are out of this world! And a HUGE thank you to everyone there for the surprise birthday cake for my partner - it helped complete a great birthday for him.
Also, the bar just nearby - I forget it's name - but the Shirley Valentines are wonderful and great for enjoying as you watch the world go by.
We hired a car for 3 days, to go and see a bit of the island - and would recommend that to anyone. We hired ours through the Rep, through Avis - as safety is paramount - and we were not disappointed - we even got an upgrade!! Anyhow - Kos Town and the Asklepion were spectacular. The water park near Mastihari is great for kids, big & small, alike. Would recommend Therma Springs and Camel Beach too, for visits - if you can face the suicidal drive down to both!! Otherwise walk down - worth the effort. This is where hiring a 4x4 is a bonus - we hadn't, so we just closed our eyes and went for it!!
I went to Kardamena about 8yrs ago, and hated it - this, in contrast, is wonderful. Idyllic, even. If you want pure relaxation, somewhere the kids will have a great time, and where you return home longing to go back again - then this is the place for you. The sunsets are amazing - and sitting watching the sun set as you look across the beach from your dinner table - it is pure magic! The stuff dreams are made of.
We WILL be going back in a couple of years!!!!

Having just returned from two weeks at the Luis Apts with my wife and two kids, I must say we had a wonderful stay. The rooms we're basic (as they are in Greece) but sufficient for sleeping in ! We would have liked a sofa bed in the lounge/kitchen area but apart from that we found our apartment fine. Nikos and co were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We found there to be plenty of places to eat and drink, we especially enjoyed a large beer or two at the Saloon bar each evening before going out to eat. We didn't eat a bad meal but really enjoyed eating at the Seaside restaurant - the food and people were fabulous. We visited Kalymnos on the ferry one day, which for us was very hectic as it was several degrees hotter and we also have a two year old who really needs her afternoon sleep !!! Unfortunately the ferries only run every few hours so we found it hard to keep ourselves amused. We would recommend Mastichari to anybody who wants a relaxed family holiday.
