" Cosmos Lardos Rhodes "
Submitted By: Nidgit
We had a first class holiday, the food was excellent and the room was comfortable and very clean, the staff could not be more helpfull. The entertainment was adequate, not over the top or too loud, catering for all age groups staying at the hotel. I recommend the Greek night, the food was fantastic and the dancing superb as well as fun. The area surrounding the hotel was safe and friendly with good beech access and very good shops all within a 5 minute walk.

" Wonderful hotel, run by George and... "
Submitted By: Mr Steve Worby
Wonderful hotel, run by George and his family, lovely people. If you want noisy games and constant entertainment, then its not for you, but if you want a quiet relaxing holiday with a lovely pool, and everything close at hand, then it is exactly the place for you. The rooms are cleaned regularly, in fact the place is kept spotless, and you can always get a good nights sleep as it all goes quiet after one, hotel is situated in the quieter part of Lardos, but not too far from livelier center, and only a short taxi ride from Pefkos where you will find lots of bars and restaurants. We love the place and have already booked up for June 2009.

" A recommendation for food. Having... "
Submitted By: Mr J Lodge
A recommendation for food. Having visited Nydri many times and been disapointed with the standard of food in the restaurants....at last we have found a cracker. At the very end of the Marina (next to the Ionian restaurant) you must try Ivari. Run by an English lady and her Greek husband, the traditional food is very high quality, and only slightly more expensive than the other eateries. Do not be put off by the decor, once you have eaten there you will go back!

" My family have been going to the... "
Submitted By: Mrs Christina Bevens
My family have been going to the Cosmos Maris for the last 8-9 years and would not go anywhere else for a week or 2 of relaxing in the sun.
We love it so much that out of the years we have gone to the Cosmos Maris up to 3 times a year. We love it so much that we actually had our wedding vows renewed on our 10th wedding anniversary in 2003. Georgina, Lukas and Maria along with all our friends in Lardos came along and made our specialday even more so.
Our daughter learned to swin in the pool at the Cosmos and it is so safe that my daighter and i have even gone on our on in the height of the season when it is too hot for my husband. He had no worries at all about us because he knows what a safe place it is.
To escape the stress of the Uk, I would not go anywhere else. And just to say, I am not a person in my older age, I am actually 36 and we started coming to the cosmos when I was 27 and my daughter was only 4. It can be whatever type of holiday you want. If you want to go clubbbing, you have Lindos on 10 mins away by car. If you want a traditional Greek experience ,then go into the Village of Lardos on an evening, especially at the end of the season when they have a big village party where all the local children from the dance schools dance in the village square.
If you want to get away from civilization then the west coast of the island is your best route.
Whatever you want from your holaiday , the Cosmos is the best base you can have.
We have seen Georgina and Angelos' son George married to Irene and the birth of their first child, Vangelos.
Over the years, the family has a great way of making your family feel part of theirs.
We love the place so much that my husband and I are making plans to retire to the village.
I cannot think of a better place to live out your later years.
Top, top place. I defy anyone to have a bad holiday at the Cosmos Maris

" We have been staying at the Cosmos... "
Submitted By: Pilona
We have been staying at the Cosmos Maris, twice a year for the last 3 years. It is a lovely place, very clean, very friendly, good value for money. They have a lovely pool and are only 3 minute walk from the beach. Vangelis, Georgina and George are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. The rooms are large, well appointed and spotless, the pool bar does the best "Special Greek Salad" in all of Greece and George will make you any drink you can think of. If he hasn't got the drink there that night, it will be there for you the next day. Greek Night and Karaoke Night are very good fun and help holiday makers to get to know each other. We will be there again in June 2008 and know 100% that we will have a great time.
2 minutes down the road is a great restaurant - Dimitra (try the moussaka), supermarkets, cocktail bar (try the Sexy Greek or Raspberry Blossom) and car hire.
2 kilometres down the road is the traditional village of Lardos with great bars and restaurants.
There are also so many beautiful places to visit on Rhodes.

" We have just returned from a very... "
Submitted By: Mrs L MacBrayne
We have just returned from a very enjoyable two weeks at the Cosmos Maris - we can easily say that this is the best accommodation we have ever stayed in.
It is run by George and Georgina and their family who were so friendly and made everyone feel like they too were one of the family! The apartments themselves were absolutely spotless (as was the whole hotel).
There is a very reasonably priced snack bar serving excellent food and drinks. Entertainment is on a Monday night consisting of a Greek night one week and a karaoke night the next week - the Greek night in particular is not to be missed and is great fun.
We went in the first two weeks of October. We were very lucky with the weather in that most of the time we had warm sunshine - easily warm enough for sunbathing and swimming (although the pool is freezing!). I would not recommend visiting this area any later than this, as the village was definitely starting to close down for the season - several of the bars and tavernas (especially those near the hotel) were already closed.
The village of Lardos is approx 2 km away - we used to walk it most nights, taking 20-30 mins but taxis are readily available, and the hotel will call one for you. There are several bars and restaurants in the village - our favourites were Valentinas and Roulas, and the Yamas Bar was also excellent (run by the a member of George and Georgina's family?)
Would highly recommend car hire to see the rest of the island - the west coast is beautiful and not developed at all. Our favourite place was Prasanissi - an exposed bar of sand at the southernmost tip of the island, and one of the few places where you can swim in the Aegean sea on one side of the beach and the med on the opposite!!
Only two slight negatives - firstly the supermarkets near the apartments are very basic and very expensive, however eating out is so cheap that you probably won't need much in the way of supplies!! Secondly there is a large hotel complex opposite the apartments which played unbelievably loud music every night from its open air disco/theatre - and I mean LOUD!! Luckily it does not go on too late, but it really got on our nerves after a few days!!
Overall, we would highly recommend the Cosmos Maris, and look forward to returning next year. If you are considering this hotel then book it, you will not be disappointed!!

" Well, this was our favourite holiday!... "
Submitted By: Mrs C McAleer
Well, this was our favourite holiday! George, Georgina and family will make you feel very welcome, and can't do enough for you! They are interested in finding out things about you, and this family run hotel couldn't have more friendly staff!
The rooms were big, and spotless! We had a balcony with a sea view! The pool area has plenty of free sunbeds and even a baby pool. The bar/restaurant bit is big and under cover incase you want to hide away from the hot sun.
The location was perfect for us. The hotel is set back a bit from the road so is a bit quiet, (which is what we love at bed time). There are about 5 restaurants 2 min walk away, and 3 shops and a few bars. Lardos, which is a 20 min walk away, has the most popular restaurants, Roulas, Valintina's, and the Old House to name a few. Pefkos, and Lindos are bigger with much more to see. Taxi's are 5 Euros, and the bus only costs 1.20.
All in all, I would recommend it to anyone!

" I and my partner have just got back... "
Submitted By: Miss L Cudworth
I and my partner have just got back from our holidays at Cosmos Maris, Lardos, and what a brilliant holiday we had!
We couldn't fault a thing, they were the cleanest apartments we’ve ever seen, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, food was lovely, and pool was beautiful. We will definitely be visiting again very soon.
If you’re going to hire a car do so with George who hire shop is just across the road, prices are unbeatable!!
The busiest part of Lardos is about a 20 minute walk, definitely pop into the Yamas bar and have a George special, and Valantinas for something to eat which is excellent (especially the seafood)!!
There are plenty of beautiful beaches about, are favourite was one just as you come into Lindos on the hill you turn a sharp corner and go back down and you'll see a cove, the waters are crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling!
Our holiday was perfect a definite 10/10!

" The Cosmos Maris is a fantastic... "
Submitted By: Mr A Caschetto
The Cosmos Maris is a fantastic aparthotel if you want a nice relaxing holiday. This was our third trip to the hotel and it’s still as good as ever.
George and Georgina always make you feel welcome and really go out of their way to accommodate you for any needs you may have.
The apartments themselves are nice and fairly spacious; they are always clean as the cleaners come round everyday to ensure this.
If you are one of the lucky ones at the front of the hotel you can get a sea view (it’s a distant sea view but it’s still a sea view).
The rooms are well air conditioned but only if you pay that little bit extra (I’d highly recommend this because it gets a bit hot in the summer).
The poolside bar is good at any time of day as it allows you somewhere to get out of the sun and relax with a nice drink. On an evening you could find yourself treated with a Greek night which is a lot of fun or have time to embarrass yourself on the karaoke.
There are a couple of other bars and restaurants near the Cosmos but if you want a real Greek experience head into Lardos village. There are some good restaurants in the village including the fantastic Oopaa tarvena (if you ask Sami nicely he'll even pick a table up in his mouth for you) and the best bar in Lardos "Yammas".
If you're reading this George and Georgina we'll see you in 2007 and we can't wait to meet the new arrival.

If ever a place deserved 11 out of 10 then this is it!
Everything was fantastic about our holiday - the accommodation is excellent, the food is superb and George definitely makes you feel like one of the family instead of just a room number.
Nothing is too much trouble at the Cosmos Maris, it really is a wonderful place.
Also, Thomson have a great rep in the place (Matt) - he's a good laugh, does a fab quiz night and can give as good as he gets! : )
If you are going to the Cosmos Maris then stick around for the Greek Night, it's hilarious!

the best places to eat are a short 20 minute walk into lardos village whare you will find a lovely atmosphere at the squre i personaly recomend valentinas and roulas they are amazing and then head over to the square bar for fantastic coffe and great cocktails and whare u will also meet george who runs the bar.
overalllardos is a great place to go so friendly and relaxing it deservers more than a 10 and the cosmos even better but unfortunately we went to book our holiday last week and there was no more rooms left so we are going accross the road but will defanatly be visiting george and the family and hopefully the greek night will be on as that is the best night of all i would recomend the cosmos to any one.
Advice: great,friendly and relaxing
Activities: valentinas and roulas
