Gaia Royal Hotel

Just got back from a weeks holiday and have to say we were very disappointed. Certainly not a 4star hotel, rooms very basic and bathroom needs a good makeover. The only air conditioning was in our room, not the lobby or restaurant. Food very boring, not a lot of variety at all. The place is full of german families, not very friendly and if you hadn't got a sunbed by 8am you've had it. Most of the signs were in German, and all the entertainment was in German. However the pools were very good for the kids but there is not enough shade considering how hot it was. A very nice Scottish lady runs the mini market but we were all glad to come home. Really wouldn't recommend this place .
On another note - at Kos airport on the way back, Olympic holidays seem to control the check in for Monach airlines and though we had booked independently tried to force us back outside to join a queue of 200 people in the blazing sun. We had actually arrived before most of them anyway. Their very rude manager then called airport security to have us evicted outside, which set both our young children crying as they thought we were being arrested. We explained that we had not booked with Olympic holidays and had joined the check in when it had appeared on the board, and as there was no signs prompting us to join a queue outside, we didn't think we had done any wrong. He was quite understanding and let us stay where we were. However there did appear to be a few disgruntled families in the same position and it was quite tense.
