Just got back from 2 weeks at the Miros in Tingaki. This was our second visit and very enjoyable. Temperature 90+ every day but often with a good breeze.
Nice pool with plenty of sunbeds and a drink & snack bar run by Caroline & Lilian who were always ready to help & have a chat. In the evening Judy & Mark ran the indoor bar & made you very welcome. Rooms kept very clean & our room had aircon if you wanted it.
Barbecue nights on a Tuesday were good value with nice food, a quiz & music. This was set up by the pool & we had a great night (twice) helped by a good crowd & a few drinks!
The Miros is about a 15min walk to the main strip where most of the bars, shops & restaurants are. Our favourite restaurants were Spyros (on the main strip) & Ifestos (overlooking the beach, quiet but good). Our favourite bar was the Cosy Company on the main strip.
There is a very long beach in Tingaki. We liked the area out towards the salt lake best by Alykes restaurant as there was plenty of space between the sunbeds & it was away from the road.
We went on the greek night booked through Olympic which was good & included greek music & dancing, food & plenty of wine. You can also book this direct in the town.
As the area is quite flat we 2 hired bicycles for a week (35 euros in total). Went to Marmari a cople of times (about 3 miles) & almost to Kos town (if we hadn't taken a wrong turn!)
Bus service to Kos town is hourly & worth a trip, there is a fort, archialogical sites & plenty of shops & restaurants.
We will go back again in the future.

Thanks for your comments about Theresa boys x
I am her daughter-in law and I would just like to extend a personal thank you to all those that have left such positive comments about Tre. She did read them and was very touched. She made some very good friends in Tingaki and especially at the Miros. Next time you go, have a drink for her too xx

Just to let you all know, Theresa who did a fantastic job at the Miros studios passed away back home in Southampton. Phil & I were able to travel down from Yorkshire to say goodbye to Theresa.
She was a fantastic woman who cared very much for people whilst on holiday in Kos.
She will be deeply missed and I know that she can never be replaced as she truly was one in a million.
Welcome to faulty towers mamma T said to us all on arival to the Miros studios
Love u loads

An amazing holiday from start to finish.
The studios are basic, but they are comfortable, have everything you need and are cleaned everyday! Towels are provided each day too.
The pool bar is well stocked and the food is excellent - recommend Judy's scrambled omlette or Silkes toasties... and definitely, definitely go to the BBQ on Fridays! When the sun goes down, move inside and have a beer with Kerry... her bar keeps you well oiled until the early hours! (Unless you want to retire to the comfort and quiet of your room).
The staff at this location are better than any other I've been to. They make you feel welcome, they have a laugh and a joke with everyone and they look after you throughout your holiday!
Tingaki is a wonderful place, the beach is massive with plenty of loungers or sand if you prefer. Hire a bike to get around for about 3euros a day - or catch the local bus to Kos for 1.60! There are plenty of tevernas and everything is good value!
I would recommend Miros at Tingaki to everyone - Enjoy it....

Well what can I say! Phil and I stayed yet again at the Miros Studio's this July for our Civil partnership honeymoon. We have become very good friends with everyone who works at Miros.
The room was kept clean as per usual by Maria and Co. We were kept well fed by Caroline, and Silke was just the usual German wonderwoman that she is. Mamma T is just a bloody good all-rounder, shame about the girl who does the night time bar, tried so hard to make conversation but it just did not happen, we obviously did not rock enough!
All in all Fab place, Fab weather and most importantly Fab friends.
Mamma T we love ya, Caroline your ace (So are Charlie and Hannah) Silke your she-ra Kerry.... hmmm not too sure on you yet.

The rooms were basic but it was ok, it had all of the necessities, besides an air conditioning system, which was needed in 45-degree heat.
A fan is available to hire for 10 euros, which is highly recommended, as it would be very uncomfortable without one.
The pool was nice, enjoyed many games of volleyball and teaching my little brother how to dive and how to tumble turn.
It was a very nice place, it was a shame that we had to go so soon, and I would definitely come back.
One downside is the stray cats and dogs around as they are everywhere some as young as a couple of weeks old, fortunately we met a man called Micki who owned Micki's bar and he seemed to take in cats and look after them.
William the cat at the bar by the pool was vey friendly and vocal!

My daughter (aged 12) and I stayed at Miros for a week during half term and my only disappointment was that I had only booked for one week not two! Accommodation was clean and for 2 people actually very spacious, all you need for self-catering. 6 days out of 7 maid service. The only downside for me is the lack of street lights/footpath on your way back from town. Overall we loved our first trip to a Greek Island and are planning to return next year.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic week's stay at the Miros studios in Tingaki last month. As a young couple, we were looking for a holiday destination with lots of things to see and do, with nightlife to enjoy as well, but we didn't want to be stuck in the centre of all the action.
These studios were perfect for us, as the restaurants and a couple of disco bars were only a short stroll down the road, while the main nightlife of Kos Town was in easy reach, too, as it only took about 20 minutes to get there by bus.
We found that there was a great choice of places to eat and drink in Tingaki, and the beach directly in front of the complex was gorgeous too.
Our studio was kept immaculate, thanks to the frequent maid service, with clean towels provided practically every day.
We loved the pool area, with plenty of sun-loungers and parasols, and a fantastic pool bar to keep us refreshed!
Overall, we had a brilliant holiday, and would love to return to the Miros studios again!

The rooms were basic but clean and tidy. Shower, toilet, single beds. Self catering comes in the form of a fridge and two cooking hobs.
No air conditioning - highly recommended that you speak with the hotel staff and hire a fan for ten Euros a week; otherwise you'll sweat to death.
The pool was lovely, although almost constantly monopolised by the bar staff's children and friends, who were noisy and deterred genuine guests from going for a swim.
Fortunately the beach is only a couple of minutes walk away, and is less busy than the beach further up the resort, closer to the restaurants and bars.
For food, you can get burgers, chips etc from the bar between around 9am - 4pm that's pretty cheap. There's also a supermarket about ten minutes walk left from the apartments. There are also several restaurants, also about ten minutes walk.
We hired a car to get us around, but there is also a bus service on a fairly busy road (although it didn't bother us) a minute's walk from the hotel.
As for Olympic, they were rather robotic but efficient - apart from not telling us how to check in when we arrived by car. We went on one of their recommended day trips to Turkey. It's good value, but the actual guide is very short and not very informative - also seems to be heavily funded by the Gold Centre.
A nice little place, that didn't particularly impress or disappoint. Let down by the staff's children. Hopefully a one-off occurrence.

Just came back after spending two weeks in the Miros Studios in Tingaki.
My husband and I had a lovely time and would definitely go back some time again.
Miros is situated in an ideal spot with an excellent bus service just outside the studios.
Also the beach was very convenient as it was just across the road. The studios are bright and modern and are kept in fantastic condition by the two cleaning ladies called Maria.
Theresa at the bar pool is very friendly and it was nice and quiet with no loud music.
Definitely recommend it for a first time visit to Kos.

Rooms are basic (as with all Greek Accommodation) but very clean and comfortable. Maid service excellent, pool area spotless and well kept gardens.
Theresa (runs the pool bar) and Silke (the German manger) cannot do enough for you and so friendly. Best restaurants in Tingaki - Scala (right on the roundabout) Ampyli - (set in the vineyard) and Icarus - (heading out toward the salt lake). Best place for a cocktail - go and see Andy at the Meni Beach Hotel.
Would I go again to Tingaki and The Miros? Like a shot, and I have never been as enthusiastic about one particular destination as the world is too big.

I have been to Kos many times and this July was the second time that my partner and I stayed at the Miros Studios.
We had an excellent stay and was made to feel very welcome by our tour rep Kerry, Theresa the poolside bar/food assistant and Silka the supervisor for the resort.
The accommodation was kept clean by the very friendly staff, and nothing was too much trouble for them all.
Because we had such a wonderful time at the Miros Studios we flew back to Manchester and booked to fly back out to Kos again three weeks later, and surprised Kerry, Theresa and Silka.
They made us feel so welcome that we decided we wanted more sun and fun, so that’s what we did.
Next summer we will be flying back out to Kos but for a lot longer this time.
Fantastic people doing a fantastic job!
Well done & Thank you

Miros Studios extremely clean and pleasant.
Pool area very good. Staff excellent and friendly. Beach across road. Short walk to tavernas. Relaxing area - no loud bars etc. Very good local bus service to Kos Town. Bus stop outside studios and timetable accurate. Restaurants etc good in Tingaki but preferred Kos Town in the evenings. Lovely atmosphere. Ambrosia and Select restaurants excellent.
Would definitely go back.
