May 2008, Mrs J Boulding

We enjoyed the Angelos so much we have booked to return july 08. Poppi, Yannis and family are all lovely people, they were considerate to us and made us feel very comfortable.
We used the on site taverna every day very reasonably priced food and drink, the Tues barbie is a must.
The location is very good located on a country lane yet just a few minutes to Kos town, the beach,supermarkets and resturants.
The studios are very clean and for the little time we spent in them comfortable, I agree kitchen equipment is basic but enough to get by. The pool area is very nice and well maintained we were not pestered by any creepy crawlies.
I would recomend these studios for anyone who wants to chill out and relax.

The Angelos apartments is VERY basic....
1 / 10
Sep 2007, Mr DJ Roddis

The Angelos apartments is VERY basic. The cooking facilities are non existent. During our stay we had money stolen, if you read further on another guest had the same problem!!!
The Owners Poppi and Yannis are friendly with whom they want to, and we were definitely not liked from the beginning. This was confirmed upon departure where Poppi gave every other guest leaving a hug, and completely ignored myself and my girlfriend. The other guests were extremely friendly, although it got a bit louder towards the end of our 2 weeks. On the day of departure we found out you HAVE to leave your bags in the bar area, for everyone to have access to and sit there for 14 hours in mid day heat.
The Olympic rep was useless, and was barely there. The holiday in Kos was excellent, the accommodation was disgraceful. I would advise anyone intending on going to stay well away of these so-called apartments, and due to this holiday I will never stay at a family run complex again, as the service was so poor.

Sep 2007, Luke Hoare

Basic studios but had everything you need. Poppy and Yanni, the owners, were lovely and were very good cooks. We loved the bacon and their cheap prices.
Pool was fine and most of the time fairly quiet. BBQ night on a Tuesday at the resort was a good night, great food and a bargain at 10 euros.
Only a 5 minute walk to the sea, where you could get an umbrella and two sunbeds for 5 euros.
Kos Town was a nice 15 minute walk along the sea front.
All in all, we had a great holiday.

Sep 2007, Mrs L Volek

Me and my husband (both are 27y) holiday 25.8. - 9.9. 2007. Psalidi at Kos Island was definitely good value for good money.
The accommodation was clean and simple, only 5 minutes from the nearest beach. There were 3 supermarkets around and plenty of restaurants, so you can easily buy anything for food and drink. Prices in supermarkets were more expensive than in uk. So we spent quite lot of money for our food and drinks. But I must say that the food was delicious. The freshest feta cheese and olives I have ever eaten in my life!
The Kos town is approximately 20 minutes walk by the beach, it is a very nice walk, and when you are on holiday, you will enjoy it! I would recommend to buy a guide and visit all historical part of the town. It is nice one day trip. There are many cruises from Kos town, you can visit turkey or another islands.
The weather was excellent during whole stay. But on the last day it started being cold in the morning and evening (sweater or jacket and long trousers was helpful). You could feel the end of season not only on weather but there were less people on the street as well. I wouldn’t recommend to go on holiday later than was ours. The beach was fine, we paid 5euros for 2 sunbeds which was o.k.
The is not proper sandy beach on psalidi (only pebbles) which was fine for us, but it is not suitable for small children. Good ideas is to rent a car, I would recommend to do it at the same time as you book you holiday. We paid around 150 GBP. for a week for a small Hyundai car from hertz. Car for one week is enough.
We visited beautiful sandy beaches, our favourite was that one at Tingaki and mastichari, clear not very deep water, water sports, not very crowded. Very close is thermae, where you will find thermo spring in the sea with hot bubbles, something like natural jacuzzi. It is recommended to visit this sprint early morning around 7am or late afternoon, evening.
It is great and relaxing. Another trip with the car is Zia. It is a mountain where people go to watch the sunset. It’s very nice place to stay, it has many restaurants where you can eat or just have some drinks like ice coffee... There is swimming pool close to the apartments so it is nice to go for a night swimming, because the water is warm from the sun.
There is possibility to rent a safe box for only 15euros for 2weeks. The last thing I would suggest is the bar nostos by the beach, good music and best drinks! During the day we occupied their beach...

Aug 2007, Miss S Dunmoodie

I stayed at Angelos apartments for a week during the 2nd week of August by myself.
On arrival it looks a bit daunting and in the middle of nowhere but I can assure you it isn’t! The apartments are surrounded by fruit trees where the owners grow everything they need from lemons to grapes and pomegranates.
I found the rooms basic but very clean and just what you need. There are only 2 cooking rings to cook on but if you have any imagination then these can be used to cook almost anything. The room sizes vary as some people did complain that their rooms were small while others had full apartments with lounges, but for the price you pay, I think it is definitely worth it. The cleaner cleans your room every morning without fail and changes the bed sheets and provides new towels. She is really nice and always says morning.
The owners Yianni and Poppi are really nice too; their son Angelos sometimes helps out. The food is really nice especially their BBQ every Tuesday night which is only 10 Euros per person. You get a full starter normally a Greek salad and tsaziki, a main meal which is pork chops, burgers, rice, chips and veg. Then you get watermelon for desert. The only things you have to pay for are drinks which are still a bargain at 3 Euros for a cocktail. They also do a full English breakfast for only 4Euros!
The location is as it says. There is a beach just 5 minutes away and a short walk into town. At the end of the road from the apartments there is a hotel, there is a gap in a wall at the back of the hotel where you can walk through and it will take you out at the main road where you can see the beach. There are also 2 supermarkets only 10 minutes walk away and very good prices.
The pool is nice and big, there is also a small children’s pool. Both are cleaned every night. People have mentioned bugs in the pool but that happens everywhere you go. There is a net to fish them out if necessary.
There is also a TV in the bar area. The entertainment is dependant upon when people leave the bar. The bar only closes when people have all left and it is empty so if you want a late night at the bar then it’s up to when you leave.
On the night before my flight, Poppi gave us some grapes she picked and left the lights on for us while we waited for the coach which wasn’t till 2am. They are really nice people. They don’t mind you buying your own goods from the local supermarkets at all and try to help you with whatever you need to make your holiday a good one.
Overall I really enjoyed this holiday and would definitely recommend staying at Angelos apartments.

Oct 2006, Miss A Brumfitt

Stayed at Angelos 27-09 for one week. Booked last minute through Global Late Deals over the net.
The accommodation is basic but I found it to be very clean and absolutely fine for the money we paid. If you were to go self catering in terms of cooking in the apartment, you would be limited here as there is just a small two ring hob. Fridge was large though.
The pool area was fine, a bit disappointed that there were no mattresses on the sun beds but down the road for 4 euros you can hire two sun beds and laze about on the beach. All the food served at Angelos was lovely, all homemade and I would recommend the BBQ that is held on Tuesdays, great food!
Psalidi seems to be slightly quieter than say Kardamena, plenty of bars but not so lively or aimed towards the younger end, from what we saw, although it was the end of the season. For a relaxing hol, gorgeous weather and friendly people this is a great place to go. Perfect end of the year holiday.
One complaint I have is with Olympic holidays. Our return flight was cancelled due to a fault with the plane, fair enough, but not one announcement was made to everyone to confirm what was happening - people were left to find a rep and then pass the information on, so you can imagine the chinese whispers that followed on.
In their favour, Olympic did put us into a hotel quickly, but the next day, the communication was no better - a scrap piece of paper left on the reception desk saying when we would be picked up, no announcement from the rep so that everyone knew where they stood, it was all word of mouth! Back to the airport and more delays and again... no announcements and one of the reps actually had the cheek to say that '' of course as soon as we know anything we'll make an announcement'' like we were all idiots and being unreasonable - again, no announcement followed updating us, it was only when the flight was finally ready that we were told to make our way.
I found them to be very unprofessional and would be reluctant to travel with them again, simply because at the first sign of trouble they couldn't handle themselves enough to address everyone and let them know what they knew - if that was nothing, and then fine, but at least they had the decency to step forward and speak to us. Rant over....

Sep 2006, Miss A Turrell

I booked this holiday 6 days before departure for my boyfriend Christopher and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in the hospitable area of Psaldi which was in touching distance of the razzmatazz lifestyle of Kos Town, whilst by the same token being in cycling distance of adequate pebbly/sandy beaches in Lambi.
The apartments at Angelos were a little basic, and the toilet left a lot to be desired as it didn't flush very well at all, and you do have to buy your own toilet roll. The pool area is pleasant but you may wish to fish some creepy crawlies out of the water before swimming.
The owners Poppi and Yanni are pleasant considering the long hours they work and Poppi is a very good cook. As for restaurants we would recommend Spitaki on the main street leading towards Kos town, El Psaso was also good but watch out as your dinner may be set on fire!
All in all these apartments provided a comfortable base, adequate for the bargain price we paid.

Sep 2006, Mr RJ Tinkler

We found the owners Popi and Yani very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast with them every morning at a very reasonable price of 4 Euros each.
The apartment was basic - but that's all you're paying for. It was cleaned almost daily. Towels were a bit scratchy - recommend you take your own. The swimming pool and area was clean and well maintained.
Situated 5 minutes walk from the beaches, beach tavernas and mini-market.
Recommended.

Jul 2006, Mrs E Duncan

Just got back from Angelos Apartments. Fantastic holiday! Apartment was basic but adequate. Poppy and Yani were lovely. Pool area was beautiful and clean apart from insects in the pool which my 5 year year old daughter enjoyed fishing out with a net. Found all the other guests very friendly. Weather and beaches were fantastic. Highly recommend you go to see the sunset at Zia. Food at El Passo was great and so was the staff! Overall we had a most enjoyable and relaxing holiday and would definitely go again!

Jun 2006, Mr D Woods

First let me say if you want 4 or 5 star luxury don't go to the Angelos apartments. The furniture has seen better days and I would not advise anyone to try and cook on the twin hot plates, and as for the plumbing!
The accommodation is very basic but that’s all you pay for! The bedding and towels are changed regularly and the maids are very pleasant. But if you want to stay in nice surroundings with lovely gardens and pool area with reasonable priced drinks at the bar and good but basic food then go there. I have read some of the comments made against Yani and Popi and can honestly say I found them very pleasant people and they regularly joined in the evening banter in the bar.
As for the pool if you have one in the middle of the countryside then it is a full time job removing insects and part of the fun for children. I would not hesitate in returning to the Angelos and whilst we were there people were making arrangements to return next year. The best taverna is the beach restaurant turn left at the main road and it is the first one on the left the food is very good they have a good selection of wines and beer at a reasonable price the place is run by three nice ladies.
Two star holidays are what you make them!

Feb 2006, J Deacon

My wife and I booked this apartment with Olympic Holidays for July 2005.
We were severely disappointed with the accommodation, (the worst we have ever had on a holiday), to the point that we moved after one day to the Athina Hotel, Lampi. It cost us an extra £270, but well worth it!
The apartment offered no privacy with the beds positioned in front of a misted glass door with iron bars running down the length of it. It was very much like a prison cell with a bare bulb hanging from the ceiling. The cooker was ridiculous perched on a small wooden shelf with the kettle sitting on top of it. The chairs had legs falling off and cutlery was kept to a minimum, one fork, one knife and one spoon each. A drawer with six items in it!
There were posters everywhere telling you what not to do and how much everything would cost to replace. A very gloomy depressing place.
Never again will I book a holiday with Olympics!

Sep 2005, Miss T Hughes

I really must disagree with the other comments on here and defend Poppi and Yannis as we found them to be helpful and friendly. It was nice to stay in a family run complex which was peaceful and set in beautifully kept gardens of fruit trees and flowers. The smell of jasmine when we arrived at 4am was particularly refreshing.
When we came to leave we were allowed to keep our bags by the bar and were allowed to pass time in the bar with the rest of the guests with no pressure on us to purchase any food or drink. The meals we did eat there though were very reasonably priced and tasty.
There was a real mix of guests from young couples and party animals to older couples and single occupants. It was lovely to sit with them all in the evening to catch up on the day’s activities.
I will admit that the rooms were very basic and I would not have liked to try to cook anything in the kitchen area. The beds and pillows were quite hard but the cleaner visited nearly everyday and we never had a problem with the service.
The pool area was lovely and secluded and I really didn’t see that many bugs in it. It is an outside pool so you can’t expect it to be spotless!! Whilst we were there it was quite windy and Yannis said it was annoying for him to have to clean the pool because things were constantly blowing into it.
I think that provided you have a friendly attitude towards the owners and other guests you will find staying at the Angelos apartments a pleasant experience. If you have high expectations and require high standards of living whilst on holiday then stay in a hotel - with self catering you get what you pay for!!!
