Zorbas Beach Hotel

Beautiful hotel and lovely staff. I went with myself and my partner and 2 children.
The hotel was very clean the food was really nice the pool was huge and always clean.
There are a lot of German people but that wasn’t a problem my children still made friends and had a fab time.
The hotel has beautiful views at every angle you have the beach and views of Greece mainland you also have the mountains behind hotel.
It was paradise only down side was hotel bit of a trek from town, but only 5eruo for taxi. I will be going back.
If you want a family holiday with no stress and feel you’re in 5star accommodation this is the place.

We have just returned from our wonderful holiday at Zorbas Beach hotel.
The only issue that we had was that you had to pay for bottled water, which you are able to get at the mini market, and it was very cheap.
Lots of sunbeds available you were not allowed to get your sunbeds before 9am, which a lot of people respected. Hotel had quite a few Dutch and German guests but there were still quite a lot of English families and couples.
Food was excellent and catered for all nationalities. We had no issues with availability of food at any of the meal times. You were also allowed to have a lovely traditional meal which was served to you at your table.
Entertainment was aimed more at the children with regards to a nightly mini-disco and a weekly show that the children did.
We would definitely go back.

This is a fantastic hotel! We went with our 8 and 5 year old children and had a terrific time.
The family room we had was very spacious and included plenty of storage space as well.
The pools/pool areas were great and very well maintained and cleaned. Our children had lots of fun in the play park too. The lounge/reception was very spacious and with plenty of comfy sofas.
This was the first time we had gone all inclusive and were very pleased we did, the food was brilliant, with lots of choice and varied from day-to-day, apart from the staple pasta, chips, salad and English breakfast!! A wide variety of drinks were available too.
The staff we very pleasant and helpful!
The only downside was the hotel animation team, they were German, and quite often forget to translate into English (presumably, because the hotel guests are predominantly German), their English was not that good when they did translate, which did put my children off from participating in the activities, however, this would not put me off visiting this hotel again.
Tingaki is a small, quiet resort; the hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the resort centre, so it is a very relaxing holiday and probably not for those who require an action packed one? There are, however, regular buses running to Kos Town (approx 20mins) every day from right outside the hotel.
Oh, nearly forgot to mention the added bonus of fresh pool towels every other day are provided!

We travelled as a group of four adults and four children in Aug 2006 for one week. The hotel accommodation was generally very good and clean with air conditioned rooms and plain decor. Although we were told that is was necessary to put all used loo paper in the bin next to the loo as putting loo paper down the loo could cause blockages.
We had requested a cot for the little one and got a travel cot which is standard equip, the problem with that is they sleep the little one very close to the floor and are not very comfortable.
The hotel has two main pools which are kept in excellent condition. The only problem is you need to wake up at 7am or earlier to get a sun bed as they all get reserved by the German holiday makers even though there is a notice in reception forbidding reserving sun beds before 9am.
The hotel is 98% populated by Germans and the entertainment and food is German orientated too. The food - the standard was below average, being in an all inclusive for 6 nights we ended up eating out for 3 of those nights as the food selection was very disappointing. The food is served in a buffet style and often you need to get there early (6.30 - 7.00pm) to get the "better" selection. The food is designed all around the German palette. In regards to breakfast after the 2nd / 3rd day you will probably resort to bread and cakes instead of the full English, as the same selection is put out in the morning.
The children's food choice is non-existent e.g. no fish fingers, chicken nuggets, pizzas. The children ate chips and pasta most lunchtimes and evenings.
The Drinks - For the children they were extra sweet, for the adults when you asked for water you were either given fizzy water or tap water, bottled water was not inclusive. The alcohol was OK, the wine was drinkable although the red wine was chilled, every evening a cocktail was on offer (again always very sweet). Some of the basic brands were included in the all inclusive (vodka, gin etc) but quite a number of the drinks at the bar had to be paid for.
The entertainment - sometimes the animation team would forget to translate from German to English and often you felt isolated being the minority. The evening entertainment was below average and there was no local entertainment either.
Would I return to this hotel? Only if the food quality and selection improved significantly, the rule regarding reserving sun beds was enforced and the evening entertainment was more varied and geared to other nationalities other than the Germans.
