Zorbas Beach Hotel

we have just returned from two weeks at zorbas beach, although we found the hotel very nice, clean with excellent maid service and pleasent pool surrounding, no fights for sunbeds. But,,, and this is a very big but, the food was diabolical, unapetizing just warm and no choice. If you didn't eat fish,pasta or pork then you was out of luck. we didn't eat a decent meal the whole time we was there.the snack bar was non excistent, had to complain and fight with rep to get sprite machine working as this was only dispensing plain soda for sprite, when we complained to the bar staff they just shrugged their shoulders, so the rep had to be balled out. the entertainment isn't worth watching. in fact the place was deserted by 11.15pm everyone went to bed with boredom. i certainly would not give this hotel a fourb star rating in my mind it only deserves 2-3 for all inclusive. think again before you book to go here. it is in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to go.

My sister and I stayed at the Zorbas and found it was a very relaxing holiday.Disabled friendly with everything on the flat or ramps. The staff were very helpful and friendly.Lovely clean rooms ( We found the beds very hard ) with fridge and tea making facilities and even beach towels provided. Air conditioned rooms which was a godsend although not on in the reception area and dining room which made it a little to warm when dining and then having to queue for your drinks at night.Food was quite good,we always found something we liked,( excellent salad bar ) but they did not seem to cater for British kids as this is mostly a German holiday hotel. We found the coffee that was served in the afternoons was very strong and just luke warm. Entertainment was mostly for kids and Chicco! the entertainer was brilliant with the kids and spoke in most languages. Make sure you take medical items for there is a lot of mosquitoes about because the hotel is situated near the salt mines. We would return.

We all thought that the hotel was lovely although some of the staff were a bit miserable and the food was only a 3 star. But apart from that we all had a really good time, the sunbathing beds were comfy the only problem was that when you first get in the pool it is cold-but when you have been in there for 2 minutes it warms up (although it was only the start of the summer season).There were a lot of bugs but not in the hotel bedrooms.
the beach was literally across the road (just 30 foot from the hotel boundary! Also, Tingaki is only a 15 minutes walk from the hotel and only 5 euro in a taxi which you can order from reception!
So all in all it was really good and we recommend it!!

On arrival we were made to feel very welcome even though this was at 00.30 The hotel had reserved us food and drink. There were 16 in our party that then made the complete party one of 31 people
The rooms were very clean and well presented.
Although the first few meals were cold once we had mentioned this, it was soon rectified. If you prefer English food this may not be the place for you to eat.
The staff were very friendly and helpful
On the down side there was no adult entertainment, once the childrens disco had finished, apart from one night when it was a night of audience participation.
The hotel reception is spacious and comfy although if you travel with children please be aware of the glass coffee tables at low level with sharpe corners.
A torch is needed if you wish to walk into the village at night as there some areas with no lighting and no pavements.
The bus into Kos town is hourly cost 1.80 (e) though check out the return as they do stop running for a couple of hours at lunch.
The people in the local village are friendly and there is a choice of bars though at the time we holidayed many were and had closed for the season.
Although we found out that the Zorbas is a German orientated hotel. It was not full whilst we were there so we did not really notice this.
A Holiday is what you make it, The staff at the Zorbas help you to enjoy it.

the hotel is really nice clean and tidy. the entertainment is a load of rubbish its the same stuff for the kids every night the adults entertainment is just as bad. the food is pathetic is't all the same food every night always fish and chips on the menu food very salty every night. i've got a 2 kids on age 4 and one age 1 and my 4 yr old was aloud to go for kids meals at 6pm but my 1 yr old wasn't so my kids had to eat chips and rice for 2 weeks as the rest of the food was far to salty we ended up eatting out most nights. we hired a car as there is not very much to do in tingki for kids its just pubs and shops. some of kos is really nice. if your looking for a holiday just to sit by the pool and relax maybe but a big no no if you want to entertain your kids

I had a very enjoyable holiday. The hotel was clean and very well presented. The choice of food at mealtimes was extensive and catered for all tastes. All staff were very helpful and polite and our room was cleaned to perfection.The air con was provided at no extra charge and was a god-send.Beach towels were also provided which was a great help but wish we'd known about the service before we left!The beach is just across the road which. whilst convenient isnt't the best and you have about a 15 min walk to Tigaki itself if you want a larger beach with watersports.The only criticism from my point of view is the lack of evening entertainment.We ended up walking into Tigaki in the evenings (although there is a bus service) which meant having to pay for drinks in the local tavernas and losing out on the all-inclusive drinks in the evenings.Having said that, I will book to come here again next year!

Firstly I must say we had a fantastic holiday as 2 adults with a 16 and 14 year old boys, but have a couple of reservations. The hotel is very clean and modern, and our twin roomed accomodation was ideal. To try and be subjective and helpful to future guests find comments below.
GOOD
Rooms were large and very clean. Staff were very helpful particullarly in the restaurant. The food and service in the restaurant was always good, with plently of options.
BAD
When we arrived we were 4 of 10 british people at the hotel, and therefore the children in particular had no one talk to. The entertainment was totally geared to the German guests, and couldn't be understood by anyone else. The 'All Inclusive' bar closed at 11pm, and then drinks were very expensive.
Overall a great hotel clean hotel, but dont expect many other British, and late nights at the bar.

Zorbas beach is a very modern hotel. The staff are great, the accommodation is very good. The air con was a god send. The food was adequate, but i never went hungry. Our holiday at Zorbas was great and i would recommend it. The beach opposite is not the best beach ive ever been, but the pools at Zorbas are so good you don't need to walk the 10 yards to the beach that often. All in all... Great hotel.

I went on a working holiday to the Zorbas Beach,with two adults with learning disabilities we were told that there would be plenty for the ladys to do and great entertainment on a evening.Has the ladys we took love music and love to dance.It would have been nice if we all spoke German and understud everything that was going on.We could'nt join in any games that were been held through the day as they gave everything out in german.Really lets the place down.
Very disapointing stay at the Zorbas Beach.Glad we were only there for one week.
To top it all we didnt pick this hotel we were put there given only a weeks notice before we flew out as we were orginally staying at the Aqua Beach,with not much of an explantion.
Feel so let down,more for the ladys we took as that was there main holiday and looking forward to it.........
