Aqua Blu Boutique Hotel & Spa - Adults Only

My daughter and I have just returned from a delightful 4 nights at the Aqua Blu - it lived up to all the reviews we read before booking. Upon arrival we were met by the charming manager, Kostas, who was ever present overseeing the smooth running of the hotel. If he wasn't around then his no 2, Paris was, and she was also lovely. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. A big shout out to Alvin who knew within 24 hours that I like to start the day with an oat cappuccino! Our room was well equipped, housekeeping were very thorough and efficient, and we didn't need to ask for anything - it was always already there! The little notes left on the bed along with a chocolate every evening were so thoughtful. The hotel is maintained beautifully throughout and is a calm and peaceful place. Breakfast is a mix of a la carte and buffet - all tastes well catered for. We only ate in the hotel on the first evening as we arrived late - food was good. We both had excellent massages and spent some time in the spa - excellent again. The hotel is situated a 25 minute brisk walk out of Kos town which was perfect for us. The town is very touristy with a few good restaurants and lots of bars and ice cream shows - it must be really crazy from June to September. October was the ideal time for a mother daughter trip as things were quietening down and getting ready to close for the winter. The weather was hot with a slight breeze. We walked or cycled everywhere even in the evenings (we felt totally safe) but I saw plenty of taxis for those that prefer to travel by car. All in all a perfect 4 day break and we would definitely return.
