I'll be honest, after reading previous reviews I thought we had made a terrible mistake booking to stay at Kamari Bay- how wrong was i to worry! Rooms are basic but clean, plenty of wardrobe space, comfortable beds, bathroom/wet room with a decent shower. Air conditioning works fine, we had a problem with ours during our 18 night stay after a power cut caused the unit to malfunction, we reported it and within half an hour an engineer had been contacted and the air conditioning was back up and running. Pool is clean, and plenty of sunbeds, couple of dodgy tiles ect but nothing major. The floor around the pool can be slippy when its wet, and also a bit dusty- in their defence however the hotel is next to a dusty road! Food and drink round the pool are decently priced, tasty. I read in a previous review that people thought the bar was "cliquey" that's utter nonsense! I've never known more welcoming people, lots of guests are returning customers and were extremely friendly at the bar and around the pool. Tony the barman was the perfect host, made a point of wishing guests a good evening regardless of whether they stayed for a drink or not, he quickly learned the names of his guests and couldn't have been more helpful. I can't comment on the breakfast as I'm not a ham/cheese/ boiled egg fan. If you're looking for a 5 star hotel then Kamari Bay probably isn't for you, but if you're looking for clean, comfortable accommodation, ideally located with friendly staff then give it a chance- I'm glad that we did!

“Half-Time Reflections at Kamari Bay Hotel – A Hidden Gem in Kefalos 🇬🇷”

I’m halfway through a two-week stay at Kamari Bay Hotel, and I already know I’ll be coming back. As someone who’s been traveling to the Greek islands for nearly 40 years, I’ve seen the full spectrum—from rustic studios to high-end resorts—and I can confidently say this hotel deserves far more credit than some of the outdated or unfair reviews suggest. Let’s set the record straight: Kamari Bay isn’t trying to be a 4 or 5-star all-inclusive resort, and that’s exactly its charm. What it offers is authenticity, warmth, and a peaceful base in one of the quieter corners of Kos. I’m here as a single dad with my 14-year-old daughter, and it’s been ideal—safe, relaxed, and welcoming. The room exceeded expectations. It’s basic, yes, but spotlessly clean with fresh towels and sheets daily (except Sundays). The bathroom is modern and well-appointed, with a proper walk-in shower—not one of those clingy curtain setups you dread. There’s a balcony with a sea view that’s perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding, and inside, there’s tons of storage space, comfortable beds, a hairdryer, and even a phone. The fridge is handy, the TV works well, and—pro tip—bring your Firestick, because the WiFi coverage is excellent. The optional air conditioning was a lifesaver in the August heat, and at €7 a day, it’s well worth budgeting for. Breakfast is simple continental fare—fresh, plentiful, and just what you need to start the day. The pool is clean, sunbeds are always available, and the atmosphere is laid-back and friendly. Tony, the host, is a standout—he somehow remembers every guest’s name and makes you feel genuinely welcome. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. Just a two-minute stroll to the beach and supermarkets, with tavernas aplenty and a car hire service right next door. And if you’re craving a bite that hits the spot, Manos Fast Food is just 30 seconds away—home to the best cheeseburger I ever did taste A. It’s fast food, yes, but with a local twist and a quality that rivals any burger joint back home. Whether you’re a couple looking for a quiet escape or a family seeking a safe and easygoing base, Kamari Bay hits the mark. This isn’t luxury—it’s real Greece. And for those who appreciate that, it’s a gem. I’ll be back—because when you’ve spent nearly four decades chasing sunsets across the Aegean, you know when you’ve found a place worth returning to. Kamari Bay is one of them.

“Another honest review..”

Nice room for 2 star, clean tidy, decent size. Wonderful people, super friendly and helpful, the rooms have been cleaned every day, beds and towels changed regularly.

Nice room for 2 star, clean tidy, decent size. Wonderful people, super friendly and helpful, the rooms have been cleaned every day, beds and towels changed regularly. We did have a problem with the rainfall shower mentioned it to Vicky on reception and Yanni sorted it next day. Tony behind the bar is a wonderful guy, friendly, hospitable, great fun to spend time with. Lovely big pool, cleaned regularly. Fantastic location with great restaurants to choose from, great local food at everyone we have visited. Breakfast could be better, but hey it's 2 star and included in the price. I would have to take exception with the previous posted review and as a member of the Jeremy Kyle show, I would say that our whole party have been respectful and greeted people cordially and welcomed them to engage in conversation around the pool and at the bar too, if they have issues with kids having fun around a pool then perhaps they should stay at home and watch the real Jeremy Kyle show. As a first time visitor to Kamari Bay and Kos our family will leave with nothing but good memories of a nice hotel, friendly staff, great food, beautiful Greek weather and a wonderful holiday, full of precious memories.

“It's all Greek”

⭐⭐ Kamari Bay Hotel, Kos – Where 2 Stars Shine Brighter Than Expected Arrived at Kamari Bay expecting the standard 2-star “room with a door” experience, but left with a suntan, a smile, and a mental catalogue of Tony’s greatest bar stories (the man’s a legend - someone give him a Netflix series!) … Περισσότερα

⭐⭐ Kamari Bay Hotel, Kos – Where 2 Stars Shine Brighter Than Expected Arrived at Kamari Bay expecting the standard 2-star “room with a door” experience, but left with a suntan, a smile, and a mental catalogue of Tony’s greatest bar stories (the man’s a legend - someone give him a Netflix series!) Breakfast – Advertised as continental, but in reality, it’s more of a minimalist Greek interpretation: ham, cheese, and the kind of bread that says “I’ll hold you over until lunch… maybe.” Simple, yes, but I wasn’t here for Michelin stars. I was here for the beach and to make memories Rooms - Cleaned daily (except Sundays, presumably because even the mop gets a day off). Sheets crisp, floors clean, and bathrooms fresh. The Staff – Could not fault them. Welcoming, friendly, and capable of making you feel like you’ve just been adopted into a large Greek family (without the awkward political arguments over dinner). The Infamous Brummie Wedding – I’d read a grumpy review before writing this, so as a Londoner, I wanted to share … what I found was four generations of absolute legends. From great-gran to the toddlers, every one of them was fun, friendly, and up for a laugh. I’ll be keeping in touch with a few long after the tan fades. If the earlier reviewer is reading this, I hope they reflect, smile, and maybe admit they were just intimidated by how effortlessly the Brummies turned the place into a family reunion you wished you were part of. In summary: If you want marble floors, caviar breakfasts, and someone to fold your towel into a swan, this isn’t your place. If you want sunshine, clean rooms, great people, and the occasional tall tale from Tony, Kamari Bay delivers way more than its 2 stars suggest. Would I come back? In a heartbeat
