Interesting place, hot springs run into sea, improvised basin and crowds of people. We went there on the sunset, not overcrowded but nothing like sun-beds or changing rooms.

Best time is sunset, we went around 7 pm and stayed till it was dark. Amazing place, smells like eggs but not too much. Was not overly crowded. Easy access by foot from parking lot/ bus stop. Can recommend!

Currently (2025.10) the basin aera is very small, there is no place to immerse yourself completly. There is only small hole with very hot water, and small pitch with warm wster near see. Quite disapointing! Not recommend to visit. The views are fine tough.

Such a unique spot! You jump into the sea and suddenly it feels like you’re in a natural hot tub. 🚿 Warm thermal water mixing with the waves, plus those mountain views – unreal! Bring a towel and maybe a scrub glove and you’ve basically got yourself a free spa day. 😂 Definitely one of the most fun and relaxing experiences in Kos

Kos Island Thermal Springs: A Traveller's Practical Guide I'd like to share my experience visiting the thermal springs on Kos Island – this place is absolutely worth the journey! Getting There I left my hotel early in the morning and walked along the coast towards Kos town, stopping along the way to photograph local landmarks (more on those in my next post). The bus station is quite modest: a kiosk with timetables (unmanned) and a covered bus stop. Directly across the road are ancient Greek ruins, and diagonally opposite is the police station – excellent landmarks for navigation. In October, bus number 5 runs every hour (same schedule for weekdays and weekends). With 45 minutes until departure, I happily spent the time exploring the ancient ruins. The bus arrived precisely at 12:30 as scheduled, but remained at the stop for another 15 minutes whilst the driver sold tickets and waited for other passengers. Useful Information: Ticket price: €2 (accurate as of 11 October 2025) Journey time: approximately 30 minutes The springs are the final stop on route 5 Windows are tinted, so sit at the front if you want to enjoy the scenery At the Beach It's about 560 metres from the bus stop to the springs at the end of the beach. The hottest and cleanest water emerges from a stone structure. Local volunteers maintain natural pools in the rock formations, though waves constantly fill them with sand and stones. During my visit, one dedicated soul was clearing debris with a barely-intact shovel – a true hero! The water is genuinely hot – practically boiling! The minerals are evident from the smell, and bubbles rising from beneath the earth delightfully tickle your body. I recalled Pushkin's fairy tale about Tsar Saltan, where the hero plunged into a cauldron of boiling water and gained youth and beauty – so naturally, I awaited my transformation! 🤣 Important Tips: Best to lie flat in the water – standing burns your ankles Alternate between the hot springs and the cold sea Don't overdo it! After my third dip, even as a regular sauna-goer, I felt dizzy and had to retreat to shore Beware: Local Residents! A herd of mountain goats roams the beach, attacking tourists at the slightest whiff of food. Whilst I was swimming, the goats knocked my rucksack off a stone wall (where I'd deliberately placed it high up!), unzipped it, and devoured everything inside. My attempts at fair distribution of the remains failed – the goats have their own hierarchy, and the alpha takes everything. Practical Information: Entry is free (surprisingly!) Sunbeds at the beach entrance: €5 (not worth it – the springs are far away) Better to settle on the sandy-stone beach near the springs themselves In the pool closer to the sea, the water is brownish due to iron oxidation in the rocks – bathers emerge with a rusty coating Verdict The views from above and along the path to the beach alone justify the visit, not to mention the healing properties of the mineral waters. This is a unique place where nature has created a genuine open-air spa!

What an awesome experience this is! We drove to therma beach and parked at the top near the cafe (you can drive down the cliff if your brave enough!!) However most opt to walk, it's a 10 min walk down to the bottom where you will find a volcanic beach with a little restaurant, black sand and cliff faces. In front of you, you will find the hot spring (and when I say hot- it's unbearable to stand in when we went!!) The best way to do it is to get into to sea first that's cooler and then attempt the hot spring. Its even bubbling in places! A selection of tropical fish in the clear sea- take a snorkel. There was also a gazebo offering some volcanic mud treatments, I chose a face mud mask for 5 euro and you wash it off in the sea afterwards. We also saw mountain goats clinging on to the cliff edge which had everyone watching and praying they didn't fall! The walk back to the top could be difficult for some and a test of fitness. Overall a reccomended experience!

Amazing spot with a fantastic atmosphere. I suggest to visit it during the night. Very emotional. Water was very hot!

We returned from this hotel on Wednesday and it was absolutely stunning! Food was amazing and lots of options to choose from. Plenty of space around the infinity pool which the views were breathtaking. Staff were polite, friendly and could not do enough for you. The entertainment was brilliant! Loved the Arabian Dancers and the band. 100 % recommend this hotel. Our room was kept clean and bed freshly made every morning. Cannot fault anything and would definitely return.

Moved from Bodrum to Michelangelo Kos for a 3 night stay, just a 20min ferry ride. In contrast to MGallery Bodrum, this is an all inclusive hotel. Whilst rated 5 stars, the rooms are a 4 star rating in comparable hotels in Asia pacific. We stayed in a deluxe sea view room, with amazing views . The room floor plan is a little weird with a little sofa nock as you walk in then opens up to the rest of the suite. Comfy king bed with decent pillows. Room was clean and comfortable. The shower water temperature was annoyingly difficult to regulate during the busier times. Fridge, Tea and coffee making facilities available but coffee machine was not working and although they tried to fix it, it didn’t work. My wife, doesn’t cope very well in the mornings without her caffeine hit. Hotel facilities, an aging gym but decent enough gym to keep the alcohol and buffet food calories at bay. 2 pools are nice, one nearer the reception, no views just the pool. The main pool is a couple of flights of stairs down towards the sea. Big Beautiful pool, with amazing views across to Turkey. Pool bar and cafe serving all inclusive food, Breakfast to dinner. The main cafe is up near reception with many more options rotating daily, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The have other restaurants that you can pay a little extra for. For buffet meals the food quality was good. If not we have eaten elsewhere. All inclusive alcohol is standard drinks but decent enough. Location was about €17 by taxi each way (fixed price) or a 20min bus is €2 each way, bus stop outside front of hotel. Old town definitely worth a visit and bus a pretty easy option. Whilst it’s 20mins away, it’s quieter and offers amazing views. Decent hotel.

We spent a week here as a family and loved it. The star of this hotel is definitely the infinity pool- absolutely stunning views the kind you see in travel magazines but even better in real life, you just can’t stop taking pictures ( highly recommend to wake up at least one morning for the sunrise…. It’s so dreamy) Now the food… wow…Everything was fresh, tasty, perfectly cooked, and always hot. I’m not usually this excited about buffet hotel food, but this place nailed it. The whole place was very clean. The pool bar team was super friendly, and a special shout-out to Alina at the beach bar, hands down the most social, welcoming, and warm person I’ve met on holiday. She makes every guest feel like an old friend. Evenings were also nice. There was a different show every night. We saw dance performances (we learned belly dancing and Greek traditional dance 😁) live singing, and even had a fun disco night. For what we paid it was such good value. Would recommend this hotel.

We came here on honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The rooms are amazing, we had a lovely view of the sea. The infinity pool is great, shame it’s not heated, the swim up bar is great and the guys there are so attentive. The pool up by reception was also good, but the waterfalls weren’t on and the pool bar was never open while we were there. The beach was good but down a lot of stairs and because it’s stones and not sand you need crocs to go in the sea, which was warmer than the pools! The food was great, and was good it changed every night

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Michelangelo Resort & Spa! The entire property is stunning, with breathtaking sea views and an amazing infinity pool that makes you feel like you’re floating above the Aegean. Our room was modern, clean, and comfortable – perfect for a relaxing holiday. The staff throughout the resort were very friendly and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. A very special shoutout goes to the lovely Alina at the beach bar – she was incredibly kind and always served our drinks with a smile. Thanks to her, the beach bar became one of our favorite spots in the whole resort. The atmosphere there was calm and relaxing, the cocktails were delicious, and the sound of the waves made it all feel magical. The food at the resort was also excellent – fresh, varied, and flavorful from breakfast to dinner. All in all, a perfect getaway. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful escape.

We had a look online at different 4 star and above hotels on the island and decided this one seemed great, slightly out the way and good reviews. It was great. We arrived and were welcomed by the friendly staff who explained the details to us and handed a welcome pack. There was a €15 per day tourist charge which we didn’t know about but that’s on us for not researching. We chose the all inclusive package and were given wristbands to signify it, we showed them at the bars and at mealtimes. They were made from ribbon so not irritating at all. We were taken to our room by golf caddy and Room had a fantastic view. The beds are very comfy, and showers came with handwash, shower gel and conditioner/ moisturiser that was Rituals brand, a nice touch! The layout is abit strange with the bathroom and shower but it works. Our room had coffee and tea facilities which are replenished each day. And a little fridge that we kept water in. They also have a safe, robes and slippers. I suffer from migraines and the aircon was a massive help, it wasn’t noisy and was easy to control, you can also set it on a timer. The staff at the hotel were fantastic. The cleaning ladies we had were very friendly and did a great job. The servers were very friendly at meal times and were always checking on us. There were a few times we noticed guests being rude and they were always professional and kind. We made sure to let them know they were doing a great job. One gentleman Tony was very good and taught us some Greek! We spent more time near the beach area but afternoons near the pool. On our first day there was a young man working on the pool bar who was shouting and talking badly to another bar staff which put me off as I don’t like confrontation. Despite the second man walking away the first kept following him having a go. Throughout the stay we didn’t see the aggressive man again and the man who was being shouted at was actually the best staff there!! Unfortunately he didn’t wear a name tag but he was great, he always approached us asking if we wanted drinks to save us going to the bar, he gave recommendations and was overall very friendly, he had braces and wore protection on his neck and I would guess he was of Asian heritage. I would definitely nominate him for some internal award. The meals were great as I personally like to be adventurous with mealtimes, they had a great selection of fresh food. I ate something different at lunch and evening meal every day of the 10 days we stayed. There were fish and meat options for every meal, and a good section of veggie options too. I actually enjoyed the veggie options more! They had traditional Greek food some nights which was great. There were always soup, main, sweets desert and fruit. They even had spaghetti and pizza each night for those fussy eaters/kids. There were two separate restaurants from the main dining area, one called Soya that served Asian food and another Michelangelo that served more seafood. Included in the all inclusive package we could dine at one once a week without extra charge, we chose the Soya restaurant and the food was nice to the same quality as the main dining. It was good to try switch it up but I wouldn’t say it was of different quality to the rest of the food if we needed to pay. The beach bar had one lady staffing it who was accompanied by a stray cat who was lovely, she would feed the cat and tell stories about him it made great conversation. She made a great cocktail too. Of a morning she would put a crate of frozen water bottles on the bar for people to help themselves and it was a lifesaver! There’s also an app the hotel has where you can book these extra restaurants and the gym or Spa. We used the gym a few times and it was fine, there isn’t a tonne of space so can lead to waiting around for the machine you need, there are towels and water bottles and it’s air conditioned so it was good. We really recommend staying here. All the staff were great and friendly and by far the best part!

Well equipped and decent hotel. Food was ok but not particularly Greek + lacking in imagination too - and could be found at any buffet for An international / European hotel. We love Greek food and the choice didn’t really reflect the amazing produce you find across the country (probably the most disappointing in that regard of all the hotels we’ve stayed in Greece over the years). The pool and views are simply amazing however - great location. That said, the 45 min policy to remove “towels left unattended” on sun beds by the pool is not enforced meaning that you have to get up early to occupy a space (some selfish guests reserved the spots at 8am and didn’t turn up until midday for example). Both of these things can be addressed simply I think with a bit of hotel staff attentiveness to the issue and bit of creativity in the kitchen / sourcing of produce - as a good hotel otherwise.
