Mitsis Ramira Beach Hotel

Mitsis Ramira Beach Hotel is an all-inclusive resort on the Psalidi coast east of Kos Town, close to Psalidi Beach and within reach of the Port of Kos. The property details label it a five-star luxury property, and guests rate it as wonderful on the basis of over two hundred reviews, which makes it one of the better-reviewed large hotels in this part of the island. The resort style is relaxed and sociable rather than boutique, with an emphasis on food, drink, pools and activities all included in one price. There are 338 rooms. The type described is a double room with a sea view, with a minibar, safe, desk and soundproofing, and every room has air conditioning, a furnished balcony, bathrobes and twenty-four-hour room service. Since the details list only the sea-view double, ask the hotel about family arrangements and suites if you need them. Rooms in this style of resort are normally comfortable and functional, with the real appeal coming from the grounds and the facilities.

Dining is generous. Four restaurants serve breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner with local and international cuisine, backed by five bars and lounges, two poolside bars and a beach bar. All-inclusive means food and drink with some restrictions, so ask what is covered. Free breakfast, free parking and free WiFi in the rooms are part of the package, and a grocery shop on site covers basics.

For leisure, there are three outdoor pools, a children pool and a waterslide, with sun loungers and umbrellas. The private beach has loungers, umbrellas and towels, and water activities include rowing and canoeing, with motorised watercraft available on site. Land-based options include a spa, a gym with fitness classes, a tennis court and bike rentals, and babysitting is available for a surcharge. The details do not give distances, but Psalidi Beach is close and the port is nearby, so a taxi or a bike gets you to town easily.

Who is it for? Families and couples who want a hassle-free holiday, groups of friends who enjoy a lively resort and anyone who prefers to pay once and relax. It is less ideal for travellers who want to eat in different tavernas each night, as the best value comes from using the all-inclusive plan. The beach on this side of Kos is not the long soft sand of the north coast, so check recent photographs if sand is your priority.

Because details on seasonal closings are not stated, confirm the dates for spring and autumn. If you pair this hotel with day tours to Nisyros, Zia and the Asklepieion, you get a good balance of rest and discovery, and the all-inclusive rate keeps the budget predictable.
