D' Andrea Lagoon All Suites - Adults Only

Adults only, beachfront and built around lagoon views, D' Andrea Lagoon All Suites is aimed squarely at couples who prefer a calm base rather than a family resort with a timetable of children's activities. You get suites, a private beach area, an outdoor pool and a garden, with the Mediterranean doing much of the visual work without requiring a sales pitch.

English, German and French are spoken by the hotel team, so you can discuss the useful things properly: arrival arrangements, dinner, a boat excursion or the logistics of getting to a dive centre. The atmosphere is suited to a two-person trip, with balconies or terraces for the part of the evening when your legs have had enough of being useful.

Your address is in Marmari, Greece, on the coast with direct access towards the beach. The hotel's own sandy shoreline is 50 metres away, with sun loungers and parasols available. Marmari Beach is around 1.5 miles away, while Tam Tam Beach is about 1 mile away; Golden Beach is roughly 2 miles from the property.

Kos International Airport is around 5 miles away, and the hotel places you about five minutes by car from Kos town. You are therefore close enough for an outing, but the immediate setting is still organised around the coast rather than town traffic. For a change of scenery, the Lido Water Park is about 5 miles away and Antimachia Castle around 4 miles away.

The accommodation is all-suite, with the choice that matters most after a day in the water: lagoon view or swim-up access. The Deluxe Lagoon View Suite suits a couple who want a balcony or terrace and a view to linger over, while a swim-up suite lets you move from room to water without making an expedition of it. The Superior options add more room for a third guest, and the Premium Swim Up Suite is the one to consider when space matters more than keeping things compact.

Air conditioning, soundproofing, a minibar and a private bathroom make the night easier after heat, salt and a long day outside. There is also a coffee machine and kettle, plus a seating area and desk, so you can have a quiet drink or sort out tomorrow's plans without balancing everything on the edge of the bed. Bathrobes, slippers, towels and toiletries are included; daily housekeeping keeps the practical side of the stay moving.

Views vary by suite, with pool and lagoon outlooks available. If you are choosing as a couple, the real decision is less about counting fittings and more about whether you want to watch the water from your terrace or step straight towards it. For three guests, choose one of the Superior or Premium options rather than asking a smaller suite to perform gymnastics.

Half-board is the house formula, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served at the Main Restaurant. Breakfast is a buffet with local specialities, fresh pastries and a range of drinks, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. The setting is indoors and air-conditioned, with a relaxed dress code; useful when you have returned from the morning's activities looking more functional than decorative.

Dinner gives you two routes. The Main Restaurant serves an international buffet with local dishes, while the A la Carte Restaurant moves to Mediterranean cooking on a terrace, with a smart-casual dress code and a more couple-oriented setting. It serves dinner only. There are two bars: the Pool Bar handles cocktails, cold drinks and snacks beside the water, while the Lobby Bar offers cocktails, drinks and snacks indoors.

Room service is available with limited hours, and breakfast can be brought to your room. The hotel also has an on-site coffee house, a snack bar and a minibar in the suites, so you are not entirely dependent on the restaurant timetable when you need something small rather than a full meal.

The main pool is outdoors, for adults only, and has a pool bar alongside it. Sun loungers, beach chairs, umbrellas and pool or beach towels are available, while the garden and sun terrace give you several places to stop moving. The private beach area is close enough for a barefoot change of plan rather than a transfer worthy of a dive boat.

The spa offers massages and facials, which is the sensible option when your shoulders have been carrying more than they strictly needed to. A fitness centre is available if you still feel the need to negotiate with your muscles. Tennis equipment and a tennis court provide something more active, while bicycles, bike tours, boat excursions, kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkelling offer ways to spend a non-diving day without sitting indoors.

The hotel can also arrange cultural outings, including a visit to Kos town and boat trips to neighbouring islands. Live music or performances provide an evening option beyond the bar, although the property remains more about an adult coastal stay than a full programme of organised entertainment.

Kos International Airport is around 5 miles away, with an airport shuttle available to arrange with the hotel. Car hire is also available, and free private parking is provided on site without a reservation. A concierge, luggage storage, 24-hour reception and private or express check-in and check-out keep the arrival and departure mechanics reasonably straightforward; bring photo identification for check-in and tell the hotel your expected arrival time.

WiFi is free throughout the property. Laundry, dry cleaning and ironing services are available, while a safety deposit box, daily housekeeping and room service cover the less glamorous jobs that still matter on a diving holiday. The property is non-smoking, accepts cash, Visa and Mastercard, and is for guests aged 18 and over. Children, pets and cots or extra beds are not accommodated.
