Kouros Exclusive Suites - Adults Only

Adults only, with 63 rooms spread across two floors, Kouros Exclusive Suites is set up for a stay built around comfort rather than family logistics. The atmosphere is easy to picture: a pool, a garden, terraces, a bar and enough room to slow the pace between outings.

You will be understood in English, and Greek is also spoken by the hotel team. That matters when you need to arrange a transfer, ask about dinner or sort out the small practicalities that are easier handled face to face.

The hotel suits you if the evening matters almost as much as the day: a swim, a massage, a drink by the pool and dinner served outside. There is also a library for a quieter hour, while Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.

The address is in Faliraki, on Rhodes, close to the town centre and within walking distance of the coast. Faliraki Beach, Anthony Quinn Bay and Faliraki Water Park are among the nearby places to reach from the hotel, giving you a choice between a straightforward beach day and a more active outing.

The beach comes with loungers and parasols, and the hotel also provides beach equipment. Back at the property, the outdoor pool gives you another place to cool down without having to organise anything more ambitious than finding a chair.

A car is useful for seeing more of the island, and free on-site parking makes that option uncomplicated. Car hire is available through the hotel, while airport transfers can be arranged in either a private or shared form through the property.

The room choice is mainly about how much space and separation you want around the bed, rather than about collecting another hotel category. Couples can keep things simple with a double room or one of the double suites, while the two-bedroom suite is the practical choice when four people need to share without turning the night into a game of furniture Tetris.

For a more self-contained stay, the penthouse and executive, premium or loft suites add the feel of a suite rather than a standard hotel room. The penthouse has a view, while the Villa Noura brings a sea view, kitchen, dining area, microwave and fireplace into the picture. That is the option for a longer stay or for anyone who likes having somewhere to sit and make the room work a little harder.

Air conditioning is available in the rooms, with heating for cooler nights. Blackout blinds should help when an early start is on the agenda, and soundproofing is present in several categories. Depending on your choice, you also get a balcony, fridge or minibar, tea and coffee facilities, a safe, Wi-Fi and a private bathroom with shower. Room service is available on request, which is handy when the sensible plan is food without another trip downstairs.

Breakfast is a buffet served from 7.30 to 10.30, with fresh juice, fresh fruit, homemade pastries, freshly brewed coffee, local flavours and Greek tastes. It is the sort of spread that gives you a real start to the day rather than leaving you to negotiate the first meal with a packet of biscuits.

Dinner takes place at Terra Med Restaurant, an al fresco terrace restaurant serving Mediterranean Asian fusion cuisine from 19.00 to 23.45. The combination is more specific than the usual resort shorthand: Mediterranean ingredients and flavours meet Asian influences, with dishes prepared fresh for the evening.

There are two bars. Terra Med Bar concentrates on cocktails and wine, while Pleoni Pool Bar serves cocktails and smoothies beside the outdoor pool. A snack bar, café and bottled water are also available, and room service can be requested. The exact meal arrangement depends on the room booking, so check whether breakfast or another meal is included before you confirm.

The outdoor pool is the obvious place to spend an unhurried afternoon, with pool equipment and pool towels available. The beach is also within walking distance, with loungers and parasols ready for a change of scenery rather than another organised activity.

For recovery, the Massage Room offers massage treatments daily on request. That can be a useful part of the routine when shoulders have had enough of carrying bags, cameras and the rest of the day’s equipment. The spa is available as a paid service, so it is worth treating it as an optional extra rather than assuming it sits inside the room arrangement.

Away from the water, the hotel offers a library, a sun terrace, bicycle hire, hiking and fishing. Golf and cultural excursions are also part of the wider choice. You can keep the day gently active, or simply move between the pool, the terrace and the bar until dinner makes the decision for you.

Check-in runs from 15.00 to midnight, with check-out by 11.00. The reception is open around the clock, and express check-out is available. Early arrival or a later departure can be arranged for an additional charge, subject to availability.

Airport transfers are available through the hotel, and car hire can be arranged on site. Free parking is provided for guests arriving with their own vehicle. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, while laundry, dry-cleaning and ironing services are available for the practical jobs that tend to accumulate during a longer island stay.

Visa, Mastercard, Visa Electron, American Express, PayPal, bank transfer and cash are accepted. The hotel also has a safe at reception, concierge services and accessibility facilities. Rooms and public areas include smoking areas, while the accommodation itself is also presented as non-smoking.
