Gaia Village Hotel

“Lovely hotel, we will be back”

We had the best time at this hotel We arrived at around 2pm, quick check in and all information we needed was given plus a clear map and directions to our room.

We had the best time at this hotel We arrived at around 2pm, quick check in and all information we needed was given plus a clear map and directions to our room. We had a standard double room and it was clean with plenty of space. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels every other day. The pool and gardens where kept lovely and clean. Pool a little cool but was welcome with the heat. The all inclusive drinks where a bit of a let down but there was still enough. All the staff where brilliant and always smiling. The animation team where really good and seemed to work their back sides off, with lots of activities going on throughout the day. Evening entertainment was quite good also and very lively. My only negative would be the food it was very hit and miss. We went out most evenings to eat.

“Surprisingly great hotel! 🙂”

A positive surprise. The hotel has 3 stars, but taking into account the impression he made on us, he could easily try to 4 stars 🙂. Check in was very fast and efficient. We had a family room (3 adults) which actually consisted of 2 rooms, a corridor, a bathroom and a balcony (1st floor in bungalow)… more

A positive surprise. The hotel has 3 stars, but taking into account the impression he made on us, he could easily try to 4 stars 🙂. Check in was very fast and efficient. We had a family room (3 adults) which actually consisted of 2 rooms, a corridor, a bathroom and a balcony (1st floor in bungalow). The whole spacious, cleaned daily with the replacement of towels. Large balcony, with a table and chairs. Equipped with fridge, wardrobe, hair dryer, air conditioning. The hotel has two pools: small and large (main). A bar with drinks and snacks with each of them. A large pool quite deep, which suited us. Usually you could find free sunbeds, even in the afternoon. The downside for us was that umbrellas could be "set" only to a certain height, which translated to the fact that many times we hit our heads 😉 Drinks in the bar in the all inclusive formula basic, but good. Colorful drinks paid, but for little money. The hotel has animations, although not very sophisticated, but considering that the hotel is 3*, they were still a great positive surprise for us 🙂 Zumba in water, darts, stretching, pilates, plays in ping pong or football and basketball matches. In the evenings there were also some animations every day: mini disco, Greek evening, quiz, karaoke, etc. The hotel is about 5 minutes from the center of Tigaki and about 8 minutes from the beach. On the beach, sunbeds and umbrellas paid, but you can also spread next to your own towel. In our opinion, one of the biggest advantages of this hotel is food! We have a comparison with 4* and 5* hotels in Turkey, Bulgaria, Egypt, Tunisia, Albania - and yet in the inconspicuous Gaia Village in Greece food was the best of all. The choice may not be huge, but everything is tasty, well seasoned, prepared from non -detailed products. Evenings appeared: Italian, Turkish, Greek, German. Delicious desserts also deserve attention! Heaven in the mouth 🙂 Hotel service also for a big plus, everyone is nice and smiling. Summer: Gaia Village is a pleasant surprise for us: for a small money you can have a really pleasant standard that has exceeded our expectations. The hotel will be nice to remember and recommend 🙂

We recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. There were definitely some positives, but also a few things that let the stay down. Positives: ✅The staff were lovely and always friendly. From reception to the bar staff and cleaners, everyone was polite and welcoming. ✅The location was excellent — just a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go, which made exploring the area really convenient. ✅Our room was cleaned daily, which we appreciated, although the cleaners did sometimes come quite early. Negatives: ❌The food became repetitive quite quickly and didn't really cater for English guests. A bit more variety and some international options would have been appreciated. ❌One of the biggest issues for us was the smoking during the evening entertainment. As someone currently pregnant, it was very uncomfortable to sit there with constant smoke around us. It would really improve the experience to have a clearly designated smoking area away from the main seating. ❌The beds were very uncomfortable, which affected how well we slept. ❌The all-inclusive drinks package was very limited — we were surprised that even popular local drinks like Mythos beer weren't included and had to be paid for. ❌Our room was dated and not like the pictures online. The shower setup was especially poor — the shower head was awkwardly placed on the side wall, making it hard to shower properly. The shower curtain was dirty, stuck to you while showering, and felt unhygienic. A proper glass screen and repositioning of the shower would make a big difference. Overall, the hotel has potential thanks to its great staff and location, but it could really benefit from a few key improvements in comfort, facilities, and how the all-inclusive service is delivered.

“Don't book”

I wish I'd have properly read some of the reviews before booking as I wouldn't have booked. Our room was dated and nothing like what was shown in the picture with the view being a giant overgrown tree you couldn't see through.

I wish I'd have properly read some of the reviews before booking as I wouldn't have booked. Our room was dated and nothing like what was shown in the picture with the view being a giant overgrown tree you couldn't see through. Have to say as far as drinks hoes this is the worst all inclusive hotel I've ever been to. Only alcoholic dri is available ar beer, as a couple of house spirits. No cocktails unless you want to pay extra. No ice cream as only for children. Entertainment was very poor with some nights having nothing on and others very mediocre. Larger pool is smaller than it looks in photos with the loungers in need of repair. On the plus side the food was pretty good. Good location and Tigaki itself a lovely place to wander around. Close to bus stop to get into Kos town and places to book excursions. I'd recommend the area but definitely not the hotel.
