I've been coming to Kos for 10 years and visited a lot of the Dodecanese islands and some parts of mainland in my life so have experienced the Greek peoples kindness, generosity and hospitality well.
This hotel has beautiful views of the ocean and coastline, lovely picturesque scenery of the premium bungalows and during the day it can be quiet and peaceful (we came in October, end of season so Kos is usually quiet in general).
However, for the meals, especially in the evening it can be a hectic confusing experience of queuing for upto an hour to just enter the restaurant area, due to excess of guests and lack of seating facilities, (some food may also run out during this time). Upon entry you are seated by staff before getting your food but if you do leave your seat to get your food, you will 100% have someone swoop in there and take it even though it's just been given to you by that staff member, so I would grab a plate of food first before being seated. You cannot get your own drinks in the evening meal, you have to wait until one of the few staff available notice you and will then come over and ask you which drink you would like, usually by this time you have nearly finished your meal.
There's quite a lack of staff available here and so wait time can be long for restaurant and also the bar, often queuing for both.
Room consumables are rarely replenished often meaning you will have to go to the front desk and ask for toilet roll, coffee, sugar etc.
It seems the hotel is trying to be a resort without the facilities or infrastructure required for this, with too many people for a lack of facilities. As this is low season I am unsure how the hotel coped during the summer months when it is peak holiday season.
I would also add it seems a lot of the guests get heavily drunk off the inclusive cocktails throughout the day which leaves for very noisy and interruptive evenings and nights, not one night was managed to sleep a full night undisturbed. There was more than 3 occasions where we could hear and see domestic altercations and hear damage to hotel property from the guests.
I would highly recommend using your room safe/putting valuables back into your suitcase and locking it when leaving your room as there was an incident during my stay that would have resulted in the attention of the police, a valuable necklace that was usually left in a particular spot next to my bedside (Kos had always been safe to do this) went missing when we got back from our day trip, it "miraculously" was found behind the fridge (?) the day after we had reported it to front desk, emailed explaining if it was not found we would need to contact local police for insurance purposes and called our holiday representative to inform them of the missing item.
We lost trust in this hotel and would hate for this to be someone's first experience of Kos as it is a wonderful island with lovely people. We changed hotels midway through due to this experience, our holiday rep was able to sort out the transfers from the second hotel to the airport which was kind.
Aeolos is a picturesque hotel with great potential, however all of the above has dampened our stay and we would not want this to be a similar experience for others if this is your first time coming to Kos.

This stay has been absolutely magical.
We are a couple who live extremely busy lifestyles, and high stress jobs , so to walk into utter relaxation is just what we needed.
We always choose start or end of season, for a quiet atmosphere, and this resort did not disappoint. It was quiet, some days feeling like we had the luxury of a whole pool & beach to ourselves, but the hotel kept full service as normal.
We chose the premium rooms , and they were comfortable with stunning views , especially sun set.
The staff were so friendly, every staff member, from shop, kitchen, waiters, maintenance and of course the lovely reception staff, nothing was too much , from friendly chats , to local knowledge or helping us hire a car . We also had a frequent cat visitor, who ended up getting injured, he also was not neutered and the hotel arranged for him to get treatment, I also found out that the hotel paid for cats to get neutered, to help take the pressure of the local rescues, i just find this amazing.
The food was beautiful, we were really worried about this reading the reviews , but it was just as beautiful as the town taverns, im happy they keep it authentic Greek.
I have not got enough time to describe how much i love this place, I always say I would never visit a place more than once, and I always find beautiful places , but nothing that gives the feeling this hotel did, I can't wait to visit again.
The only small thing I would change is the blanketsn/ toppers , they are single and we would prefer to be under the same one , but that's preference, the beds were very comfortable.
I have no idea how this hotel can get any negative reviews as it is perfect.
Thankyou for a magical stay

Great hotel. Food was flavoursome, though if staying for a couple of weeks could become repetitive. Pretty isolated so you'll either need to hire a car (driving is really easy in Kos) or other transport.

I recently stayed at the All Ink Hotel for 5 days, and unfortunately, the food experience was very disappointing. They served the same dishes every single day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — with no variety at all. It became boring and repetitive very quickly.
If you don’t mind eating the same food every day, then this hotel might work for you.

Rated five stars... this is an all-inclusive four star hotel, and suited us perfectly. We stayed in a first floor "premium bungalow." It was a beautiful room, serviced daily, with a big balcony overlooking the quiet area pool and over the sea. The layout of the resort makes it feel so spacious - wide paths, grassed areas; there seemed to be plenty of sunbeds with guests free to move them near the sea.
The beach is a shallow strip with pebbles to get over to the sand - my sensitive feet needed beach shoes to get in to the welcoming waves of the Med.
The food... not nearly Michelin starred, but very tasty and plentiful. If you're disciplined (I'm not!) and don't surf the buffet, you could have a different decent meal every night and there are good varied salads... I've certainly had worse food at all-inclusive hotels - and paid a lot more for similar food. The wine however is fairly grim - buying a bottle of the local wine in the perfectly located Tranquilo (and presumably the main) restaurant cost 16 Euros and was delicious.
Walking... you can walk along the beach for about 5 minutes north to a bar that serves food and a bit further on in the road is another. You can walk south along the beach for less than an hour to Tigaki with a wealth of Tavernas etc. A walk north along the road for about half an hour will take you to a gift and food shop and another taverna.
A walk of just over an hour would take you to the resort of Lambi and on into Kos - also reached by renting a bike or e bike at the hotel, the hotel shuttle, or the island bus service.
All staff were friendly and helpful - remarkable as most seemed to work every day from 7 am - 11 pm.
We had a lovely holiday!
