We recently returned from a wonderful week-long, all-inclusive trip to Holiday Village Atlantica Mikri Poli Kos, and it was exactly what we needed! After a busy year, it was fantastic to have a break from the usual routine and just relax.
One of the absolute highlights for Thom was, of course, the kids' club. He had an amazing time, especially enjoying the water slides and spending hours splashing around in the swimming pools. It's always great to see him so happy and entertained, and it definitely gave us a chance to unwind a bit more, knowing he was having a blast in a safe and fun environment.
Delicious Dining and Fantastic Entertainment
The food at the resort was mostly good, offering something for everyone. The main buffet restaurant was brilliant, with a great mix of Greek and British dishes, ensuring there were always familiar favourites and exciting new tastes to try. We especially loved the themed nights, like the Mexican day with delicious burritos and chili con carne – a really fun touch! While we didn't particularly enjoy the Greek specialty restaurant, the variety and quality at the buffet more than made up for it.
The kids' entertainment was also a huge hit. The Amphi-theatre was the hub for all the evening fun, hosting a lively kids' disco and various other entertaining shows that kept the little ones enthralled. It was lovely to see Thom and all the other children dancing and having such a good time.
Relaxation and Keeping Active
While Thom was enjoying the kids' club, we even managed to sneak in some well-deserved relaxation at the resort's spa. We both enjoyed a fantastic massage one day, which was pure bliss! It was wonderful to have that time to ourselves to truly unwind. And speaking of keeping active, I was also able to get my training sessions in at the gym, which was a huge bonus for me. As a keen runner who will be tackling the Chicago Marathon this year, maintaining my routine even on holiday is important!
Exploring (or Not) Beyond the Resort
Although the resort offered so much, we did venture out briefly one day. There's a village just a short 1km walk away, which we explored, but we didn't see much more of Kos beyond that. There was also a convenient bus service to the capital, but given how warm it was during our stay, we mostly chose to enjoy all the amenities and comfort of the resort itself.
For us, the all-inclusive aspect made the trip incredibly easy and stress-free. Not having to worry about meals or activities was a true luxury. We loved being able to just go with the flow, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and simply soak up the sunshine. It was lovely to have the freedom to do as much or as little as we wanted, without any pressure.
Kos itself is a beautiful island, and the resort provided a perfect base for our family. It was exactly the kind of rejuvenating break we were hoping for.
