One of the best holidays we have had if not the best. The whole family made us very welcombe all the time, nothing was to much trouble.
Mary was somthing special behind the bar which never seemed to close at night. In the morning we didn't mind the cockeral crowing at sun rise, even after going to bed a bit late...
The pool was excelent and very clean etc.
Kos town is very walkable 10 to 15 minutes, slowly.

The only down side on the holiday was during our return. We had our cameras taken from our baggage at the airport so we had no photos to show off.
We have just booked to return to the Bahamas Hotel again in 2008..

A steady 15 minutes stroll to the beach/shops/harbour or just lounge around the good sized pool. The sunbeds are free and padded cushions only 1 euro per day. Very reasonably priced drinks and a nice selection of snacks made by Mamma from the pool bar. The rooms are simple Greek style but spotless with a small fridge and optional air-con. Also two mugs but no rings so you'll need your kettles. We stayed in one of the rooms above the Bar facing the road which don't get direct sun so we didn't need the air-con despite 29 degrees last week. There were some vocal animals locally (and in the lounge) but with only the odd vehicle during the night we slept with one of the sliding doors open every night or should I say morning as we never got to bed before midnight. Breakfast is simple buffet style, cereals, fruit, bread/toast, cheese, ham (cake some mornings) and as much tea, coffee and weak orange juice as you can drink and if you need more you can get a full English from the pool bar for 6 euros. No doubt about it the hub of the hotel was the bar/lounge. Three tv's and again very reasonably priced drinks and well used by most of the English Guests (many of who are multiple visitors) Nothing was too much trouble for the Sons Bill and Kostas who'd just installed John Smiths Smooth last week which went down a treat. And then there was Mad Mary behind the bar. She had everybody clapping and joining in the Greek Dancing during the BBQ and the bingo and karaoki nights were a scream.

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable week and I'd have no hesitation to return or recommend The Bahamas to anyone of all ages.

We checked the reviews on tripadvisor before booking a weeks stay at the Bahamas through Thomsons and we were not disappointed.

The hotel is clean and basic, the pool area was very nice with no problems finding a sun lounger. The real selling point for the hotel, as all the reviews mention, is the family who runs it, they are very welcoming and extremely friendly, the friendliness is contagious and you find yourself recognising and greeting other hotel guests when around Kos town.

Billy and Costas who run the hotel bar in the evening will stay open as long as you like but are very conscious of other guests, so if you do want an early night you will not be bothered by any noise. If you do go and they hold an evening of entertainment but sure to go, on the nights we were there all ages were joining in and had a fantastic time.

i would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

Small family run hotel as the reports say. All the family are very helpful and the sons Costas and Billy help with everything they can.

Extremely clean and friendly. Mary is life and soul of the bar area.

If you want a fairly central hotel which allows you access easily to the rest of the island with a friendly family atmosphere at reasonable prices then this is a good place to go.

You will always get the moaners who are looking for something that they are not willing to pay for and that is life. However what they have to moan about is really beyond me.

My best regards to all the family - I hope they keep in touch.
