Latest reviews on Kos's beaches
Yahsi beach

Emiliana
This beach was a major disappointment. It was overcrowded with people and sunbeds, leaving little space to relax and enjoy the scenery. The hotels and restaurants had taken up so much of the beach that it felt like there was no beach left at all. To make matters worse, access to the sea was limited to a small scale. The beach was mostly private, so unless you were staying at a hotel, you couldn't enjoy it. The public beach was minuscule and did not make up for the lack of space. Perhaps it would be better to visit this beach during the off-season when it's less crowded, but even then, it's not the best place for snorkeling. We were so disappointed that we ended up spending our time at the pool instead. It's a shame because we had hoped for a better experience.

This beach in Bodrum is undoubtedly one of the most delightful sandy spots for families to enjoy. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fun-filled day out. The beach is fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, including food, changing rooms, and showers.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and it used to be quite good. The food was enjoyable and the rooms were clean. However, it has now become the worst hotel in Bodrum, and I would not recommend staying here for the following reasons:
1. The air-conditioning in the lobby and restaurants was not working, making it uncomfortably hot.
2. The lobby sofas were old and worn out, and the furniture overall was very old and dirty.
3. The sheets had a strong unpleasant odor, and despite complaints from myself and other guests, we were told that the washing and drying machines were not functioning properly.
4. The staff were unfriendly, and to our surprise, they would sit and eat in the restaurants alongside the guests. They even took priority in the food queue, which was quite frustrating.
5. The food options were limited and the menu seemed to be almost the same every day. Sometimes, they would serve reheated lunch food for dinner. The Chef definitely needs to be replaced, as we found hair, plastic rubber bands, and even dead insects in the food. It was unhygienic.
6. The check-in process was delayed by an hour and a half.
7. The staff were handling food with their bare hands, despite our request for them to use gloves. They claimed to not have any gloves available.
8. The water was cut off for 20 minutes during our stay, leaving us without access to a functioning toilet.
9. There was a 10-minute power outage.
10. We witnessed cleaners fighting in the corridor, and our room was not cleaned for two days. Additionally, there was no soap or toilet paper provided. We called the reception multiple times, but they were unresponsive.
11. The staff did not speak English well and seemed inexperienced.
Considering all these issues, I believe this hotel deserves a rating of less than one star.
