Where do I begin? A good place to start is that after two days at OKU, we extended our holiday by another five days. My husband and I needed to get away and properly disconnect from the world, and OKU was the perfect place to do this. Firstly, I want to personally thank two women who I believe are an absolute asset to the OKU brand, always reassuring, warm, and going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Elena in customer service. Whether it was helping arrange boat trips or setting up a romantic beach dinner for my husband's birthday, her attention to detail (and patience) was unparalleled. I have never received such attentive customer service, from finding a charger for me when my Kindle died in the middle of a wonderful book to offering countless other thoughtful gestures. Faye, the therapist in the wellness centre, really looked after us. She has such a beautiful soul. We even visited her family's restaurant, which was so beautiful that it felt like you were at the edge of the earth. Both women made our stay truly unforgettable. The hotel itself is exactly what you need for a bit of R&R - yoga mats provided in your room, amazing spa and gym facilities, a perfect pool with lounges, and plenty of space to kick back and play backgammon (with a glass of something amazing made by the incredible bar staff - ask for tequila or mezcal-based cocktails - you won't be disappointed). The food was fabulous - 10/10 breakfasts! The perfect sandy beach, where you can lounge all day (ring the bell for f&b), and rooms you won't want to leave - especially if you have your own pool. In short, it was perfect. Kos is an island which you might write off as being too touristy, but I recommend you rethink that position - OKU is truly secluded bliss. And if you fancy getting involved, there are lots of friendly taxi drivers willing to transport you to all corners of this rather fabulous island.
