Grecotel Casa Paradiso

The resort and its setting

Grecotel Casa Paradiso is a casual, beach-facing resort in Marmari, a quiet coastal village on Kos's north shore. Accommodation is split between standard rooms and bungalows, and the resort runs on an all-inclusive, buffet-dining basis, with an outdoor pool on site alongside direct beach access. It's an independent resort — not part of a major timeshare brand — which shapes how resale and transfers work (more on that below). Google reviewers rate it 4.3 out of 5 from over 1,150 reviews, describing it as a relaxed, no-frills base for a beach holiday rather than a luxury complex.

The area and things to do

Marmari itself is low-key — a sandy beach village rather than a nightlife hub — which suits owners and renters who want a quiet week by the sea. Kos Town, the island's lively capital with its harbour, old town and castle, is about 13 kilometres away. History fans can head to the Ancient Asklepieion ruins, roughly 8 kilometres away, one of the most important archaeological sites in the Dodecanese. From Kos you can also hop by ferry to the small island of Pserimos for a day trip, or explore the traditional inland villages where island life moves at a slower pace. Snorkelling, sailing and windsurfing are all popular along this stretch of coast.

Selling or renting a week here

BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: there's no agency setting prices on your behalf. You decide the asking price for your week, list it, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. Sellers pay a one-time listing fee and there's 0% commission on the sale, so whatever you agree with a buyer is yours.

Because Casa Paradiso is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a big brand's title transfer office. Instead, transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, who will confirm the week, unit type and any right of first refusal that may apply. Before you agree a price with a buyer, ask management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't standardised across independent resorts, so always confirm them in writing rather than relying on what a previous owner paid.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights to the specific week and unit as registered with the resort, but not necessarily any loyalty perks, promotional upgrades, or add-ons the original owner may have been offered at purchase — confirm exactly what transfers with the resort before closing.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters are typically looking at this resort for a straightforward, affordable beach week — buffet meals included, pool on site, and the beach a few steps away — rather than a resort with extensive facilities, so set expectations accordingly in your listing. Kos International Airport is around 30 kilometres from Marmari, with straightforward transfer options to the resort, which is worth mentioning to prospective renters planning their own flights.

Good to know before you list

Have your week number, unit type, and current maintenance fee statement ready before creating your listing — buyers and renters will ask for these early on. If you're unsure who currently manages owner relations at Casa Paradiso, the resort's own front desk or owners' association is the right first point of contact, not a resale agency.
