" Everything we could have wanted for a great family holiday! "

My wife and I stayed here for 2 weeks with our 4 year old twin daughters and my sister and brother-in-law. We had read mixed reviews, so were a bit apprehensive, but looking forward to it. It was the first time we had ever tried all inclusive.
I am delighted to say that the experience was nothing but positive. The staff we friendly, the accomodation was satisfactory and the facilities were good. The Kids' club gave us a break a couple of times during the week abd "Steff" and "Alessio" did a great job. The evening entertainment, was not exactly West End, but for a low-cost family holiday, it was ideal. The animation team kept things ticking during the day, but were never pushy. We found friendship with some of the other guests, but wished that some had kept better control over their kids (especially at the self-service buffet meals). This was almost certainly the best holiday any of us have ever had.
The biggest negative was that the beach was rather more shingle than the brochure had lead us to expect, but the pool area was great. Being fairly early in the season we did not have any difficulty getting sunbeds, but can imagine that it may be an issue in the height of the Summer. We would recommend this Hotel without hesitation.

" WELL WORTH A VISIT!! "

Just got back from a holiday for one week here, wish we could of stayed longer. Great choice of food, friendly staff, and clean. Weather great, very hot, ideal for those who like to relax, or even for those who like to keep busy, water sports available, pedal boats, glass bottom boat trips, para-sailing,bus jouneys short, 20 mins to Rhodes Old Town, which is a definate to visit. Also 50 mins to Lindos, which is an amazing city. 40 min walk to Faliraki, quiet during the day, lots of shops, night life at night. Would definatley make a return visit, this was recommended by a friend to us, we would most certaintly recommend this resort to other people. The only down side was the transfer from the airport, said in the brochure 25mins, took 1 hour 20 mins, we were the last but on drop off.

Advice: DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK HERE!! YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED

Activities: LINDOS IS A MUST, WISH WE STAYED LONGER

" Very enjoyable visit "

I would recommend this Hotel to families, couples and even small groups as there were a few and well behaved i might add. Like its guests the hotel staff were friendly and spoke good English despite coming from numerous countries across Europe. The Hotel was a clean tidy well furnished building in an good relaxed location with good entertainment and features. The food had a wide range of varieties throughout the whole day. Its only 100m or so away from the huge Waterpark. I would defintely return there.

Advice: Quite and relaxing location

Activities: Waterpark and boat rides. Small taxi ride to faliraki approx 6euros

" Ignore the others, we loved it! "

What a fantastic holiday, we arrived in the night and was shown to our room, which yes was dated but was very suprised at how big it was! there was plenty of storage space for our things. There was water provided in the fridge in our room.
We are a young family of 4, myself my husband and our 2 girls who are 1 and 3 and this hotel was perfect for us. It is on the beach so we could go back and forth with ease. The kids club was great and was a great place to get out of the midday sun, my 3 yr old made alsorts of keyrings and bracelets and pictures with sand all of wich must have cost allot of money to fund yet this was a free service!
The food was lovely so much on offer that we never got bored, the bbq on the beach and the chinese make a lovely change.
The staff were all really nice and made a fuss of the kids all the time and even remembered their names!
The entertainment was really good the kids loved all the dances and the costume changes.
I ate so much i started to join in the water aerobics in my second week which was so much fun!
If i would have read these reviews before going i would be in a right panic! that is why i feel inclined to add mine now! i dont know what hotel these people went to but it sure wasnt the same holiday that we went on. We are looking into going back next year because i dont think any other will compare to this one.

Advice: quiet but lovely

Activities: rhodes town

" DO NOT GO HERE!! HORROS!! "

OKOKOK, where do i start? firstly arriving at this hotel at 4am to find no shops open or anywhere u could get a drink. in a family of 6 with the youngest being 3, we was gasping for a drink. reception staff told us that there were no drinks available and the nearsest shop was 10 mitues away in a taxi. so we had to wait sevrel hours later for breakfast.
secondly we asked for a first floor room as the youngest was quite hyperactive and needed a low rise room, we were told that we were guarnteed a first floor roomm when book and got a 5th floor room and was told we had to wait till next day to change room if available. then we were separted as a family in differnt blocks, with 1 half being in a old haunted hole, which further on in the hoilday trapped 3 people in, and was told to move rooms at 3am with cleaners help.???
entertaiment, WHAT ENTERTAINMENT. the shows was more like a primary schoool drama class, with the youngest russian entertainer being a flirt, which coursed tention beetween alot of people. and on one of the last nites, the lighting fell down in the hotel nearly killed one lady, and a family member who was 14 who was sitting right next to her.it was like somthing out of casturelty, as paramedics and police swarmed the hotel.and the next day itm was like nothing had happend.
food was ok, but as someone has already said drinks was waterd down so much the fizz went out within seconds of being pured into a small plastic cheap cup.
and somtimes then u would be giving the wrong drink by the very rude bar staff who was very rude through out the hoilday.
also if uve got kids and ur going here, watch at all times as our 3 year old nearly drownd while the life guard was playing on his phone, and even then when he saw him drowing he walked over casuley, 3 people had already jumped in at this point. then we got told after not to jump in, even tho we were jumping in to save him!!
also our 3 year went to see the playgroup and was welcomed with a dirty look and one of the girls snatching paints off us, like we did somtheing wrong, VERY RUDE!
and the lifts also another drama in it selfs u had to be linthen kristy to get in or ud be shut in the doors like our pushchair did. or some old guys arm!?!
this hotel is not a 4 star, its more like a 2 and thats being nice. dont get me wrong tho restraunt staff was brillant!! but as for the rest very rude!! and i will not be returning!

" Just returned from an 11 night... "

Just returned from an 11 night holiday at this hotel and resort. The resort and the location of this hotel was purfect, both Rhodes Town and Falaraki were just a short taxi ride away. As for the Hotel where do i start - The hotel is rated a 4 star and although very clean and the food was fantasic the best that i have ever had on an all inculsive holiday, it was very old fashioned and looked as though it was from the seventies. When was the last time you had carpet in your hotel room abroad?
It was directly on the beach but this was described as wide and very sandy and yes it was wide but i wouldn't call it sandy it was very coarse and partly pebbley.
The animation team at the hotel was awful - the entertainment really let this Hotel down
the shows if you could call them that were terrible and unless you were sitting right at the front you couldn't hear anything as they didn't use microphones - also although they didn't swear in words they were forever making rude hand gestures to each other - which lead to the children asking questions, this is meant to be a family hotel. However we were on holiday with friends and had a fantasic time the weather was great didn't see a cloud for the whole time we were there.

" Three words "don't go there"! No way... "

Three words "don't go there"! No way is this a 4 star hotel, not even a 3 star. We've been to Greece lots of times over the past few years and this was the worse hotel we've ever stayed in. Far too large (700 rooms), mostly Russian, Polish, Lithuanian and Austrian with no manners whatsoever. Big groups of teenagers on what could possibly be school trips. The hotel was on the beach but you were charged for your sunbeds on the beach and when queried with the hotel they said they didn't own the beach, although the man collecting the money was one of their employees.

Good points:
Room was very clean although the place needed some updating.
Reception staff very good.
Beach was quite nice only pebbly when you got the water's edge but you can buy some special shoes that you can wear in the sea, which was the cleanest sea I've seen for a long time.
As long as you got your towel on a sunbed by 8.30am you were ok!

Bad points:
In the middle of nowhere! 3km from Faliraki and 12km from Rhodes. Easy to get a bus into but when you've paid all inclusive you don't expect to have to travel out for your entertainment. In close proximity: one restaurant, one bar and about 4 market type shops.
Not suitable for couples unless its lots of couples all going together.
Bad mannered people.
Three lifts which only held 6 people each serviced the entire hotel, you spent ages waiting for one and then when it came along, people just pushed in front of you.
5 ladies toilets in the pool vicinity to accommodate probably over 700 women and children and only cleaned once a day!
Drinks at the bar served in small cheap plastic cups, you never got a pint of beer it was always a small plastic cup.
Food - repetitive and seldom hot! Although there was lots of food all day long, it was the same. When a particular dish ran out, it took the staff quite a while to replenish the trays for people.
Restaurant staff worked very hard but got treated poorly by holidaymakers and didn't want to make conversation with you.
I had severe stomuch upset one day from one of the drinks in the Central Bar and then another day my husband had severe stomuch upset and sickness at the same time and couldn't eat for 24 hours after a drink from the Central Bar!
Everything you wanted in the restaurant was like a conveyor belt, even your tea and coffee you would have to go and get from a vending machine. Other hotels we've visited and you were shown to a table and asked if you would like tea or coffee and in the evening wine, beer or soft drinks and it would be brought to you by the restuarant staff (this happens at the Iberostar or Mitsis chain of hotels) .
Entertainment - WHAT ENTERTAINMENT! Kiddies mini-disco from 8.45 to 9.20 and then you had to wait about 20-25 mins for the "adult" show to start which then was so poor we walked out within 5 minutes.
Disco - again very poor and not for adults only, kiddies still running around all night.
We paid £1500 for our holiday and to be quite honest, I wouldn't have paid £500 for this if I'd known more about it. It's put us off all inclusive and next time we're going self catering.

" We arrived independently at 5 in the... "

We arrived independently at 5 in the morning, 7 of us in total, we had booked 2 rooms, myself & partener + 2 boys, second room 3 teenagers.
The night time manager upgraded the 4 of us from a family room to a large sweet.
The 3 tenagers 18,19,19, ended up in a double room with 3 single beds. ( they didnt care, after all wine women & song s all that occupied there tunnel visioned minds )
The rooms were very clean & the maids friendly
Staff in various bars throughout the complex ranged from cordial to miserable and quite unfriendly this also included daytime receptionists. What a shame!!
Instance 1
i asked for a brandy & baileys, when i was presented with the drink i was told by the bar women in no uncertain terms, make this your fisrt & make this your last!! ( charming eh! )
instance 2
my son handed the key over to reception, when he came back to collect it it was not there, so he came and got me, after some time arguing with the snotty nosed receptionist in which she was addamant that no key had been handed over by him it produced by the other lady behind the desk, no appology ensued. (must be the time of the month love eh! )
But lets get things straight over all it was a lovelly hotel, a bit repetative as with anywhere i suppose. But most of all the kids enjoyed it. Warning to adults im sure the drinks were watered down? If bored which you might be, go to Kellys irish bar on right hand side when entering Faliraki ( opposite fair ground ) great karioki and sing along & that will get you sozzled.

" The rooms were basic and in need of... "

The rooms were basic and in need of upgrading, however they were spotlessly clean and the linen and towels were changed daily. At the end of the day, we only slept in the rooms and they were perfectly adequate for our needs.

The staff in the hotel were superb and could not do enough for you. The reception staff, bar staff, restaurant staff - they went out of their way to help.

The food was superb. So much choice and always fresh and piping hot.

The only thing that let this hotel down was the entertainment. The animation staff did their best but the hotel could have done with a professional show maybe once or twice a week. In saying that though, it was early season, and my kids loved it!!!

Kids club was excellent.

" This is the second time me and my... "

This is the second time me and my wife have been to this hotel in the last 3 years and it was as good the second time round as the first.

The food, accommodation, facilities, cleanliness, staff, rooms, service and drink were very good and of a high standard. The entertainment could have been a bit better.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Whilst I was there I had toothache and the hotel staff after speaking to them were very helpful and they had arranged for me an appointment with the local dentist within two and a half hours of asking.

" We booked our holiday here as a first... "

We booked our holiday here as a first for not only Rhodes but all inclusive too, and we read review after review some good some bad. We were of 2 minds what it would be like. We arrived early in morning got great welcome smile (yes even at 04:30) from staff. From there on it was a fantastic holiday, we were on first name terms with most of staff by first week and our 4 year old zack was treated like a grown up everyone loved him (well apart from one german couple in their 90's who grunted something at him for playing to close to them).

The animation staff were superb and hard-working, try talking to them, you will learn how much effort they put into their shows from morning till night they slogged hard to keep everyone involved. My hats off to them for their patience with our wee one. The kids club was run well with loads to see and do and our lad thought it great they had a pram(?).

Food was - as my waist now proves- great and plentiful once you push past all the Germans (okay some Germans). Deckchairs were a bit of a nuisance but management have a sign erected to say towels will be collected if left out and when we asked for it to be done it was, and we got some nice poolside seats but there was more than enough. I read one review to say beach deckchairs cost 3 euro's ?? No one ever charged me for the 14 days nor anyone I asked. Think someone was chancing arm.

We plan to book again next year already just to meet the staff again. Complaints about the "greek night" and plastic glasses and poor english ?? your in greece expect them to speak greek ??? and play greek music if you came to Scotland would you be offended if I played the bagpipes? plastic glasses as everyone knows were only around the pools for safety reasons.

Visit Rhodes Town and walk across road to Water Park. Great location and great hotel and great staff. I mean even Zack cheekily asked a lad in tie and shirt "I'm finished my dinner" he came over laughed and cleared our dishes away (turned out to be one of the managers). Great stuff I loved it, book it now and just go you will fall in love with it too.

" After reading numerous reviews on... "

After reading numerous reviews on other sites and this site I was a little concerned that the hotel wouldn't be up to much.

However, the hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff were more than helpful, in fact they were very pleasant and courteous. We were fortunate enough to be in a recently renovated room with a sea view on the 2nd floor.

The only complaint was the noise generated from the air con unit but we soon got used to it.

The food was great, always hot with a good selection of most foods. The pizza restaurant and BBQ on the beach were fantastic. One morning we went for breakfast and had a glass of champagne which was excellent!

One tip is that the main restaurant on the left is better than the one straight ahead....if you got you will see what I mean.

Generally we had a really good holiday and the location is great, we only paid £150 each for the week AI so we can’t complain at all. The waterpark is across the road and its one of the best I've ever been too.

For reference our party included two couples all aged around 30 years old.

" Having never done all inclusive... "

Having never done all inclusive before we were impressed with the choice of food on offer. We arrived early in the morning and were greeted by a very friendly night porter who explained that you eat and drink from 7am till midnight, after that if you want more you pay.

We did go down at 7am to reserve the sunbeds. Staff were friendly although entertainment was poor, you still had a laugh.

Rhodes old town is well worth a visit, though go by taxi not the bus taxi - only costs 13euros. On the whole excellent hotel, right on the beach with all the food and drink you could want.
