El Vita Apartments Reviews
" Just what the doctor ordered "
Submitted By: Willowdenecats
Well what can I say, brilliant.
We booked last minute for a chill out week and after reading some of the reviews I was quite concerned about the cockroach population. My husband assured me that in October the drop in temperature would mean that this wouldnt be a problem. Believe me there was no drop in temperature (80/90s) and still there was no problem. We walked into Lardos most nights and went to valantinos on the first night which was very nice but lacking in atmosphere. Most other nights we ate in Roulas which was excellent...staff and service second to none. For pre dinner drinks I would suggest the small bar next to the Old House Restaurant. $3.50 for a half litre of wine...and nice wine too.
We went to Pefkos one night but would give this a miss if we went back to Rhodes. Rhodes Old Town though is a must.....
At El Vita we stayed in studio 109 which at first I thought was a little dissapointing as it was on the ground floor. It turned out to be be a bonus as we were so close to the pool but far enough away to avoid too much noise. The towels and sheets were changed most days!!
Hannah behind the bar was a star...'Hannah....I hope you get your 13.5 togs sorted out for the winter...'
Would recommend this place to anyone of any age....
Sorry to hear that we will no longer be able to book through Thompsons but we will definately try to re book in the future.

Before going to El Vita I made the mistake of going on this page and reading all the bad reviews, I was really nervous about going as some people have written some really bad things about it. My boyfriend and I didnt have a lot of money so booked it back in january and saved all year to go so were really looking foward to it. We were not looking for anywhere too flash.
We arrived around 2.30am and went straight to the bar where we were warmly greeted by demetris, He made us feel very welcome, the next day we went to the pool, again, staff were friendly.
The place is kept spotless, the rooms are cleanned if not daily but every other day, the sheets and towels changed every 3rd day. Our apartment was basic, but it clearly states that in all holiday brocheres, so to be honest as a well travelled person it actually exceded my expectations. I have travelled the world for 6 months, I have stayed in the most vile places but at the end of the day it is what you make of it, It clearly states it is basic so if you go on your hols expecting a palace you will be disapointed. There isnt much for children to do apart from play by the pool. But that is the joy of it, it is very peaceful and calm, I have never felt so chilled out, we loved the pool, but we also loved to get out and do things, the busstop is a minute walk and you can get anywhere in a nice airconditioned bus, lindos and pefkos are fantastic places too. we also visited the waterpark which was a right laugh.
We attended 2 greek nights and 1 karoke, they were so funny, and the bbq food they give you is lovely, we did eat there some other nights but this was very basic, which is expected.
Going to El vita you need to go with a open mind, you need to realise that they do not have the money we do and you need to remember this is a 2*. And as for cochroaches, we seen one on his back outside! that was it! Cochroaches actually live in warm climates so they are bound to be there. Nobody should be put off by previous comments, as we had the best 2weeks, we chilled right out and done barely anything just sat in the sun! I recommend this place to couples of all ages who just want to take a chilled out cheap holiday!

" friendly, welcoming staff "
Submitted By: julieclo
returned from hotel in August, was worried before we left due to some reviews, didn't need to have been. It was a lovely location on the beach, rooms very basic and we had ants on the terrace and in the room if you left any food out, but the staff were lovely and helpful and always had time for a chat and a smile. Would definately go back there again because of the people. Had a couple of meals at the hotel which were ok and had some in Lardos Village. Rhodes Old Town is a must!!!

" DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE COCKROACHES !! "
Submitted By: teglley
The El Vita Apartments is the worst accomodation the i have ever stayed in. We had to move rooms 4 times during our 2 week stay, due to cockroaches. I would expect 1 or 2 due to the heat but we were getting 10 or 20 at a time in cupboards, in our clothes, in our beds.. it was disgusting. The first time i complained to the manager i was told that it is to be expected in hot countries & my request to be able to move rooms was not an option. He sent some of his staff up to spray the room with some bug spray. Strange how they had it to hand although the manager said they do not usually get cockroaches. I had to kick up a real fuss to get moved rooms (on all 4 occassions). The Thomson holiday rep was just as bad as the hotel staff she seem un intrested & un helpful & she even told me that i should expect them due to being in a hot country & when i told her that i have travelled to countries a lot hotter than this & had never had cockroaches she told me she was a little busy preparing the quiz night questions & could not help until the following day !! I would advise any travellers not to stay at this accomodation not just due to the cockroaches but also the rooms are very very basic, & the whole of the accomodation blocks need completley renovating as they are just dirty ill repaired rooms. It is a shame the El Vita apartments are so poor as the location is excellent.
Advice: Go there it's a great place but just avoid the El Vita apartments

" Cockroach infested... "
Submitted By: ward3023
Stayed for two weeks from the 6th Aug 2009, 2 adults, 2 children, 2 studio rooms 104/105.
Before giving our review on this holiday and particularly the accommodation I should make it clear that we have stayed on many Greek islands including Zante, Corfu, Skiathos, Cyprus, Crete, and stayed in many different accommodations from very basic to 5 stars. We have also travelled to America and the Indian Ocean.
The Elvita is without doubt the worst accommodation that we have ever stayed in. Accommodation can be basic and clean but the Elvita is basic and very dirty with the exception of public areas that receive more attention. Our rooms on the ground floor were in need of a major refurbishment this is not a dig deal if they had been clean!!!!
Although the maids came in most days and did change sheets twice during stay and towels three times they only ever gave a quick sweep and washed the floors with water only. A little disinfectant would have made a major difference. The drains on the terrace stunk and we covered them the best we could. But the biggest problem was the Cockroaches, yes we all know they are a problem abroad in the heat but I also know that if hotel owners spend a little money on pest control then the problem would be limited. On average we where killing between 2 - 5 in each room each day. On complaining to reception they did give a free domestic spray which helped with many ants but not the roaches. We have had the occasional cockroach in other places but this was a major investation!!!!! A couple we meet that were staying across the road some 100m away had no roaches and very clean rooms.... So Elvita should start controlling the problem or rename itself Elroach...
This maybe the reason that Thomson are not booking the Elvita after this year!!!!!!
The British our in the minority at the Elvita there are many, Swedish, Norweigian, French and Italian.
On the plus side the Elvita pool is excellent for Greece with many sunbeds and a large terrace area. The pool bar is expensive with the exception of pool and airhockey which was only one euro, great for the kids.
Didn't eat in Lardos Bay having read reviews we tried the restaurants in Lardos village which is a 30 min walk (with pavement) 5 euro if you grab a cab on main road. Don't order from hotel you will get charged almost double....
We ate at Savvas - very basic but very cheap if you are on a very tight budget 26 euro for dinner for 4 including bread, starter, main, and free cake!!!
Valentinas - good food, average pricing nice position being able to watch village life...
Roulas - Excellent food, fantastic hardworking friendly staff. Possibly the best Taverna we have eaten at in Greece and we have eaten at many....
We probably won't return to Rhodes for many years as this was our second visit and there are two many wonderful places to visit in the world!!! But if we ever find ourselves in Rhodes again Roulas will be the first stop for dinner and the Elvita will not be considered.
If you are going this year try and get one on the updated rooms and take some cleaning stuff...

" HOT HOT HOT "
Submitted By: Toe
These apartments are very basic but ours was very clean, we did not spot any creepy crawleys while staying there.
The cleaners came in every other day and gave us clean towels & bedding, no early morning calls by them either.
Weather was very hot for end of May so we would recommend going to Crazy Georges just outside the apartments for a very very cold beer or go to the Gallery abit further down both very friendly.
We went to Lardos square and went for a meal at The Old House Restaurant where you can sit up on the roof top restaurant, food was fantastic, also visit Perikilas for a Gyros facing crazy georges theses are gorgeous, or go to Terpsis in pefkos fantastic food.
I recommend that if you like going in the sea take some sort of shoes to wear as its shingle & pebbles and is murder on the feet.
Pefkos is around 35 mins walk and is 7 euros by taxi also probably the same to go to Lardos square.
The Lardos is quite but you dont have to travell far for the night life.

" Simply The Best "
Submitted By: Janice & David
My husband and myself went to the El Vita after we got a great deal and were not sure
what to expect. It was fab, the apartments are basic but very clean and the staff are
very friendly and helpful. There are great restaurants in Lardos and a few good pubs.
If you want a livelier night-out, Pefkos is nearby and is full of restaurants, pubs
shops ect. We are going back this year again to the Elvita and we can't wait. The location is one of the best right on the beach and the view is to die for. This wee hotel is only rated a 3 star but for friendliness and laughrer it is definately worth a 5 every time.

" This was our third holiday staying at... "
Submitted By: Mrs D Taylor
This was our third holiday staying at the El vita and we've booked again for next year. THAT SAYS IT ALL. Accommodation is basic, but you only need to shower and sleep there. The owners and staff are outstandingly helpful, hello to all of you especially Hannah and Nikos. The couple at the Takis shop at the top of the road are just as helpful, Hi Sam and Penny. The pool and area surrounding is always kept clean, and the no nonsense bed saving scheme seems to work well. The sea is beautifully clean, though the walk into the sea is a little hard on the feet, I recommend the rock shoes. We choose to eat our breakfast at the El vita then walk to the village every evening for our evening meal, there is a variety of wonderful places to eat, with some lovely food on the menu. We always meet some of the nicest people at the El vita. The only down side is that we have to come back home.

" I think most of the other guests... "
Submitted By: marginbuu
I think most of the other guests would refer to me as the tattooed lady with the very white companion.
I am julie and the companion is my daughter Kylie she does not like the sun. I loved my time at EL VITA I loved the karaoke. I should have been more often though.
our apartment was cleaned every other day and so was our bedding. I loved the cleaners they were stars.
The pool was clean so was round it. The pool bar was ok depending who was there Dimitri was cool I liked his version of sex on the beach.
There could have been more night time ntertaiment, Despite my tattoos and my singing non-skills I am quite shy. but there for the grace of god go I. and I went topless OK.
I would go there again next year but I would be on my own and the suppliments are high for a single traveler.
So for EL VITA 10/10
get some singles room and I will come year after year.

Submitted By: Miss T Roberts
me and my friend arrived in july 2008 and we were greeted by a lovely girl called hannah. hello if ya are reading this. she showed us to our room which was 2 minutes away from the pool an right by reception. i was a bit gutted by the size and gutted we only had 1 wardrobe but what does any 17yr old want.
we un-packed and went to the bar for a drink. the staff were lovely including hannah and nikos the day staff and demitri and ardi the lads on the bar at night. lucas the night security man and dafney and ann-marie the women in the super market.
everyone was lovely and we had karaoke on a monday night along with a bbq which i really recommend as it was lovely.
i loved the whole holiday and the weather was brilliant and i am planning on going back out there for about 8 weeks next summer as it was brilliant.
if you like to walk anywhere there is always pefkos about 40 mins walk or 5 euro in ataxi or lardos which is 20-25 mins walk or also 5 euro in a taxi.
there is a lovely bar called cocktails and dreams where me and my friend went very night and lucas an valentina who run the bar are lovely. just accros the road is a lovely place to eat called the gallery which is an english bar an restaurant.
overall i had a good holiday
if you have any problem with your room's linen or towls not being changed just pop down to reception and ask them to ask the cleaners and will happily change them for you
thank you el vita love mary and tammy xxx

Submitted By: Mrs Peter Hepworth
My friend & i stayed at the El Vita studios in June 2008. We found the accommodation basic but o.k. When we arrived our bathroom hadn't been cleaned and asked to change rooms but the Tomsom rep advised us to ask reception. We found Hannah an English girl working for the hotel, went out of her way to help us and even offered to clean the room herself. She was very kind to us during our 10 day stay and if it hadn't have been for her we wouldn't have enjoyed our stay. we would book again next year but ask for an apartment on the first floor as we didn't feel safe on ground floor. We also thought that the charges for air con should have been included in the cost of the hol. Otherwiswe, a most enjoyable stay.

Submitted By: Mrs J Houghton
el vita in september was a great place to stay the pool area was very clean an kept lovely the rooms are quite basic but not any worse than what you usually get on a self catering holiday the only drawback to stayin here is they only do entertainment twice a week a bbq nite an karaoke nite but overall the place still made up for this it was really quite at nite for the people with families as the bar shut at 12 an if anyone stayed after then they still got served but quietly there is an internet room which kept the kids happy when they were not in the pool an it was also good wen gettin ready as the kids headed there then too !!!
the beach is a bit pebbly but not too much so still good to go to an this was right on the doorstep
all in all a good holiday great place to eat in pefkos enigma is a must an i just wish i had gone there in the day also as you can sit right on the roof the view at nite was nice but wood have been marvelous in the day

We had a fab holiday - the pool area and bar are one of the best we have had in Greece and the friendliness of the staff in particular Hannah and Nikos really made our holiday. Thomsons are fools to let this little gem go- yeah there may be issues with some of the lower rooms, but the owners know this and have a programme in place to fix them. For us - we had no complaints about the cleanliness - our apartment was cleaned every second day and we had no problems with cockroaches or any other creepy crawlies.Of all the people we met there - 99% were as happy as we were!
Thomsons are missing a trick by letting this one go - we will be booking direct to go back as this was one of our best holidays ever and we have done a lot of Greece and many of the islands. I would have no hesitation in recommending El Vita and thanks to Hannah, Nikos and everyone else for a fab holiday - we had a blast
The lesson to be learnt here - is dont believe everything you read in reviews - if your looking for 5 star luxury - Elvita is not the place for you- but if you want a chilled out atmosphere with great surroundings, a fab pool and some really great people running the place - give it a whirl
Advice: Lardos itself is worth a visit to the square for a friendly night time meal out
Activities: Rhodes town is a must and for restaurants - Casa Flavia is a must
