Summerland Apartments Reviews
" October 2008 "
Submitted By: janice3746
Just returned from a wonderful holiday at the Summerland Hotel and apartments. The hotel was spotless with clean bedding and towels every day. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. I have stayed at this hotel for the past 4 years and have been very satisfied every time. The supermarket across the road sells english papers. If you are looking for a good meal go to the Napoli and meet Nikos who is very pleasant.

" Me and my partner had previously... "
Submitted By: Mrs A Holdsworth
Me and my partner had previously stayed at Summerland 2years ago and enjoyed it very much so we decided to return for our wedding this year and bring 60 of our friends and family with us. Everyone said what a fantastic complex it was the staff are extremely friendly and will do anything to help you. They even through us a wedding party, which was a dj and pool party it was fantastic. The rooms were always kept clean and tidy, towels and sheets changed mosts days, one of the cleanest apartments I've ever stayed in. It is in a great location not too near the busy roads, just about a 5 min walk to resturants which is a nice walk on an evening. We are sure to return in the future and would highly recommend this complex to any.

" The pool and apartments were... "
Submitted By: Mrs K Murphy
The pool and apartments were beautiful and clean though we found the staff not particularly friendly. Most sunbeds were taken by 8 in the morning, I don't think there were enough for all the rooms, they needed to have some spare stacked at the side for people to use.
We were there with our son (13) and daughter (15) who were very disappointed when they realised that the majority of the youngsters there were dutch or swedish. The apartments deal with 3 dutch companies, 1 Swedish and 1 English. My son especially was very bored as he had no friends. The kids ended up spending more and more time at the Anixis apartments down the road where they had lots of friends and we were made very welcome there.
The apartments are down a residential road which at the end was an extremely busy main road which took ages to cross. Best restaurants were Napoli followed by Whispers. The waterpark was a good trip but it may be better to make your own way there as the trip we took meant we were only there for 4 hours when it was opened for 10 hours and at 20 euros each - not good value for 4 hours.

" A lovely place to stay, about 10/15... "
Submitted By: Miss J Sippel
A lovely place to stay, about 10/15 minute walk from the main road depending on which path you take at the eleni shop. Had no complaints with the complex at all, the staff were wonderful, particularly stelios the barman. Only problem for me and my family was that people were putting sun towels out really early and then going off for hours making it difficult for us to get a bed. Best restaurants nearby for us were whispers and napoli. Mostly used the main supermarket next to the anixis hotel but found that nannou was very cheap too. We would definately go back again.

" Just come back from a great holiday... "
Submitted By: Mrs S Walker
Just come back from a great holiday ,Appartment was very clean and the bedding and towels changed every day. Staff very pleasent and helpful,a long walk to a busy main road be prepared for a long wait to cross. only negative comment was that they charge 7euro per day for Air-conditioning and when the temp.is over 100 every day and never below 80 at night can be very expensive.
Whisper's resturant and Debbie's cafe great places to eat and try the bakery at bottom of road

" I'm 17 and went with my two friends... "
Submitted By: Miss EKK Kelly
I'm 17 and went with my two friends also 17, our first holiday alone ever, scary. We arrived to find a pitch black island with no light or action to be seen a worrying view for three teenagers! On arriving at the apartment we were told a power cut had occurred, we were shown our room and decide it be best seen as it was already 8 and pitch black to go for a walk find a shop and get candles. The major shop was within 10 min walk and the corner shop was literally 3 mins away. The staff were wonderful, the bar man was kind and made amazing cocktails. To say we went in October the night life in Rhodes Town was immense and we have recently booked with a big group of friends to hit these apartments again in July 08 and cant wait, loved it thank you xxxx

" The staff at the Summerland were top... "
Submitted By: kendo12
The staff at the Summerland were top notch, can’t say the same about the entertainment though. This was probably because we were a bit of the beaten track.
Only 5 mins walk was a hotel run by a British woman and her husband(think he was Greek).They held quizzes, pool tournaments etc and would always put Sky News or Sports on for you.
The room in Summerland was pretty basic as you'd maybe expect from self catering in the Med. Kept very clean and bins emptied regularly. Pool was a very good size, no complaints at all.
Places to go include Trianda,Rhodes,Lindos and the waterpark at Faliraki(you'll probably get burnt, we all did, but it’s a fabulous day out).
To eat, The Napoli on Ixia's main road was fantastic and the staff very friendly and just a bit further on the same side is Fat Sam's Bar, also nice. Let us down with their efficiency. One time we left before they brought the order cos it was taking ages! Whispers was also very nice.
Try not to take too many travellers cheques. We found them a bit of a pain.
In Rhodes we were stopped by timeshare people, all sounds very good but recommend you give a wide berth to them.
Main supermarket, Nani's, on the main road was cheapest if you wish to prepare your own food. Can of beer very cheap compared to the price charged at the Apts bar but have a few drinks with Stelios, he’s ace. Make sure you get the complimentary peanuts with your drinks order.
In summary, had a very good time, would return to Greece but probably to another hotel/area.

" Loved these apartments - the gardens... "
Submitted By: Ms S Miller
Loved these apartments - the gardens and main hotel complex were immaculately kept, our room was clean, a good size, and we always had hot water!
We were also pleased to find we had a huge balcony directly overlooking the pool.
The staff were always friendly and helpful, towels and linen were changed regularly, and the buildings themselves looked as though they were maintained and painted regularly too.
The pool is large and clean, with plenty of sun loungers, and it only took us 5 minutes to walk down to the main road where there are a variety of good restaurants.
Rhodes town is 10 minutes away by taxi, and the beach is a 10-15 minute walk away.
All in we had a great time staying at these apartments and would definitely go back.

" We arrived very early in the morning,... "
Submitted By: Mrs CJ McLaughlin
We arrived very early in the morning, the gentleman on the night reception showed us to our room which comfortable.
When we went down to breakfast the next morning we were very pleasantly surprised.
There was a very good selection of food for breakfast; I recommend the Greek yogurt with honey! Mmm!
This hotel is absolutely spotless clean and the decor is fresh and modern. It has a minimalistic dining room/bar.
The pool is quite large and would be very pleasant given warm weather. October is nice but can be quiet cool at times, not really poolside weather.
The only downside that there was the mossies, the lack of entertainment, and the fact you have to walk nearly a kilometre to get to the main road.
The flights back to Glasgow do not leave till 6am and you do not get to stay in your room after 12pm the previous afternoon. It cost another €55 to be able to stay in the room until early evening, that I found a bit harsh.
Overall I would go back to this hotel again.

The Summerland apartments were very clean and quite spacious the outisde pool was nice and big and always kept clean. The staff are very friends especially the barman in the hotels bar! I'd say its a 5-10 min walk to the main stip which isnt to bad but i mostly gotn a taxi which is nxt to nothing in cost. Receptionists are very helpfull they book the taxis for you. The maid service is very good had clean towels and sheets everyday.
All in all i loved this holiday and strongly recommend!!
Good for: Beach
