Rodes Reviews
" The Rodes Hotel is only a 2 star, but... "
Submitted By: MarisaThe room and bathroom were very clean, there was a TV, and air conditioning in the room, also there was a balcony overlooking the beach with a lovely view.
They had a great selection for breakfast, and the hotel also has a cafeteria where you could have simple meals and drinks, and twice a week they had live music.
Everything was great but above all the people running it, they were really friendly and we will be staying there again. We had a great holiday.

" Close to airport, yet noise not a... "
Submitted By: Mr L EdgarIf you are lucky enough to get a balcony with a sea view at 3 Euros/day, wonderful! Staff smiling and helpful. Resort suitable for 40+ year olds.
Breakfast is OK, the towels are changed, and beds made daily. Pool table, internet, and Sky TV in the bar/cafe/sea view snack bar.
No swimming pool but then there's the Mediterranean across the road. In the bedroom no TV or kettle or Aircon (extra price).
Bus tickets are 1.10 euro each but better to buy a 10 journey card for 8 Euros at a "Tabacos". It's more convenient and gets you onto the bus faster to get yourself a seat. Buses to Palma, 17 or 23 express. Ricky's bar next door and the Tavern 20 mins walk away on the harbour pier are recommended. "Bier Strasse" near Balneario 6 and 7 is great if you don't mind being surrounded by Germans. We had a very enjoyable evening.
Our mistake? Feeding the local wildlife! Take mosquito repellent and avoid our £600 hospital and doctor's bill.
Otherwise very good value for money! I'd go back anytime.

" I have just returned from my holiday... "
Submitted By: Mrs J NoadesI thought that the hotel was very clean, very friendly staff the breakfast wasn't fantastic but there was usually something that we would eat.
We ate in the hotel cafe bar some nights and the food was quite good and very reasonably priced. The resort was great, I would definitely go again.
Was disappointed that some bars were not open, e.g. Ricky’s bar, but found some good ones none the less, The Grapevine was good, run by Dave, Meg and Jonathan.
Margarita's cocktail bar was also very nice run by Steve and Karen, very friendly people.
Definitely not a resort for pumping music and yobbish behaviour.
My idea of a fantastic relaxing holiday.

" My comments are mixed.
The hotel was clean and tidy and the staff very friendly. The reason I only rate this hotel a 5 is down to the food which was awful. You got the typical bread rolls type of breakfast, supplemented by cold, grey-looking scrambled eggs. Chopped-up hot dog or German sausage (again cold), Spanish bacon left to soak in grease and finally, cold boiled eggs.
Evening meal was either salad or lasagne for starters, then either a pork chop (every single night) or deep-fried-to-a-frazzle chicken leg, or occasionally an omlette, followed by a blob of ice cream. You didn't get a cup of tea or a soft drink with your evening meal. Yet if you had walked into their cafe area (no separate dining area for guests for your evening meal) and bought chicken and chips, you got salad included and a drink, all for a few Euros.
We ended up next door at the excellent Ricky's Tavern (treat yourself to their Sunday roast, delicious) and other places for our meals.
The beach is 20 yards across a pedestrianised road and is great. But the resort is quiet, very quiet. Very little to do at night although Arenal a couple of kilometers away is livelier, but almost exclusively German, as is C'an Pastilla.
Great holiday for beach lovers and those who like an early night!

I'd love to go back but my wife is reluctant after being hospitalised for a night by mosquitos.
