Well we arrived early in the morning only to be met by the most miserable person you could wish to meet we got of the bus to be met by a buildin site there extending the road to a dual carriage way
when we finally got in to the reception /bar we were met by this man who took us to the bottom of the stairs and told us our rooms were up there given our keys and a slip of paper thats it
The next morning going down for breakfast we were to recieve a shock the women in charge was English Sarah was her name good we thought so we went on to order an English breafast thinking you cant go wrong here Wrong the bacon was smoked streaky 1 sausage 1 egg beans thats it the toast cost extra and the tea does too
We enquired about Air con and was told it was €10 a day payable up front we did not bother paying that and the rules state that if you buy a fan and thay find it it will be confiscated ( buy one when you go out of the room lock it up in your suitcase ) we did makes a lot cheaper
never had a meal in the restaurant so cannot comment on this but was never busy at all
The rules are there for everyone to adheer to so why was the family of the owner Billy allowed to go swimming after 7 pm when the pool closes
My daughter was to complain about the lack of hot water in her room this went on for three days and when the maintance man arrived she was told the room was not in a good place for the sun to reach the solar panel to warm the water nexts doors water was ok she could have a shower after 12 midday as this is when the sun got there turned out
this was wrong as the pipes were blocked and if you have a 3 year old child you like to shower in the morning as its so hot
The location of the apartments is a good 15 minute walk from the village you cannot walk on the maine road as there working on them
The kiddies play area needs up dateing also you cant see them as the trees need pruning
The room are very basic single beds table and sisde table shower basin and toilet kept really clean (the cleaners were the best)
every night was the same you had to pay for the entertainment the only night that was free was cancelled and the family sat round the pool area talking to each other and bnot bothering with us even when we needed a drink from the bar we had to go to them and ask for service
The one time we did manage to find someone working in the bar area was the 15 year old grandson who took 10 mins to serve you as he was watching cartoons
On the very last night we were there we finally saw Savvy who happened to turn up to meet people who had bopoked direct with them vip treatment drinks bought for them cases taken to the rooms and was sat down talking to them wish they would have done that with the rest of us who booked through the travel agents we might have gone back
overal;l the place is basic for what you need needs better staff who believe in manners and thinking if it was not for the tourist we would be nothing
also the pool needs to be maintaned a lot maore never saw it cleaned or the suroung areas too

We arrived in the early hours of the morning and were told by a grumpy looking man where our apartment was and handed the key. We then had to drag our heavy suitcases up two flights of steps. Not a good start.
The next day we decided to enquire about air conditioning because the room was absolutely boiling. Was absolutely disgusted to find out it was ten euros a day so 70 in total for our stay which we had to pay up front. Although an extortionate amount of money + a big chunk out of our spending money it was necessary because of how hot it was.
The pool facilities were poor. No sunbeds at all for the duration of our stay however we found several lovely pool facilities in Faliraki with plenty of sunbeds and top class pools-free of charge.
We went into Faliraki every day + night using the bus service and taxis. There was a lot more to do there and the beach was lovely so would have preferred staying there.
The staff were moody and not interested in the guests unless you booked direct!
Only real good points about the apartments was they were kept very clean.
Wouldn't bother coming back here.

We stayed at the Georgia Apartments in June/09 and on 1st sight we were extremely dissapointed. We arrived at the hotel late in the evening (which we expected) and found the road outside the hotel was undergoing repairs (Widening we think) so we had to literally DRAG our suitcases across the rubble to the hotel gates (about 15yds) and was shown into the reception area by the Rep. We were met by a gruff looking guy that uttered something in Greek and led us to the bottom of a stairway, he pointed up the stairs and walked away so we carried our suitcases up 2 flights to our room. As we entered the room it was honestly like walking into an oven (wow was it hot) We quickly opened the balcony door but that didn`t make it any cooler so we decided we were going to enquire about air-con, we checked out the notices on the wall just inside the room and to our horror it said "Air conditioning = 10euro per day" we were there for 14 days and it would have been a massive chunk of our holiday money so we decided against it.
In the morning (having had an awful nights sleep on extremly uncomfortable beds and the noise on the road outside the hotel) we went onto the balcony and was pleasantly suprised by the view, we could see all the way to the beach and the surrounding areas. The welcome meeting was at 10.30am so we both went down to find out what there was to find in Rhodes, the Rep was very friendly and explained the excursions offered by Thomas Cook and the prices for car hire (very expensive) It would have cost 140euro to have a car for 3 days (and that was with only 3rd party insurance) and an extra 4euro per day to have a theft waiver in case someone steals it.
We decided before taking our holiday that we were going to hire a car but to have to pay that amount for only 3 days we felt was a rip off, as we were deciding how long we should hire a car for the waitress told us that she could do it for a lot less so we waited for the rep to leave and asked her about it. She was able to get us a car (Fully insured) for 200euro for 10 days with a local rental company and we took up the offer.
We toured the whole island and found only a few `nice` beaches, most were very long or very busy touristy beaches. We like secluded coves which haven`t been over developed and found the very beach (in fact 3 beaches close together) at Anthony Quinn Bay. It was very nice there with some nice small Taverna`s and plenty of sunloungers, we spent most of our holidays there.
The hotel itself was very nice with a good swimming pool and bar/restaurant area. It is only a pity that the owners are possibly the most ignorant people we have ever met!!! They had very little time for the guests, turned the TV in the bar area away from an english channel when a group of family arrived which was on many occasions. Guests would stand at the bar waiting to be served while family members sat at a table just outside the bar area talking amongst themselves and so it is no wonder that the restaurant and bar was empty most evenings (incredibly rude people)
A little tip for people not wanting to pay 10euro per night on air-con; On the notice board it stated that if they found a Fan in the room they would confiscate it. We bought a fan and used it through the night, in the morning I would take the fan part off it and lock it away in the suit cases until needed again in the night. One part in one case and the Fan blades in the other suitcase.
We would certainly NOT recommend The georgia Apartments or Afantou (very little to do there and a hike from the hotel) to anyone going to Rhodes, the resort of Lindos is far better with `everything` that anyone could want in a holiday destination.

We had a two bedroom apartment for the two of us very spacious and clean, as I am a travel agent didn't book till the week before. extremely pleased with the accommodation, on the down side the managment and staff especially Sarah only had time for you, if you were a regular and you booked directly with herself. From us getting there we asked if we could pay to keep the room on for our last day as we were on a early morning flight back home, but were told it shouldn't be a problem, however come back and ask nearer the date for departure when they could check to see what guests were due to come. We did this only to be told to come back on the day of departure. Three times we were backwards and forwards to be told NO. This was the responce everyone got who had not booked direct with SARAH. We could have booked into the golf view over the road had we been told earlier.This totally spoiled a number of the guests last day of their holiday. Also be warned courtesey room provided is only a shower room no electic point for ladies to dry hair and you are charged 5euro each for the privaledge.SARAH is English married to the owner.

we found our return visit not as good as usual -- we wanted to book direct but sarah was full so had to go with thomas cook-- we did find this year that the owners were less friendly everything was for their own family-- we pay to go on holiday so why don't we get a piece of friut or a few nibbles on the table of an evening-- we found that when the family or their friends was there they had everything on the table sarah is fantastic and very chatty to all guests -savvas her husband was always chatty the best he could be as we noticed if he spoke to us nik the owner would be shouting savvas savvas do this!!-- illias was good but had to wait for our drinks especially if he was talking to his friends-- nik has no interset in any of the guests unless they have got a house from him--he shouted out one morning the house biusness is better than this=that made us all feel great-not all in all great place-- menu needs updating not alot of choice and i have already complained to thomas cook as i thought it disgusting that they were advertising a sex shop on the bar--this is a family hotel-- not a bar in faliraki keep up the good work sarah or better still find your own complex because they have lost interest-- we have been going to georgia for 10 years but we may go elsewhere in afandou next year where we will be made more welcome-soory billy but you are all losing it

It was our 1st holiday in Rhodes but our 3rd Greek holiday. We booked it with Thomas Cook about 2 weeks beforehand and whilst we had done some research on the place, we did not expect too much of a late-deal.
We arrived in the middle of the night and were given our key and instructions about electricity. We were very tired and it took us some time to understand what slot the key had to be put in to get the electricity to start in the apartment. Seriously it is VERY simple and VERY obvious, but it was 5 in the morning... I was worried the fridge would turn itself off when we left the apartment but we checked and it didn't!
Anyway we were nicely surprised to see the apartment: spacious, clean, bright, and NOT inland view, but a nice seaview in the background! Everything was brand new and soooooo clean! It was basic -don't get me wrong- and we couldn't have invited any friends around (2 glasses, 2 knives, 2 forks, etc...) but it was excellent! The balcony was spacious too, we could even sunbathe on it! The shower was great too, so much pressure and hot water all day and night! Our towels and sheets were changed twice and the apartment was also cleaned twice; I do sometimes read reviews where people complain about this, at the end of the day guys it is self-catering! If you're not happy about the sand you bring back from the beach, then clean it yourself! I thought twice was sufficient (plus they replaced the toilet rolls, tiny detail but the 1st time I had experienced that in self-catering accommodation). We paid 6 Euros a day for air-con, it is a must-have!
We were on the 3rd floor (hence the nice view) which was only a pain climbing up with the luggage, but not a problem for the rest of the stay. There are lots of apartments on the groundfloor, 1st or 2nd, so I'm sure you could ask to stay in one of those if you prefered.
The pool is great, a very decent size, plenty of sunbeds and side tables, although lots of people tend to "reserve" their sunbeds quite early in the morning. It is very clean, we saw Billy cleaning it every night, and testing the water as well.
It is a family-run place, and they organise some super not-to-be-missed nights, that are very good value for money! We attended the Greek night (10 Euros) and the Karaoke night (8 Euros). The Greek night was fab: plenty of food (Greek salad, Souvlaki, rice, vegetables, etc) and so much fun, dancing, etc. You MUST get involved though!!! Drinks are not included in the 10 Euros but prices at the bar are reasonable, so it works out very well. If you attended a Greek night with your rep you'd pay 35 to 45 Euros! The karaoke night involved some good food again, I had the vegetarian moussaka that was delicious! I didn't sing but it was still fun.
The apartments are situated between the main road and the road that goes up to Afandou but even from the balcony we couldn't hear any noise. From inside the apartment we couldn't hear a thing, I was worried about the possible noise from the bar but the double-glazing was wonderful! The beach is about 15 minutes walk and the center of Afandou 15 minutes as well. Before I booked the holiday I was worried about the walking, but I was glad we were away from the center as Afandou can be quite hectic traffic-wise! And it is a nice easy walk anyway, even with children.
On our final day we had to vacate our apartment by midday, which could have been a nightmare as our transfer was at 1 in the morning, but it wasn't: we could leave our suitcases safely in a room behind the bar (there were tens of them!) and in the evening for 5 Euros you could have the key to the "courtesy shower" which was lovely, clean, with fresh towels, etc. The bar remained opened late that night so you could wait in there for your rep to collect you.
Last but not least, the garden is gorgeous and so well-looked after!
I was very sad to leave and I wish I had booked 10 days or 2 weeks. I will definitely be back and would happily recommend this place to my friends and family.
Thanks everyone at Georgia's, we had a super week!

This was a last minute booking for a quick and easy holiday. We arrived expecting a cheap basic break away and got so much more. What a joy it was to stay at the Georgia - the staff went out of their way to make us welcome and the place itself is a must have. The rooms are basic but very clean, the food is excellant , the swimming pool clean and well kept - Lots of sun beds so no need for early morning trip to reserve !!! If you do nothing else the Greek night and BBQ are amazing with a wonderful atmosphere. The apartments are a short distance away from many local attractions and if you dont want to take the bus the staff will order a taxi which is really inexpensive. Before we left we booked for next year - even though we never go to the same place twice !! THANK YOU TO SARAH AND ALL THE STAFF for a great time. See you next year

just returned from a fantastic 2 week holiday at georgia apartments, afandue, rhodes.
the whole complex was immaculatly clean, the staff were great, the food brilliant. had studio which contained everything you needed (air con. & fridge). small supermarket next door which sells just about everything you can think of, quite reasonable too. if you like to go off and venture then i think a car or scooter would be advisable, otherwise you have to rely on taxis and local buses which can get very busy main season. we will definatly be looking at flights to get back there soon.
