Great position but lacking in the basics.

The hotel is clean and well maintained and the staff are helpful and friendly. We didn't eat in the bar so I can't comment on the food but it looked good and plentiful if a little overpriced! Be aware though that almost EVERYTHING is an extra so budget quite a bit more if you want to use sunbeds, air conditioning or wifi. We didn't as the costs were outrageous. We had a Superior Studio apartment and the beds were very comfortable and the room cleaned daily. We didn't find any of the 'complimentary' toiletries which they advertise although we had a lovely but empty liquid soap dispenser! The shower is really good and would be better if the shower screen had been bigger. They do supply a squeegee for you to remove all the water that sprays all over the bathroom floor. The shower has a fixed head and can't be adjusted and there is a switchable hand shower head for squirting your 'bits'. A good hair dryer is provided. The biggest deal-breaker for us was that in no way was it a fully equipped self-catering apartment. There is NO KETTLE, NO TOASTER and very little of anything else in the way of kitchen equipment. A coffee peculator is provided which is useless (and I stress useless) for making tea. If you want to self-cater, the very reason we booked this hotel, don't bother booking here. You will be very disappointed. If you want to eat out there are many very good restaurants within very short walking distance. You'll be lucky to get breakfast before 10:30 AM though. If you are a light sleeper then think about what it would be like sleeping within one meter of your fridge compressor turning on and off all night long. The balcony is far from private and ours had only a view of an orange tree which was sprayed with chemicals (I assume) every couple of days! It was right next to the walkway to all the other apartments which is great if you want to meet everyone while you're trying to eat your boiled egg and no toast breakfast washed down with lukewarm tea! All in all we had a great time in Rhodes and this hotel could so easily be made to be perfect but sadly I really think they are more interested in taking money than providing a comfortable self-catering holiday experience. Still gave them an above average score though for all the good reasons stated above but we won't be staying there again for all the many bad reasons. Be sure to check out the Royal bar just round the corner. The food is wonderful, the owner and staff are fantastic and the prices reasonable. A bit further on is the San Allotte restaurant which is equally good (maybe better) but more expensive.

Shocked

After waiting three long years we were so looking forward to our family holiday, once we arrived we we're told to have air conditioning it would be the pricey sum of €15 per day per unit! I know things have gone up but wow! Also as stated the WiFi is not free some were lucky to get a code for free but not everyone the other thing is that it's one code per device, we booked our holiday with love holidays and booked a one bed apartment that slept four as we don't like our very young daughter having to sleep in the kitchen with the door, as we opened the apartment there was only one bed in the kitchen we did request to be moved but were told they couldn't, apartments are very sparsely equipped ( no kettle, no toaster) we think this is to encourage the all exclusive option. they are nice though if a little small, beds are comfortable, pool area is nice and kept clean with a very relaxed atmosphere in the day, unfortunately the sun loungers are splitting and pealing and you are charged for mattresses €1 per day or €11 per fortnight. As for the resort itself we we're shocked weather it is the aftermath of covid I don't know but there we're so many shops and restaurants shut down, lots of buildings needed a lot of TLC and there was so much litter left all over it was very sad. Rhodes Town is beautiful and worth a few days out, we also went to butterfly valley and really enjoyed that too. We wount be righting Rhodes off altogether we may try the other side of the island someday.

Lovely hotel, poor management

This hotel could have been amazing. It is situated in the perfect location, Our room faced the beach, and on 1st glance we thought we hit the jackpot. Until we hit the restaurant, considering we came to Greece, the only time we ate Greek food was when we went out to eat, which was pretty much everyday. Breakfast was continental, but also tried & failed, on everything else. The bacon wasn't bacon, if you got the top layer it had a little colour to it, wSnt so bad, but if you was left with the bottom, it was swimming in fatty water. The egg was more like a sponge, & who eats kidney beans, cauliflower & pickled cabbage for breakfast?? There was no toaster for bread, & the jam was placed in large glass bowls uncovered and re used. A The milk for cereal was powdered, and also left without refrigeration. Every night it was Chicken, Pork, & fish pieces. Pasta that had a crunch to it with every meal, not once in a week did we see any Greek salad, or any feta cheese. No selection of edible food available Although they had lemon & lime tree's growing in there grounds, not once did we see any in drinks, or as a garnish All inclusive is ment to start at 11am, but you could only get soft drinks or coffee till 12pm. No snacks offered in between meals, no ice cream, slush puppies was only given to children. Bar closed between 15.34/16.45pm tea & coffee only available Cleaning was horrendous, 2 male cleaners that would enter your room at 6.30/7pm just as your getting dressed for dinner. Two lady's we met had there room broken into. There suitcase lock was cut an all jewelry taken. No doors where broken into or left open, no windows were unlocked, but when reported to the owners, the lady's were told, its OK, your insurance will cover it. The beach was lovely until you entered the sea. I was stung twice by sea urchins that live on all the rocks around the hotel. You couldn't miss them. No safety signs where up to warn young children that were Snorkeling off the rocks. Beautifully situated hotel, just very poorly run. The staff who worked there, was OK. Not very helpful or friendly except one young lad who worked his legs off Alex was the man.
