After a major nightmare, missing the flight due to a 9mile tail back after a multi car motorcycle pile up on the M5. We arrived a day late, at 23:30hrs [so nearly 2days late.] As I’ve never missed a flight before and was totally exhausted after driving for over 6hours in tail backs, finding a Travelodge etc. I didn’t realise until we arrived at Rhodes that we should have called the car hire firm and hotel as soon as we realised we had actually missed the flight. Anyway we live and learn. So after many discussions and stressful situations due to missing the flight, we arrived at the hotel, the lovely chap at reception was very surprised to see us, and from that point onwards our holiday actually started.! Even though the bar was closed he gave us a drink, as we really needed it. Got to our rooms and was pleasantly surprised modern, clean, airy and it had a fridge! (One hole to pick…..they were kind enough to leave sandwiches, cake and fruit in a little cardboard packed lunch box for two, but didn’t put it in the fridge?- which was silly as we didn’t know how long they had been in a hot room! My mother- in-law who was in the room next door didn’t get one?) We also had soap, shower gel, hair dryer and towels. Found out from another holiday maker that we could have paid €10 deposit for a kettle and an iron if needed (each) which is fully refunded when returned. Being British we need our cup of tea in the morning! I was a bit fed up as there was no hot water at 01:00hrs, but my mother-in-law who lived in Rhodes, explained the Greeks use solar tanks to heat water and the tanks must of ran out. Again we live and learn, so the best time to have a lovey hot shower is when the sun has been out! The staff were FANTASTIC, from different nationalities - all extremely helpful, hard working, and the cleaning lady was very persistent about cleaning our room, every day, however, I need my sleep. The food was AMAZING, choice was excellent. Location was AWESOME as right on beach and close to amenities. The site had lots of pools, sun loungers, and was kept clean and tidy. (However, randomly there was a section in between a beautifully kept pool and lawn full of lovely wild flowers and a pile of broken equipment/rubbish? Maybe it’s a plan in action?) The beach had sun loungers, with tables and shades, as well as as showers. Atmosphere was friendly and people were mixing from different places, children were well behaved. Noise was kept low, apart from one neighbour who was a bit loud one night.

“Ignore bad reviews”

Arrived last night. Quick easy check in and staff showed us to our room and were friendly. Had dinner here last night and breakfast this morning. Food was lovely and lots of choice. Hotel is clean and looked after and all the staff say hello and smile. Great experience so far!
