“Beautiful location and great staff”

A beautiful hotel, located at a great location. Pool was very large, and with a depth of 2,8m some places you have plenty of space to swim around Other areas were more shallow, which was great if you just wanted to play around. There was plenty of sun beds even if you came to the pool around 10:00-10:30, which we did. Keep in mind the hotel was fully booked, so that was great. Many of the rooms had their own Sun beds, so if you wanted to be more alone you could opt to stay at your room and just use the ocean instead. The ocean was extremely clear, and it had around 25 degrees water. There is only one spot where there is a stair down to the ocean/beach, so it can be a good idea to bring some shoes with you if you want to use the other spots where you have to climb some rocks. As a vegan I had my worries about the food, but there was a good amount of food I could eat for all three meals during the day. (Rice, potatoes, fruit, bread and olive were my to go food) There were days where the buffet didn’t have any, but then the waiter order something specific for me, which tasted very good.(see photos) There were also the possibility to get fresh pressed orange juice each morning. The hotel has a mini market, which sites all kinds of things. Such as many variants of nuts (with salt), chips, water, milk (alpro), ice etc etc. very kind staff and open till 11pm all days (except maybe Sunday) The staff is extremely friendly and very kind and will go the extra mile to help you. My go-to waiter was Vasili - 10/10 man. It was nice and quiet in the evenings, which we were happy about. The hotel is large, about 1km from end to end, but if you need assistance you can ask the hotel and they can drive you. Our room was of the older versions it seems, at least compared to the photos of the hotel. It seems like the rooms closer to the pool have been renovated. That being said it wasn’t bad, and quite cozy - but it could use a touch up in the coming years. We had 1037. We only had 1 downside to the hotel and that was the bed. We found it to be quite hard and not particularly comfortable. It took some nights for me to find a way to keep it soft. (I folded my blanket and put it under the mattress - after that I had no issues) But do keep in mind, our own bed is on the softer end, so it could very well just be a personal preference. Overall 10/10 experience. We could see ourselves coming back one day.

“Relaxing Adults-Only Hotel with a Few Drawbacks”

We stayed in room 1046 (a bungalow suite, 2 rooms, terrace and limited sea view) for two weeks. It was located at the very end of the hotel grounds, making it peaceful and quiet with beautiful sea views and easy access to the sea. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a separate bedroom, living room + kitchenette and bathroom. The bed was comfortable, with good pillows and proper blankets. The room had two air conditioning units - one in the living room/kitchen and another in the bedroom - which both worked very well. The bedroom had a small makeup table and a safety locket with plenty of closets. The terrace had two sunbeds as well as a table and two chairs. We rather spent our days by the room than going to the poolside. We received a wine bottle and one large bottle of water on arrival but the water wasn’t replenished during our two week stay which usually they do hotels. There was also no complimentary coffee or tea in the room, so you’ll need to buy your own. The TV only offered three channels and the WiFi was occasionally quite weak. The walk from our room to the reception and breakfast restaurant took around five minutes but the pool and gym are located at the opposite end of the property, making the walk considerably longer. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained, with lush gardens, flowers and trees. There is a large swimming pool, a tennis court, a small outdoor gym and a basic indoor gym. There are some signs of wear and tear were noticeable both in the room and around the hotel buildings. The pool water was very cold and unfortunately most of the sunbeds were reserved very early every morning. Personally I don’t think this should be allowed and the hotel should work on stopping this. The water fitness sessions were enjoyable but felt more like light entertainment than an actual workout. We couldn’t hear any traffic noise from the road. We could hear some music from the neighboring hotel though in the evening. The beach itself is rocky, so swimming shoes are highly recommended. The sea can be quite rough at times but on calm days the beach is relatively shallow. The water is also quite murky so no good visibility for those who want to do snorkeling. There were also small pieces of plant debris floating in the water. They aren’t dangerous but they did stick to your swimsuit and skin, which was a little unpleasant. The restaurant staff were friendly and the breakfast itself was decent, although nothing particularly memorable. We also tried the dinner buffet twice during the South American and BBQ theme night but it was mostly disappointing. The food was all fine but the quality didn’t meet our expectations. On the other hand, the housekeeping team did an excellent job throughout our stay. Note that they do clean the rooms quite early, mostly our room was cleaned between 9 and 11. The hotel is located about a 20 minute bus ride from Rhodes Old Town. The bus stop is nearby and a oneway ticket costs 2,50 € per person. On the same street with the hotel are tons of restaurants and shops as well and bigger markets are a walking distance away. One thing we found surprising was that many people, including families with small children, seemed to walk through the hotel grounds to reach the small beach next to the hotel. Since the hotel is adults only (16+), we were quite sure they were not guests and simply using the hotel grounds as a shortcut. It made us wonder whether access to the property could be monitored more closely as it would add to the safety of the customers. We had a late evening flight back home so we found it very positive you could pay to keep a room even after actual checkout time until 18:00. You may not be able to keep your original room though but we hopefully did. Overall, we expected a little more from a hotel in this category. The atmosphere is definitely one of the hotel’s biggest strengths: it’s calm, quiet and relaxing. Despite a few disappointments, we had a relaxing holiday and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. With some improvements to the dining experience, room amenities, WiFi and sunbed policy, this hotel could offer an even better experience.
