Stayed September 2025, Half Board, Room 33 for 7 nights. Initially I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading mixed reviews on here. Journey from the airport is quick and painless, literally 10 mins in a taxi. Upon arrival we were greeted by George who checked us in, and I used this time to pay the tourist tax and air conditioning charge. Not a problem. He then helped us with our bags up to our room. Couldn’t fault the room, big comfy bed, roomy balcony with provided ashtray for those that smoke, a full size fridge, loads of storage and hangars for clothes, and a fan for those that don’t want the air conditioning. Wifi is limited to within the bar / lounge area, which wasn’t a problem for me. Breakfast was more than adequate, and you have to choose your dinner options at breakfast for the following evening. Now I can honestly say that we ate here for dinner all 7 nights that we stayed, and we found the food and the options fantastic. The cheese pie was divine, and the onion soup was an absolute secret weapon!! The lunch menu is chargeable, but not expensive and really good. I highly recommend the gyros or any of the burgers on the menu. Sensational! The bar is very well stocked and there are lots of options to suit all tastes. Didn’t use the sun-beds but there seemed to be plenty for all the guests that were staying at the hotel. Maria who runs the little shop on site is fab too, she is very knowledgeable on the local area and is very helpful. Entertainment at the hotel runs Monday-Friday, with there being bands, karaoke, bingo and quizzes and is very professionally done. One thing I will say is how hard all of the staff here work to give their guests the best holiday experience here and it shows. Having seen it for myself, I fully understand why people come back year after year. And the guests. Let me tell you this hotel has the best guests. I met so many amazing people from all walks of life and backgrounds, and it was fantastic spending time with them. I won’t go into detail about the facilities in Pastida as I don’t feel it is relevant to this review. The hotel is quite close to a military airbase so you do get the occasional low flying military helicopter. The chickens can be noisy in the morning, and some guests mentioned road noise but i’m a heavy sleeper, I didn’t find it a problem. If you want peace and quiet and good value for money, this absolutely is the hotel for you. So thank you George and team because we had the best holiday, and the best experiences and we can’t wait to see you again next year.

Beautiful simplicity. Would definitely recommend if you want typical Greek food and hospitality. Rooms were cleaned to a good standard every day . Breakfast was plentiful. It is set near a small Greek village so if you want nightlife then this isnt for you . Me my daughter and granddaughter spent a week here . We get taxis to local areas and did the Symi day cruise with the hotel which was a lot cheaper than jet2 . I would definitely recommend if you want a peaceful break in the sun in an authentic Greek setting

Lovely hotel in pastida, quiet area with a small village about 10 minute walk away. Bus stop across road which will take you into Kremasti, Ixia and Rhodes town. A taxi to Rhodes is €27 same to falaraki. Rooms at hotel are good, clean, fridge provided, towels and linen replaced every three days. Great gardens with pools and a jacuzzi, play area for kids. The staff are amazing, really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Drinks are reasonably priced. They have entertainment on 5 nights out of 7. There appeared to be alot of repeat returnees. The only downside for us was the evening meal. We went half board, the breakfast was ok, but the meal at dinner had to be prebooked at breakfast and was limited. So after a few days we ate out. There is a lovely taverna just down the road which did lovely food and really good prices. Would go back but only on B&B basis. All in all fab holiday and made really welcome by the team at Garden x
