Summer Dream Hotel

“Really nice hotel”

We were very happy with this hotel. For the price it was absolutely great. Staff were friendly, rooms clean with good air conditioning. It's unfair to expect 5 star conditions on a tiny island.

We were very happy with this hotel. For the price it was absolutely great. Staff were friendly, rooms clean with good air conditioning. It's unfair to expect 5 star conditions on a tiny island. If you manage your expectations you should have a good time. We ate out a few times and spend a lot of time exploring rhodes. Car is advised as theologos itself is pretty dull and the bus service was packed and not regular. We found the food basic but very nice . Changed often and again the staff work so hard. We got tipsy a few nights in the bar with cocktails and shots included , no entertainment which would have been nice .

“Definitely 3 star, staff are the gems”

The staff make this hotel, especially Sophia, bar staff , Michael, a manager, Dimitrius, pool bar and the other main bar man whose name I apologise, cannot remember. They are a credit to the hotel and deservent of a raise. They are friendly and welcoming. They remember your drink preferences and the bar man suggested an off menu yet simple cocktail I would never usually go for, it was delicious and my go to drink of the holiday. Michael enquired after us and assisted us with WiFi issues. Although WiFi was intermittent at busy times we had enough for children to wind down at night time. Our room had bunk beds and a double bed. Very comfy beds and pillows. Fridge in room and Seaview from our balcony. People complaining about shower heads in other reviews. Just adjust and they work fine. The water pressure/heat was poor at busy times. Cold water isn't freezing in the shower and quite refreshing in the heat. Aircon is brilliant. Cleaners OK just. Suggest they they could tidy up the bar area in the morning. Guests leave glasses etc on the bar after the bar staff have left for the night and sit there until they return the next afternoon. Even if they or reception staff put empty glasses in the sink out of sight until main bar staff start their shift. Staff in restaurant work tirelessly. They are very pleasant although sometimes clean plates not ready or cutlery shortages etc. Seem to be working from a relatively small kitchen so not their fault. Food is hit and miss. Breakfast is best part. Boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, European style bacon and sausages, fruit, yoghurt, delicious breads, croissants etc. Usually pasta we could eat, salads were delicious, mains were weird. Brussel sprouts on international night, fish was OK, chicken skewers OK. Expected more Greek offerings. We ended up eating out last few nights. Close to beach, bus stop for Rhodes Town, supermarkets and restaurants. Billys was our favourite. Show football, good food and drinks. The pool area always had sufficient sun beds and my children made lots of friends there. Pool basic but sufficient. Poor bar had sandwiches, cakes, slushies, self service. Teas, coffees and beer, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks etc served by Dimitrius. So hard working! All local drinks and pleasantly surprised by quality . Tea and coffee machine in main building all day. No kettle in rooms but coffees from machine every morning instead. Issue with toilets downstairs on 2 nights and they couldn't be used. Think a recurring problem. Infrastructure issues I believe. Please remember to tip the staff. I watched all week as the tip jars were ignored by other guests and the staff so thankful when they were tipped and very deservent of them. The owners should consider a slide going into deep end of pool. Lime trees around the pool area and a garden growing all sorts of fruits and veg. Again, the man who waters the grass and tends the beautiful flowers and gardens never stops and is very pleasant if you stop to chat with him. Overall for the price we paid and expectations we had we were happy. The staff are the gems. Sofia and the other barman stayed late to serve us and other New arrivals welcome drinks and helped us to our room and with our luggage. Also, we were allowed to keep our all inclusive privileges until we left for the airport. It's windy there too but refreshing and needed in the mid thirties of summer.
