Matoula Beach Hotel

“Great getaway for couple in 40’s. Outstanding service from family run hotel ”

First day back and missing Rhodes and Matoula already. We (couple in 40’s) loved Matoula beach. The room was clean and comfortable (we did asked for extra pillows which we got immediately) a little on the small side but big enough for us and we had a double balcony. Kept beautifully clean by cheerful staff too. What is outstanding about this hotel is the service and the staff. A family run business and you can tell. Everyone from cleaners to receptionist, waiters and the owner who chatted to us at the bar were lovely and couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. For us ‘Pan’ the barman was the star of the show. It’s not somewhere to go if you want loud crazy party night entertainment every night but we visited the bar most nights and enjoyed the Greek night they offered. Pan made sure to match the music vibe to the people at the bar and we had some great nights! The pool is clean a little o the chilly side but fine once you’re in! plenty of greenery to keep you cool on the heat. We had no problem getting sun beds in the shade (although off season). With waitress service for great food and drinks throughout the day. It is relatively remote in terms of location but if you like exploring it’s fine with local shops providing all you need and nice tavernas to eat in and only a few minutes walk to the beach. For us it was just the balance of peace and quiet (no loud Brit’s abroad type behaviour!) but plenty to do not too far away. We visited Rhodes old town which is lovely. 3 euro each in the bus and a taxi back cost us 23 euros but worth it for an evening dinner out in a beautiful restaurant (il Giardino - again family run and delicious food) You can walk to Ialysos where there is also a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars, and again a nice beach to enjoy a cocktail at sundown. We took a day trip to Symi island which was great and very pretty took a swim, it was a little bit for us but a lovely day out all in all. We would come again. In short we were made to feel so welcome by the Rhodesian’s and the team at Matoula Beach and had the best holiday!

“Matoula Beach Hotel - a must stay when visiting Rhodes”

The hotel staff were amazingly helpful and friendly; the accomm was of a high standard; and, the greenery of the grounds (trees, shrubs and lawns) exceeded my expectations. The breakfasts and evening meals were always of a high standard and the service was excellent

“Lovely stay !”

Great hotel, very clean, staff are lovely always smiling and chatty, food was average in restaurant more pizza and more pasta choice than Greek food but we found this to be the same in all of the local tavernas. Because of it being in a remote place you were stuck for choice to eat out and no where sold a basic Gyros as a snack. The pool area is nice and kept clean shame you are under the flight path to the airport and the planes are extremely low and can go over every 5 minutes. The breakfast is buffet style and the same things are rotated, tinned fruit, natural yogurt, small Greek sausages, Greek bacon, eggs different ways, chips etc. If this hotel was in a better location I would definitely go back. The Greek night is definitely worth the money, excellent choice of food and dessert and live music

Firstly it’s a lovely hotel but it’s very remote , staff on the whole were super friendly and helpful.

Firstly it’s a lovely hotel but it’s very remote , staff on the whole were super friendly and helpful. But we found our room tiny and noisy , we were in room 225 right next to the kitchen extractor fans and trust me even with the patio doors shut you could still hear it . Drinks are expensive at the bar but at least there was no mad rush for sunloungers in the morning. No entertainment except a Greek night they do which you have to pay for . Few restaurants nearby but if you fancy a walk go into kremasti where you’ll find cheaper bars and restaurants. Beach was lovely and if you walk down at sunset you can sit on the loungers and enjoy the sunset . Rhodes was lovely in itself and we had hired a car so managed to see what sights we wanted to . Local bus goes into Rhodes but if you can get a taxi back as the return journey one afternoon was so full , and because it was hot everyone felt sick.
