Olympic Palace Resort Hotel & Convention Center

“Couples holiday ”

Booked in October, Great value for money. Perfect weather 6/7 days, we made use of the spa on the cloudy day, which was only €20! All inclusive has unlimited choices every day, food is rarely repeated.Highly recommend.

“First week of the hotels season”

We arrived on the first day of the hotels season, was unaware until the next day but caused a lot of waiting to check in when we arrived, it took over an hour. We took our 2 year old daughter and was instantly disappointed with the facilities to keep her entertained. The kids pool is around 4x4 ft, while they have 3 other huge adult pools I felt very let down, my daughter was one of very few children staying within this week and attended the kids disco but was the only child there so she felt very uncomfortable, I suppose it’s not the hotels fault but knowing this in advance we would of booked somewhere more lively and child friendly, the food and the hotel itself staying as adults is the best hotel I’ve personally stayed at, the staff are very polite and helpful and the are always cleaning. I definitely would recommend hiring a car which you can do in the reception, the prices are very cheap also. I wouldn’t return with my family on that basis but would definitely come back as an adults only holiday. Advice to anyone considering this hotel is to check when everything is all up and running

“Hotel prefers all inclusive guests.”

Firstly would like to say the hotel looks amazing. Beware if you have Mountain View rooms. My daughter had a family room which was so dark she had to have lights on at all times.

Firstly would like to say the hotel looks amazing. Beware if you have Mountain View rooms. My daughter had a family room which was so dark she had to have lights on at all times. You could touch the trees they were so close. The maitre de in the restaurant was the most miserable person l met on holiday. The other thing l think people should be made aware is that if you book half board which we did you are treated differently. Perhaps the hotel should go fully inclusive. Food was no different to any other all inclusive hotel we have stayed in. One final thing if you have young children the child’s section of the swimming pool is tiny. Also around the swimming pool it gets very slippery. We never had trouble finding sun beds and the hotel doesn’t allow put towels on beds at silly hours. The grounds around the hotel are lovely with lots of comfy seats. The beach is nice but pebbles and not sand so take beach shoes. Lots of restaurants near by and Rhodes town is lovely so well worth a visit.

On arrival at the hotel, it is very impressive. we were very impressed until we got to the room. We had a mountain view room, which was dark all day, surrounded by overgrown trees. We normally would sit out on the balcony, but over 7 days never did. it was dreary. it seems all the emphasis was put on the front of the hotel and the back was neglected. There is a pointless screen separating a seating area which makes the room even darker. However, the hotel is spotlessly clean, which makes it a mystery why my wife and i were struck down with sickness and diarrhoea for 3 days. Never get this normally. In the restaurant, it would have been nice to choose your own table. You are guided to a table which has just been used and they lay the table while you sit there. there were many tables already made up which could have been used, but they wanted to keep everything in one section. This is just lazy. There should be more information on arrival about options for eating, drinking, what is available to who. Because of the different board options, many people were very confused, as we were. They need to define what is available to who and where and when, on paper. Water needs to be more readily available. When I was sick my wife went to breakfast to get a bottle of water for me, to be told, it wasn't available. We could only get a glass of water at the bar. The food is very good, but repetitive. Some of the amenities were closed while were there and we only had air con for 1 day on the coldest day of our stay The pools are lovely. The star of the whole hotel is Sam, the pool bar lady. She was the best part of our holiday. Olympic Palace, you have a diamond in that person. She remembers everyone and is amazing at her job. All staff in the are all lovely, including the ents, can't fault them at all. Make some changes Olympic, and it would be perfect
