“Excellent hotel to chill”

This is a fantastic hotel if you just want to chill out. My wife and I had a ground floor room which lead out to the pool which was very handy. There is plenty of sun beds and the hotel loans you/us a large towel to lay on. Brill. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we were met with a friendly greeting and smile every morning for 14 days. The food was fantastic. The breakfast was a choice of various fry’s or continental along with a choice of beautiful cakes. There is an area near the pool to have lunch with excellent food and drinks. However the meals at night were fantastic. It was mainly Greek food and it was delicious and all the guests we spoke to agreed. If you want to hit the bars Pfcos is near by bus or a €10 taxi drive.

“Great Holiday”

Wouldn't suit everybody as the hotel is on a main road but ideal for us, relaxing hotel, staff friendly, lots of sun beds, bus stop outside for Lindos and Rodes Town one way and Pefkos and Lardos the other way.

Overall, my friend and I felt that this hotel was fantastic value. The highlight of our trip was absolutely the food. This was my 1st time trying 1/2 board and it was very positive. Excellent daily selection of freshly made breakfast and dinner items. The wait staff were efficient and friendly and even helped us to learn some basic phrases in Greek for which we are very grateful. Tables always set with beautiful fresh white linen. The location for us was perfect - 1/2 way between the North and South of the island, with a bus stop directly outside, perfect for those who wish to explore. A 15 minute walk into beautiful Lindos and St Paul’s Bay. All areas of the hotel were always spotlessly clean. We had an evening flight and made use of the pool room shower before our departure flight which was spacious, clean, and we left for our flight feeing refreshed. We arrived late at night and staff had saved us some dinner which was very thoughtful, and were able to prepare us a packed breakfast box on our last day for an early morning excursion when we would otherwise have missed breakfast. Lovely bar area in which to sit prior to dinner. The hotel was small and quiet and had more of a relaxing adult atmosphere which was perfectly suited to us. Beautiful 1st floor sea view balcony. There were a few minor points which we overlooked as overall the hotel was fantastic and we only felt that the following issues were minor but worth mentioning. The standard room was very small so bear this in mind when packing luggage - try to pack a light small suitcase. The fridge was very noisy and could not be unplugged but we did not complain as we assumed this would be the same for every room and we just used earplugs instead. When we asked the barman if the wine the hotel sold was local/Greek wine he said he didn’t know as it “wasn’t my thing” - we would expect a barperson to have this basic level of knowledge of all drinks being served at the bar. The cocktails however were made excellently. Toiletries were watery so had to use double the amount of shampoo/shower gel. Hairdryer not very powerful. If you want to style hair bring your own - I wasn’t bothered and just let my hair dry naturally. Only one key for the room, 2 would have been ideal. Some building works commencing across the road, outwith the hotel’s control but may impact some sea view rooms. Also, at check in the hotel charged a 150 euro damage deposit - we were not told by Jet 2 about this so it took us by surprise. We paid it and were told it would just be a preauthorisation but the money left my account and has not yet been returned post check out despite no damage to the room so now we are back in the UK we will have to chase this up with Jet2 which is a bit inconvenient. So a few minor points but overall we absolutely loved Lindos Sun and it was absolutely excellent value for money, thank you for the wonderful Greek hospitality!

“2nd visit, sadly we would not return or recommend to a friend!”

Needs improvements before we would consider returning. Staff work long hours and never look happy.

Needs improvements before we would consider returning. Staff work long hours and never look happy. At breakfast we were never greeted with a smile, no kalimea or good morning, basically find yourself a table and sit and wait forever til they ask if you want a coffee! Even if you’re the first one there for breakfast the tables aren’t set, no cups, no cutlery. At dinner time, tables were not cleared, you’d wait ages for someone to take a drinks order. It’s was not a relaxing experience at all! We had one good experience from who I believe to be the senior / restaurant manger who I asked if he could make us a Greek coffee, he was very polite and made them for us. Later in our holiday he saw my husband and remembered our order. Wonderful! Let’s talk the evening bar… read your clientele!! The mangers should step in here because every night during our week long stay, we experienced head banging rap ‘swearing’ music. It was horrendous! The young staff basically played “their” music and also hid in the back of the bar just messing about. One night a couple walked in and said “where is everyone, it’s dead”. Your hotel full of guests have either gone elsewhere or are stuck in their rooms because they can’t stand the horrible music. At the time of booking the only room available was a classic double, we arrived at 1pm show to our room and was pretty disappointed. It’s very basic, no space to lay suitcase flat and very little space to unpack and hang clothes. No counter space for toiletries and the fridge noise was unbearable. Please please change the bedlinen, it’s like sleeping in a crisp packet. The sheets are so hard against your skin and really noisy. Thankfully the next morning we managed to upgrade (€350) to the private pool room, which was well worth it!! The pool room is much more spacious, wonderful relaxing balcony with loungers and a view of the sea (although not for long for some pool rooms as villas are going up opposite). We had some visitors on a couple of days as the goats came for a drink at our pool. The main pool is relaxing with plenty of beds, and the pool bar is lovely for lunch and a beer! We hired a car which I would advise to explore the island more (our 6th visit) however you can get the bus to Lindos or Pefkos, or walk to Lindos. Go to the supermarket to stock up on water, beer and stacks. Overall the hotel looks the part but does not offer the service or relaxing atmosphere you should get on holiday.
