Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay at Atlantica Dreams Rhodes. We were a family of six travelling with friends, and there were many things we really appreciated. The hotel is beautiful, the facilities are great, and our kids absolutely loved the animation team, who were fantastic throughout our holiday. That said, we don't feel this is quite a true 5-star experience. The biggest disappointment was the service. In a 5-star hotel, you expect staff to be welcoming, friendly and communicative. Unfortunately, many employees only smiled politely, while some even looked bothered, which made the atmosphere feel less warm than expected. On the other hand, we'd really like to highlight the amazing bartenders at Kuzina Pool Bar. A special thank you also goes to the bartender at Liberty who spoke French with us, and to the tall blonde girl who worked both at Citrus Bar and made amazing drinks, and also waitressed at Liberty. They were professional, polite and incredibly welcoming, and truly made our experience much better by being so friendly and communicative. Unfortunately, the daytime bartender at Bhodi Bar was not very professional, while the evening bartender there made excellent drinks. Our favourite dinner was at Liberty—it was by far the most authentic 5-star dining experience of the whole holiday, with outstanding food and excellent service. There are also a few details that could be improved. Some towels looked old and not properly cleaned, which is something you don't expect from a hotel of this category. Despite these shortcomings, we had a lovely holiday and would recommend the hotel. With more consistent service and greater attention to detail, Atlantica Dreams Rhodes could truly live up to its 5-star rating.
