Atlantica Holiday Village Rhodes

Very mixed feelings about this hotel.. firstly it’s definitely not a 5* I would say a 3* at best. No major issues from us but lots of little frustrations, eg: the coffee machines in the activity Buffet restaurant one wouldn’t work, so you’d go the other and it wouldn’t have cups/hot water/tea bags, same issues with the juice machines. You had to trawl through about 6/7 glasses before you found one that was clean enough to use, even then it was cleanest one but not fully clean. Other drinks machines not operational. The restaurants opening times change daily, not what they say on the app. Queuing for dinner each night, not ideal with a 2 year old. The frustrating part about the queuing is that we counted 16 empty tables yet the queue was back to the ice cream parlour. The clean up of tables is just not managed correctly. The staff work so hard but there is only so much they can do. We would tell Stavros & Nick each day when we noticed drinks machines, dirty glasses etc and they’d always rectify it.. but if this is a 5* resort we shouldn’t have to fight to find a clean glass to get a drink. Noodle bar, queued for ages to get to the front to witness the chef take his hat off, wipe down the sweat off his head and then his hair, with his gloved hands. He then proceeded to handle the food. Didn’t change his gloves! I walked away as it made me feel sick. I would not eat that food after that! You can only book the al a carte twice in 2 weeks, maybe if this was more the restaurant queues would be less. We went the American & the Italian (which ran out of pasta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) both were average, not amazing. Loungers by the pool and tables are not cleaned, dirt, bird poo, blood, ice cream, drinks etc all over them each day. Again, in a 5* they should at least be power washed weekly! Entertainment area at night, fighting to get a seat as absolutely not enough seats. Quite a stressful experience to be honest getting to sit down and find a chair. Wouldn’t be surprised to see towels and people reserving them as you just can’t get any! Room itself was fine. Bit grubby in parts but was okay. Minibar only stocked on the first day then you just get a large bottle of water each day after that. Which we were okay with but others were not. Bar by the stage is the only bar open during the day, 1 member of staff at a time, so the queue is always huge! We ordered a picnic bag to take the beach one day. We got 5 bags of crisps, 3 apples, 3 bottles of water and a slice of cake! Hardly a picnic! 🙈 Overall.. food - okay Rooms - good Pool area - good Entertainment - excellent (purple team are wonderful, Aga, Miguel, Maeve, Corina, Pedro - all brilliant) Water park - excellent Tips: take your own plastic cups for drinks, the paper ones you get are rubbish Get to dinner for when it opens (unless they change the time without notifying you) Just don’t expect a 5*, I think if you go not expecting that you’ll be okay! We still have a great time, just wouldn’t book to go back and wouldn’t recommend to be honest which is disappointing but one of those things!

This resort is absolutely wonderful. absolutely beautiful location and fabulous facilities. the kids club was great and the activities were wonderful, couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. would reccomend to any families. the main thing I’d say is the staff at the hotel are absolutely spot on, their very professional, helpful and are amazing at their job. the main worker who stood out to me was a girl called vasiliki who worked in the restraunt. She was wonderful and always smiling and very professional. It was lovely to go down to the breakfast each morning and be welcomed by her. she was great. would 100 percent go back to this place again.

3 days into our holiday and loving it. We have also had a great time by the pools and are so happy with all of the staff and their service! Rooms are a good size and the best nice and comfy. The food selection is plentiful and all lovely and fresh. Also had a massage in the spa with Richard, very professional and knowledgeable about massage and the tensions I had. Highly recommend Holiday Village Rhodes to families with young kids. There are many little things that make it amazing for the kids like steps to the bar so they can order their own drink/ice cream. Kids buffet with kids level serving. Kids club and lots of activities!

The gentleman I had was lovely, the service was fantastic. I was so nervous when I got here and so was my partner. The second we got here there was beautiful music and we were welcomed. We signed in and went in for our treatment, the offered us water and showed us were to go. Once we got to the room they made it double for us as this is something I wanted even though we didn’t go for the duet treatment. The gentleman were fantastic and so respectful. The left the room so we could get changed and ready and through out the hole treatment they endured I was covered unless he was working on that body part. I can truly recommend this lovely spa and two amazing gentleman. Would truly recommend and feeling amazing now!!

We stayed in this hotel as a couple to be near our grandchildren who were also staying there. It’s a great holiday for young children, but don’t consider it if you don’t have any! We stayed in the deluxe area. It’s a bit quieter than the activities side. We foolishly booked a swim up room, which unfortunately was completely shaded by the room above. It’s a bit of a lottery. Half of the swim up rooms are in the sun and the other half are in the shade. The room was okay. Breakfast and dinner is served on the deluxe side and you go over to the other side for lunch. The food was pretty good and plenty of choice for kids. Unfortunately, you can’t get a drink on the deluxe side after the pool bar closes at 5.30. There is a very nice adults only bar which opens at 9pm. And, unlike the bars on the activity side, you can actually taste the various spirits. Definitely a bit like Butlins, but lovely to see so many young children having a fantastic holiday.
