Elissa Lifestyle Resort

Pros: -a beautiful hotel, very aesthetic and modern. -room was amazing and spacious too! We went for a sea view and it did not disappoint! -the hotel is always clean and tidy -some of the staff are really kind, happy to help you and nothing is too much. -food is beautiful and lots of choice too. I am quite a picky eater and there was always plenty for me to choose from. -pool bars serve tasty food for lunch -drinks are made very well and tasted lovely (lots of options too) -street food hub is also available for smaller snacks for lunch e.g chips, chicken nuggets etc. they also serve the nicest crepes! Be prepared for the service to not be as good here (explain more further down). -plenty of spaces to sunbathe. You are never short of a sunbed, you can take your pick. There are lots of pools, plus the private beach area (which we loved). -taxis were really easy to book from reception, €15 to old town Rhodes. We were never waiting more than 5 mins for a taxi. -if you’re on all inclusive, the mini fridge is for you to use with no extra charge. These are stocked daily with branded drinks and also plenty of water. -even when you check out, if you have a late flight like we did, ask for a voucher to use for the rest of the day at reception. This allows you to continue using the all inclusive package, even after you’ve checked out (however, some staff were quite rude about this, explain further down). Cons: -some staff don’t seem to have full understanding of how the hotel works, or are just been difficult. For example on our last day, we used the voucher for all inclusive after checking out for 2 drinks. however an older member of staff at the Istrio pool bar didn’t want to serve us as quote ‘we don’t have a room anymore’. Even after giving him the voucher signed from reception, he tried to be difficult again, until I mentioned going up to reception for clarification. He then decided to serve us. -Street food hub: this was not made clear we could use this at the start of our holiday (this is a lunch place shared by the sister hotel, Helea). When we first went it was lovely and service was good. However, when we returned the next day, the place was prettt busy, Michail (I believe he is Helea member of staff) decided to publicly try and humiliate us when getting served. He sat us down asked for our room number (as he did the day before), then told us in front of everyone (whilst smirking) that we cannot be served as this is for the Helea guests only and that we need to leave. When we mentioned he served us the day before, he dismissed this and said he didn’t serve us (straight up lie). We went to reception and clarified we can use this and had no further problems visiting the street food hub (no apology from Michail). -the hotel is so big, it would’ve been helpful to have had someone show us around when we arrived or explained how things work and times things were open and closed at. We spent the first couple of days guessing and trying to get our bearings for basic things such as where the toilets are etc. Overall, I definitely would return to this hotel. It was beautiful and most staff were helpful. Just a few things around communication and other members of staff, that made me give a 4/5 rather than a 5/5.

The perfect hotel for relaxation and feeling spoiled! The all-inn is amazing, beter then any hotel i have even been. There is a wine list with over 300 wines you can choose from. There is also a very broad selection of other international spirits to choose from. At all times you can enjoy a drink and something to eat. Even the roomservice is included 24/7. We had a wine tasting in the evening. There is the main restaurant and 3 a-la-carte restaurants. In the bar outside Raphael and Ramos make a party with the dj! Everybody makes you feel welcome and do all they can.

Elissa Lifestyle Resort was a wonderful place to stay during our time in Rhodes. The resort is absolutely beautiful. The beach view from the lobby caught our attention the moment we arrived! The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Everything was spotless throughout the resort, and our room was spacious and very comfortable. A relaxing and scenic stay. We’d definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rhodes!

I’m still at this resort writing this post, We arrived at the resort thought it was lovely and the staff where very welcoming, What is sudden change as the days went on, the buffet in the evening and the breakfast has to be the worst buffet regarding options, temperature and quality, if you only want to eat bread,cheese, fruit and dessert your ok, The service is also the worst I’ve ever seen( the staff are all grumpy today ) especially at the pool bar we waited 35 mins on two cokes and in the end went up and lifted them our self's, same day today 29th may the restaurant lunch service was very bad we waited 30 mins yet again on being asked did we want a drink. DO NOT EAT CHICKEN AT THIS HOTEL!!! The buffet chicken skewers were awful they had clearly used the same chicken for the ceasar salad not good. The staff are not all singing off the same page and they are all not up to date with what’s going on in the hotel they all tell you something different. On a plus point the pool areas are lovely and very clean, the bedrooms look nice but they are dark ( like a cave cement everywhere even on the wooden doors and skirting boards ) Comfy of Sunbeds and chairs around the place not great and very low.

To be honest, It was more than I expected in everything, and especially the people in Rhodos Elisa, they were super nice I will be back soon for sure with my own family in the near future and the food all three meals was fantastic. I was kind of worry about food but that was no use to worry. Once again thank you for everything that I had experience I will be ambassador of Elissa in Korea.
