Elissa Lifestyle Resort

Lovely atmosphere and staff made me feel welcome. The service around the pool bars was great with everything you need. The rooms were very spacious I and very clean with a fully stocked mini bar . Loved the touch do beach towels and a free beach bag too. The app is a must download but the restaurants get booked within so I booked a couple prior to arriving. The buffer restaurant always had lots of choice for all. The amount of pools to choose from was good. 10 mins drive from old town. The on site boutique is gorgeous with so many bits I wanted to buy and did buy too! Highly recommend

If you are looking for a quick 3 star getaway then this hotel is a good one unfortunately on our experience of 5 star hotels this isn’t it , staff are miserable , unhelpful and at many times quite rude frankly. My family of 4 had to stick to the pizza as on eating the food over 4 days we were sick every time and we stayed for 2 weeks , the food was all the same every night with no variation , sunbeds are absolutely disgustingly filthy and even with a towel laid over them they still felt dirty . We had ants in our room every day and the house keeping just swept them up instead of trying to find the source and maybe bug spraying them. With saying that , the only place cleaned was were the ants were rather then the floor cleaned and mopped and again just filthy . The air conditioning wasn’t cleaned to the extent that when we first checked In it smelt of very strong sickly musty mold damp smell which was the whole period of our stay. The walls in our room falling apart , entertainment when it was in was very rushed nd not well choreographed. Smokers everywhere including all areas labelled as non smoking still were smoking in a family hotel where kids are everywhere and this wasn’t controlled by the hotel staff unfortunately. Umbrellas are half broken near the sunbeds , the attached water park is falling apart . Have to go to the bar for drinks without poolside service , I went to the street food a total of 4 times and every time unfortunately they got my order wrong and much I only found out when I got back to my sunbed , I didn’t check before hand as I didn’t think a cheeseburger , chicken burger and 2 portions of chips would be too difficult to get wrong lol. WiFi without being in your room or directly within the hotel is bad at the best of times. Without sounding snobby but we have been to 24 Greek islands and stayed at 5 star hotels and in comparing this to them it’s night and day , I’d say this fits more the 3.5 star range but this is my personally option and experience , but when you spend £12,000 for a holiday I do expect a little more when the next highest holiday I spent on the other islands was £10,800. We hired a car for 2 weeks and visited every place in Rhodes , lindos , old and new town , 7 springs , Kallithea springs , monotholis castle , simbika bay , prasonis bay , the castles , simi island , Chalki island , a prestige sunset boat tour , and everything we did out of the hotel was brilliant , some of the best places I have visited but this is all out of the hotel , to summarize for me personally the island is stunning but I’d choose another hotel to stay at .

The number 1 hotel I’ve visited in Rhodes The hotel crew the food the pools the rooms I truly Recommend it to everyone who wants a great vacation for a great value

Recently my partner and I spent 10 nights at Ella Elissa. We had an absolute amazing time from start to finish. To start with the resort was spotless clean. The resort, although very busy, offered such a calming atmosphere due to the fact of having multiple pools and sun lougers well spaced out. The food was delicious in every restaurant with a vide variety of options. The staff take great concern over any food allergies and advise and amend food for you to cater for your allergy. I would advise to try and book the restaurants before your stay as they book up very fast and they are experiences you do not want to miss. We also booked scuba diving through the guest services who were so helpful in doing so and I would highly recommend to do it as it was another unforgettable experience. I would like to thank all staff at the resort for being so kind, friendly and helpful and making our stay so special. A special mention to two staff members, Jenifer and Lampa, at bar 33 & 1/3 for their kindness, friendliness and warm welcoming smiles. They really looked after us and made our experience at the bar really pleasant and personable. Thank you to all at Ella Elissa and I hope to see you all again sometime in the future.

Lovely hotel with plenty of space and multiple pools. Staff were top notch and very helpful. Our room was perfectly located and a good layout as a couple. It’s a quiet hotel with music most days by 2 pools and a dj playing most nights but it’s not heavy or loud. Spa, gym and yoga deck means plenty of healthy activities. It’s next to the sister hotel which is a family resort but you rarely hear that side of it and amenities are not shared apart from the beach. This was the only disappointment for us. Restaurants give a good mix of food but I would say that the buffet side needs work. It’s good but not what I expected at this level of hotel. The experience restaurants are good but book early. The bars are stocked with quality brands and the cocktails are first class along with a great selection of wine
