This was our third visit to The Elysium, and once again, we had a wonderful stay. From arriving at the hotel reception, until our departure after a week, we were treated like family, with the utmost respect and professionalism by every member of staff. Although the hotel itself is immaculately clean, well organised, proficient and dedicated to making the guest experience to be one of the finest, the actual beauty of this hotel has to be with all the staff, who work so hard, and are always friendly, polite and welcoming. It is testament to the hotel that most of the staff are also returning season after season, which means they know their guests well. From the exceptional food range presented in the restaurants, cooked to perfection by the chefs behind the kitchen walls, to the front of house service given by the all the servers. Special thanks again, go to Manolis and Mariana who seated us every day, and were so attentive to our needs, but all the staff were lovely. We also had occasion to visit the panoramic roof top breakfast area with Michael and his staff, who were also very professional and welcoming. The location of the hotel is ideal for a lovely chill out stay, being right on a lovely shale beach, close to the water's edge., or close to the local town of Rhodes, with a bus stop outside the hotel. There is no difficulty in obtaining sun-loungers, either on the beach or around the pool, in tidy, well kept surroundings. This hotel is highly inclusive, and makes less abled guests feel as welcome as possible, and again, special mention goes out to Elton (Beach Supervisor) and his colleague, Jeffrey, who went above and beyond to help site the beach rope so that anyone who found difficulty getting in and out of the water in the sliding shale (me!) could use this to access the water more easily. For those who required wheelchair access, the decked beach areas and robotic chair, enabled them to go for swim sessions, admirably assisted by Elton and Jeffrey throughout the day. This ensures a relaxing environment for everyone. The ability to order from your sun lounger from the Almyra Bar is also helpful, and once again, staff were so helpful. The evening entertainment is varied, and choices range from the Crystal bar and lounge, or outdoors, and certainly the acts had everyone joining in, or just chilling. With great spacious rooms, all with sea views, and a cleaning team who were efficient and unobtrusive, were were so well looked after again at this gem of a hotel and plan to return again later in the year. This is now our go to hotel for a most relaxing holiday., and given the numbers of returning guests, we are not alone in this thought, and all credit goes to the teams working at this magnificent hotel to make everyone's stay so pleasant. Well done and thank you all. Paul and Christine
