I stayed at this hotel from the 3rd - 10th May 2025 in room 150 and had a wonderful sea view room, connected to the main building. Following my previous trips to Rhodes I have seen the outside of this hotel multiple times and finally gave it a chance for my first solo holiday. The welcome was lacking majorly, there were 2 people at reception, one member of staff was occupied with guests already and the other was busy with paperwork, I formed a queue to be served and another guest came to stand behind me, the other member of staff then decided to serve the guest who was behind me first and I was told that I could wait. This was the only rude member of staff I encountered during my stay and after a long day travelling, all I wanted to do was check into my room as quickly as possible. When I was finally invited to the reception desk to check in, nothing was explained, I was told the snack bar was open, I wasn’t told where to find it or how to find the restaurant for the evening meal. I have stayed at multiple 5* hotels and for a 5* hotel the welcome could be improved, a welcome drink and a proper explanation of the hotel map would be appreciated. My check-in experience was the complete opposite of the rest of my stay, every other member of staff was so polite, friendly and helpful during my stay. Every other member of the reception team are very approachable and helped when I was trying to arrange the shuttle bus into Rhodes Town. The rooms are basic but they were clean, spacious, plenty of storage and plug sockets, with a large bathroom and hairdryer. I did find the bath very high to climb into, I am on the shorter side but if you have mobility issues this is something to consider. I can’t praise the food enough at this hotel, wow just wow, I have never had such fresh and flavoursome food at an all include, the main buffet was the only proper restaurant I used, the majority of the food was covered and felt very sanitary, I didn’t see a kids buffet section during my stay but there was always pasta, chips, salad etc available so even picky eaters wouldn’t go without. My compliments go to the chefs in the main buffet and the snack bar by the pool, I never went hungry at this hotel and I had the pleasure of trying new foods and of course divine desserts. I never struggled to get a space around the pool, the pool near the snack bar is quite a steep decline from the main hotel but it is worth it, you can hear music from the bar and the aqua gym/zumba happens in that pool (the pool was absolutely freezing but I appreciate that I did go very early in the season, so the sun wasn’t quite strong enough to warm the pool). The pool was a good depth, not too deep and around waist height on most people. I did visit the spa a couple of times during my stay, it was expensive but I always treat myself whilst I’m on holiday. The treatments were ok, I have had better but they were still relaxing and everyone in the spa is so lovely. The staff from the spa do walk around the pool daily which I do find very repetitive especially as I had already booked twice, I don’t find it necessary for them to walk around the pool area daily, especially as guests can book via the QR code and of course visit the spa reception or catch them outside the restaurant on some evenings. I would return to this hotel as the positives outweighed any small negatives I experienced and I did have a beautiful stay. Please don’t forget the tourist tax whilst visiting and remember that this is a 5* hotel so you will be paying the maximum amount, my 7 night stay was €105 which is paid on check-in.
