LABRANDA Kiotari Miraluna Resort

This is a super find! A big hotel with many dining options and direct access to the most lovely beach. We upgraded to a maisonette which I would highly recommend - it was great to have our own pool for relaxed mornings. Although this hotel has many rooms, there are various pools and lounging areas, so it never felt very busy. The hotel is spotless and the staff are welcoming. Chara, Guest Relations Manager, was superb - so professional and welcoming - she organised champagne to our room for my partner's birthday and also a surprise cake at our evening meal. Definitely email her if you need anything special arranging - she is lovely! Great variety of food in the main buffet restaurant and our favourite meal was at the Greek restaurant (you can reserve one a la carte per stay) - the food was amazing. We caught the bus to Lindos to see the acropolis - definitely worth a visit, and the watersports centre on the beach is great (run by a British family). There were various options of evening entertainment - we saw live bands, a singer and acrobatic dancers. There is also a super little supermarket on site which stocks everything that you may need. A truly wonderful place!

On August 11th, I returned home from a 7-night stay at Kiotari Miraluna Beach Resort, and I thought I’d share a few details about the location. It is a peaceful resort, well-suited for families with children, featuring polite staff who are always ready to help (a special mention to Hans at Reception and Victoria from Guest Relations). Its location on Rhodes makes organize trips a bit challenging unless you rent a car to explore on your own (a Rent-a-Car service is available on-site). Another drawback (unrelated to the resort itself) is that day trips do not include food or drinks in the price. This can be problematic if you leave early in the morning and return in the evening, especially given the heat and the constant need to stay hydrated (though the food situation is easily solved at local tavernas). Regarding children, parents must supervise them closely when going into the sea, as there is a flag on the beach stating "No lifeguard." Speaking of the sea, the water is clean and at a perfect temperature for swimming. However, the beach consists of sand mixed with gravel (for the pickier guests), and the large underwater rocks make water shoes essential to avoid potential injuries. At the beach bar, soft drinks are free for all-inclusive guests between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM (if you want beer, you either pay for it or head to the resort's main bars). As for the internal resort bars, their operating hours are scheduled continuously so guests always have a place to grab a refreshing drink or light snacks between main meals (I highly recommend both the gyros and the pizza from Syrtaki and Il Gusto). Those two spots also function as à la carte restaurants; you can reserve a table at one of them during a 7-night stay, though ordered drinks come at an extra charge. One tip not mentioned in the resort’s description: as soon as you arrive, book a Greek evening at the Aqua pool restaurant. Beyond the delicious food, drinks are included, and you get live Greek music and traditional folk dancing. The main meals at the Socrates restaurant easily cater to diverse tastes—the food is varied and high-quality (watch out for the scale at the end of your trip! :-)). The rooms are spacious and offer all necessary comforts (I won't list the amenities as they are detailed online), with the bonus that I was lucky enough to have a pool right by my balcony—a huge perk when you don't feel like walking to the beach. Cleaning is done daily, which is also when bottled water is restocked in the fridge (if there are any delays, just ask Hans, Victoria, or anyone at Reception). The overall atmosphere was relaxing. Every evening featured entertainment for children followed by shows for adults, including different performers, bands, karaoke nights, and contests. I believe that—unless they start holding family competitions to clear the big rocks out of the sea! :-)—Kiotari Miraluna Beach Resort is definitely worth considering for a seaside vacation.

Disappointed ! Thought we were off to a great start when the staff that greeted us upon arrival were lovely & helpful ! We were a family of 5 who booked 2 rooms one for me & the husband and one for our 3 boys who are 22, 16 & 14 but upon arrival the hotel had changed the booking to one room with twin beds supposedly for me & the husband & one with a double bed and a sofa bed for the 3 boys so it ended up with our 14 year old in with us ! .. we had it all room swarming with ants, cockroaches in the corridors, fire alarm fault in our block ! So we paid for upgrade to family swim up room which was worth it ! For all inclusive it was awful food was mediocre, except the pizza and gyros bars .drinks awful mostly warm & flat and choice of cocktails disgusting if you wanted decent drinks you had to pay especially as choice of spirits was vodka, gin, whisky & rum ! Also it advertises a Gelateria (ice cream ) but it doesn’t have one it’s scoops of ice cream in the buffet or you have to pay at the shop or beach bar ! Not enough sunbeds by miles for around the pools ! And when I needed a dressing for my son’s leg I was told they don’t have a first aid kit and nearest pharmacy was Lindos !!!! But there was one 5 mins down road ! We have stayed in several hotels in Rhodes now and sadly this is the worst ! The best thing about it was the staff who are lovely especially the beach bar guys ! & Ben the rat who comes out at night at the beach bar ! Sadly won’t be coming back here even if it’s cheap !

We recently stayed at Kiotari Miraluna Beach Resort and had a wonderful holiday. The hotel itself offers great facilities — plenty of pools, clean communal areas, and a lovely beachfront location. While the cocktail options were a little limited, everything else was spot on and well maintained. What truly elevated our stay, though, was the incredible animation team. A huge shout‑out to Xavia, Shyla, Veronika, and Giovanni, who brought so much energy, warmth, and fun to every single day. They didn’t just run activities — they created moments. Their enthusiasm, friendliness, and genuine passion for making guests feel welcome made our holiday feel special in a way that goes far beyond the usual resort experience. A particular highlight was Movie Night. It was absolutely brilliant — creative, hilarious, and so much fun. Without question, it was one of the best moments of our entire trip and something we’ll remember for a long time. Overall, Kiotari Miraluna Beach Resort is a great place to relax, but it’s the animation team who truly make it shine. They turned a good holiday into a fantastic one, and we can’t thank them enough.

Stayed here for a week on N all inclusive basis & before we booked I did the usual thing & read the reviews & didn’t know what to expect but there really was nothing to worry about. Honestly yes there’s a few teething issues but I can only speak as I find. Firstly the positives Firstly on arrival Andrew on reception was very welcoming & couldn’t do enough for us. We were taken to our room on a buggy & advised due to our late arrival food was available even though the restaurant was closed. The hotel was impeccable on its cleanliness & every morning there was at least 15 staff working on just our pools, there was cleaners working on every part of the hotel constantly. Housekeeping was in everyday changing the bath towels & making the beds & giving us fresh water. Rooms were air conditioned along with most parts of the hotel which was a great rest-bite as temperatures hit 37-38 degrees. The food in the restaurant was excellent & varied & there was a different themed night every night in the restaurant including Spanish, Greek, Asian & Indian The fresh Pizzas & Gyros opposite the pool with the pirate ship were a big hit with my boys, The water sports on the beach were excellent & my boys went twice on the jet ski’s which they loved every minute of it. There’s boat trips to Lindos from the beach which we took the Lindos by boat option which is a must & you must visit St Paul’s Bay whilst you’re there. In the evenings the hotel provides entertainment in both the Athena Bar & the amphitheater which was great. There was a couple of negatives which wouldn’t take much to irradicate as I’d imagine everyone probably has the same issues Firstly in the evening the Athena bar could do with some air conditioning as it was extremely warm when getting a drink, now being all inclusive not every drink was included so if you want Malibu or a Hendricks Gin etc you have to pay for those so its only the local spirits which are included & it’s only the local beer , not all cocktails are included also which if you want a Pina Colada you also have to pay. Only water & soft drinks are included with the all inclusive at the beach bar but at the beach party on Sunday night the signs were removed so assuming this & as it was all organised by the hotel I ordered a beer & a wine which I now assumed were all inclusive however i was charged for these Like I say these are minor things & easily rectifiable Every member of staff was super polite , helpful & couldn’t do enough for you, the hotel is lovely & wouldn’t hesitate to return. From the bar staff to guest relations to the receptionists & especially Andrew thank you for a great week Hopefully see you again soon The Simmons’s - X -
