Lindos Imperial Resort & Spa

Just returned from 9th visit and we are unhappy with changes this time in quality in food particularly in snack bars, also the taste of cocktails which are premixed. Also no branded available even for purchase particularly no Metaxa which we totally expect being on a Greek island! We were told new managers were trying to cut expenditure which we understand however it should not be on quality. In our opinion the hotel now would only deserve 3 star. Gutted!

We had a lovely relaxing 5 day stay at The Lindos Imperial. Our room was spacious and the weather was perfect. Although a little remote, we enjoyed days out in Lindos and Rhodes town. A special thanks goes to Andreas at Reception who ensured our needs were catered for and always went the extra mile for us.

We have just returned from a week at Lindos Imperial. We booked before reading reviews and had been apprehensive having done so, with some of the very negative reviews on here. Our experience was broadly very positive and I wanted to write a review to assist others. As many say, it is a big resort and that can mean some walking between areas. For those with mobility issues, it could present a problem, but it is 10-15 mins walking between the beach and the very top of the site (the activity pool area). This is broken up really well in my view as the areas all have their own "vibe" and there are lots of options in each. We were lucky to be in the main building which is central, but if you plan to be in a particular area for a while, I don't see the size should present a major issue. There are lifts at each building to make it easier if needed. Our rooms was well presented, clean and comfortable. There was a fair bit of noise in the "kids" room from nearby air conditioning units, but it didn't bother them (like white noise, actually might be good!) There was great availablity of sunbeds etc at the Activity Pool (where we were mostly), though the hotel was clearly winding down for the end of the season so I imagine it may be different in peak months. It was our first all-inclusive and so difficult to compare, but the food in the main buffet restaurant was always plentiful and nice with lots of options. I am a vegetarian (other family members are not) and there was something for everyone. We didn't book any A La Carte - the app wasn't great and advised to book in person. I heard mixed reviews from others but as the main restaurant was okay, we didn't feel we needed any more. Other reviews have mentioned cocktails and drinks. I can't really comment on that - but the beer (lager) was fine and the odd G&T also fine (if strong!). The family entertainment (kids club, mini disco and pool activities) were great. The animation team really put in the effort (even on the last week of the season) to entertain children. Our kids couldn't wait to go to Mini Club. Special mention to Alexandra. The astronomy event was great too, even on a rare cloudy night. My son sustained an injury while there (a bad cut having tripped on stairs). Despite some initial scepticism from the reception staff, once decided a doctor was appropriate, she was there within 30 mins and patched him up, with antibiotics and dressings delivered to us by the hotel. The WiFi coverage is excellent in all areas of the resort (not just rooms). The gym is well equipped and the Spa seemed good. Overall we had an excellent time and would definitely recommend it to others.

The stayed from 24-31/10. Weather was 24/25 degrees, it was hot. Our stay was wonderful, the hotel is very big, a lot of walk but we didn’t mind. Our booked room with private pool and beachfront, some room are not really facing the beach but you could see the beach. The room was clean, bathroom had mould and was ok clean in the shower. The outside was dirt so we had to wear slippers once come out of the pool. The best things I found was toilets were everywhere, wherever was Bar the toilet was nearby. Food was same everyday but there is a lots of choices. We had Meze meze (Greek cuisine) it was delicious but the most we enjoyed more was Amos ( Fish restaurant) sea bass and salmon was yummy. Drinks were ok, from soft drinks to alcohol, some waiter were better than others. Some knew what they were doing others weren’t bothered. Ours kids had soft drinks and the commented about the one who made it better. Evening performances, it was brilliant, we had so much fun. The staff were so great and looks like they enjoyed what they were doing, we danced, we laughed, we enjoy the shows, the magic, the quizzes and the dancers, singer… this was amazing holiday. Thank you to every single staff for the amazing hospitality.

We stayed at Lindos Imperial Resort & Spa in late October 2025, booking through Hays Travel / Classic Collection Holidays. Unfortunately, the resort was nowhere near the standard advertised when we booked. When we arrived, around 90% of restaurants and facilities were closed or unavailable. We were told everything was “rotational,” but in reality, only two à la carte restaurants were open – and both were fully booked for the entire week before we even arrived. The restaurant app didn’t work, so there was no way to reserve anything. The buffet was repetitive, serving the same food every day with only minimal changes, and the children’s section never changed at all. Several staff members confirmed the hotel is closing early and that they are simply using up remaining food stock, which explains the limited options. The children’s club and entertainment had finished weeks earlier, despite being advertised as running through October. Entertainment staff have repeatedly said it’s their “last show,” yet keep re-appearing – showing clear confusion and lack of organisation. We raised this with the management and with our tour operator, but so far there’s been no meaningful resolution. The real manager, George, was helpful, but it’s clear he’s fighting an uphill battle with little support. If you’re considering travelling here towards the end of the season, be aware that the experience is not as described – most facilities are unavailable, and the resort appears to be winding down for closure.
