Lindos Village Resort & Spa

Had a lovely evening meal at Bocca restaurant - amazing service and diverse food options! Thanks for the hospitality!!

If this was listed as a 3* hotel rather than a 5* I would rate it more highly (it is NOT a 5* hotel). The staff really make this place, they are extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was lovely and the setting high on the hill is beautiful. The ‘private’ beach is shared with another hotel and not adult only as the hotel is. Go with 3* expectations and you will enjoy it.

Unfortunately the best part of our stay was leaving for another hotel. I hate writing bad reviews - but you have to know what you are getting. This is at absolute most a 3 star hotel. Anybody who says otherwise - I promise you has never been to a 5 star resort. Complete false advertising. Unfortunately this is the reality: No WiFi anywhere In general it is unbelievably noisy - everywhere. In the room there are paper thin walls and ceiling - you can people simply move! You go to an adult only resort - but it is attached to a very loud family resort. The pool loungers are adjacent to the kid’s water slides next door - so all you hear is screaming kids. They try and drown this out by blasting music! So if you want to relax by the pool - it is not happening. Along with this - the pool bar last orders is 4.30pm which is 2.5hours before pool closes - so you can’t even get water without hiking up to the main hotel. There are a lot of stairs! There is no adjustment for any mobility issues. Then youhave the adjoining amphitheatre that absolutely blasts until 11pm - if you think you are sleeping before then - you are not! (Not even with earplugs! The hotel is unfortunately falling apart in places 1 it needs major renovation. The food is poor. In Greece of all places they serve ‘off’ olives from a jaw! The fresh cooked fish was raw! I’ve never had fish with blood in the core and see through flesh - even the chef threw it quickly in the bin. Fish is not kept separate for pescatarian - before touching my fish, he grabbed raw chicken out of a bucket! For a resort and spa! ….the gym (the reason we chose this hotel… is an appalling, health risk. - There is broken old equipment that is a rusty safety risk, there is no ac (read reviews it’s been broken forever), no water, no towels , broken machines (no electricity for the treadmills. - it is falling apart, small and filthy! (See pics) Also see pics of ‘garden view’! View to the kids slides with some dead grass. The shower is powerful but it floods the bathroom - so ask for spare towels to mop up the flood. Grounds dry and unmaintained - dead foliage and bags of rubbish everywhere. Oh and don’t bother with half board - food is dreadful and you don’t even get water at dinner! It’s 4euros to survive! The good (it’s limited) the staff we encountered (reception/restaurant) were attentive and pleasant. The room is large and the bed is comfortable. But that is it. Sorry - but you have to know what you are booking - a 3 star mediocre stay.

Magnificent bay view! Very good staff through the whole of the hotel areas. Food was beautiful in buffet and speciality restaurant/Bocca which we used a couple of nights. Room was not great but bed and pillows were comfy; bathroom very old, too small, rusty showerhead, blocked drain at times. Short taxi ride to Lindos Town very much worth it-gorgeous. Not many restaurants within walking distance as first thought as required main road walk but we did find a simple family run meze restaurant about 15mins away. The beach was a pebble beach with very clear sea and easy enough to get in and out of. Lovely ‘Banana Beach’ bar to sit and cool off with drinks or food. Recommend use of buggy to get back to hotel as it’s a very steep walk from the beach-not usually a problem for us, but when it’s 90+° it’s hard work! Cheap bus rides to Lindos €2 or Rhodes €5 but lengthy rides. We paid €15 to Lindos in taxi for a short ride, so €30 a visit can become expensive. A visit to Symi is recommended-stunning! Sister hotels completed the complex; children’s section of the Royal backed onto the Village pool so a little noisy but nothing too bothersome. The Grand was more modern for adults and their fine dining restaurant was ok but expensive. Our hotel evening entertainment was good with varied singers/music and the girls that worked the bar were fun and engaging. Overall we had an amazing week’s holiday and you can never tire of the beautiful view from this hillside hotel.

Had a lovely 50 mins full body massage with Anna. She was really nice and welcoming, the Swedish massage was most relaxing and soothing (absolutely fabulous). The oils they use smell amazing and I could smell them for the rest of the day. Thank you
