Princess Andriana Resort & Spa

Absolutely brilliant hotel. We stayed for 7 days but wish it had been more. The entertainment team are the best we have ever seen. We go on holiday 3 times a year all over the world. The facilities at the hotel are second to none. The à la carte restaurants are a must, we tried the Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean and Italian all were top class. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Do not book unless you like cold food & unhelpful staff! Should be 3* not 5* We booked for 7 nights mid May, the staff were extremely unhelpful boarding on rude for any questions. The buffet restaurant was worse than the London Underground at peak time, no tables, staff running around like headless chickens & the food was STONE COLD. We were blamed for being English who like our food piping hot by guest relations but I’m unsure what country would like COLD food. The rooms were lovely and were regularly cleaned. Similarly so was the pool. Recommend visiting the beach bar across the road who provide traditional Greek cuisine which is warm and delicious.

Again, best expirience in Greece. Hotel is amazing, clean, comfortable and the staff always helpful. Special thanks to Gest Relation Rita for her hospitality and kindness. And to Giuseppe, from the Medalion Restaurant - for the smile, small chats and the most delicious pasta ever! See you again :)

We’ve just got back from a 2 week stay here, first week we were a group of 12 and 2nd week just the 3 of us, and it was a mix of emotions. First of all, this hotel has SO much potential, but there are so many things that let it down. Rooms - paying for a sea view is completely pointless. We arrived at 3am and was shown to a ‘sea view room’, which was ultimately just a view of the car park and the main road, with a slight view of the sea through the trees. It was also on top of where all the deliveries are made and there were also some huge fans which made such a racket all day and night. We asked to move rooms in the end to a pool view room as this was much better. The rooms are clean and spacious and perfect for our family of 3. Rooms are cleaned daily and mini bar restocked daily too. Food - this is where the hotel really lets itself down. If food is a big part of your holiday then this isn’t the hotel for you. Food in the main restaurant is repeated daily with small tweaks at lunch and dinner so you find yourself eating the same thing most days. The food lacked flavour and was typical batch cook all inclusive food, which is absolutely fine but for a 5* resort you would expect better. The food was also often dry and looked as if it had been left out for a long time. Breakfast was okay and always had plenty of choice. The main restaurant is absolute chaos too and really not enough space for the amount of people, we came out of season and that was bad enough so I can’t even imagine what it’s like at the height of summer. There are restaurants to book into however, these must be booked as soon as you arrive at guest relations. We were never advised to book through guest relations so kept trying to book at reception but everytime we tried we were told they were ‘full’. After asking daily I spoke to a lady at guest relations who managed to squeeze us into the Japanese, Mexican and bbq restaurants. Japanese was a real let down, was told this was buffet style so children had a selection and that wasn’t the case. Food arrived and the chicken main course was completely cold and had to send it back. Asked for another round of drinks and they never arrived. Mexican was okay. There was a choice of buffet and a main menu to order from. We ordered burgers from the main menu, but when they arrived it was just an over cooked beef burger, sauce with no flavour and a bit of soggy rocket slapped into a bun. Bbq was another let down. We booked in for 8:30pm which was the only slot available even though the restaurant was empty. The chefs advised us there was no more chicken available, and a lot of the sides had been sat there for a while or were empty and were not replaced. The sides were also similar to what you could get in the buffet restaurant so really not much difference. Overall we haven’t had one good meal since we arrived, and for a hotel which boasts numerous restaurants is a real disappointment. Location - the hotel really doesn’t have much around it to see and do so hiring a car is an absolute must to see the island and get out and about. There is a bus stop outside the hotel which takes you into Lindos and Rhodes etc which you can get a timetable from reception for. They run every 30 minutes, however, after waiting for over 45 minutes for the bus it arrived completely full and wasn’t allowing any more passengers to board. In the end we went into the Marathon car hire place next to the bus stop and hired cars for €40 for the day which was much better value for money. There is a small row of shops across the road and a bit further up the hill that sell bits and bobs but in terms of eating and drinking in the area there really isn’t much. The transfer from the airport is also a good 2 hours if there are multiple drop offs, so bare this in mind and consider a private transfer to reduce the time if you can. Pools - the pools are amazing and there’s always plenty of sunbeds to choose from at all times of the day. The waterpark was fantastic and a great addition to the hotel, our kids loved it! Entertainment - we didn’t really watch any of the shows or engage in activities as our children are older now but you can see that the entertainment team to try to reach out and include as many people as possible. Evening entertainment is usually at the pool bar but this lacks seating so if you want to enjoy the DJ or singers make sure you get a spot early enough. The only other place to sit and have a drink is the hotel lobby which doesn’t feel very relaxing and at times can be incredibly chaotic. Overall the hotel is lovely to look at but when you stay here you can really see the flaws and what it’s lacking which is really sad as there is so much potential to make the hotel amazing. I wouldn’t agree that this is a ‘luxe’ hotel or a 5* and needs great work to bring it up to that standard.

First impression brilliant, had a lovely cake and bottle of fizz. Loved it, food was lovely. Watching staff in the main area i witnessed a girl bringing guest to their tables and kept rolling her eyes. Just thought she was busy. Big disappointment after finding no iron in the room and if I wanted any of my dresses ironed it would cost 8.50 euro each. My children paid as a birthday treat to stay in a room with my own pool. I was at the end with a gap in the hedge, there looked like a staff entrance next to it. I wasn't bothered by this until my husband and I was going back to the room and spotted a staff member sitting near this entrance in the dark drinking alchol. Another staff member came out and joined him and sat down as well. I would have been frightened if I was on my own. The 2nd last day, my sheet on my bed was untidied so I went to fix it and the mattress protector was dirty, for a 5 star hotel it was a stupid error, as it looked like it was never changed before I ever stayed in the room.
