Rodos Princess Beach Hotel

Thank you Rodos Princess! We had a wonderful holiday! Your no 1 is the staff and the food! I dont know how you do it! Food accessible everywhere, and all of it is wonderful! Fresh and tasty, dinners were always different. Plenty of greek food too. Crepes at patteserie were amazing, smiling ladies too😉 coctails were made in seconds😁entertainment team wonderful, evening programme excellent both for adults and kids. Pools clean, some slides were fun, area and room was clean. Ac worked well, wall insulation was pretty good. Had a room further from the main building, which was perfect for us. Complex seemed large at first, but managable. Sea is accessible crossing a quiet road and quite of steps down, or by a hotel shuttle. Pebbles and some rocks in, bring beach shoes. Sea is suitable for kids, though deepens fast. The wind is not nearly as strong as in other areas of Rhodes, just refreshing, so one of the better beaches to swim and even snorkel i would say. Only negatives were some noisy neighbours, ones sitting in the balcony at night, echoe was strong and we could hear everything inside our room. Others very early shouting in the corridors, also the doors not very soundproof(could use a second door from corridor to the room!). Another negative is not exclusive to this hotel-very very hard to find free loungers in the beach, sometimes in the pools too, all booked with towels and stuff. Even though there were many many loungers, all soft and comfy. Main restorant as mentioned by many, gets overwhelmingly loud and crowded yet too bright at dinner😐there are mostly tables for two outside, which is bizzare, because it is a family hotel? Several times we got a table near the window, then could have a more relaxed and quiet dinner. Staff once more amazing!! Coocks are invisable magicians! 80percent were italians, 10 germans, remaining-british but high end, and several of us, lithuanians😁 all a bit loud but very polite, nice, safe to leave all of your stuff to migrate from pool to the sea and etc. Thanks to an italian woman who shared her umbrella with me😊 All in all would recommend and would return!

We (two adults, one seven-year old) stayed here for one week late in the UK summer holidays. The whole experience was generally positive and we would recommend staying here for a standard relaxing all-inclusive holiday. The main restaurant offered a wide choice of options every breakfast, lunch and dinner so should provide for most diets. The meat was often a little questionable (eg the bacon and sausages; fish dishes just being labelled as ‘fish’ rather than the actual meat variety), but the salad and fruit offerings were broad. Puddings were delicious and rotated daily for a great variety. The pools were fine and spacious enough to have a play. The shape and depth just about allowed for a bit of actual swimming if you wanted to get in a bit of a swim, but obviously not a priority in this environment (the spa pool much more conventional and quieter for this). Pool slides basic, but fun. It was a daily requirement to get up early (6am) to get sunbeds by the pool, but they did occasionally become available throughout the day. The pool bar was mostly easy and quick with friendly service and the crepe snack shack near the pool was great for a daytime refreshment (although expect a bit of a queue). The restaurant by the pool was easy, although mostly junk food (pizza, nuggets, chips). We didn’t really use the beach as it was busy and shingly, but the sea was pleasant. Our room was clean, but had a few issues. We’re not complainers so stayed in our original room but would have felt justified asking to move. We had a few minor issues: - the kettle didn’t work - the TV remote only sometimes worked - the bathroom door made a huge bang every time it opened or closed - the fridge cupboard door was loose on its hinges - there were socks left (out of reach) on the balcony from a previous guest. None of these issues particularly affected our stay, but they were disappointing. The kids club was varied and fun and our seven year old became very fond of the friendly team throughout our stay. The evening entertainment was occasionally cheesy but the kids loved it. The dancing and choreography was impressive and the multi-lingual animation team were a good bunch. The location of the hotel is nicely situated on a decent beach, but it is a long drive from the airport. A day-trip to Rhodes Old Town is worth it but a long drive (we got an organised bus which took 80mins - local bus takes 2 hours), and a €28 taxi is an option for a closer day-trip to Lindos.

We stayed here for 2 weeks as a family of 4 in a economy family room. It had a large double bed, sliding door and on the other side 2 proper sized single beds. The beds were very comfortable to sleep on, the only negative I have regarding the beds is the very soft pillows, I like a firm one and we only had 1 each. I am sure if I asked reception for more, we would have been provided with them. On arrival at resort at around 4pm, we were greeted by very friendly reception staff, who were very willing to help me break my padlock that I couldn't get open 😅 I was told that they had given me a free upgrade to a sea view room (I originally booked a garden view room) which was gratefully accepted 😀 and what a beautiful view it was. We were room 4116 on the far right hand side (if you are facing the entrance to the hotel) of the complex. It was about a 2-3 mins walk to reception and about 4 mins to the pools down some steps. It was a bit of a trek to get back to the room from the beach but the views were worth it 😆. The room was clean and spacious. The maids were in everyday if you allowed them to and we had our towels changed daily. There were very friendly and always said good morning (calimera) if you passed them on the way out. They always looked busy. The staff were all friendly, I didn't experience any rudeness from any staff member which is lovely because we went to Turkey one year and thats all we experienced there! The pools are very clean, they are very strict with pool closing at 6pm and do not allow anybody in there past that, so they can put the chemicals etc in it for the next day. Some people in these reviews talk negatively about the sunbeds here, but there are no sunbed wars, unless you are late risers and expect to get more than 1 sunbed past 10am. We used to get there by 9am ish and would always get 4 beds together. We spent most days down at the beach though. The entertainment staff worked their socks off. They were always doing something. Around the pools and beach. They weren't pushy either to get you involved in the activities which was nice. The evening entertainment was a bit pants but saying that, the entertainment team seemed very proud of themselves because you could tell they put their all into it. The Lion King show they did was basically them miming the Lion King movie out whilst dressed up 🤣. There is no shortage of food and drink availability here and the food was delicious wherever you ate. There was more than enough choice for brekkie too. The toaster in the restaurant needs replacing though because no matter how many times you put your bread through, it never changed colour or get any crispier. Hubby said the temperature knob was broken so set on the lowest setting. Only went to lunch once and baked potatoes were available amongst other things. My daughter loved that spag bol was available any time of the day 😅 she called it mint sauce 😃, it was yummy though. Dinner time in the restaurant got very busy after 730pm so we would try to get there earlier, but no matter how busy it got, you were shown to a table very quickly. There is no order with direction of getting food though, so people were cutting in and out of you or zigzagging around the place 🤣 quite frustrating sometimes. The restaurant opposite the pool had pizza, Gyros and Hotdogs, chips, nuggets and salad and fresh fruit available from 10am -6pm daily then from 1030-1130pm every evening. They also had self service drinks machines which had Pepsi and 7up available. It also has a self serve beer tap and wine tap. Some children would just go around filling up cups from them and tipping them out straight away with no parent in site watching them which was annoying, especially when people were waiting to get there drinks. There are crepes, ice cream,.coffee and waffles available from the patisserie from 10am - 1130pm everyday. They are very prompt at closing time. The staff there were very friendly and polite and always had a smile on their faces. The apollo bar was lovely and looked very elegant, the live singer that was in there the other night was amazing. I sang my heart out 😅. The guys at the pool bar were lovely and game for a laugh, they had a good sense of humour. The beach bar is included in the AI but they dont serve spirits there just beer and soft drinks but they do serve a vodka slush. They like to have a joke around when you ask for a Pepsi and they say beer 🤣. There is food available here too from 10-6 and whippy ice cream from the bar (if the machine is working that is! ). The waterspouts are a reasonable price at the beach too. The water is warm and calm.at the beach and amazing spot for snorkeling. A good tip is buy water shoes because the pebbly sand gets red hot, its like walking on lava 😬 luckily I read about this before arriving so i got some from Temu for myself and my daughter. Godsend. They are available to buy from the onsite shop and the shops across the road for around a tenner. Plenty of sunbeds but get there before 10am latest or you'll be lucky to get more than one because its open to the Princess Sun hotels residents too. You have to go down a lot of stairs to the beach so.have to walk up.a load of stairs to get back from.the beach which became easier the more times we visited the beach. It was a killer the first time 😆. Never used the slides pool but always seemed to be sunbeds available when we walked past. Pool towels are included,.you are given towel cards and you can change them every 2 days at the spa. Mini bar is replenished every 2 days. In room safe is free. WiFi dips in and out, I had to keep signing in all the time. The tv in our room didn't work the whole 2 weeks we were there. Maintenance came to fix the issue and said it needs a professional, and the professional never sorted it, husband who is an engineer said it was a network issue 🤷‍♀️. To be honest though, we didn't miss it. The ala cartes were amazing. We tried the Asian restaurant twice and the food was plentiful and very tasty. The burger restaurant was also very yummy. We only got in here once as it was fully booked. You can have 4 visits as part of the AI. We didn't try the beach BBQ due to the negative reviews on it and at 15€ each it wasn't worth the risk for us. Pool inflatables are allowed, beware if taking on the beach because its very windy and we witnessed a few lilos flying away in the distance far out to sea 🤭🤣. The whole place is amazing and we have rebooked for next year because of how amazing it was. We never go to the same place twice! We took the public.bus to Lindos outside the hotel for 3€ each, each way. If you are planning to see the Acropolis and you have a child under the age of 18, take photo id because they want to see it when you get there. We got caught out with this with our 13 year old.daughter and had.to pay the adult price of €20. But the view was worth it. We booked Rhodes Old Town online through impress holidays. The express option picks you up from your hotel for €22 return. The bus is air conditioned too. Its worth it. There are a few shops across the road from the hotel and a couple of restaurant/bars that show football. We ate out once at the Gre cafe, that was nice. This hotel is amazing, ignore negative reviews and book it. You will not be disappointed. I am counting down the days that I am back in paradise. 336 days to go 😛🤣. My next door neighbours saw my holiday pics and have also booked for next July too 😀. Just book it ❤️

Lyn, her personality and enjoyment made our stay next level. Always served with a smile especially in the Asian restaurant where she’s always fill up our water and drinks glasses ! Pure joy thank you ☺️ 5 stars 🌟
