“Friendly and family hotel”

We just visited the hotel and we love it. Upon arrival they offered us a refreshing cocktail as we ware waiting a few minutes to check us in. Very friendly people treated us like a family. The buffet is really nice tasty food with plenty if choices. Very nice environment and we really enjoy it.

“Not my idea of a family orientated resort”

Unfortunately I can't say we were wowed by the whole experience. We booked for 5 guests, grandad, mum and 3 childen, names and ages of guests were provided at booking, when we got to the room there were only 4 beds, 4 towels and 4 glasses.

Unfortunately I can't say we were wowed by the whole experience. We booked for 5 guests, grandad, mum and 3 childen, names and ages of guests were provided at booking, when we got to the room there were only 4 beds, 4 towels and 4 glasses. It seemed like when it came to cleaning the room the cleaners were on a timer and did less that the bare minimum, eg bathroom mirror/ shower screen weren't cleaned at all, one day only 2 of the beds were made, glasses/ mugs were cleaned/ replaced very sporadically, under the beds were grim. A light bulb exploded one evening leaving shards of glass on the beds and floor, when I asked for a dustpan and brush in order to at least sweep the floor I was told that housekeeping would come and sort it, after waiting an hour I went back up to reception and reiterate that there were tired children who need to go to bed. When housekeeping eventually arrived she just brushed the beds off and quickly swept directly around the area, (I would have expected the bedding to be changed to avoid the risk of leaving a small shard of glass behind.) Baring in mind that it is a 'family' resort the 'shallow' pool was 60cm deep and unheated, the play area was very much a token effort, it has obviously recently been renewed but already has graffiti on part of the swing set and what I think is the roof off of part of climbing frame on the floor. The floor itself is very uneven (rubber tiles which have curled and very badly installed felt/ astronaut turf). The baby swings are too close to the floor so toddler feet are liable to be dragged across the floor every time they swing. 😔 Around the resort itself was kept clean and tidy and there were plenty of staff around keeping on top of dirty plates, glasses etc. The food was reasonable, mains/ breakfast a bit samey but a good enough spread,the deserts were lovely and much more varied. Evening meals were not particularly enjoyable, drinks were no longer self service and as the week went on we wee waiting longer and longer to get a drink at all, on 1 occasion we had eaten our mains amd deserts before our drinks order was taken. The ice cream was lovely and very much a favourite of the children. The staff were smiley and polite, a couple of the waitresses and reception staff were particularly nice towards the children although I was a bit dissapointed when one of the waitresses, who had taken a shine to the children and the children adored, tried to interact with them as we were leaving the restaurant one evening and was seemingly 'told off', she'd only tried to respond to the children saying hello. This place seems more interested in being an overnight stop off for coach sightseeing tours than a 'family friendly all inclusive resort' I'd say if you want to spend time as a family at the actual resort rather than using it as a base then there are sure to be better options around. If you just want a place to lay your head it may be OK. Location isn't bad and transportation is reasonably inexpensive. The beach was full of rubbish when we arrived but was cleaned over the week we were there. The children's highlight of the whole week was 'Toady' the dead toad in the pool near our room, they enjoyed seeing where he moved to each time they checked 🤣. Old Town Rhodes was absolutely lovely and the Palace/ wall are well worth a visit.
