Stayed for last week in September 2023. All staff very friendly, room was clean and tidy, great views out to the beach and across Pefkos bay. The meals that we had were okay and very much what you would expect from that price of all inclusive in Rhodes. The room was clean and towels changed when needed. Plenty of room by the two pools or on the beach. The pool bar was great and although it didnt serve spirits, the beers and soft drinks were fine. We arrived at 11:30 pm and were given a welcome drink and all explained. 30Euro deposit for remote control and after the 1 st day we paid 8Euro for air con which was fine given it was in high 30s. Value for money and would consider the hotel when booking next year

“Beautiful, relaxed holiday ”

Just returned from a lovely, relaxing stay at this hotel, with my two children. I can honestly say I am gobsmacked by some of the reviews, as they were absolutely not our experience at all. I think if you're looking for a very "British" type of holiday abroad, or want a very boozy, lively holiday, it's not right for you. But we found it to be absolutely stunning. Chris, the manager/son, couldn't do enough to help and was very friendly; Alex, our waiter, continually went above and beyond during our stay, and a thank you also needs to go to the lovely young waitress there. Yes, I understand to a certain degree the comments about some of the food, and you could quibble about a few things maybe, but overall, a delicious spread was put out at each meal, and we were all more than satisfied. The hotel is situated on the coastine, with a public sandy beach a few steps away, but honestly, the views surrounding the hotel were so spectacular, that I was very content to stay mainly by the very scenic, salt water rock pool. (I guess my personal bugbear is people playing music on their phones, when all I wanted to do was hear the waves crashing on the rocks, but I think Chris would deal with this if asked, and it never became an issue.) There are also two other main pools, the largest of which my teens enjoyed, and a small children's pool. Certainly, there were a few slight imperfections, but honestly, for the price it was exceptionally good value. I'm afraid comments from previous reviews that state things like gherkins for dessert, are really only showing their own misunderstanding of food that just wasn't typically British. This was preserved fruit, not gherkins! Also, I just cannot comprehend comments about what we found to be copious amounts of delicious, fresh, not tinned, food. I feel like apologising to the hotel on behalf of some of these reviews, which sound like they took place on a completely different planet to the beautiful, if a tiny bit tired, hotel we stayed at. I hope theses reviewers spend five times as much in future and get the holiday they want somewere else next time.
