Rested from 13.07. 2012 to 24.07. 2012 from the Southern Cross according to the Special Offer, two adults and a child. We flew from Transaero and Moscow. The transfer to the hotel took about 40 minutes. Settled in quickly. At the bar, lunch was left for all those who arrived in the form of a plate with stew, side dishes and vegetables. Russians drove into the hotel 10 people. The hotel rested Germans, Poles. The hotel is small, close to everything. The child himself ran to the playground, to the pool and bar. Near the hotel 4 *, animation for English-speaking children and Germans. There is no animation for Russians. Alfa Beach Hotel 4 * is large and noisy, there is sewerage nearby and the hotel smells. Hotel Alfa 3 * is located on Columbia Beach. This is a small village with many shops and cafes. The hotel is quieter and cleaner. No tynts-tynts and dynts-dynts. There are not many people. The food is good, lots of meat and vegetables. During the day, children and adults are served ice cream at the bar. At the bar you can pour water into your own bottle. Lunch outside. Dinner at the restaurant, soup menu in the evening. The bar makes cocktails, delicious Alpha Beach and Bahama Mama. There is hard alcohol. Tea and coffee can be taken from the bar and only plastic cups can be brought to the room. Room was 111 near reception. On the wall near the reception desk with information in Russian, bus schedules. The furniture in the room is new. double bed single bed, sofa, LCD TV, balcony with table and chairs. Plumbing is new. Bed linen and towels were changed every day. One of the women who cleaned the room spoke good Russian. In front of the hotel there is a bus stop from which you can go to Lindos, Rhodes and other places. Price 3.5 euros to Rhodes. We drove a rented car, took it to Alfa Beach on our own rights. The price is 50 euros for two days, three days is even cheaper. The tour operator's cars are more expensive. You can still take in other points, maybe even cheaper to find. There are many cars to choose from. We took the Hyundai Getz. We went to Lindos, to neighboring beaches, to the mountain with the Cross. From Rhodes to the Old Town by bus. Entrance to the acropolis in Lindos, in the Old City and in Filerimos is about 6 euros. For children, admission is free and travel on the bus is free. There are many temples nearby, seven springs, butterflies. In the temple, you can light candles, just leave money, you can write little notes in Latin. you can take oil. The church is very beautiful. Oriented according to the signs on the road. There are maps in free booklets, but they are not convenient to use. We had dinner at the Steak Grill tavern on Eucalyptus Street. We prepared everything in 20 minutes. Seafood mix (15 euros) and pasta with seafood (8 euros). Everything is delicious and the portions are big. There are a lot of souvenir shops. In each cafe you can use the toilet free of charge. Prices for souvenirs do not bite, the choice is large. For swimming, you can buy aquasax for 4.5-5 euros. Entrance to the sea on the beach of Kolymbia sand with pebbles. You can swim in the sea with a mask. I counted 6 types of fish. Fish swim near large stones 10-15 meters from the beach. On the coast there are two points with marine entertainment: catamarans, canoes, sailboats, parachutes, jet skis. The sunbeds are paid, but we never used them, we sunbathed around the pool, and swam in the sea. There is sand on the nearby Tzambika beach. There are changing rooms. I didn’t notice the toilet on the Columbia beach, there is one in Lindos. There are showers everywhere on the beaches. The sun is not very active, we did not burn out. Funds were practically not used. The island is constantly windy. Sky without clouds. In general, I liked Rhodes, I still want to go to the mainland in Greece. Maybe a review would be helpful. They took a large first aid kit for the child, but nothing was needed.

The hotel is small and very cozy. Pleasant courtyard with a swimming pool, gazebos and picturesque vegetation. Without animators and other entertainment, for this it was necessary to go either to neighboring hotels or to the center of Kolymbia, life was in full swing there. The room was cleaned daily for us, the towels were changed, even if we didn’t touch some of them, the floors were wiped.

In the same Alfa beach in the evenings there were programs for children and adults, quite good for themselves, just in German : ) The beach is excellent! They charged for sunbeds only until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after dinner you could use them for free : ) The food at the hotel was also very pleasant, tasty and varied.

We traveled to Rhodes from June 19 to July 3.2011. Alfa is a small, cozy hotel for a quiet family vacation. I'll start with some inaccuracies in the description - the hotel is not located on the first line, you need to walk 5 minutes to the beach across the road and another hotel. The rooms are tiny but comfortable, you had to pay for air conditioning.

I'll start with some inaccuracies in the description - the hotel is not located on the first line, you need to walk 5 minutes to the beach across the road and another hotel. The rooms are tiny but comfortable, you had to pay for air conditioning. The view of the mountains is actually a view of the parking lot and the garbage heap. The service staff is very friendly, although no one speaks Russian, but everyone understood my broken English, especially the Slovak students working in the bar. The food was just amazing, of course some were expecting a buffet the size of a stadium, but the hotel has 61 rooms. The food was varied, they gave various types of meat, vegetables, desserts. From drinks, red and white wine, beer, liqueurs, rum gin, metaxa - almost the entire range of local production, which the bartenders mixed and prepared very beautiful cocktails.
The hotel area is small but beautiful. From the side of the pool, you can see the mountain where the Tsambika monastery is located. The pool is beautifully designed and has a small slide for the kids.
There was no animation at the hotel, although it seems that we could use many entertainments at the Alfa beach hotel, which is located across the road, but what to use and how we did not understand, we were very unlucky with the guide Aslan, who was always late for 20 minutes for meeting with us, the date and time of this meeting always turned out to be a mystery to us, because there was one thing in the schedule, but in fact Aslan did not have time to change the schedule (he always had time to eat at the hotel).
In general, we were not lucky with the host le grand. We saw how they work with vacationers from other countries, how they are shown the hotel, they tell everything, they escort them to their rooms - this is not accepted in le grand, turn around as you like. Aslan had prepared answers to any question: I don’t know, but should I?
I don't have much time, I need to go to another hotel. This is the first time we have encountered such unprofessionalism. Once I asked him to ask him about extending the room on the day of departure, my knowledge of English, I was afraid that it would not be enough, so he did not reach the reception 2 steps, said that this should be done the day before and fled. As a result, I came up on the eve of departure and I was refused an extension, because this would have to be done in advance. If it were not for the compassionate Muscovites who let my two-year-old child sleep for several hours during the day, then we would sit in the heat. By the way, on the day of departure, after check-out from the room, you can have lunch, use the bar, swimming pool.
Some from morning to evening spent in the hotel by the pool. We were active. We rented a car and drove around the island. The nature is simply magnificent, the beaches, starting from the bay located near the hotel, one is better than the other, everywhere you will find a shower.
Most of all I liked the beach in Tsambika, it is sandy and clean. There is a daily bus from the hotel in the morning and evening. From the hotel within a radius of 5 km there are two attractions of the island - Upper and lower Tsambika and 7 springs. Strong young and beautiful people could walk there, it was difficult for us with a child, so we drove by car. We rented a car for the first time for 60 euros for 3 days (subcompact) at the Alfa beach hotel, it was the cheapest, then their prices went up. We went to Lindos, Rhodes, to the valley of butterflies, to the monastery of Michael the Archangel in Laerma. Park more carefully, ask your guide how to do it in Rhodes. our Aslan had no time to work with us, so we paid 20 euros for parking without understanding exactly what we did wrong.
the island is wonderful, the people are friendly, friendly, they will vying to explain the way, they will be grateful only for the fact that you went to their store and praised the products. I would recommend the hotel for a family holiday with a small child

At first, mosquitoes bothered us, because of them we paid extra for air conditioning, this solved the problem with mosquitoes. The room was cleaned every day, floors were wiped, towels were changed. At the bar, you could pour water with you to the beach or overnight in the room.

The food is delicious, lots of fruits and vegetables. For children there is a small playground, a children's pool.

Just returned (tour operator - Labyrinth, there were no problems). The hotel is clean, quiet, for a relaxing holiday. The staff is polite. View from the rooms to the pool and the road (you can't call it a garden). The food is VERY tasty. The rooms are not cleaned (only for an additional fee), but only change towels (every day) and bed linen (every 4 or 5 days), and take out the trash.

Children (3-7 years old) will be bored, because. there is no animation of its own, it is in the hotel opposite Alfa Beach 4 *, but it is in German. The beach is variegated pebbles, the sea is clean, the beach is free, sun loungers on the beach are 3 euros per place under an umbrella. The location of the hotel is good. In general, I liked the rest. The price matches the quality.
