We are writing in hot pursuit, just arrived from vacation. Rested in Rhodes from 03 to 17 June, my family, my husband and two sons five and eleven years old.
Immediately I write everything very much, the rest is super! I liked Greece itself, Rhodes and the Greeks. Before that, we have been to Antalya many times, in very good five-star hotels.
The island is very beautiful, the sea is clear as a tear, the beaches are wide, the air is such that the first days after Moscow went a little like drunk. Apparently the excess of oxygen made itself felt. The Greeks themselves are friendly, helpful, they treat us very well, but a little unhurried. Rhodes is small and very picturesque, there is something to see. You can drive around the island by car, renting at a hotel from 25 euros per day. You can take the bus to the bus stop from the hotel to go ten minutes.
We took group tours of Old and New Rhodes and a mini-tour of the Orthodox mysteries of Rhodes. I liked it very much, no regrets. Now for the hotel. We were very worried about the beach, we read negative reviews before the trip. The beach is great! A minute from the sea, a little away from the hotel - white sand and no stones, shallow, like a cove, ideal for children. All umbrellas and sun loungers are free, but it is better to borrow them in the morning. Beach towels are also free, change as many as you want as needed. Our room was not very large, without a balcony but with its own terrace on the first floor overlooking the pool. My husband took a dip in the morning, we did not use the pool. The furniture is pretty decent, everything is clean, refrigerator, plasma TV, a lot of our channels, a very spacious bath, new plumbing and a good hair dryer. Cleaned daily, linen was changed every other day. In my opinion, they cleaned very well, sometimes we left a tip of 1 euro. on the terrace there is a table and chairs, you can sit in the evening with a glass and fruit.
Of the main advantages of the hotel are food and service. We fed just for slaughter, fruits of all kinds and peaches and watermelons, melons, kiwis, oranges, grapes, apples and others. A large selection of meat - turkey, lamb, beef, fish, chicken. Everything is very tasty. For lunch, there are always delicious soups, ten kinds of salads and a lot of greens and vegetables. Big respect to the chef!
Twice went to a la carte restaurants in Greek and Italian. I liked Greek. The hotel has a spa, but massages and body wraps are chargeable. There is also a clean indoor pool. There is a good room with exercise equipment, but this is not our topic)). The animation is not bad, there is a kids club, every day a warm-up and water aerobics. Show in the evening.
We give the hotel a solid five, the only room you need to take is more. but we were almost never there, only slept, so there was no particular inconvenience.
The first thing I want to note is a very dirty dining room. (The language does not turn to call it a restaurant). Products an hour after the opening of the dining room very often ran out. Vacationers on this topic are constantly outraged. We heard about this story on the first day of our arrival and then it all happened in our presence. They steal from the rooms. Of course - no one compensates. Homeless dogs and cats walk around the hotels. The bed was not changed once in a week.
The attendants are blacks, Pakistanis. Those notorious "migrants" today.
The contingent - Russians, Belarusians, Poles, Ukrainians...
Probably the staff and the boss of the hotel believes that we should be happy about this.
I just wanted to visit Rhodes again.
In general, the hotel and the island did not disappoint, but the sea is simply amazing. And there is something to see.
We were immediately given a very nice room with a balcony. There is a bath, separate shower, hair dryer, TV.
Two pools. The bar has a large selection of drinks.
A small minus - a bad entrance to the input - pebbles, but if you go a little to the left, there will be a wonderful sandy beach.
And a strong wind from the sea, but not hot!
