Всё не плохо Everything is not bad

Before a trip to Rhodes, this hotel was chosen by chance, the budget of a friend was limited, so they picked it up precisely for the price and proximity to the beach. There were not enough reviews about Lomeniz 3 *, so I promised myself that I would write here immediately upon arrival, but it’s one thing to promise, it’s another thing to keep promises)) Well, all the same, three weeks later, my hands reached writing a review. I am not a picky tourist, but there is something to compare with, I have visited no less than 10 countries in Europe. It was the first time in Greece. I will say right away that I was very biased towards this country, such as a crisis, lazy people, mediocre hotels, etc. , in general, I invented quite a lot of not very good things for myself. This is how it happens that when you do not expect a lot, then everything turns out to be enough and not bad in the end.
And so: a 3-star hotel, do not expect that for the money you pay for this level of hotel, you will be provided with a luxury service) quite a normal hotel, spacious rooms, no extra charge, but at our request we got a room on the 3rd floor with pool and sea views. Cleaning was normal, it was not dirty, towels were changed every day, air conditioning worked on time, as it was stated. The food is normal, we took only breakfasts, monotonous, but everything is edible, you can eat : ) There is a pool, not huge, but since no one swam in it, there is enough space for lovers) The beach is a minute from the hotel, across the road. The beach is huge, there are few people there, no one is lying on each other's heads! ! ! it was very important to us! The beach is dirty, it was annoying, but it didn’t interfere) the sea is clean, for 7 days of rest there was no storm, no waves, no jellyfish, a complete buzz! ! I couldn't bring myself to get out of the water.
From the early morning on the beach, mostly local Greeks, mostly elderly, but very funny and active, they did not sunbathe, they came just to swim. I was interested in watching them, very positive people. The beach is not panoramic, that is, I didn’t want to take pictures there, but it’s quite comfortable for relaxation. To take beautiful photos, to see the most beautiful bays, I highly recommend a sea excursion. It is sold both in the hotel and in the city, mainly on the embankment in the port of Mandraki. We bought this kind of excursion at the reception for 39 euros / person, a full day excursion, from 9 am to 18.00, in the cost of a transfer to the port and back, as well as lunch on board : ) a whole day of relaxation, dozens of beautiful photos and a million positive emotions : )


It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the Old Town, although the first three days we went around like suckers for 50 minutes) but the priests let us down, everything has its advantages) The fact that the Old Town is in the immediate vicinity of the hotel is a big plus of the hotel.
We went there twice a day for a walk, very beautiful, colorful, medieval walls surround the world of souvenir shops and many taverns. We liked the Greek cuisine very much, it is tasty, in moderation of spices, a lot of vegetables. Prices in taverns are moderate, but someone wrote that you can have dinner for 10 euros, this is certainly not true) Salad + hot dish + beer or wine is about 20 euros, delicious fish 15-20 euros per serving)

You definitely need to go to Lindos, it makes no sense to take an excursion, the bus goes there once an hour, 5 euros one way ticket. The view from the top of the Acropolis of Lindos is simply awesome, watch Mia Fomin's video "Everything will be fine" and you will understand everything yourself : ) There are a lot of donkeys in Lindos, white Greek houses and other colors. Everything is very beautiful, though climbing in the heat, even in June at least 38 degrees is a little hard, but believe me, all these efforts are worth it! ! Going to Greece to stay in a hotel is a big sin.
Of course, I recommend companies and families to rent a car, for example, a pretty Peugeot for 3 days costs 110 euros + gasoline, but you can drive around the island up and down, since the coastline of Rhodes is 250 km.

In general, it's time to turn around. My conclusion: the hotel has its pros and cons. For me, the downside is that the hotel does not have a territory, but around the entire medieval city of Rhodes, make it your territory, walk, explore, enjoy! If you are not "turned" on the status of the hotel, then Lomeniz 3* is for you : ) Have a good rest!
