We had breakfasts and dinners included, the food was wonderful. You can find something delicious to eat no matter if you are a vegetarian or a meat-eater. I am very contented with the clean kitchen and dining room. Once I was out at around 10 pm and saw staff polishing the floors and the counters. Everything is sparkling clean, looks like the people, ALL people, who work there, do the best they can to suit every customer's needs.
The location of the place is very close to the seaside. My kids are small but we never took a baby-stroller with us - that's how close it was, around 100 meters away. The beach is nice and clean, so is the sea.
The room service works well, everybody is exceptionally nice to you.
On our last day I asked for a late check-out time and received a positive answer. My kids sleep from 12 to 2 pm or even 2:30, and the managers let us have this (priceless for a mom) afternoon nap.
The managers gave us an invoice for my husband's job on our last day. We have traveled and lived in many places, USA, Russia, Czech Republic, Austria, UK, Spain, Italy, Cambodia, Egypt, Thailand, Malaysia, China but this is the friendliest hotel I have ever stayed in! I am very satisfied and really grateful to people who work there and perform their work exceptionally well. Honestly, if all jobs we did the same way, we would live in a different world.
If you opt for Romantza Mare, you are guaranteed to have an unforgettable and peaceful vacation!
We settled in room 503 of the "new" building, with an individual veranda.
Breakfast is the same every day. Yes, you will not be hungry, but you will not get any pleasure either. In general, you can have breakfast with muesli with pastries (donut or puff). From fruits - CANNED peaches. From juices - powdered.
Dinners - a la the Soviet dining room. Well, it just doesn't taste good. Of fruits - only watermelon. Enjoy. If you manage to snatch a piece with the pulp of a watermelon. If you do not have all inclusive, then tea bags (!!! ) for dinner will cost you 2 euros! But you can drink water. It's free. Or order wine in a mini bottle (for two glasses) for 4 euros - young and disgustingly sour. The air conditioner can't cope, everyone is sitting sweaty. There is no air conditioning in the hall near the dining room, not even a fan. And if you arrive before check-in starts, you will have to sit in this sauna. Check out at 12. We wanted to extend for 2 hours, we were offered to pay 25 euros for this!!!!!
But if you can still argue about tastes in food, then cleaning the room is something with something. The whole point of cleaning is taking out the trash. A towel thrown on the floor was taken away and a replacement was given. A shower cabin with a terrifying curtain with someone else's hair, water pours from the cabin onto the floor, because. very small rims. The soap dispenser is torn off the wall (!!! ) and lies on the sink, all the soap from it spreads beautifully. There is a hair dryer. Rylno soap took their own. The air conditioner turned on upon arrival, but did not cool. The receptionist reported this to Tatiana (Russian, very arrogant and didn't even try to be friendly). She said without a shadow of embarrassment that he also did not work for previous tenants. Closer to the night in our absence, apparently, the house master came and fixed it. A/C only worked at 18 degrees. Naturally, it got cold in the middle of the night. For two (separate beds) 1 blanket.
They made a remark about the lack of cleaning (by the way, the tip was left regularly from the 1st day). With a stone face, Tatyana translated into Greek our claim to the male Greek who was at that moment. Apparently a manager. He didn’t introduce himself, didn’t speak English, and didn’t deign to look at me at all. The next day, the floors were somehow washed and a pile of towels was thrown and even the linen was changed, which, upon arrival, did not look very fresh. At first I was glad, but then....Dear mother! all towels with yellow and black stains, washed to holes, but never washed. On the pillowcase TRACE FROM SHOE!! ! I knitted it all in a pile and carried it to the reception. The situation with Tatyana, the Greek manager and "I'm sorry" repeated through gritted teeth. They brought new linen and towels of a grayish color, with holes, but, thank you, no traces of shoes.
There is animation for children in a mixture of English and, apparently, Slovak. Two students will dance with your children. In the pool bar, squalor is wild, wobbly tables and a huge trash can right at the bar in full view of everyone, crowds of ants crawl on the bar and flies fly.
There is no beach. It is simply impossible to take a sunbed. Guests of neighboring hotels that own the beach throw their things on the sunbed at 4 in the morning and leave, as a result, there are only dead souls on the beach. the sunbed is occupied, but there is no one on it.
Of course, you can endlessly try to ignore all this and enjoy your vacation, but this shameful trio is not worth the money. And Tatyana at the reception, apparently, really wants to work in the 5-ke, but they don’t take it, so she meets guests with such a face.
from the pros - right behind the new building there is a tavern with free wi-fi, a very nice waitress and delicious food. There is a market behind the tavern. Prices there are no more than in other places, you can buy safely. Stop there. Don't wait for the bus. We took a taxi to Rhodes. There 13 euros (call the reception), back 10 euros from the parking lot.
all in all, have a great holiday. but not in this hotel.
PS: I would like to single out the work of the hotel guide from TezTour - Alena. Appeared ONLY once, a dying swan, can't offer anything, barely speaks. Very rude and not customer oriented. She let us down a lot, did not pick up the phone, did not call back. But I will write about this directly to TezTour.
excursion guide Galina - thanks to her. She worked for 5.
Family hotel, calm, cozy, quiet. Ideal for families with children. There is no animation. For animation, you can go to a nearby hotel, but it is not impressive, European humor. The island itself is very beautiful, feel free to rent a car, which we did and explore all the corners yourself. It will be much more profitable than excursions. Have a nice rest)
We rested on Rhodes with my family from May 12 to May 19.2013. I really liked the island itself. We rented a car for 3 days (for only 60 euros + 35 petrol). Traveled all that interested.
The hotel is like a solid three for me (I would even give 4). at least in Egypt, we lived in 4-ke in worse conditions. The food was also excellent and very tasty. The guide (Vera) is very pleasant and unobtrusive. Helped and advised on all issues. Almost always was in place at the hotel.
The only negative sea in May is still cold (20-22). So don't buy too much
Compliance of price and quality. Kindness, hospitality of staff. Cozy rooms with normal furniture, TV, mini-bar, autonomous air conditioning. Well maintained, beautiful area. Although not very diverse, but very tasty food. Not annoying and remoteness from the sea, just a walk of 3-5 minutes.
Disadvantages:
Small. . , but they are nothing, with the positive that we received!
Review:
How sorry we are to part with you:
Sea, Rhodes and "Romantza" our hotel,
Still in the memories we will plunge for a long time,
After all, it will be difficult to forget them now!
Hospitality, warmth, excellent food, -
What else do you need to feel comfortable? !
Flowers, surrounding places of charm,
And you know, the best vacation is here!
Of course - this is very loudly said! I agree! After all, they themselves rested in hotels in many countries and prettier, and even, not like this. But these "poems" are those of our emotions that we received from the rest in this hotel, and in general, from Rhodes, from Greece.
Special, human thanks to our guides from "Belion tour" Irina and Sofia, who were always present at the hotel, and always came to the rescue and kindly gave advice! ! !
At the time of our arrival, the hotel was mostly Russians, Ukrainians, Slovaks and Germans. The former made up the vast majority. Some of the hotel staff are our former fellow citizens, so no one had any problems. Many thanks to Julia for organizing our meals; Galina, who kindly explained everything.
Of course, you should not forget that this is 3 *! . . But comparing, you understand that the number was not even bad, better than many Italian 4-rooms. There were, of course, small minuses, such as the presence of only one socket in the whole room: the phones had to be charged in turn, not to mention the video camera, and the laptop, but these are such trifles that they have almost been forgotten - they remained pleasant, good memories! . .
If you are thinking about which hotel to choose among this category, and if you understand that 3 * is not 5, we are sure / if you are in a good mood and do not get upset over trifles / - you will really like this hotel!
Resting in different countries of the world in different hotels, I never knew the owners of the hotels and it never occurred to me that they exist... Everything is different in Romanza Mare! In the morning you meet the owner of the hotel, Mr. Stelios, he will always wish you good morning, he is always friendly and benevolent, if there are any problems, he will help! Our key broke, he called a locksmith and, in order not to wait a long time, he helped us, opened the door, gave a second key. And so in everything! A man with a capital letter!
If you want a quiet relaxing holiday - this hotel is for you.
We rented a car, visited all the excursions ourselves. I recommend the old town of Rhodes, the kiss of two seas, seven springs, Lindos. Butterfly Valley is beautiful and the road to it is picturesque, but the butterflies themselves disappointed (there is nothing to see there, some kind of moths).
Pleasantly surprised by the hotel upon check out. The flight was in the evening, the room was vacated at 12-00, but they fed us both lunch and dinner. They give you the key to the room where you can take a shower and change clothes.
Before that, they were in Turkey, Egypt, Greece on the mainland in 4-5 stars, but this hotel is the only one where you want to return!
