The Hotel is well presented and situated outside Faliraki and only a 15-20 minute walk to the Marina, so it's quiet and relaxing. There is a supermarket about five minutes walk away, two Sports Bars (Thomas's) a bit further away if you want televised sport and an excellent bakery (Sarikas Patisserie) close by on the way to the Harbour and beach. The Hotel is kept very clean throughout and the staff always very helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them .They all worked very well together as a team to deliver a relaxing experience. The guests for our stay were mixed age groups and nationalities and this worked well. It's a great place to decompress, the pool area has sufficient loungers, seats, four poster beds and a jacuzzi as well as the pool , none are heated but that's not a bad thing. We had two nights entertainment, a Greek evening including a band and dancers, and a solo saxophone/clarinet player. Both acts were excellent musicians. Another night's entertainment was cancelled due to rain. We were half board the food is well presented, lots of it, and the quality good, delivered quickly by staff who were always on point. The only thing I'd ask for is coffee machine at breakfast was a bit tired, would it be possible to serve coffee at the table ? The hotel offers tours, to Lindos which is an excellent place to visit, with a wonderful cove at St Pauls Bay and an Acropolis overlooking the town, entry is 12 Euros but its worth it) There are lots of good places to eat. .I'd get the public bus to Lindos they keep a timetable at reception, or do the organised tour as a night trip. The Lindos day trip advertised at the hotel includes the Seven Springs, which I wouldn't recommend as there is a distinct lack of water and lots of obstacles to get the top springs. Its easy to catch the local bus (number 24, timetable at reception) to Rhodes Old Town (cost 5 Euros return) and explore it yourself. The Tourist information centre is by the docks a long way from the public bus station. Its a real maze of streets bars and shops within the city walls. Boat trips are available from Falaraki Harbour that visit two or three coves with snorkelling, drinks and food all options. We didn't, but spoke to several guests who did. There are so many boats in the harbour they will even do bespoke dusk tours if that's what you want. We also went to Symi a beautiful island about a 75 minute boat trip from Rhodes which included a trip to the cove at Paramitis to visit the monastery and see two resident turtles in the harbour. We hired a motorbike and a Quad bike from City Club (Faliraki) through the Hotel, they come and collect you and drop you back to the hotel. Its a great way of exploring the Western side of the island which has spectacular scenery and sparsely populated with little traffic. From the hotel staff, I'd like to thank Georgia and Aggeliki on reception for answering all my many questions about the island, Krallis the res
