We have just returned from a week at this beautiful hotel. It was a friendly, family run hotel. We were made to feel welcome and that nothing was too much trouble by the owners. On the night we arrived we had just missed dinner, however, we were offered a salad which we gratefully accepted after a long journey. What came out was a feast of salad, stew, vegetables and bread. We were full of delicious food and about ready to get to bed when two big plates of fresh watermelon was offered. The family were so kind and the hotel beautiful. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. The food all week was delicious and the setting was perfect. We couldn’t fault a single thing and it exceeded our expectations. We felt that our comfort and satisfaction was their priority. The owners were helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful holiday. Even offering us lifts to the local beach. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a little slice of paradise.

If you dislike the tourist crowds of Faliraki and the hectic pace of Rhodes City, this is the place for you. Saint George is located a 40-minute drive from the city (30 minutes from the airport) on the outskirts of Archangelos, one of the larger villages on Rhodes. It’s just off the north-south main road, so you might hear some traffic noise, but not enough to be bothersome. You will need a car when you stay here. The hotel offers a pick-up service, but you can get dirt-cheap car rental deals at the airport. The center of Archangelos is within a 10-15 minute walk, but to get to the beaches of Stegna (highly recommended) or other seafronts, you will need a car. Yes, there are buses, but they tend to be full. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the rooms have been recently refurbished. The bathrooms could use an upgrade as well, mostly because of the tile colors and overall 70s look, but they are clean and pleasant. The Greeks do not use shower curtains, so the floor may get wet when you take a shower, but there is a drain on the floor, and it dries up quickly. Not a dealbreaker. I stayed alone in a double room, and the room was on the small side. I can imagine it being a bit cramped for two people, as the space between the bed and the table/refrigerator unit was no more than 50 cm. However, there is ample room for your clothes and even your suitcases in the generously spaced closets. The balcony was also small, but otherwise nice. Breakfast was good! A nice selection of eggs, bread, ham, vegetables, and even some canned fruit—my favorite. The coffee was also of good quality. There is a large dining room, but you’ll want to sit outside for your meal. The pool area is well-suited for breakfast, with the ubiquitous cats begging for food. The real asset of this place is the pool and the area around it. Strangely enough, it is barely used by the guests. Some days I spent hours as the only guest there, even though the manager told me the hotel was fully booked. I can understand wanting to go to the marvelous beaches nearby, but still, no fighting over the sun chairs :) The pool is big and clean, the sun chairs are in good condition, and you can find shade under the umbrellas. The poolside bar is not open for service, so you have to bring your own drinks. However, there is a fridge in the room and a supermarket 500 meters north of the hotel, so no problem there. All in all, a very nice experience. I give it 4 out of 5, mainly because of the small room, but if you enjoy a tranquil resort and the peace and quiet of the Greek countryside, this is for you. You should also be okay with being woken at dawn by the rooster next door. I had to buy earplugs to get some sleep during the first few nights, but you'll get used to it—and actually, it's quite charming. Recommended!
