Leonardo Kolymbia Resort Rhodes

My wife and I once again spent a relaxing week at this first class resort. All the staff without exception are wonderful, hard working, thoughtful, attentive, friendly and a thoroughly professional collective. Whilst it is impossible to please all guests we found the restaurant offered a varied selection of quality fayre that was well prepared and well presented. The individual plated fresh and crispy items on the salad bar enabled you to put together a selection of just what you wanted rather than having to pick out what you may not like. The desserts were plentiful as was the choice of ice cream complimented with a selection of fresh fruit. Breakfast was a joy due to the lovely lady always smiling as she tirelessly prepared fresh omelettes. When considered as a whole the combination of positive factors on offer at this 5 star Greek establishment are just superb. Looking at some of the reviews a few negative aspects have been documented. It is just a shame that the persons affected did not raise their concerns with the staff as where possible everything that could be done would have been to resolve their issues. If staff and management are not made aware of niggles the opportunity to fix and improve the experience for all is just lost. The owners and management are aware that some of the rooms are a little tired but upgrades both in and around the hotel are on the horizon. Would not hesitate to return and shall look forward to our next visit as the minor negatives far outweigh the overwhelming number of positives. Thank you All.

This hotel was really nice. We were upgraded to the swim up pool room which was rather nice. The only downside is unfortunately the sun is not on it for long. We did use the pool though because we like the cold water and it was a definately colder than the main pool. The main pool was so nice and rhe beds are comfy. Even in October 24/25 degrees it was hot and you wouod need to cool off in the pool. They had walk in steps to the pool as well as the climb down steps. The entertainment by Alan was great (he said he was from Poland) he would give a ten minute warning for water polo, football, beach volley ball, boules, tennis and ping ping etc and he worked hard day and night with the entertainment. It was good fun actually and the other guests were all so nice that we met and chatted to while participating in games. Also don't miss quiz night it was brilliant. The staff were so friendly and chatty and you can get prosecco which was rather good and lots of different cocktails. Certain brands you would need to pay for. The amaretto was nice so I wasn't bothered it wasn't Dissorano. If you want to drink past midnight you have to pay to upgrade the wrist band from what I heard. I also discovered the lemon slushy from the pool was nice with tequila in it. That was a suggestion made to me by Sakis who worked the pool bar. He was so lovely and was trying to help me pronouncing the greek words I was trying to use. The food was great, I haven't been happy with all inclusive in the past due to the food. I couldnt fault the food. There is lots of choice. Lots of pork, but also chicken, beef, fish and vegetable dishes. I liked the fact they had a lower counter so kids could help themselves to spaghetti bolognaise or the other dishes that children might prefer to eat. The only suggestion is to have the ham and cheese slices that are out at breakfast and have those out at lunchtime as well so that they can be added to salad. Also keep the toastie machine out at lunch for toastie sandwiches. The rooms were nice enough but maybe could do with a bit of an update but the beds were very comfortable. Also the towels are not very big so I used a pool towel instead because it was much bigger. I like large shower towels so they could do with providing bigger towels. The beach is close by you walk out the back of the hotel and not to the marina part but the road heading to the right ish and your there in 5 minutes. Apparently they will golf buggy you there if you want to. I would recommend this hotel. I am not sure about when it's very busy in the summer and queuing for drinks but October there was hardly a queue.

We was at Leonardo for 4 nights.. the hotel is small and nice.. The room for us was OK.. the food at the restaurant so nice! Many thanks to Elena for our omelets at the breakfast.. the pool it was no full so we always had somewhere to sit.. George and Pavlos at the bar always busy nice guys.. last the reception staff 24/7 there for us. Irene very helpful, Tsampika smiling all the time and Kiki very friendly.

If you are expecting 5 star then think again! It’s a shame that it is rated this high as expectations are set very high even before you arrive. However what you will have is a very very clean modern hotel with friendly staff and good amenities. The food is good although a bit repetitive and the meat dishes at times a bit fatty and tough, the puddings are lush! The restaurant is spotless clean and the staff work very hard to clear tables and wipe surfaces once somebody has left. The chap at the pool was so lovely forgive me I can’t recall his name now he was 5 star!! The two characters however who did the bar in the evening were not, they were rude and abrupt that’s even if they decided you were worth serving. I understand a little Greek and they should be aware of this when they are making comments to each other. They were very unprofessional and need talking too The hotel is perfectly situated to visit Rhodes old town and Lindos both easy to get to by the buses. The pool area is great and again very clean and plenty of sun beds day time activities is you wanted to join in. There are 3 beaches very very close to the hotel which are lovely two are a little stoney so beach shoes maybe needed. The cove where the boat trips leave from is Sandy with a beach bar serving food and drinks. TOP TIP! The sun beds to the left towards the end are free for the hotel we didn’t realise this until our last day! There is no mention of it anywhere at the hotel and having spent 60 euros on sunbeds over the week we were a little p$$$$d off to say the least! We really enjoyed our stay apart the ****** at the bar! The staff work very hard to make sure everything is as good as it can be and if anything is needed then it is attended to very quickly. We may well return in the future
