Electra Palace Rhodes - Premium All Inclusive

Long review⭐️ We were here for 2 weeks in October. Family of 9 with 4 rooms. Hotel We arrived and one of our rooms weren’t ready but they told us to get a drink at the pool bar - which we did - amazing! Sunbeds - easy to come by (reminder we were in October) - we were heading down at 10ish and managing to get the comfy beds (defo recommend for naps). There are also lots of sunbeds and beanbags. The beach area has beds and there are always some available. There is also a jacuzzi there. Our guys played darts during the day and the girl that organised it was superb - she was really encouraging and remembered them by name. Bars All the bars serve different cocktails (some of the staff will make you anything you ask for though). It makes a difference having it in a nice glass! The entertainment at night is fab and different every night! *** Billy at the bar outside the restaurant is fab - he loves when you request a cocktail. Only issue we had was if one person went to the bar they wouldn’t give us a tray for drinks so it was sometimes a 2 trip job. Food The restaurant isn’t huge. It always has a variety of food - there wasn’t a bad meal had between us all. Breakfast was great too - omelettes made to order. Lunch was always gyros with a variety of other options. Seen people complaining the food wasn’t hot - we never had this issue.. The Italian is a stand out - you can go here every day for lunch - they do pizzas, pastas and salads - everything is delicious and served fresh. The hotel states you have to book in for the Italian at night and you can only book once per week - there was a guy in front of us booking in for every day so not sure how strict they are. The Italian is included in the all inclusive and you should 100% give it a visit. Some members of our group tried the Greek restaurant- defo worth a visit if you go. There is a bakery available all day - serves coffee, smoothies and a massive assortment of pastries. There is an ice cream place - you can get cones and tubs all day. All included in the all inclusive. Room Rooms were clean and you have the option to tell the cleaners not to bother if you don’t need it. Towels are replaced when you need it. Fridge in the room is replenished with cans and water. Surrounding area Rainbow bar - directly across from the hotel. The staff are lovely and they will play any sport you want. The food and drinks are fab here. 10/15 minute walk away is a small ***** with restaurants and bars. Points to note The hotel is on a flight path so there are planes passing all the time - it affects your conversation for 10 seconds. Not a big deal at all. The music around the pool bar is loud - it can sometimes be too much. If you prefer it quiet then better to sit at the beach bar. The pools are very cold - it’s refreshing in the 28 degree heat in October but takes your breath away! We slept late so sometimes it was a bit loud with the cleaners moving beds etc - don’t be lazy like us! ** compliments to t

Stunning hotel. The food was amazing as were the cocktails. We would highly recommend anyone to stop at this hotel. The only reason we did not give it five stars was the fact that most of the staff looked like they were chewing wasps. This was mainly the pool bar staff and the bakery staff. Not sure if it was just because it was end of season and they had had enough or another reason. In the hole, I would recommend this resort to couples or groups of adults. It's not what I would class as a kid friendly family resort... but that's fine with us, we didn't take the kids.
