Ok, so this is our 9 or 10th return to Rhodes. We were a bit dubious about what the hotel would be like due to how reasonable it was for what we booked. It was great!! From arrival, we were treated with a lovely welcome. The lady chcejd us in quickly, and a lovely porter took us up in the little glass lift thingy to our room. ROOM We had a large room. Clean and everything we needed for our stay. Fridge (with 4 bottles of water on arrival ) Huge balcony Large toilet (Our appeared to be a disability room) grab handles, wide sink, etc. The rooms were clean Cleaners arrived at 10 am daily and were lovely. Beach towels provided. Plenty sockets around the room. Hairdryer wouldn't blow away a leaf, but that's ok. Wasn't expecting much . Small essential toiletries were provided. In all the years we've been to greece, we've remarked on how we saw not one spider. We did have more than nirmal in our room. They weren't big at all. it was just an observation. FOOD The food was ok. There's plenty to choose from, albeit a weird mix . Beautiful pastries, etc . Ourdoor and indoor dining. We didn't experience a bad sewer smell like other reviews. Having been in this area last year, we knew it was coming from a nearby stagnant pool. Not the hotel. 99% of the staff were friendly and very helpful. DRINK A wee bit disappointed with what we could get with our all-inclusive package . . Everything we liked wasn't included with our band. So, there are pretty much very local wines, etc. We had to buy water at the local supermarket which was mych cheaper than buying the small bottles in the hotel THE BEACH we stupidly thought that the private beach meant that the sunbeds would be free. They were 15 euros per day to hire. As we don't like the pool, we did pay. If you have booked one of the posher rooms these are free. So make sure you read the small print. POOLS 2 pools, but as I said, we didn't use them, so I can't comment. Did notice they open at 10 am and was a small queue to get in and get a sunbed. There seemed plenty of them, though. GETTING AROUND We used the taxi rank nearby which does have set prices to places on the board. However, this wasnt the case . We were always charged extra despite saying that it clearly says on the board. So this need updated . We took the speed boat from the beach to Rhodes town for 40 euros each return. Took about 50 mins and was fantastic. Be careful though. The return time said clearly 17.30 and it left 5 mins early coming back. All in all we had the most amazing time and would return but save for the upgrade to the posh levels .
