Olympic Palace Hotel

All round convenient and good quality. Good transport links and local restaurants. Lovely spa

Our 5-day stay at this hotel was the epitome of peace and tranquility. The hotel was immaculately clean, and all facilities were well-maintained. Its location is conveniently close to both Rhodes Town and the Old Town, with only a short 10-15 minute bus ride needed to reach either destination. We found the bus service to be very efficient and easy to use, which made exploring the area a breeze. The highlights of our stay included the spacious facilities, the rooftop bar with its stunning views of the island and sunset, and the incredibly relaxing spa. The rooftop bar quickly became our favorite spot for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. The panoramic views were truly breathtaking, and the sunsets were unforgettable. We particularly enjoyed the indoor pool, with its perfectly comfortable temperature, and the saunas, which were pleasantly uncrowded during our April visit. It was the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate. The hotel's beachfront offered a wonderful space to soak up the sun or simply enjoy the breathtaking views, especially in the evening. We spent many evenings strolling along the beach and taking in the beautiful scenery. A special mention must go to the Brazilian receptionist with the red hair (whose name I unfortunately forget!), who truly made our trip exceptional. Her 10/10 service and helpful information on local attractions and travel made our stay so much more enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and her recommendations were spot on. The only downside was upon arrival at the hotel we were not able to get into our room till almost 4/4.30pm. This is quite annoying as we arrived at 1pm and was told check in is 3pm. Yet we had to wait over an hour extra with no compensation. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway with easy access to Rhodes Town and Old Town. The combination of the hotel's serene atmosphere, convenient location, excellent facilities, and outstanding service made for a truly memorable experience. We can't wait to return!

Positives: Food - Hotel has great food options for families on all inclusive. There is food available all day except for 30 minutes so plenty of choice and options Location - on the seafront and close to Rhodes Old Town (15 min taxi journey). Private beach available but no snacks/drinks there. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby Activities - entertainment team is good and lots for kids to do. Mini golf was a highlight (charges apply) Room - the 3 bedroom maisonette room was amazing. Fully refurbished and very spacious. Jacuzzi outside on terrace as well. Negatives: Drinks: the all inclusive drinks package had very poor cocktails. Tasteless and basic. Local spirits are terrible. Soft drink machines always tasted like they had not been refilled properly Room: jacuzzi was not cleaned at all or refilled. By the end of the week there was only half the water left. The room we were in (105) had no sun at all on it during the day so pointless having sun bed there. Cleaning quality was poor-rubbish not emptied and basic clean each day Service: main restaurant staff were good but reception and pool bar service was poor. Unfriendly and not accommodating. Booked birthday package for daughter and was told day before that it had not been arranged as it wasn’t paid for on check in despite being part of the booking. Then was told I had to email guest services to ensure it was arranged after paying instead of reception doing it for us. Not 5 star quality service at all Late check out: paid for late check out to 6pm at 80 euros but had to move rooms. Was put into a room which was clearly old and tired and extremely small. For a family of 4 it was a one bedroom shoe cupboard. Although not sleeping there was very uncomfortable to use even for the day. Lifts: 3 of 4 lifts not working so had to wait ages to get into the lift to move rooms with luggage. No offer of help to move the luggage from reception so ended up dragging it ourselves Pools: decent pools but very dirty and bar chairs were chopped and damaged all over. Again, not 5 star quality

Can't recommend this place. Pool closes at 1800 very sharp, facilities are in okay but not nice conditions, foid is okay but far from 5* standard, pool area is heavily crowded, staff is doing their duty but without a smile, gym is a cellar without sufficient ventilation. But the minigolf area is nice. Next time, we'll stay at the hotel of the big international brand, very close to this one. We've been there one year ago and liked the other place much more!

Me and my family visited Olympic Palace Resort Hotel and we can’t praise the experience enough! Staff was very polite and professional. Our 2 floor suite was spotless, spacious, and perfect for a family with children. We had a side view to the sea and a jacuzzi in our balcony!! The restaurants (a la carte and buffets) were rich with fresh, delicious options to suit every taste. The kids absolutely loved the desserts! The pool was clean and there were plenty of chairs. We will definitely return and highly recommend it to any family looking for the perfect holiday destination in Rhodes!
