Blue Eyes

We had a good holiday here. The food was great, drinks were local, and there were plenty of sunbeds around the lovely pool. If guests leave their things on a bed and go away for too long, staff remove them for others, which I thought was good. The bar staff weren't always the friendliest. The location is ideal, right across the road from the sea, with a view of Turkey. It's a really nice hotel, though the rooms are small and there aren't enough lifts if you're on the top floor.

We were on the fifth floor, and the hotel was spotless. Our room was a good size, though there wasn't much storage. There was a wardrobe and safe, but no drawers for underwear, socks or folded clothes. It's a short walk into Rhodes, and the hop-on hop-off bus stops outside. A day ticket costs 20 Euros. The service has been very good so far, and the dinner selection is huge. My one small gripe is that the food could be hotter for my taste.

The traffic on the main road was loud enough to make it hard for me to sleep most nights, and cleaners woke us early and ignored the do-not-disturb sign. There wasn't much storage in the rooms, just a wardrobe with very few hangers, and the food was rarely hot. Still, we really enjoyed the stay and would recommend it. The hotel has a great view, good service, lots of food and lovely desserts and iced coffees 😋 The location is perfect, the hotel is pretty clean, and there are three pools to choose from. We never had trouble finding a sunbed during our week, whether we went to the main pool after breakfast or came back later. There's also a private beach front and plenty of daytime and evening entertainment in both buildings.

Being moved to a sister hotel on my first night was the biggest letdown. They called it 4*, but it wasn't. The TUI rep seemed uninterested and thought a spa voucher I didn't want was enough compensation. The rep also said this had been happening a lot, so be ready for that disruption. Overbooking and small details brought down what is otherwise a decent hotel in a fantastic location. It's a short 15-20 minute walk to Rhodes old town. Buffet food is plentiful and usually good, though it can sometimes be bland or cold. Included drinks are a reasonable selection, if limited, and the self-service soft drink machines in the restaurant weren't working. At night, the bars limit you to two drinks at a time, which is frankly silly when you're a party of three. The rooms are good, with a little wear and tear that I assume they'll fix over winter at the end of the season. We had no real problem finding sunbeds, and the pool areas were clean and tidy. The pool walls could use a good clean and the pools seemed to need a refit, though the water was very clean.
