I really liked the hotel, we were satisfied with everything. The food was delicious. The cocktails and the beach bar are perfect. There are a lot of guests but it is not crowded, not unpleasant. There are a lot of staff, they take care of everything. The room is modern, nice. Cleaned every day, towels changed...etc.. I would come here again!

My photos don’t do this hotel justice — in my opinion, it deserves 5 stars, not 4! I honestly can’t find a single fault with this place. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is fantastic. There are plenty of options for adults, children, and even the fussiest eaters. Every night there’s a huge variety of food and drinks available. The rooms are spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. There are always enough sun loungers by the pools and on the beach, so there’s no need to rush out early to reserve one — you’ll always find a spot to relax. The all-inclusive drinks selection is impressive, with lots of choices — and they all taste great, especially the beer and cocktails. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. A big shout-out to the cleaners and chefs who work tirelessly behind the scenes — they do a fantastic job and truly make this hotel what it is. Praises to george aswell who seems to be around every avenue of the hotel always as happy as ever this guy is really good at his job and makes the stay enjoyable. I also forgot to add the snack bar by the beach is dishing out 5 star food all through the day really nice variety and quality.

We stayed for a week in early October, two adults and kids aged 9 and 12. This is a high-end hotel located right on the edge of the Mediterranean sea. The kid’s pool has a great waterpark with 4-5 slides. The other pools are good as well, but the gem is the hotel’s private beach. A serene and pristine piece of beach without intrusion. Top marks for the rooms and the sincere xenia displayed by the staff. Food is very good, especially impressed by quality of variety of the all inclusive-options available throughout the daytime. Kolympia is a small village, but you can get the necessities for your stay. The bus to Rhodes stops right outside the hotel and is only 4 euros per adult. Very happy with our stay.
