I enjoyed my 7 night stay in October on half board basis. On arrival I was kindly upgraded to one of the rooms in the beachfront wing. The sea view from the balcony was fantastic, the room was spacious enough and renovated. Overall clean, but there were some details that could be improved such as the rusty mirror, mould in the shower and the mattress was quite soft. Breakfast was good, for dinner as a vegan, the overall experience was good, the manager showed me around the buffet on the first night, showed me what was suitable and said they could cook me something fresh if I didn't have enough options. The food was fresh and tasty, however protein was lacking, it would have been nice to see more plant based protein options, even just legumes without added fish, cheese, etc. Some dishes had ingredients listed, others didn't, it would be useful to include all common allergens on the labels. All the pools were great, especially the adults only one, very comfy sun loungers and a few steps away from the beach! The location was good too, lots of restaurants and shops nearby, the hotel also offers a shuttle bus service to Rhodes town, or there is also a public bus stop 15 mins walk away.

Asked along the way.

What's included in the venue rental?+
The rental includes access to ceremony and reception spaces, tables, chairs, and basic lighting. The complimentary wedding coordinator assists with scheduling and vendor communication. Catering, florals, photography, and entertainment are separately quoted.
How many guests can the resort accommodate overnight?+
The property has 150+ rooms across multiple buildings. Most wedding parties book 30-60 rooms depending on guest count. Discounted rates typically apply for wedding group bookings of 20+ rooms.
What is the best time of year for a wedding here?+
May, June, September, and October offer ideal conditions: temperatures 25-28°C, minimal rain, and calm seas. July-August are hot (30+°C) and crowded with summer tourists, though still viable.
