What a superb experience we had here. Obviously some of the reviews were scary in terms of the gulf between amazing and a disaster but my own personal experience was the hotel is superb but it needs a bit of work in the rooms. The room itself had an incredible balcony view of the sea, a super comfy bed, a dodgy wardrobe and someone had clearly tried to kick the door in. Admittedly I’m not painting a good picture but the view of the sea/beach beats everything. The hotel itself is in a great location with clean and tidy eating areas, spotless reception and a lot of space. The food was also incredible, I know it’s an all inclusive and some people may have had better experiences but we found it great. My Mrs is a vegetarian and there were plenty of options for her. Breakfasts were amazing. Lastly and more importantly the staff… they work so hard, they’d do anything for you, and even though many of them are working long shifts they are still happy and smiley. All of them greet you, they’re efficient and you can have a laugh with the bar staff. I do think it depends on your stay and luck of the draw with the rooms but personally I believe this is a very special place. Ironically for roughly the same price of a room here for a day you could spend the same on staying in a premier inn in Somerset…

My experience at Lindos Royal was absolutely delightful, with the spa being the standout feature of my stay. The moment I entered, I was greeted by a calming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The variety of treatments offered is impressive, catering to all needs, whether you're looking for deep relaxation or therapeutic care. The therapists were highly skilled, ensuring that every session was both soothing and invigorating. Aside from the spa, the resort itself is stunning, with elegant architecture and beautifully landscaped grounds. It’s the perfect place to unwind, with luxurious amenities that make for a truly rejuvenating vacation. If you’re looking for a retreat that combines relaxation with a touch of luxury, Lindos Royal is the place to be.

Currently here and waiting for my transfer to the import after a 6 day stay with my 14yo granddaughter. The hotel itself is very basic, certainly not 5* Nothing in the mini fridge after Day 1, when it was stocked with 1 small bottle of water per guest. Nothing after that. Rooms are tiny - just enough space to put a bed - really basic. Separate loo & shower cubicles (which to me is a plus) but the shampoo /shower gel dispensers were broken. No hand soap at the sink. All inclusive was restricted hours, and again very basic. You’re limited to ordering two drinks per bar visit, too, so in a large group that would be ridiculous. 10€ deposit for a pool towel is pretty standard nowadays, but you’re restricted to changing it only 3 times. Nobody tells you this, you have to ask at Reception The corridors are grubby and plates of food and other rubbish are left (guests are doing this but it’s not being cleared) Sun loungers are basic, but if you’re lucky you’ll be able to get a thicker mattress to put on one. You’ll have to find that yourself though. There doesn’t seem to be anybody responsible for ensuring gusts have access to mattresses to put on the loungers, & there are very few! There’s barely space to walk between or around the loungers, too. Entertainment is shockingly bad, but as it’s the end of the season I expected a lack of entertainment anyway. The bar by reception charges extortionate prices. The downstairs bar stinks of damp - in fact the entire place smells iffy, like stagnant water. The pool bar is possibly the best, but the coffee machine is a bit hit n miss, and the food consists of chips, pizza, cake, biscuits, and a small range of mini wraps (cream cheese for example) Rooms are ‘cleaned’ daily, but you could come back to find they’ve forgotten to provide towels, or they’ve created bed art - very inconsistent- pot luck how well the room is cleaned Basically I’d say they treat as if they’ve got your money so you’ll have to put up with the shoddiness. Oh and the pools close at 6 - strict on this! The sun disappears behind the hills at around 5, but it remains light til around 7 (October) The beach is shingle (which I was prepared for) but the sun loungers on the beach are not for hotel guests so you’ll need to bring something to sit on if you’re going to stay for the day I’ve been lucky as I hired a car and travelled around the island to different places every day, which was the plan anyway, but I chose this hotel for its location (near Lindos Village) and its 5 star rating! I wouldn’t come again and I cannot recommend it as I know there are much better hotels on this beautiful island.

I just can’t justify giving this a higher star rating than a three. The hotel states it’s a 5 star hotel but the rooms and service are subpar to some four star hotels I’ve stayed on the same island and paid a thousand pounds less for the week stay. The hotel seems run down in places, food is like warm at best and staff don’t really seem to know what to do when told about and issues. Today we asked if there was an iron available and we were told the hotel did not have any ironing facilities due to health and safety. Our only option was to pay for the dry cleaning service. For 5 stars I’d expect an iron in my room.

Where do I even begin. Firstly the photos for this hotel are very misleading. Stating it’s a 5* hotel when it’s more of a 2* in my opinion. We had a family room booked for 3 adults and 1 small child to begin with. However the room wasn’t big enough to swing a cat in it. After speaking with the manager they moved us to a family suite which was a lot better, however still a few issues. - 5 coat hangers on the wardrobes to use between 3 adults and 1 child. - Mouse droppings on the balcony that hadn’t been moved the whole duration of our stay, which clearly shows that the cleaners don’t clean up properly. - Piles of sand in the room (we hadn’t been to the beach) so again, the rooms are not cleaned properly. - €25 for a safety deposit box which is in the wardrobe and it’s smaller than a shoe box so there isn’t a great deal you can fit in it, especially for 3 adults. All food in the restaurants is lukewarm, nothing is hot. All inclusive drinks stop at 11pm meaning you have to pay for the remainder (never had I EVER been to an all inclusive and drinks stop at a specific time). FYI - It’s easier to take your own pool towels as you have to pay a €10 fee for a paper thin towel and they can only be changed every 2/3 days. In the 7 days of my stay I hadn’t seen the pools being cleaned apart from “swim up rooms”. Kids pool was filthy the whole duration, had to ask staff members to come and clean it. Yet still was dirty. No irons for “healthy and safety” reasons, but of course you can “PAY” a fee to have your items to be ironed. Kids entertainment on a night lasted a whole duration of 15 minutes! Italian kids are only allowed in the kids club which is appalling and when asking staff members they cannot give an explanation why.

We have just returned from our 4th stay at Lindos Sun, which should tell you everything really! The staff are exceptionally friendly and professional, which makes for a wonderful relaxing holiday. The hotel is spotlessly clean with a beautiful pool area. The food is amazing with plenty of choice. The location is great. Just a 20-minute walk to Lindos with taxis available if needed. All in all, it's fabulous 👌.

Lisa Hagerty

Nice chilled quiet relaxing stay here. The pool was spotlessly keen, well kept beautiful gardens, friendly staff and fantastic views. Could maybe do with a few more facilities by the pool and bar. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

My boyfriend and I stayed here the first weeknof september and had the most amazing time. We had our own room with a pool and it was immaculately clean and very comfortable. We were half board so made use of the restaurant at breakfast and dinner which was absolutely delicious especially the lobster soup!! All of the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful especially the two guys behind the bar who made our stay so much more fun!! We absolutely loved our stay and cant wait to come back!✈️

We have just returned home from the most wonderful holiday and hotel experience at the Lindos Sun in Rhodes. If we were to write our own description of a perfect hotel, this would be it. It’s a bit bigger than a boutique with an intimate boutique feel. The room we were allocated was perfect and had a great balcony. It was very private, yet only took around 30 seconds to walk to the beautiful pool. There were always enough sun beds and places to eat at breakfast and dinner. The hotel was kept to the highest standard by everyone who worked there. There are two managers, one who leads the general hotel and one who leads the kitchen and they both do a greatly impressive job ensuring their guests have everything they need. The staff team; the cleaners, the maintenance, reception, the waiters, waitresses, the bar, the pool bar and the whole chef’s team could not do enough to keep everyone happy. It’s hard to give a special mention to anyone in particular because everyone was really incredible. However, we must mention the chefs and the waitresses for the most wonderful dining experience we have ever had, including in 5 star hotels. We would recommend this hotel to couples and families who are looking for a really quiet but fun accommodation. It’s more like an adults only hotel which made it even more perfect! We would recommend hiring a car and using Pefkos Mare in Pefkos who are very reasonable and you can email them beforehand to arrange it. Thank you to everyone at Lindos Sun for a really special holiday👌🏽Every guest we spoke to thoroughly enjoyed it.

My first solo trip and I couldn’t have picked a better place! I do have some negatives but not a lot in comparison to the positives. The breakfast was great. The place was spotless, the staff were lovely, housekeeping did an amazing job, free toiletries were great fully received (I only bought hand luggage so space was an issue) the shower was incredible as was the bed! Down sides are all financial. They take a €150 deposit which is advertised no where and if I hadn’t had my credit card with me I’d have been screwed! There’s no price lists. Not for the mini bar (generally €2.50 an item) or for the restaurant (€35.00 for evening meal which is expensive compared to the town although the food is very good) A medium glass of wine in the bar was €7 which is steep, I bought a bottle in town for €6 This is to be expected at a hotel bar but my gripe is with the lack of openness for prices! I’d deffo come back again though but this time slightly more educated. The walk into town gets easier. The Atmosphere bar is great, the supermarket in town is MUCH Cheaper than the one next to Ice bar. If money wasn’t a concern I’d probably have given it 5 stars, although no attempt to help with my bags was a tad poor! Beautiful place, lovely grounds, mostly great service and a short (but steep) walk into a stunning town.

Reading the recent reviews makes me question if we were taken to the correct hotel! It was far from a nice experience! I’m inclined to agree with the reviews from a few weeks ago regarding the rude staff. The male staff who were working in the outdoor area of the restaurant were rude, grumpy, and unhelpful. They didn’t even clear our plates, we had to move our own plates to unused tables. The quality of service at the reception was dependant on who was on duty. Booking system for the restaurants was badly communicated and managed. Missed out on reservations due to their poor communication. Food was overcooked. Very few traditional Greek dishes. Area around the slides was dirty and potentially unsafe due to poor management of the floor matting. Rooms were dirty and looking tired. Key card would lose its memory multiple times a day, despite keeping it away from phones and other devices that could cause it to fail. Too many bad points to waste my time writing! Good points: Very friendly staff at the pool bars. Very friendly chef. Cleaners were friendly. But not enough of them. Going home. I’ve paid far less and received much better service and quality of food. Given the price of the holiday we are very disappointed. Perhaps it wouldn’t have felt so bad if we had been treated better. Stay well clear!

My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional and exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel very welcome. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, and the common areas provided a perfect space for relaxation. The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring the local attractions. A standout experience was my visit to the spa. Paola did an amazing job with the French manicure and pedicure. She was extremely professional and attentive, and the result was absolutely perfect. Her friendly demeanor made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment. If you're looking for a well-rounded relaxation experience, this hotel is definitely the best choice. I’ll definitely choose it again for my next visit!

The hotel was truly exceptional, offering all the amenities one could wish for a relaxing stay. However, what really made the difference was the spa experience. A special thanks to Katerina, who welcomed us with such kindness and professionalism, making us feel comfortable and at ease right from the start. Additionally, Paola was absolutely amazing! Her massage was one of the best we’ve ever had, and it was clear she has great skill and passion for her work. We’ll definitely be returning to the hotel for its excellent service and outstanding spa treatments!
