Just saying what i think

Lovely stay here for a week getaway. Service was amazing, very helpful and polite staff, in particular Venicia one of the managers. She was very attentive to any issues we had. Food was good, enjoyed the all inclusive. Only thing I would say is that the location is pretty remote. Is good if you want a nice relaxed beach type holiday. Away from all the hassle and bustle.

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.

8 night stay in Lindos Royal. ( All inclusive deluxe swim up room inland view) The amenities in the hotel are great, our swim up room was clean and Cleaning service was exceptionally delivered. Big minus is leaving the dirty towels / sheets in bags in the hallways, we bumped into these several time after cleaning service were done. Received open body lotion near sink which was a downside, didn’t feel 5*.Lots of moths in the room and ants - not sure how much can be done about this didn’t bother us that much. Inland view shared pool room doesn’t get much sun so bare in mind. Pool attached to room was very cold, so perhaps heating it for guests would bring this hotel to 5*. The views from the hotel are amazing, we loved the private cove you can snorkel in, big highlight. Loved the beach belonging to the hotel with sunbeds! Staff were lovely, specifically in the pool Bar and in the Main restaurant, always offering drinks. Bringing a nice atmosphere to the hotel and its guests. However, Calypso bar didn’t have a warm atmosphere from the staff at all. All inclusive food was unfortunately the worst I’ve had for a package holiday - stale, tasted like it was prepped day before and left in the fridge. Easy things like chips were a let down. Snack bar could have had fruits and salads, fresher gyros as it was stale, again. Hard to eat. Buffet Salads and veg tasted like it sat open in the fridge mixing with other smells and not contained properly. The food was a very sad let down - I never leave bad reviews but unfortunately the food was very very poor. Themed restaurants were better, if that was the quality of the buffet food this would be a 5* hotel. Great pools, lots of space.Entertainment was fun! But Sun bed sitting as not enough seats bare in mind. The location and rooms and other amenities are fantastic but the food really lets this beautiful hotel down. Shout out to reception staff who were so helpful with info, taxis and other general information

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

The hotel was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The rooms were spacious, elegantly decorated, and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The dining options were diverse, offering delicious meals that showcased local flavors and international cuisine. The staff was friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. The highlight of our stay was the spa. Katerina at the spa reception was incredibly welcoming and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. Paola provided an amazing massage that left me feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait to return!

The hotel is gorgeous, and rooms and communal areas are very clean. Amazing array of pools and bars and right on the beach with water sports. Found buffet food a little bit boring, and the pools were freezing. Luckily, the sea was so warm that we actually spent hours on the beach instead. I would recommend the place fully if it wasn't for the pools. Such a shame as those are so beautiful, but people really struggled to swim in them. We did love live music on the outside terrace, the coctails list was nice and long, and there is a crepe bar for late night snack. Fresh hot crepes with array of fillings.

Anna Tsiakalou

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!

We went here in September for 7 nights. We had the most amazing time. The room was perfect and spacious, staff friendly, great pools (our favourite was the one with the slides!!) and a decent selection of entertainment. But as foodies, we can confirm the food and drink here were great! We did the Mexican, Greek and steak al a carte options and they were amazing with huge portions. The buffet breakfast and lunch were great with some reoccurring options each day, but always many differing options each nice, too. There was always plenty of choice so as to not get bored. The BEST bits for us were the burger house, the crepe/gelato stand, and the snack bar on the beach. There is also a HUGE range of drinks at each bar. There was always so much choice of what to do in the days and evenings, we had something new to do/watch/get involved in every day. Would LOVE to come back here :)
