Lindos Royal

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.
