Прекрасные майские праздники на Родосу Beautiful May holidays in Rhodes

The hotel draws on a solid 4. By Greek standards, only de luxe pulls on a solid 5. From what I've seen, this is true. We were very lucky because it was the beginning of the season and the hotel was not swarming with tourists. In addition to representatives of the former post-Soviet space, the hotel is designed mainly for the French. At the beginning of May, the Village territory is not yet open. And the downside is that out of 4 a la carte restaurants, all themed dinners are held only in 2 (dionissos and la pergola).
I liked the self-service dinners more, as the waiters kept themselves waiting for a long time and sometimes it seemed that they did not fit the Russian-speaking tables on purpose.
But in general, I really liked the hotel - the food was varied, with all sorts of sauces, spices, seasonings and a huge amount of sweets. True, there were few fruits. But the bar has a large selection of alcoholic drinks absolutely free. The non-alcoholic cocktails were also very good. Drinking bottled water can be taken from la pergola. The bars have delicious ice cream and juices. The rooms were cleaned every day, towels changed on request. Although, dusting the tables is clearly not the responsibility of the maids.

I liked sports activities with animators. Evening performances were not impressive. The hotel has a great kids club. Our child loved it and didn't want to leave. There is free mini golf and tennis (2 courts), by appointment. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in the lobby and pools. We were lucky and instead of rooms with a garden view, we were given rooms with a sea view at no extra charge (beginning of the season and many rooms were empty). The hotel has a good spa. Gym, sports activities in the hall and sauna - for an additional fee. Spa administrator - Russian-speaking, will always help you choose the right procedure. You can also turn to her for advice if you want to buy a fur coat. When buying a fur coat, bargain to the last. If you suddenly want to buy cheap "perfume" for 3 euros, do it in a shop at the hotel. Some stores outside the hotel sell rare g. . . and the samples don't match what you buy.
The territory of the hotel is spacious and green. By the way, the deposit for towels was canceled this year. It should be noted that the hotel has a mini-library. Tourists optionally leave books there that you can take to read. The library mainly consists of English and French editions, but Russian ones can also be found.
It is not profitable to take a car in a hotel, we took Calithea cars near the hotel. The owner Nicholas is just lovely. The mechanics are cheaper than the machine, at the beginning of May the cars cost from 25 euros. By the way, Nicholas has Russian-speaking guys who you can turn to for advice or help. The hotel has its own large parking lot. But remember, on Greek roads, you must definitely buckle up and follow all the rules. The blue parking zone is paid, the white one is free. It is forbidden to park in yellow. Roads in Rhodes itself are not so hot, but on the island - the highest class. A taxi to Rhodes costs 9 euros + 2 euros if you order it by phone. Rhodes can also be reached by regular bus for 2 euros. On Saturday in Rhodes itself, you can walk along the city walls of the castle. We did not take excursions, we rode around the island ourselves. Be sure to visit the evening Rhodes - a bewitching sight.
This hotel operates a scheme - 2 adults + one child for free. Just outside the Village there are two cafes that serve seafood.
The Greeks themselves say that this hotel is one of the best on the island for two reasons. First, it has a large territory and the windows do not go directly to the roadway. And secondly, this part of the island is not as hot as the southwestern one. So, enjoy your holiday.
