Traveled with my husband and 11 year old son. I liked it very much! Our room was not in the main building, but in an annex to the building (to the right of the main entrance). It turned out even better! There is no corridor and exit from the room directly to the balcony, which just replaces the corridor. The room also has a real balcony that overlooks the other side. Thus it turns out that there are two balconies. And most importantly, when it's hot, you can stand in the breeze))) The views around the hotel are excellent. On the one hand, the sea, on the other, mountains, small white houses hanging on these mountains, who knows what, in the distance, some kind of fortress is visible....In a word, there is something to stand and look at. Service at the hotel is excellent. We liked everything, all issues were resolved in two minutes. The cuisine is relative in my opinion. That is!... You can't die of hunger, there is a lot of food, but there is a desire to expand the assortment. Those who rested in Turkey in 4 * -5 * hotels will understand what I mean... In the morning, the food, for me, is very dietary))) Although my son and husband are just right. Drinks are a separate issue. Just a lot and as much as you like... and !! !... all day! In the restaurant, by the pool, in the bar - everywhere. Beer-normal, wine-red, white, rose. . . Champagne in the morning!!!! ! We didn’t drink it, which I regret now))) In general, it’s also good. Service is imperceptible and unobtrusive, but regular and high-quality is very good. I really remember the bartender at the bar on the ground floor by the pool. Middle-aged woman, dark skinned. All the bartenders there are smiling and friendly, but she is the most cheerful. It happened that she even danced behind the counter there. This is very uplifting! We just fell in love with her - like our own! ))) Pools are very good in the hotel. Everything is thought out. Depth, place, shape - for every taste and size. Very clean! The sea is very close. There is sand on the beach, but there are pebbles at the entrance, then everything is smooth in the water. The sea is clean, warm and calm. On this side of the island is the Mediterranean Sea. Which is what we were glad about... On the other side of the island, the Aegean Sea is terribly not calm, rocky, windy and colder. We were lucky! ))) There is a lot to see on the island! I recommend the Butterfly Valley, a trip to Ialyssos to the Cross is the most luxurious, and!! ! take the car and yourself to the junction of the seas! Unforgettably!! ! 50 meters strip, on the right one sea is calm and smooth, on the left the other is violent, windy! Check it out!.......The hotel has a bar near the beach. It is located near the stage, next to the slot machine room. We sat there in the evenings. Quiet, the sea is noisy, the frogs are singing! Marvelous!! ! There are frogs singing! They are different than ours. They do not croak, but howl or squeak, it’s not even possible to convey... We didn’t even immediately understand who was making these sounds. And then only there they went to listen! ))) Very cozy verandochka!! ! In general, I recommend this hotel to all my friends. I have not been to Rhodes in other hotels, and I do not want to. I liked everything. It’s a pity that I probably won’t get there anymore, because. we decided not to visit the same country twice. But if I find myself in Rhodes, I will only go to this hotel! I have a very warm memory of the time of rest and even a feeling of happiness for these 10 carefree days! Many thanks to all the employees and employees of the hotel and a huge hello from our family!!!
Something about the hotel and its infrastructure, excursions, shops. . .
1. The hotel has two entrances, rather one through. From the side of the main entrance, buses with newcomers park and a road passes. But the hotel is separated from the road by a large flower bed with palm trees. Yes, there are few cars. So, don't worry if anyone has windows facing the front door! Not noisy. For that!! ! The island is clearly visible from the top floor. Not all, but far away))) The second entrance to the building is directly opposite the first, that is, exactly from the back of the building. This is the side overlooking the sea and the inner territory of the hotel with all the benefits))) There is an extension to the hotel. There is also a view on the 2nd side. One is on the same road with a flower bed, the other side is on a nearby hotel. Fine! Quiet... For that !!!!!!! ! You get two balconies. One in the room, he's a balcony. The second is the entrance to the room, which is also an open corridor (open - passes directly through the fresh air). So that the rooms and there and there are located normally.

2. Eat: the main restaurant and a bar near the main pool. There is a secret that is not immediately revealed to some))) When there is a desire to have a snack between the prescribed meals, there is one place. There is a bar near the round pool with an island. Behind the bar there is a room (from the rear, if the pool is considered a face)))) There you can take buns, pizza, ice cream and all kinds of water (fanta, cola, sprite)
3. Bars:
One bar in the hotel in the lobby near the main restaurant.
The second is near the round pool. Very, very comfortable. It is two meters from the pool. Comfortable to sit, drink something and look after the child. You don't even have to scream. It's so close that just talking is enough. And if anything, you don’t need to run)))) One jump - and you are a savior! )))
The third is near the stage, in a house with slot machines. It is generally a fairy tale. It's great to spend evenings there. Who has children - especially. Just give him more money. There are slot machines and all sorts of entertainment. Children play games and do not touch. And you sit on the veranda and enjoy life. Children can be seen and heard from the veranda, close to you and safe there. The veranda is fabulous! The sea is here! Just hold out your hand. A breeze.... The sun sets and draws pink pictures on the water.... Then the moon rises.... It's also beautiful. Cool, nice, beautiful. It is located near the stage and loud music is heard. It's very quiet after the concert. Foreigners go to sleep, but there are not very many of ours. So that intimacy is guaranteed. You can quickly drag the child to sleep and return))) The bar is closed (at 24-00 in my opinion... ) But it doesn’t matter! Take in advance a few glasses of a cheerful drink and sit at least until the morning. There is a porch from the veranda to the beach. Leave whenever you want. Yes!! ! Be sure to sit there! At sunset, the frogs sing there. Hear - understand what I'm talking about. There is a small pond about two meters, just behind the porch railing. There are goldfish and frogs

There is also a non-alcoholic bar located near the water slides and the playground. It is convenient to sit there for those who took the children to ride the slides. There is no intoxication there, and it is not necessary. You can't drink much in the sun anyway! Yes, children need to be looked after. If you don't have kids, there's nothing to do there. Although it is a personal matter. It's just noisy there..... The slides and the playground are close to the hotel building. Do not confuse with AQUAPARK! I'll talk about this later. If you leave the hotel on the sea side to the pool, then you need to go left along the path. You will pass the children's pool, walk along the path to the end of the building, a bridge will appear (ahead, slightly to the left) to you there. Under the bridge down the stairs. There are trampolines, a playground and water slides. The area is under a canopy!! ! It is important!! ! There is also an entrance to the slides from the beach. Find. . .
4. Pools: there are three of them.
One right next to the hotel. He is round. In the middle is an island and a bridge to it. My favorite. The depth there is 1 m 20 cm (uniform). You can swim in circles. There is one benefit! After lunch, when you can’t be in the sun, the shadow from the hotel falls on this pool, exactly half of the pool. So that you can drip and not be afraid of sunstroke. And it froze - the second half of the pool in the sun)))
The second one is also in front of the hotel. Only slightly forward to the sea. It is square, deeper and larger. The depth is from about 1 m 50 cm to 1 m 90 cm (I don’t remember exactly). There are no more children. There men dive))) There is a lot of spray from them. Sometimes it's just annoying
Third to the left, right next to it. He is childish. There's a fountain and an ankle-deep depth. The deepest is knee-deep or waist-deep (depending on who) They bathe small ones at all)))

5. Loungers:   a lot of both by the pool and by the sea. One trouble!! ! Taken from early morning. But it doesn't matter! There is a rule in the elevator in the hotel. It says in five languages ​ ​ that sunbeds cannot be occupied with towels !! ! I am opposed to this. Many borrow, and come in the evening. We made it easier. If there are 2-3 sunbeds nearby and are occupied with towels of the same color (which means one family)...., then we seized the extra ones, and shifted the towels to one sunbed. That's all. You must have a conscience. The cost of sunbeds is included in the room rate. I have the same rights to a sunbed as everyone else. Someone took it, and I went to bed. Try to convince us. This is uncivilized and incorrect. So dear!! ! Don't be mean, don't get on your nerves. Come and always find a place to lie down! ))) Do not forget that everyone is equal on the beach. There are no privileges. All the shortcomings and advantages are visible there....And I mean the shortcomings of education. Everyone is entitled to what they paid for. You still put your briefcase on the bench in the metro in the morning so that you can go sitting in the evening)))))))))))))))
City of Rhodes. Very nice! Fortress, city. Take a walk, look. What's great there? People still live in the fortress! Not like on other islands, ruins and a museum among them. There are shops, even houses. And all in the old walls. I'm amazed! How many centuries! It's worth it!! ! Drink Froppe. It is a drink made from coffee with milk and ice. Refreshes.
Palace of the Masters. You can see... But not very interesting. Moreover, it was built a new one quite recently. It is not old, although they tried and faked it coolly. )))
Butterfly Valley. The kids will love it. There are two roads! One up the hill to the monastery. The second to the valley down. Good here and there. But you can walk along the valley. Sit in the shade, relax. With kids, pressure, sore feet and laziness, go downstairs. Going upstairs is difficult and long. It’s very beautiful there, waterfalls, streams with crabs, lizards (it’s on my photos). The bridges are so cool, the pictures are beautiful. But!! ! Only 10% of people can reach the very top. Yes, we're tired. We walked for more than an hour and there was not enough time for us. The bus will not wait, but still go down. Please note! The stairs are very steep and very narrow. You won’t go fast, you have to let pass all the time. So, you need to go to the Valley of the Butterflies for the whole day.

Felerim cross. This is JOY! Mount under 300 meters and cross another 17 meters. From it the whole island is visible, as from the Ostankino tower! I also have a photo from there. The height is terrible and you are standing right over the abyss. Terribly terribly, to delight! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! There is also an old Felerim Mother of God church on the mountain. Light a candle for her. She cures all diseases! You can even buy her image there. Buy it, don't save it. . . They sell liquor there. They say that improves digestion and give it to everyone to try, even children. I don't know if it's curative or not, but that's what they say. Many bottles are bought. My 11 year old son tried it. I got drunk a little, then my stomach got sick))) I also tried it. It is very stuffy and pressure, the air is very rarefied. The mountain after all..... I felt a little sick))) My husband drank. He liked it, he is happy. Everything is for nothing))) So, be careful with tasting)))
The ruins of the temple of Apollo, the ancient stadium and the school of oratory. Be sure to visit! Great! There, many centuries ago, the Olympians ran, and now you... Visit, you will not regret it. For your information! There is a toilet there (it seems ridiculous, but it's important! )
Confluence of two seas. It is something!! ! You have to go there yourself. Be careful not to burn! There the wind and sunburn are not felt, and then the skin peels off))) We burned very badly while taking pictures. It's GORGEOUS! Can't find another word. Two seas nearby. Sand strip 50 meters in total. A few steps and you are on another sea. They are different. Aegean with wind and waves as tall as a man, and the Mediterranean is quiet, smooth as a pool.... We ran back and forth, enjoying the variety))) If we drive a little further, there is a mountain at the very end of the island. From its top you can see how the two seas are connected. Right on the water strip. Seas of different colors. A warning! Many car rental companies do not allow you to drive on sand, insurance does not work. If so, you will answer yourself. But we went))) Normally. Many take cars cheaper, low-powered. So here they are, low-powered... , on the ascent to this mountain they often stall. Careful. And then you push with your hands. Everyone around is not Russian, who should I ask for help then? )))))) From the hotel to the confluence of the seas 110 km. We drove by and didn't even notice. Do not be afraid. The main thing is to go so that the sea is always on the left, you don’t have to turn inland. A couple of times the road will go, as it were, into the interior of the island, but immediately almost back to the coast. There is one place where many get lost. There the road goes deeper. We must not miss the turn to the left to return to the coast. He's not noticeable. It seems that this is not the right turn, it looks like not to the left, but almost back. So you still need to turn..... We drove through, waiting for a crossroads. They returned for a long time. Remember the main rule! Beach on the left there and beach on the right back to the hotel. Return the same way. Many travel around the island, back to the hotel on the other side of the island along the Aegean coast. It's up to you, but that coast is very mountainous. Then take the car more powerful and more expensive..... or lose weight. And that will not pull.
8. Car rental. Take better from a representative of the travel agency. Near the hotel there are rentals and others. But you don't know what you're signing. Contract in English. How not to get..... Returning the car is easy. Return to the hotel, park the car approximately in the same place where you took it and put the keys under the mat. Everything! Go already)))

9. AQUAPARK. I was not. But it costs 20 euros per person for the whole day. They say great. Everyone likes. I just don't like it, I can't swim. I'd rather go to the ruins)))
