Lindos Village Resort & Spa

This hotel was quite disappointing and not at all what the photos looked like. It is much closer to a 3 star hotel, think Travelodge, Greece edition. We booked the double deluxe panoramic sea view and I would not consider it ‘panoramic” unless you went to the furthest corner of the deck and hung yourself half over the edge. There was a handful of things that contributed to my low review: - If you’re a larger person, good luck going to the washroom. The toilet is almost under the sink, your legs sit under it while you use it. - The shower doesn’t drain so you’re standing in water all the time and it overflows onto the bathroom floor. - The soap bottles in the shower are worn off, so you don’t know what they are. - The bathroom REEKS of urine. Not sure why, and not sure I want to know why. Seems like it backs up through the toilet or something each time you flush. Smells like a truck stop outhouse. - There is not a single hook to hang your wet towel in the bathroom or the room. - If you’re over 5’7” good luck showering because the shower head is freakishly short. - There is no where to put the toilet paper so it sits on the counter that barley has enough room in itself so it gets wet every time you wash your hands. - You get 2 caffeinated coffee pods and if you want more for the rest of your stay you have to pay 2 € per pod. - Rooms are just outdated in general and could really benefit from a renovation. - They need to re-silicone the shower because it’s dirty and old. - They have music every single night until quite late (10:30-11) and you hear everything despite the door being closed so if you are hoping to catch some sleep, don’t count on it until late. The pros: - the breakfast buffet is quite good, big selection and generally tasty. - The staff are lovely and very friendly.

Good hotel with good offerings to its guests. The staff is super friendly and genuinely helpful. Good breakfast buffet and a good pool area. The rooms however could be better. As a 5-star facility, I was expecting the rooms to be of a better technical standard. Things like broken doorhandles and leaking and overflowing showers should be easy fixes... but it seems it is only patched, not fixed as it should be. The hotel is located about 50 minutes from Rhodes town and about 15 minutes from Lindos town. Very central and good spot for further exploration of the island. All-in-all had a good stay with just some hiccups during our first 3 nights.

The service is what made this place. They were really attentive and friendly, couldn’t have expected better! The complementary wine was also a nice touch. Great views and handy with having a beach so close. In terms of food, the breakfast and the fine dining restaurant were good and couldn’t fault it. However, the hotel is in desperate need of some TLC. The room did not look as we expected. The bathroom was falling apart (issues with plumbing, tap handle loose and tiles were falling off). We had cockroaches in our room, and although we understand they are difficult to remove, finding two in your bed is less than ideal… (other people staying had same issue with cockroaches so it wasn’t just us). We also didn’t have a lot of the basic facilities in our room, like a kettle, shower cap and would have been good to have a steamer for clothes (understand an iron if fire hazard but need something quick for creases). I am surprised this is a five star hotel, as it feels like it needs some renovations to bring it up to scratch. It also wasn’t cheap so expected more.

This hotel has a beautiful location and the service from staff is impeccable. They try their best to cater for allergies as well. The evening entertainment is great live music and the grounds are lovely. The rooms are tired and in need of a bit of TLC. It is a taxi drive into lindos town and there can be a bit of a wait for the taxi but you can wait in reception. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it but would not agree with the 5* rating for the rooms. The staff are what make the holiday, from the reception staff to the pool bar and the bar staff everyone was lovely! The spa was also very nice and a lovely treatment.

Nice location for sunrise but not a 5 star hotel as advertised. Easyjet describe this hotel as 5 star and 6 restaurants, which is why we booked.. It feels more like a 2/3 star and does not have the advertised 6 restaurants. It has ONE restaurant available to half board and one that is available to upgrade to at extra cost. Our room was so bad we had to move room 5 star prices for 2-3 star accommodation and service.. Also of note. This was the most upgraded room possible via Easyjet. - Not Five Star - They even charge for Water at your Half board evening meal! - Food lacking, lacklustre, slow and the staff just follow you about. Creepy and weird - Advertised as 6 restaurants. In reality you have one! The pool bar is extra and there is one more a La carte. Also extra and empty so this is a one restaurant and one snack bar hotel but the snack bar is extra - We had to change rooms. First room was disgusting - Second room. No water. No coffee. No ability to even plug in the coffee machine. - They then wanted 2 Euro for coffee pod. We had no tea or coffee making facility in the three awful nights we were there. - TV not usable. Placed on the vanity unit. Wifi does not work with the TV reliably and nor does mirroring. - You have to ask for tables to be made up at breakfast. - No USB or even sockets in the bedroom so unable to have phones near beds. Some might say a good thing. I agreed but give us a choice. This is a Five Star hotel after all. Only decent things are sunrise, Lindos and checking out!
