Stayed the first week of April with family. I enjoyed it that much that I extended my stay a further week alone and still had a really great time. The reviews that are saying the food is very bad are wrong. The food is good. There is a large variety, including vegetarian, vegan and they are very helpful with gluten free foods also. If you get there when the food starts, it's hot and there is a lot to choose from. The pool in the start of April was cold, because it's not a heated pool, but I can not complain about that, its not summer time yet! The entertainment "Animawork" were great. Kiko, David, Ronja and Noemy. They had different entertainment every night and was very very good with your children in the day time, and even getting g adults involved in all sorts like mini golf, football, yoga, fitness, volleyball, aqua zumba etc! The entertainment team also allowed me to have a special day and teach a yoga class which turned out really great! It was a pleasure. The room was large and spacious, clean, no problem with towels or hot water or the power. Everything was good about the room. The views are lovely. You are across the road from a taxi rank which is cheap. You are close to kallithea springs ans you should also visit the cat sanctuary on the way in! I hope my review is helpful. If you are not sure about this hotel because of other reviews, I definitley definitley recommend it. I can imagine having a family and a husband and children and taking them there and really really thinking it is great........ But no, I went alone haha!

We booked a garden view room, but got a room with a balcony which from you can only see some dirty roof, the room's lights didn't work and the balcony floor was flooded with dirty water. The room looks very bad with tiny TV and it is not like in tge picture. The beds are uncomfortable. In the reception there is only one old person who needs to take care of 30 people at a time. He told us we have to sleep in this room and only tomorrow they would listen to our problem. Overall, the hotel looks very old and is very bad.

Honest review of Kresten Palace . I returned Yesterday 21/4/24 after a 7 night stay in a swim up room. Room was clean and tidy, signs of wear and tear as per usual in this typical type of hotel, that doesn't bother me . Bed was comfy . Lovely view on the balcony overlooking the pool . Being a swim up room it was lovely . Unfortunately the pools were absolutely freezing! That was the biggest let down of the holiday. But apart from this it was ok. The food was good at breakfast . Dinner was hit and miss . Always chips so always something to eat. Lunch at the hotel was nice see a pic. Burgers and chips 10 euros pizzas around 11 euros , pastas 10 euros . So with s drink roughly £20 for 2. The beach. No point in going its like sunbeds in a carpark. Dirty beach lots of litter. Not pleasant. The shop opposite the hotel is very expensive. Walk 5 mins down the hill and he's much cheaper . Location. Nothing is around this hotel !! It's between faliraki and Rhodes. Everyrhing is a bus journey away. The bus is 2.5 euros to Rhodes. Faliraki is dead this time of year. Rhodes was pleasant, old town behind the castle walls was much nicer than the modern Italian type shops in the newer part of town. Overall not a bad hotel . I'd reccomend maybe just doing bed and breakfast and then hiring a car . We hired a buggy and was awesome to see some sights . Overall a 3 star hotel

We had an amazing time at Kresten Palace! All The receptions staff are unbelievably welcoming and can not do enough for you. The room was spot on, the lovely cleaners take pride! A special thank you to George for carrying our bags and being so helpful. The entertain team were truly amazing! A big thank you to Kiko for getting us all involved and must also mention the rest of the entertainment team David Noemy Ronja for making our stay unforgettable. Ignore the previous reviews regarding the buffet food, the choice was vast with different specialties options each night and it was all so enjoyable, the waiting and cleaning staff always so eager to make sure you were happy and never stopped smiling. We can not wait to return. The food and staff at the pool bar and restaurant were also faultless. You can hire a car direct from the hotel by the lovely helpful assistant which we did to visit Lindos it cost around €50 for the full day, it was well worth it only a 40 min drive. I highly recommend the walk up to mountain and ruins definitely worth paying the entrance fee of €12 for the history and views! Taxis are also available directly opposite we used them a couple of times to go into Rhodes town it was extremely cheap around €11 each there and back. You must walk further along the harbour look for the red submarine Poseidon glass bottom boat, it was a great experience for €10 each. The skipper and staff were great helping my daughter who felt sea sick. There’s an audio highlighting the history surrounding which was really interesting and we got to feed and see so many beautiful fish. Taxi to Faliraki was €15, we ate at eat Greek falirari, it was amazing beware the portions are huge! There is also Kalami beach walking distance around 15 mins, you turn right from the palace and it is the road opp the chemist after the 3rd bus stop. I could go on a on!! Kallifea springs is also a must and not far to walk. Thank you very much to everyone we will see you all soon!! xx

the place itself is lovely to relax and chill out however when it comes to dinner buffet the food is almost the same every night and seems to get worse and worse if u don’t eat Greek food or a picky eater like me there’s not other options apart from pasta and chips and obviously if u stay for a long time u will start to get fed up with it. in my personal opinion if u are a picky eater I wouldn’t recommend the dinner buffet. the breakfast and lunch food are amazing I’m shocked how dinner could get so bad.
