My stay at the SENTIDO Port Royal Villas and Spa was nothing short of perfection. The heated swimming pool, with its romantic lighting, created an enchanting ambiance that made our evenings unforgettable. The friendly and helpful staff added to the warmth of the experience, always ready to assist with a genuine smile. The room was not only immaculately clean but also incredibly cozy, making it a haven of comfort and relaxation. From the moment I stepped in, I felt right at home. The Port Royal Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can't wait to return for another exceptional stay. It's truly the best hotel I've ever experienced.

A stunning hotel with exceptionally friendly, attentive staff. If you have your own pool, I recommend the floating breakfast, although prepare for a gargantuan amount of food! The food is varied and well prepared. Even the buffets, which I always think can be hit or miss. No kids allowed either, which makes it incredibly peaceful, and brilliant for a romantic getaway.

Only stayed there for two days with family, but we all had a fantastic time. All staff were excellent, extremely helpful attentive, friendly and chearful. Nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel at home straight away which added to the relaxing atmosphere. The bars, restaurants, food etc was fantastic. There is plenty of choice for all tastes and plenty of it. The beach is only 100 yards away and easily accessible. The only problem was our short stay. We all wished we could stay for much longer. Loved every minute.100% will return for a much longer stay next year

The staff at this hotel are the perfect balance between professional and friendly. They are very efficient but made every interaction feel as though it was important personally, and took their time to get to know you and remember your preferences. It was like being amongst new friends. No request was too much - they went out of their way to make you happy. Guest Relations Manager George deserves a special mention. It was my partner’s birthday while we were there and he arranged a number of special treats for her during our stay, including a beautiful floating breakfast, which was delivered by a lovely member of staff who helped to make the day even more special. He was always around, lovely to chat to and really made a wonderful trip even more special. He is the perfect front man for the hotel and spa. Our room was gorgeous, spotlessly clean and maintained to that standard every day. It was very well equipped with high-end toiletries, linens and towels and a fully stocked mini-bar, and a beautiful sharing pool outside the patio doors with stunning views over the beach and sunrise, as well as the stars at night. We stayed on an all inclusive package, and this was worth every penny. The bar staff at the pool were excellent, and special mention must be given to Peppa and Eva and their colleagues in La Pasteria and Armira Restaurant who made us feel so welcome and looked after us beautifully when we ate with them. All of the food was exceptional throughout our stay. The hotel was in an excellent location, just over 30 minutes from the airport by taxi and set right on the beach. When we stayed, the hotel was at 90% capacity but because the resort was so spacious and well-equipped it felt peaceful, with no rush for sun beds at the beach or pool, which were plentiful. There are different pool options for all guests, all of which are beautifully landscaped and very clean and well-maintained. The buildings were low and spaced out and the views were incredible. The town of Kolymbia, just outside the front door of the hotel, is lovely, with local shops and restaurants well worth visiting. We visited the spa on a couple of occasions, for fantastic massages and to use the facilities. The pool has a beautiful glass domed roof and waterfalls and is a truly luxurious experience. Overall, an absolutely fantastic stay, and we can’t wait to return.

One word describes the 10 day stay we had recently, FANTASTIC!! From the Room Service, including clean bath sheets daily. The buffet restaurant served a wide range of hot and cold food, the evening meal on some nights included national themes, such as Mexican and Italian. We stayed half board, and we loved the food choice offered. The beach is around 100 metres from the hotel itself. The beds provided are deep and comfortable, and they even have a great guy to assist moving them in and out of the sun as they are quite heavy. We preferred this to staying by the pool, there is more of a breeze up the sea, and the pool water is natural spring water and ice cold… All the staff are courteous and friendly and speak good English. We loved it so much we got back home & booked again

Fantastic hotel, with very friendly and helpful staff, and delicious food with a variety of meals. Great swimming pools. Picturesque views and beautiful surroundings. Our room was very cozy and it was cleaned every day. My youngest son required a special diet which is very strict but it was not an issue in this case. Everyone, from the hotel reservation manager to the restaurant manager, chef, and other staff members was very helpful and involved. It is a fantastic place for families!!!

We have just returned from a 10 night stay and it exceeded all expectations. This is a great hotel and the staff were welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. The room was comfy and well maintained throughout the stay. The food offering in the restaurant was amazing, there was so much choice. Again the staff were so friendly and helpful. The layout with the pools is excellent, the water park is a great area and less congested than the main pool. The private beach was an added bonus and well worth visiting for the crystal clear water. The animation team led by Elena were superb. They put on clubs and entertainment throughout the day but the shows they do in the evening are so good. I highly recommend this hotel, it is perfect for a family holiday. We hope to return again next year.

We visited Atlantica Mikri Poli at the end of October and we couldn't ask for more. Kiki was really helpful in the run up to our holiday, upgrading us to a room with a seperate bedroom and arranging for birthday drinks and cake for my 12 year old son and wife in our room on their birthdays whilst we were there. The room was very modern and clean. The resort was also very clean and tidy - the grounds staff are constantly on the go. The bar/restaurant staff also did not stop and were very friendly. The animation team were amazing. They were full of energy and made the entertainment and the day times games something to really look forward to. The (child friendly) cocktail game and water polo were our favourites. There are loads of pools to choose from and we never had trouble getting sunbeds even later in the morning. We mainly pitched by the main pool where the games were played but ventured over to the waterpark a few times each day to ride the slides and float around the lazy river. The food was excellent. We ate in the buffet everyday (except one night in the italian restaurant) and the choices were great, even for our vegetarian son. The poolhouse and creperie were great for daytime snacks and lunch. There was a good range of drinks - Ask for rum slushies at the pool bar. My wife had a full body massage and facial in the Spa on her birthday and which she said was very relaxing. Memories cocktail bar in Kolymbia is a good place to watch the football. They had a good range of cocktails, spirits and even ciders. We hired quadbikes for one day and rode to Lindos to see the Acropolis and then to Rhodes town to visit the Myth Colossos of Rhodes and the Medieval town - Definitely worth the day out. Overall we had an incredible week away and would highly recommend staying at Mikri Poli.

The food is of a very high standard. Unfortunately the cleaning service has some comments. I have a room for 4 people but we were only given 2 cups. During the cleaning they forgot to clean the table, which we did not particularly dirty. Despite the 4 stars they forgot to refill the soaps. But the waiter service is very good Very good place for families with children. Wide choice of meals. Daily from morning to evening inclusive games for children and adults.

Anderson dos Santos Donda

Good place for family, different swimming pools with different moods. If you are planning to go with family with kids is a good choice. The sad part is that they allow smoking in the main pool, so if you want to stay there for the main events, for sure you will have to smell other's people smoking smell. Restaurant and other services are amazing.

Lovely holiday. Our room was a good size with a nice sized bathroom too. Room had everything we needed. Balcony was a great size and we would have had a lovely view of the pool/pool bar if it wasn't for the huge tree right outside the balcony! Bathroom could have been doing with updating as the sink had a large crack in it. Shower always had hot water and very good water pressure. Food was lovely. Always something to eat and I'm fussy. Found it odd that they had cold meats in the morning and evening but not at lunch. Would have been nice to have for a salad or sandwich. Sometimes food wasn't as hot as I like it but there was a microwave. Most of the restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. Would be nice to have the choice to tip individual staff in the restaurant though instead of one tip box as some deserved it more than others. Pizza area was good for snacking and the area upstairs was lovely too. Not a grill/steakhouse as listed in description but very nice all the same. Pool was always very clean as was the pool bar. Staff were great and very friendly. Pool was very cold!!! Nice to cool off but freezing when you first went in. Only issue I would say with the pool area was the fact that people were down before 8am putting towels down and not showing up for most of the day. Sometimes not at all. Feel like there should be someone monitoring this. Really enjoyed our holiday and would definitely go back.

Were currently staying in swim up room. The hotel is beautiful and very clean. The staff are extremely polite, helpful and make you feel at ease. Maria on reception made us feel very welcome from the second we arrived and continues to be so wonderful. Our only disappointment is that the extra we paid for a swim up room (have teenager & 2 yr old, so hoping this woyld be ideal) has not benefitted us as they do not get the sun at all unlike the picture advertised.

I was really worried after reading some of the reviews on here, but we LOVED our stay at Lydia Maris. So don't be put off by the negative reviews. We stayed as a family of four and found the hotel, staff and restaurant to be wonderful. Aside from the main restaurant, there is a pizza restaurants AND a souvlaki grill restaurant open all day. There was lots of fresh food and variety (not sure what everyone is complaining about). Loved the pool bar serving cocktails, good music, nice vibe and super friendly staff. Local beer went down too easily, and there was plenty of activities in the day (aerobics, water polo, darts, pool tables, little kids park) and a kids disco at night, which our little ones loved. When we arrived we were put in a family room down a flight of stairs which we found tricky with a pram. The staff were so accommodating and moved us to a suite right by the pool. (Would definitely recommend upgrading to a suite if you can afford it, the rooms have lovely balcony terraces right by the pool). Overall a great experience and super happy with the holiday!

Came to Rhodes for the second time in the year 2023 - this time it was a phenomenal experience. The staff and atmosphere in the hotel is great and is close to many beaches and transport links. Would highly recommend .

Conrad Kautzner

My family and I spent a week at the resort in early June, we can't speak highly enough of the resort. The staff are all extremely friendly and go over and above to accommodate you. We really enjoyed all the food at the restaurant and having the gyros and pizza restaurants available during the day gave you extra choice. The pool and pool bar are amazing, we barley left the hotel as we had everything we needed there. The only negative was that the beds were too hard. We would definitely recommend the hotel. Thanks for having us!

Unfortunately we hand not such a great experience staying at Lutania. We stayed here for a week in August & we feel we were mislead by the photographs online and the holiday we thought we were getting just simply wasn’t. First of all it states that this is a 4* hotel, I would say it’s no more than a 3 at best. I’ll start with the good. The pool area, although the pool is small, was good. Lots of space to relax & just chill. The location. It’s not too far from the local bars and restaurants which are about a 10 minute walk away. The scenery is great, being surrounded by huge mountains & looking out onto the ocean. We took a walk to the old monastery on the cliff that’s nearby and it was a great view from up there. It’s right next to the beach so you simply just walk down some steps and you’re on it. The bad. Where to begin. Our room was poor. The bed was just a wooden framed bed that was so uncomfortable and sounded like it could break at any minute. The bathroom looked as though it was just plastered a few days before and was literally just a plastered floor and walls. The sink had a foul smell every now & then, mainly in the morning. It was the same for the balcony outside, when we opened the sliding door to go outside it would just smell of sewage every now & then. The furnishings were basic, it just looked like they had thrown the room together in a hurry so someone could stay in it. The vent for the air con had screws/nails which were loose/hanging off which was a concern. The staff were okay but never really looked bothered or like they wanted to help, more like they just didn’t want to be there. The food was edible but beyond that it was poor. The selection was the same every day, they just changed the type of meat that was in certain dishes. The drinks aren’t branded like your Coke/Fanta but what I’m guessing are the local off brand ones apart from Pepsi. Breakfast was about the only meal we could tolerate after the first few days but it’s hard to get breakfast wrong. So we ended up going to other restaurants nearby because of this & going to the local store to buy drinks & snacks, baring in mind we paid for all inclusive it was an absolute waste so save your time & money. You have to get up early if you want a decent sun bed by the pool, otherwise it’s a pick of what’s left. You have to pay to use the ones on the beach if you’re unlucky enough not to get any by the pool so keep that in mind. Overall not the best experience at this hotel. Would definitely recommend Kolymbia but would say this hotel is one to miss unfortunately.

!!!!!!!!!HONEST REVIEW!!!!!!! I stayed in this hotel in October for a week, I arrived that night the room was pretty clean I would say but we had no towels in the room I’ve literally went to the reception the morning after I arrived told them and they just didn’t care and said they will bring it to you like in very horrible manner I went there at 8:00am to ask and I waited like 3 hours and still nothing so I had to go by myself to find the HOUSEKEEPER to give me the towels like these are the main things in the room that should be.I genuinely liked the location and the beach and that’s about it! You also have to pay for the sunbeds on the beach let me not lie I think around €20 per person just for a day like what I’ve been on so many holidays but never seen that in my life to pay for a sunbed!! Especially this kind of price,Like they should automatically provide that for guests!!! If you don’t pay and one of the staff that checks these things and he sees you automatically get a fine the hotel room I stayed in was in horrible state it was outdated and old it’s not like they showed on the photos ,the bathroom was just soo bad like really old ,the rooms are horrible I paid for a garden view all I’ve seen was just a tree really depressing room I would say.The food is horrible!!!!! Literally me and my partner were fed up bare in mind we paid all inclusive which was waste of money everyday was just same food no change it the meals also the cocktails were served in plastic cups from 18:00pm like what??? You literally just waste your money if you book this hotel.The hotel doesn’t even provide anything fun to do such a boring hotel if you’re young I would not recommend you this hotel!!!!!!!!! There were few young people in this hotel and we were all regretting for paying for this hotel!!!! This hotel is suitable for older people to be honest Waste of £1000 that’s what we paid for the hotel we came all the way from England so this holiday cost us around £1700 which make me sad that this hotel was a bad decision.

Very recommendable hotel. We had a very nice time and enjoyed the very good localisation of the hotel - directly next to the beach. The hotel service was very good and we had a nice and clean room with a perfect view on the ocean and the hotel's pool. We visited Lutania Beach in the first two weeks of October and were very lucky with the weather. We could reach Rhodos City and Lindos by bus, the bus station is very near to the hotel. Before visiting the hotel, we read good and also negative reviews on Google, but after making our own experience we can't understand the negative reviews and can really recommend the hotel. Maybe it's depending to the room and the time of visiting. We are very happy about our hotel visit.

Aneta Mrázková

Amazing stay! Couldn't be happier about it. The hotel is clean, staff is really nice! We were very surprised when we arrived at the hotel after an overnight flight at night and received a tasty pizza. The hotel is located in beautiful place with mesmerizing views around. Pool is good, bar is good, ... But a one thing could be added: More choice of food and not having the same things every day... Otherwise it's really nice! Thanks for unforgettable experience and vacation.

Pet Kob

We had a very bad experience with our travel agency. Management and all staff helped us to enjoy our holiday in the best way they could. Hotel is clean and tidy, straight next to the beach, activities going around, good entertainment some of the evenings. Would recommend

Elaine Wilcock

Wow. What to actually say. This hotel is simply amazing. The service is the best I've ever had and I've travelled extensively. Everyone is so friendly, happy to help and deserve the absolute world! The food. Well.. the chef.. absolutely incredible. There wasn't one meal I didn't like (I went half board). Breakfast has everything you can think of. Dinner was simply some of the best restaurant quality food I've had. My mum and I just loved everything about it. So relaxing and we had the best time! Thank you to all the staff, everyone walked round with a smile on their face which is so incredible to see and it's automatically makes the place feel like a nice place to be in. Hope you liked my Fun facts on the receipts 🤣 All the very best. We will be back!

Shoham Peller

Perfect hotel on all aspects. Friendliest staff, amazing breakfast, and beautiful design. Would definitely recommend it, 10/10. The location is not central. You need a car to get around.

John Arkell

This is a great recently refurbished hotel. the only issue for us was the lack of things that were advertised on the Web, for example Ebikes non there. Entertainment. Non available and so on , also if you do not own a smart phone you will find it difficult to get information about the hotel , also the television in the rooms is only transmitted in Greek.

Rachel Ferreira

The perfect getaway to do nothing but relax! We had the most pleasant stay the staff are 5* always accommodating and friendly. A few highs: - the place radiates peace and serenity - staff and amenities - the spa was blissful highly recommend the Swedish massage by Mary - best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel soo many options and everything was delicious - cook club is next door and you can venture into their restaurants and bars for a change of scenary A few lows: - location: a bit of a ghost town out of season there is nothing other than all inclusive resorts for miles highly recommend renting a car and exploring the island everything is 15-20mins away - food options: there is a the main restaurant and the olive restaurant but nothing else within the hotel although food is great - room: a few small touches could make for a better experience ( No smart TV and the channel connections where really poor) there was no where to hang towels in the bathroom, dressing table had no chair (nothing deal breaking but would be a nice to have) - lack of entertainment: don’t expect to be entertained here it is a chill out and relax hotel but after a few days can get a bit repetitive only entertainment is an evening DJ playing chill music at the bar. Again not an issue for me but for those spending more than a few days may want to plan accordingly All in all I will definitely be looking forward to visiting another casa cook/cook club hotel in the future!

Zeina Yacoub

Loved everything about the hotel especially everyone working there, big thanks to Petros and Lucy for standing out amongst the staff but everyone else was absolutely lovely and welcoming. Will be back soon and I highly recommend the place to everyone!
