Lindos

This hotel is not how it’s advertised online- the social media they put up is complete rubbish and fake. How it’s even got 5 stars?! I’ll never know. Our experience started off into the hotel with the smell of smoke and a unbelievably rude bags Porter who didn’t want to help us at all. We were escorted to our room.. got in and instantly shocked at what they’d given us as it wasn’t what we had paid for.. still a foul smell sea view which was clearly not a sea view and two single beds pushed together!! I went down to reception.. spoke with manager I didn’t want a argument I just was in a bit of shock as it wasn’t what we expected. She gave us a room which was in all fairness one of the better rooms I think compared to what a lot of other guests we’d spoke to had, we were grateful but we were expected to pay €25 euro for each night and we were staying 12. Room was hardly the biggest issue.. let me tell you when I say the smell of this hotel in general is absolutely disgusting, reception area and the calypso bar inside stink of smoke pool bar and all around the pool area smells like drainage/sewer basically poo which you cannot avoid and will smell everyday of your holiday it is VILE. Food was very average it is very Samey but I didn’t expect anything amazing.. thing you have to be really careful is the meat/fish.. were two occasions where I put it on my plate to eat and it was underdone/ pink which made the options even more limited. The staff, I could complain about most of them but to be honest staffing is all down to management and all the staff there are clearly overworked which makes them so miserable which is just not what you want to see going away on holiday. Overall just do not expect 5 stars and do listen to the bad reviews because I’d agree with every single one of them.

Three people made our visit Despina, George and Sergio at the Lindos Royal hotel. Being the end of season it isn’t easy to keep positive all three made our time lovely. The extra touches remembering our drinks, our preferences very lucky to have these three staff members. The rest was lack lustre. The rest of the team wanted to finish, the property is outdated, sewage smells linger in some pool and bar areas. The last few days we felt like an inconvenience. We didn’t let this get to us and had a great holiday. Overall I wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend.

The Royal Lindos Hotel is certainly not what it's advertised as. The only place stinks of sewage half of the time especially around the pools. The main staff aren't the friendliest, although most the cleaners and kitchen staff are fantastic. The food is pretty much the same every day. The location is a 30 minute walk away from the nearest town (not Lindos) the rooms are in need of some major TLC. We had a room with shared private pool, in the pictures it looked like with 1 or 2 other rooms not 10 like we had, and our side NEVER saw the sun. The private beach is not great and for the royal Lindos you share the lowest of the low sunbeds with anyone where the other hotels in the area have their designated ones. Also nothing is well advertised at all. If you want to find out anything you have to find a nice staff member to tell you where things are. I would love to go back to Rhodes but it would never be back at this hotel. Most couples we spoke to on our holiday felt the same as us. This was certainly not value for money

Lush location is very nice food, but the same thing over and over gets a bit boring. The hotel is fairly big with lots of bars, swimming pools and some small slides. Staff are all mostly nice and there is entertainment most nights. The thing that really lets it down is the swimming pools are freezing 🥶

Amazing hotel. Has rooms with sunbeds outside and with entrance to a shared pool. Rooms are clean and spacious. Great food in all inclusive, a lot of choices for every meal + 3 thematic restaurants. Gorgeous beach with sunbeds (with no extra charge).

Just about to leave after a lovely week's stay here. Slightly out of the way location wise, but this didn't affect us as we didn't mind the walk or the bus into Lindos (which is right outside hotel on a sometimes busy road, not overwhelmingly so) Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, beautiful grounds with nice foliage. Nearest beach is about a 10min walk to get to Navarone Bay, which is quite desolate compared to the well known ones in Lindos. Great for snorkeling though. Good selection of food, and sunbeds always available around pool. Recommended for a quiet getaway not far from Lindos.

We spent 2 weeks at Lindos Sun from the end of May into early June 2023, and we absolutely loved our time there. The hotel is beautiful, the layout and design emulates the design of a traditional village in many ways. The grounds and public areas (including the pool) are immaculately maintained, and the jasmine arches by the pool are very charming. Its setting at the base of the hill is great, the hillside is lit up at night for a really lovely effect. We had a sea view room with a great view towards 'Navarone Bay' and the headland. The room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. I was a big fan of the hotel's location. It's a 15 minute walk to the edge of Lindos town, and probably 25 minutes to the far side where the main Lindos beach is. It's on a reasonable gradient going into the town, so if you're of a less hardy disposition or don't cope well with the heat, I'd recommend getting the bus or a taxi into the town during the heat of the day. There are bus stops each direction very handy to the hotel, basically just outside the entrance. We really enjoyed our walks. The hotel breakfast was brilliant, there was a really good selection and it was all very tasty. We generally ate in Lindos for our evening meals, but the two hotel buffet dinners were good (we preferred the breakfast though). The food from the poolside bar was good too. We loved our stay, and would definitely return for another visit.

Here at the moment staying. The staff make this place 10/10 for me. Food is good, room well cleaned by housekeepers ❤️. Bus only a short journey to either Lindos town or Pefkos, where we stayed previously. Pool is decent and well maintained, like the rest of hotel and the grounds. No rush for sunbeads as plenty around, and it's nice and quiet.

Just stayed at Lindos Sun for 1 week Half board. We found the hotel basic but very nice, relaxed, and very clean. The staff are all very helpful and polite. The breakfasts and evening meals are lovely although, simple things like getting a cup of coffee on a morning can be a challenge due to low staff levels, also what is it with the absence milk, is it rationed?. You can sit at your table for 10-15 mins without being offered a cup of coffee some mornings. Coffee needs to be on display so we can help ourselves. (That was my pet hate lol) I also feel the hotel should at least be providing water with the evening meal. Not charging 2.5 euros for a bottle. It’s a small fee but it adds up over the week. I’ve paid for half board and I need at least water with meals included! The first room we were allocated was way too small so we asked to be moved into a more spacious room, this was sorted the very next day so that was fine. Lindos sun hotel is a bit of a walk from the Lindos old town, taxis cost at least 10 euros. I’d recommend getting a car or scooter to get about, or budget for another 20 euros a day at least to get to snd from town. The pool area is basic but again very clean, and relaxed. This is not the ideal hotel to be taking kids, This hotel is perfect for couples wanting a relaxed quiet stay, with breakfast and evening meal, that is priced accordingly as it is situated slightly out the way. All in all we had a great stay with some minor niggles so I docked a star.

Today is our last day at this hotel. Although our overall stay was satisfactory for the most part I doubt we will be returning back here again. On arrival around 1am we were dropped off on the road outside the hotel. Reception isn't very well signed coming into the place in the dark for the first time. Upon arriving at reception and getting the checking in formalities out of the way we were then asked for a €150 security deposit which we could put on a credit card in case of any room breakages. Good job I had mine with me isn't it ! Never known it anywhere before now so be aware it is expected. As a middle aged couple at a hotel well away from resort centers I have no idea how they thought we might deliberately or otherwise decide to damage our room. We were taken to our room having to lump both our hand luggage and cases up 3 flights of stairs, along a corridor then down another flight to get to our room. Bear in mind it's around 1.30am local time and we had been travelling all day. Not a good start. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. What it lacked was storage space. Safe to small to store a tablet in it. The room towels were very good along with the towels provided at reception for use at the pool or beach. Breakfast each day there is a wide variety of breads, fruits, breakfast cereals and items to make up a cooked breakfast. Teaspoons on the tables to stir your coffee and tea tend to be a bit hit and miss tho. The waiting staff are helpful, friendly and courteous once you get to know them as is the daytime receptionist. At the poolside there is a beautiful pool overlooking across to Navarone Bay. Pity the Seaview you had will be gone by next season as they are building new Villas directly across the road from the hotel that will eventually completely block the view there was. Lunch at the poolside bar the portions they serve are very good and plenty of it. A club Sandwich is enough for 2 people the size of it. The hotel is in a bit of an isolated spot outside Lindos. There is a cheap to use half hourly bus service to Lindos and Pefkos. Lindos is close enough to walk it up the hill if it isn't too hot out. There is also an ATM situated there as well should you need one. Why it was put there rather than in reception god only knows. The evening bar at the hotel was a disappointment to us tho. On no less than 3 nights we requested hot drinks after our evening meal only to be told they had no milk. Same if you would like a hot chocolate drink rather than a cold drink. Very hit and miss. Unsure if it was just the bar mans reluctance to do it despite there being a hot drink machine there or if he just couldn't be bothered to do it. This along with the location and the fact that it's a tricky place for people that may have disabilities. I strongly recommend hiring a car if staying here. They charge for parking at Lindos now though. So he aware. It is a 4 star hotel but in certain things they let the place down hence why I only gave it a 3 star rating.

Love this hotel. Especially the waiter called Alex- he doesn't let you ho without a drink for long. Little Road train just outside complex out the front or jump aboard the boat going to Lindos is direct from the beach. Great location and fab pools. Something for everyone!

I had the pleasure of staying at Lindos Imperial Resorts & Spa for a week-long getaway, and I must say, it was an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The check-in process was seamless, thanks to the attentive staff who ensured that every detail was taken care of efficiently. Our room was not only clean but it had also an amazing view that added an extra touch of magic to our stay. Let’s talk about the food. It was simply divine. From the breakfast buffets to the delectable dinners, every meal was a culinary delight. The variety of options available catered to every palate, and the quality of ingredients used was top-notch. One of the highlights of our stay was the plethora of activities available, especially for families. The hotel boasts an impressive array of amenities and entertainment options, ensuring that guests of all ages are kept entertained throughout their stay. The entertainment team deserves a special mention for their enthusiasm and creativity in organizing fun-filled activities and shows that kept us thoroughly entertained. The communication and dedication of the Guest Relations staff at this hotel is truly something else . Their availability via WhatsApp made it incredibly convenient for us to reach out with any questions or requests, and they were always prompt in their responses. It was evident that they went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our vacation was as memorable as possible. Their commitment to guest satisfaction is truly commendable and made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our stay. I tottaly recommend Lindos Imperial to anyone looking for an unforgettable vacation experience. Whether you're traveling solo, with your partner, or with your family, this hotel offers everything you could possibly need for a memorable and enjoyable stay. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

My room was rather large, had two showers although I'm not sure who'd be small enough to use one of them. Hotel is in the middle of nowhere and the complex is massive. No matter what room you get, you'll be a 5-10 walk away from something, be that the beach, the restaurant or the pool You can book excursions down by the reception, although they are pricey Activity pool was great although I did find the activities rather limited Evening entertainment was where this hotel fell down the most, hip hop, urban dance Latin dance to name a few, sat through one night of entertainment (South African tennors) but still could do with more interactive entertainment Reception was very helpful Gym was a big glass box with mostly weights, a couple bikes and treadmills. Got very stuffy as there was no ventilation Food was amazing, I'm a fussy eater and there was only one night I struggled and ended up with pizza and chips Location is in the middle of nowhere, but there is a bus stop outside where you can get the times of the buses (don't trust google, that cost me a bit of money) Staff are great, rarely had to ask for a drink, just walking up to the bar it was ready for me If you don't mind staying at the hotel for the week and not going off exploring (2hr walk to the main Town)then I'd recommend this hotel, I won't be returning as it didn't suit me but that's a personal preference, it really was a great hotel except a couple things mentioned above.

We have stayed at lindos imperial resort and spa for 7 nights on all inclusive. We booked a suite with a private pool which was lovely and spacious, however we only used the pool once due to the temperature of the water being very unpleasant and cold as the pool was always in shade with no sun, we are very disappointed with that. Luckily there was a public pool just round the corner that was could use instead with sun shining on it all day. The room was nice and clean. We arrived at 1am so there was no food being served anymore, however the hotel has left us some Bananas and a sandwich in the fridge which was nice. The staff are nice. We always had bottled water in our room. The food was nice, however we found that it was very repetitive everyday. Drinks from the bar were okay. The entertainment wasn’t very good, we found that we didn’t have anything to do after 10pm because the resort is far from main towns etc. There is a small store on site which has mostly everything you need. The site is really big, with many hills so be prepared to do some trekking. Our room was about a 5 minute walk from the main reception. The beach was very rocky and painful to walk on without shoes. The beach snack bar was nice and had a good variety of food. There is also a beach bar. There are good transport links from the hotel to lindos or rhodos, however it took over 2 hours to get to rhodos. The bus stop is outside the hotel main reception. The WIFI is horrible, basically non existent. It never worked. Overall we had a good holiday, but we wouldn’t come back here.

Our family had a fantastic time at the Lindos Imperial Resort and Spa! As parents with one child, our week here was amazing. The hotel's exceptional child-friendly environment offered a wide array of activities, keeping our little one entertained throughout our stay. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness made us feel at home, and the food was delicious, exceeding our expectations. The hotel's expansive size provided numerous pools and well-stocked mini bars, adding to the convenience. We highly recommend this hotel for families seeking an unforgettable vacation experience, with its perfect blend of fun, relaxation, and warm hospitality. We're already looking forward to returning someday!

Mitsis Lindos Memories Resort & Spa: A Perfect Getaway in Rhodes I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Mitsis Lindos Memories Resort & Spa in Rhodes, Greece. I was looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation, and the Mitsis Lindos Memories exceeded my expectations in every way. The hotel is located in a beautiful setting, overlooking the town of Lindos and the Aegean Sea. The views from the hotel are simply stunning. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The food at the hotel is delicious. The main restaurant offers a variety of international dishes, while the poolside bar and beach bar serve light snacks and drinks. I especially enjoyed the traditional Greek dishes, such as moussaka and souvlaki. The hotel offers a variety of activities and amenities for guests of all ages. I enjoyed swimming in the pool, relaxing on the beach, and taking advantage of the hotel's spa facilities. Overall, I had a wonderful time at the Mitsis Lindos Memories Resort & Spa. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect getaway in Rhodes.

We had a wonderful time at the hotel. The staff are fantastic. The pool area, private beach and lunch restaurant are what makes the hotel. The buffet breakfast is great, albeit a little basic. The evening food is presented as fine dining but admittedly a little bland with limited options. The hotel itself and experience makes it five star, but the rooms need updating - they aren't five star. Overall would highly recommend as a good place to get some winter sun at the start of October. The location is brilliant and close to Lindos which is great for an evening drink and Acropolis.

Just returned last week from the Lindos Memories hotel. Sadly we had to leave early due to the wildfires affecting the island, and were evacuated on the first night by the Greek government and then there was a fire in the field next to the hotel on the third day. During both events, the staff were brilliant in trying to look after everyone and things were back to 'normal' very quickly. Overall, the staff are what make this hotel. They are friendly, the doorman is a really nice guy, and little touches like the champagne on arrival.etc. Nothing is too much trouble. For this reason alone I would return to this hotel if I come back to Rhodes. If I was going to be picky, I would say it was a shame there were flies everywhere all over the buffet during breakfast and dinner. I imagine this is hard to avoid, given we visited during the hottest week on record, but still could have been avoided perhaps with doors closed and air conditioning instead. Nor would I say the food is exactly 5* either. I also wouldn't say the rooms are 5*, and need ideally updating in some areas. But that's being critical, overall I would return again purely due to the good service and friendly staff alone, a nice little quiet adult only hotel. Thank you!

Fantastic hotel with friendly staff and a brilliant breakfast! The beach is next to the hotel which has soft sand, clear water, fantastic snorkeling and free loungers. Rooms are cleaned well every day to a high standard. Walking into lindos is not too hard unless it's boiling hot (we did it every day on our holiday and the temp was about 25C at the time), takes about 20 mins on the path along the road. Breakfast was brilliant with a good amount available, dinner was average (only ate at the hotel once). Would love to visit again!

Having just returned from a week at this hotel, we felt compelled to write a glowing review! Firstly the staff are absolutely wonderful right through from the reception team down to the cleaning staff. They are courteous and throughly obliging. A special mention to Sophia on Reception (and the other lady who i have forgotten the name of but equally as lovely). The communal areas of the property are well maintained throughout and the location is peaceful and very picturesque. In fact many passing pleasure boats moor up in the bay as it really is a beautiful spot! The pool (freshwater) is well designed and beautifully clean with a resident life guard. Quality sunbeds and umbrellas! Take advantage of the 'Greek Night' around the pool which is amazing!.. The breakfasts were gorgeous with an extensive range of fresh produce. A choice of several main courses in the evening alongside a wonderful buffet as well, Half Board was certainly enough for the two of us! Both breakfast and evening meal were served in a beautiful restaurant with quality cutlery and spotless table linen. The sun rises & sunsets from the verandah are a must! They run a private transfer (Mercedes Van) to Rhodes two twice a week which is a must!.. For EUR27 per person return you get a good 4 hours mooching around. We actually went back on the public bus a few days later as there is so much to see. Having stumbled across this hotel after walking out of one in Lindos earlier in the day (you live and you learn!), it's a hotel that we would certainly return to in future years. Unlike many hotel ratings, this lives up to expectations! Katy & Shane
