Amazing Stay at Anavadia Hotel – Highly Recommended!
We had a wonderful time at Anavadia Hotel on the beautiful island of Rhodes. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the top-notch service – the hotel staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed.
The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, authentic Greek cuisine that we looked forward to every day. You could really taste the quality and love put into every dish.
Our room was spotless and very comfortable, with a beautiful view of the mountains. The entire hotel was kept very clean and well-maintained, creating a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere throughout our stay.
The pools were excellent, well-maintained, and perfect for cooling off in the warm Greek sun. Everything was of the highest standard.
A big thank you to Georgios and the lovely ladies at the reception – your kindness made our stay even more special.
Warm greetings from Janek and Milena from Poland – we hope to come back soon!

The stay at the Anavadia Hotel was excellent. The hotel and its surroundings are very well maintained. The hotel also has two swimming pools, surrounded by soft sun loungers with umbrellas. There is also a bar, where all kinds of drinks were always available. The room was always tidy and clean, and the food in the restaurant was top-notch. Special thanks go to the extremely friendly and professional staff. Our legend was mr. Giorgios. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the sea. The beach is beautifully arranged and the sea is clean. Definitely, if we ever visit Rhodes again, we will stay at the Anavadia Hotel, so we recommend it to everyone. 10/10

Not a 4-Star Experience – Would Not Recommend
We were very disappointed with our stay at this resort. The property does not reflect the photos or its 4-star rating. The room we were first given had no lighting along the paths leading to it, the sink sprayed water everywhere, and the shower flooded the floor. Power was lost on our first night and didn’t return for over 12 hours—no generator, no support.
We were moved to a second room only to find the bed, pillows, and sheets full of bugs. When we raised this with reception, we were told “that’s nature,” and only offered clean sheets. Not acceptable.
The restaurant hygiene was also questionable. Food was left uncovered, attracting flies, and the bread was often stale. One of the pools was green/cloudy in colour and clearly not maintained.
The only positive was the manager, Nikitas, who was kind, apologetic, and offered us a better room. But by then, the damage had been done.
This resort needs serious maintenance, and a more professional staff approach. I would not stay here again

Great if you get a deal, probably wouldn’t recommend at full price.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
Some staff were lovely and accommodating — they kept the buffet open when we were late for lunch and offered food even when we arrived at nearly 1am on our first day. While a few staff were a bit odd or rude, most were friendly and helpful.
The pool by the main buffet (first two pictures) was really nice and peaceful, with only occasional road noise. We didn’t use the other pool (last picture) after another guest said the filter was broken. Although it looked murky throughout our stay, people still swam in it. It also had loud music playing, which wasn’t to our taste. Unfortunately, that was also the only pool with a bar open during the day, meaning we had to walk over just to get a drink. It wasn’t far, but still a bit annoying. The toilets near that bar were also filthy and flooded, so we used the ones in reception instead, which were much better, although you do need to put a cover up on to go in.
Drinks were nice overall, with a decent selection included in the all-inclusive (including cocktails), though some drinks cost extra. The food was really enjoyable — not a huge variety, but always something we liked. We're not picky eaters, though we did hear some guests complain about selection. There was always some traditional Greek food available which was always delicious, the hummus in paticularly was fab.
The location was excellent. The hotel was very tranquil, with mountain views, and the closest beach was only a 10-minute walk. Another beach in a cove was about 20 minutes away, and several others were accessible by bus, with a stop right outside the hotel. The reception staff were happy to help explain the bus services and routes. The bus was great for sightseeing or even going to Falaraiki in the evening as they ran fairly late. Tsambika mountain was amazing and also walkable if you enjoy walking (some scrambling involved, probably took us about 2 hours total in the end). Kolymbia town is a short walk away with some nice bars too.
The biggest issue we had was access to drinking water. We received two bottles in our room on arrival, but the fridge wasn’t restocked after that. The restaurant had a postmix water tap, but signs said not to use it. There was a water machine by the main bar that we used for the first day or two, but it was removed without explanation. We later learned from another guest that their son had been electrocuted by it. After that, we had to ask bar staff to fill our bottles — the pool bartender was happy to, but the main bar bartender was reluctant and told us it could break their machine. When I asked where I should get water, he said, “you buy it.” So eventually, we did to avoid the frustration. It wasn’t too expensive at the hotel shop, but for an all-inclusive, it was very disappointing. No matter the quality of an all inclusive I would always expect water. Near the end of our stay, the machine was replaced, but the whole situation was frustrating. If you're not a big water drinker this is probably not too much of an issue but if you get through at least a few bottles a day it gets very annoying very quickly.

We arrived a couple of days earlier, and in the last minute we booked this hotel for 2 nights. The reviews were ambiguous. But we liked this hotel in terms of price/quality. This is a small hotel, but it will probably develop because there are other buildings further. If you are accustomed to the monstrous huge 4**, then this hotel looks like one segment. Very friendly staff. Geogios, Oksana and beautiful guys at the restaurant and bar; super-wonderwomans reception girls; Natalia and Olga from the service - all were very cool. Good room, clean bathroom, nice and big balcony. It is beautiful green yard, 2 swimming pools, good mini-billiard table, air hook, table football. Food was as well good, a lot of local home-made food. My son told he likes dinner the most. You can eat ice cream all day. We love deserts- pachlava and cake, it was tasty and not too sweet . Area where food serving is not so big, maybe because of this people told it’s not a lot of food. But in this small area you will find everything you need. Alcohol they have as well; me personally like beer and white wine . The huge problem of this hotel - the beach is far away and there is no hotel beach. We went on excursions and spent only 2 days where. But if I bought this hotel for a week, I do not know how I would handle. Mostly people go to Rhodes to the sea. But in general, we liked the stay in the hotel. Relax, constant food and drink, constantly free sun beds and clean pools.
