I spent my 30th birthday at Lindos Villge Spa and Resort on my own as a little retreat. I was nervous about my first ever holiday being alone and how I was going to be treated. But I can categorically say, I was treated like a princess from the second I arrived up until I was collected to go home.
The food was incredible and fresh and beautiful, everything was sparkling clean and crisp like a palace.
Even though the family hotel is next door there was absolutely no noise pollution at all. It sits perfectly on a hill and has the most incredible view of the sea. There is a million steps to go to the pool but I honestly did not care, because the views from everywhere you stood were serene and perfect. And there are slopes alongside to accommodate those who can’t do stairs.
The spa treatment was incredible too I felt like a new woman. At no point did I ever feel unsafe as a solo female traveller, everyone was professional and helpful.
Hand on heart, the best holiday I’ve ever had and I will be booking for my birthday again next year too. Cannot wait to come back and see more of Lindos.
Thank you so much!

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!

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.

Wouldn’t give this hotel 5 stars at all! Terrible experience. The hotel is dirty, broken and stinks. The room was really basics and had things again broken and dirty. The food was basic, the pool was small and basic. Meant to be adults only but there is a kids pools with slides the other side of the wall. Rubble and digger outside the hotel entrance which isn’t appealing. The hotel does not reflect a 5 star. The only thing good about this hotel is the receptionist Maria who was very helpful and the lemonade given to us on arrival was lovely. This hotel needs a massive clean and upgrade and lowered star rating.

A Relaxing Stay with Gorgeous Views – but Not Quite 5-Star
We recently stayed here and overall had a lovely holiday, but there are a few things worth mentioning if you’re considering it.
The pool area is beautiful with a great view, and the service – especially from the pool boys – was excellent. The gyros at the pool bar were delicious, though the tzatziki was a bit disappointing. Breakfast offered plenty of variety (I loved my daily omelette!), but the orange juice was far too watered down.
The beach is a pebble beach, so definitely bring water shoes, but once you’re in, the sea is calm and lovely. The Banana Beach Bar was a highlight – such a cute little oasis with great food and chilled vibes – and we loved the golf cart service to and from the beach. However, for a supposed 5-star resort, the sunbeds could really be better – they’d benefit from proper cushioned mattresses like you’d expect at this level.
On the downside, the hotel doesn’t quite live up to its 5-star promise. From the outside it looks luxurious, but the rooms, while comfortable, are a bit shabby around the edges and could use a refurb. There’s also a barren patch of grass near the bottom of the property that would benefit from some greenery.
A couple of practical notes: there are a lot of steps (it’s on a hillside), so bear that in mind if you have mobility issues. The on-site supermarket is handy, but waiting for taxis to town can be frustrating – sometimes up to 45 minutes, and people jumping the queue doesn’t help!
Some odd touches: the cleaners sometimes leave used cutlery or glasses outside the rooms, which isn’t very 5-star either. Also, there’s no ice cream freezer by the pool, which felt like a missed opportunity.
All that said, we really did enjoy our stay – the weather was perfect, the pool and sea were gorgeous, and despite a few quirks, it was a relaxing break. With a bit of updating and attention to detail, this place could easily live up to its 5-star potential.
