Loved our stay at Lydia Maris. Very friendly staff. Very much enjoyed talking with the pool bar staff in the evenings. Rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels daily. Hotel grounds are very well kept all always being cleaned and kept tidy. Plenty of food although I didn't always fancy anything hot after a sweltering day by the pool. Nice restaurants in town if you fancy eating out and the beach is only a 7-8 minute walk. Also the Animation team are superb. All in all we loved our 10 days here.

Well located, 8 m walk to 3 amazing beaches, hotel was constantly being cleaned, grass trimmed and pools cleaned daily, majority of the staff were welcoming and always smiley and helpful, the cleaner would come to our room always with a big smile and keen to provide best service possible. Maria at the front desk was always helpful, restaurant staff always helpful and smiley even in the busy periods.
Only negatives:
1 - you have to pay for bottled water even if you have all inclusive (not acceptable).
2 - bar staff stain the amazing job every other member of staff does, no effort, mechanical, not a smile or engagement, bordering rudeness.

Absolutely loved this hotel. Well laid out, big restaurant with plenty of choice of things to eat. The pool was great, and the staff were super friendly and polite. I guess my only complaint would be that there isn't enough outdoor seating in the evening, which as we stayed, the beginning of June dies not bode well for guests in the height of season. Animation team are great. They really do try hard to get people to engage in activities. Sun longer towels you rent for €10 each, change every 2 days and get your deposit back at the end of your stay. There is a great little gym to burn off some energy if sitting by the pool all day leaves you restless. Hotel safe deposit box was, €20 per week. The cocktails are let down by them using their squash in the drinks instead of juices, there are no options for sugar free fizzy drinks either but water, tea, coffee and fizzy drinks all on tap all day. The hotel is near a strip of restaurants and car hire places, great location and great hotel albeit not a 5 star hotel but I would rate as 4 star.

Recently stayed here for 10 nights. I would say it isn’t 5 stars as advertised on on the beach, however we still had a really nice stay. We had a room with a semi private pool, which is shared with a few other rooms, we weren’t expecting this so was a lovely surprise. This is a need if you prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of the main pool, and also means you are guaranteed a sun-bed. Read a few reviews saying the food wasn’t good but I really enjoyed the food. Large variety of choice every night and also good choice at lunch times. They always had a specialty pasta every lunch and dinner and the carbonara was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would come again. Definitely recommend

Just spent one week at this fantastic hotel! Even before the stay, they showed their superb service. I traveled with my mother and wanted to make sure we had two single beds and not a double bed, and was met with understanding and great service.
The area of the hotel is very well kept and you can see that the staff takes pride in keeping it clean and nice for their guests. Even though this is a five star resort, the atmosphere is very laid back and friendly and not "posh".
The animation team is great at keeping up activities for the guests without being too "pushy" on the ones that just want to relax.
The cleaning staff is super, the room was perfectly cleaned every single day!
We had all inclusive, and the variety of the food was excellent and the food was good in most cases, only occasionally something was a bit bland, but that is up to each and everyone's taste. I have no doubt that anyone will be able to find food they like at every single meal! In addition to the buffet, the gyros and pizza was really tasty and easily available.
It is walking distance to the beach, bus to Rhodes and Lindos right outside the hotel, several large super markets and to my great surprise there is no traffic worth mentioning that bothers the guests. The only noise I experienced was a truly eager rooster somewhere close by.
All in all, this week has been about as perfect as I had hoped, and I thank the staff for making it a memorable experience!
