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 .

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!
