The Hotel is very beautiful! We stayed here 3 times in 5 years. The hotel manager Mr. Nikos Dimitroulis was very hospitable to my family and I! The hotel rooms are very nice. Ours was looking at the ocean for buffets, a day, breakfast, lunch dinner, and a beautiful buffet with fresh pizza, french fries salads, and desserts on the beach. The service was impeccable. John the bartender was very very very good. We rented a car also inside the hotel, the drinks are awesome. The view is awesome. The service is awesome. The rooms are very clean will be back next year. Thank you Olympos Beach!!!!

We were there 7 days with an easyjet holiday package in May.
The rooms were fine but a bit outdated, I think the dates we were there helped us, as the weather was nice, not too hot and not cold, so we had a good night.
The drinks were good, I mean, you won't get black label or cognac in an offer of bottomless drinks.
The pizzas were really tasty and fresh.
The food from the buffet was good, but I found it a bit salty. In the seven days, they tried to vary, but it felt sometimes the same. However, we were wondering around Rhodes, so we didn't have lunch or dinner at the hotel every day.
The beach is next to hotel, some rocks and pebbles, but enough sunbeds.
The bar and food next to the beach were good as well.
There is an ATM just around the corner and the Epsilon shopping centre is right next to the hotel.
Overall, a good place to stay for our May vacations.

After staying at various 4 star hotels I would say overall very good value for money. The food is 5 star, drinks are standard fare, cocktails are awful. Beach snack bar fantastic with lunch buffet meals and fresh pizza which is stunningly good. Pool is freezing

For context, we stayed in a room on the 6th floor with a sea view, all inclusive for 8 days. This was a hotel we were moved to due to the previous hotel overbooking (being told 2 weeks before we were supposed to leave).
Positives:
The staff, as most people say, are incredibly friendly and helpful; no matter what time of the day they always have an answer and a solution for the problems that arise. The main shame is that there were so many problems that came up that the help they gave, whilst good, felt like something that could have been easily anticipated before the problems even arose. This is the same for the animation team, all incredibly nice people when performing or meeting them in the elevator.
The drinks (alcoholic and non) are tasty and bottomless, with the pool & snack bar being open until late in the night anything from a sprite to a Margarita is easy to get. They are also simple, but the variety in the menu is easy to enjoy.
The food is okay (passable, sometimes actually good) depending on the day and what was available. The fact that it's a buffet style makes it easy to personalise what you want and there isn’t any pressure of ‘more expensive’ foods being unavailable, almost everything was continuously refilled throughout the evening. They also have two places to get food (for lunch), the main restaurant and the snack bar down by the beach that have different foods.
The views: with the seaview room the upside was the view - over the endless sea with the beach and on the top floor there was a lot of privacy of people not being able to see you up in your own balcony.
Negatives:
The room: is /old/ and it feels like it; no soundproofing in the rooms (we heard people throwing up all night & the animation team outside doing discos until 11 + PM at night) which made it hard to sleep. The AC works, but is loud and uncomfortable; with no updates from the hotels opening in the 70s! You either have to sacrifice the noise of the AC and sleep in silence, boiling alive under stained sheets, or have the AC on blaring and creaking as if it’s alive. Seeing the hotels on either side in all their glamorous glory, it’s like being the ugly duckling with no chance of becoming a swan after 50 years in the business.
The food: After 3 days it got incredibly boring to have the same variant of salad with meat on the side, desserts that are just drenched in honey or too dry and flavorless it became a huge bore to eat. All the flavors blended into one!
The entertainment: for adults or kids, also made the whole holiday blur into one. Water yoga in the morning, water polo in the afternoon, some form of disco in the evening every single day. The team seems nice enough but if you’re there for longer than 3 days, the repetitiveness (whilst you’re trying to sleep) of YMCA, Dancing Queen and Senorita becomes a maddening background noise.
The pool: No matter what the time of day was, how warm it was outside, the amount of people in the pool was not warm at all. Capping out at a height of 1.3m if you want to swim or do anything other than float around, it becomes almost impossible. Not to mention that you can’t stand in the water on the other side of the pool bar with a drink from said pool bar.
To summarize, the whole thing was okay, not good, not bad, but passable. But for something considered a 4 star hotel, it doesn’t feel like that at all. It’s a 3 star hotel running on the fumes of a 4 star review they probably received years ago.
