Rhodes Bay Hotel & Spa

Deborah Sharp

We booked a deluxe forest view room, as it was my 60th birthday we got upgraded to a deluxe sea view room, with a bottle of sparkling wine. Food was plentiful with a great choice always hot. Staff were polite and friendly. Very clean in all areas. Bedroom was adequate with a very large comfortable bed there was no dressing table so doing hair and make-up was a little difficult. Entertainment was very very poor all acts were inside on floor 11, most people want to sit outside but there was not enough seating. The only evening there was really good singers outside was when the female relatives dined in the Italian restaurant. We went to the Italian restaurant no menu you had to do the QR code which did not download properly so there was a poor choice. Went to the spa for a price list again QR code. Everywhere you went you had to download. Had to vacate our room at 12pm did not get picked up until 7.20pm 145 euros to keep the room, this is far too expensive. Used the spa to shower and change they provided a towel. Been to a lot of 5 star hotels this is not it is more 4 star, we paid £3400 for 10 days did not get what we were expecting.

It's a 5 star rated but felt more like 4 stars to me. The "deluxe room" was pretty standard fare. Reasonable size, 3 small drawers and an open area to hang clothes. The shower was over the bath with no anti-slip aid. I almost slipped over 2 or 3 times and ended up showering on my knees! There's a gym and spa and an indoor pool (the outdoor one was mostly unusable because of the weather). Reception was very nice but the place felt soulless. It's not all bad. The food was mostly excellent, with veggie options marked 95% of the time and the restaurant staff were really great (except the 1 waitress who kept clearing my table every time I went to get more food😒). A bus stop right outside the hotel to get into Rhodes and back in 10-15 minutes meant it was well placed. Restaurants and bars (mostly closed in early April) were within a 10 minute walk if you don't choose the all-inclusive option. Would I stay again? I'm not sure if I would. Certainly I wouldn't pay for all-inclusive again as a total waste of money, maybe half board.

Currently staying at the hotel, all the employees are amazing. They all work so hard to make the guests feel so welcome. Extra special thanks to Audrey on reception desk, she is so helpful and fun. Also Katie at the Guest Relations desk, her vast knowledge & recommendations were brilliant.

Stayed here for 8 nights, got back a few days ago. First of all i’d just like to say that the hotel was very aesthetically pleasing, especially the restaurant on the top floor where the buffet is, the views are great especially at sunset. The adult pool was lovely but only a few sun beds so got to be up early to get a bed! Also the pool on the 11th floor was really nice as well. The first 2 nights we had the room above us banging, jumping around and shouting and screaming until 4am, called up the reception multiple times but they didn’t do anything about it so we were just kept awake for hours, we asked to change rooms the next morning but we were told they were leaving on our third day which they did. This was just unlucky, could have happened anywhere i suppose. We went half board so took out a load of cash thinking we could pay for our drinks with the cash, but the hotel bars and restaurants don’t take cash at all, they either charge it to your room or card payment there and then, we took hundreds in cash and weren’t able to use it unless we went off site and spent it. If we knew this then we wouldn’t have taken as much cash as we did, couldn’t see anything about this when booking. If you’re looking for good entertainment don’t bother going here as there is naff all going on. literally so boring in the evenings, the only night they had decent entertainment was the night that one of the owners and their family came in funnily enough. Most of the staff were lovely but a few grumpy and unhelpful ones here and there but again you would expect this at any hotel i suppose. Overall I wouldn’t come back to this hotel but if you’re looking at booking i would definitely go all inclusive because the drinks were unbelievably expensive, its worth paying more when booking, you will save overall doing this!

Hotel was quite nice, more 4 🌟 than 5 🌟. Not a lot going on for children. Food was ok with a lot of choice. We went B&B so only ate breakfast in the hotel. Room was ok and had everything we needed. View from room 1449 was very nice on clear days and the sunset from the balcony was lovely. All staff very friendly. I would avoid buying anything from the shop that is on site. We paid about 16€ for a teddy and all the back split (within 12 hours). We was told no refund was available because we bought it the day before (again around 12 hours before). No help and zero interest in helping which is not what you expect on a 5 star resort. Would I stay here again? Probably not even though I enjoyed the stay it was lacking atmosphere in and around the hotel.
