Rimondi Grand Hotel & Spa Resort

James Fielden

RG Village Hotel is a fascinating place if you’ve ever wondered what happens when “all-inclusive” is treated as a creative writing exercise. The area is lovely, and the bar and restaurant staff were genuinely friendly and hardworking. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the management and reception team, who often seemed annoyed that guests existed at all. Several things advertised before arrival had mysteriously disappeared by the time we got there, and there always seemed to be another little charge waiting around the corner. “All-inclusive” comes with more terms and conditions than you’d expect. The evenings were very quiet, with little entertainment or much to do. My personal highlight was paying extra for a late checkout and then being told my suitcase couldn’t be left where the security camera could see it and had to be hidden around the corner instead. An interesting approach to security. Overall, the location deserves far better than the hotel. It felt like a business focused on extracting every extra euro while providing the bare minimum in return. I won’t be returning, and I’d recommend others read the reviews carefully before booking.

We visited Rimondi Grand Resort in September as a couple and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with lovely surroundings and a calm, relaxing atmosphere – perfect for a peaceful getaway. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. The staff was extremely polite and always willing to help. The food was of very good quality, with a nice variety of options and delicious flavors. We especially enjoyed the spa and the pool area, which were quiet and ideal for relaxation. We would definitely choose this hotel again for a romantic escape! Thank you

So weve just returned from our holiday. First of all we'd like to say ALL the staff were great! We had absolutely no issues with any staff, including reception where the girls were lovely. Its almost a 2hr bus trip from the airport. HIRE A CAR!!!! you will NEED IT!!!! So first of all the shocker of the tourist tax with an upfront £100 cash payment on arrival.... the hotel is 'classed' 5*... (The 5* only has to recognise what they have on site, ie gym, spa, shop, pools etc) Our room was a 3* at best. Nice view. Good placing (considering the hills) unfortunately our bathroom smelt like a sewer as soon as you went in. The hotel is so far out there are no shops, bars or restaurants in Walking distance. I dont know how anyone on half board or self catering would manage and no pre-warning offered at reception. We only found out on day 2 of the bus trips to 'the beach'...(we walked the 1hr to the beach which was a 💩hole, and found a used condom on the beach) we didn't stay and never ventured that way again... But we also found out they had a bus to the main resort of rethymeyno which cost €11each , but it was fully booked up, we only managed to get on the bus on day 5 and 6... we were starving ( fed up of all inclusive day 2, foods poor) otherwise a taxi was around €45 one way, so a trip to town would literally cost just under €100.. We thought as an all inclusive resort that regular shuttles should be regular and free to ALL guests, regardless off their packages.. and nothing was pre mentioned by the hotel or easyjet prior to our stay. No entertainment on the resort whatsoever. Same droll music played by the pool, then when we went to the bar in the evening, they played a depressing Adele album which killed the holiday vibe. No all inclusive restaurants to choose/book/ dine in. Bored with all inclusive by day 2. No kids menu. No ice cream No snacks No burgers no fries... Boring buffet day after day, I filled my bowl to feed the cats and lost weight last week. Drinks quality very poor. No shorts, vodka etc before 7pm. Beers poor low quality, avoid the wine and cocktails are made from a machine and poured into a plastic cup... No milk available in rooms for coffees, but we are given a litre bottle of water on arrival and are advised on fill up points around the resort! The chill out area around the main bar pool is very nice, but at certain points, there's a pungent smell of sewerage coming from under the bar/hotel area, when most people exited the area. Its a shame, the hotel is apparently advertised as 'peaceful ' unfortunately I left it to my husband to book and read the reviews on day 2. Theres absolutely nothing around the hotel, you will be stuck there or need a vast amount of money for taxis to get out of there. I came home with an eye infection and a chest infection on what was meant to be a relaxing holiday. The hotel could do so much better but are extorting fares on what should be regular shuttle rides to the main towns due to lack of anything at the hotel. Very dissapointing stay tbh. Wouldn't recommend for kids, elders, youngsters or couples. We missed the opportunity opportunity a to hire a car at the airport and that was a grave mistake.

We’ve stopped here twice and really enjoyed both times. If you want a quiet and relaxing place away from the city, this is definitely it. I will admit that it’s not for everyone (like a party kind of place) but if you are seeking the above, it’s hard to be disappointed. The location is a bit of a catch-22. On the one hand yes you are a bit far out which makes venturing out a little tricky (though very doable). However the advantage is that it’s quiet. The rooms were clean both times and the house keeping service (which you have to book online when you want a clean done) was always thorough and quality. The food seems to be a bone of contention but honestly we never had trouble. It does revolve around the same sort of thing each day but there’s always variety to be had and in the main the food is nice. The pools are also great - they are cold, yes, but when you’re in the sun all day they’re a welcome relief when you get in. It is also worth remembering that 5 stars in the hotel world means its to do with the level of service the hotel can offer (like a spa, dry cleaning etc). The more services, the higher the stars. It’s a sprawling place and there is loads here. My only critic is that what they offer should be signposted more.

hotel invisible, poorly marked, almost without a sign. the rooms are very modest for a 5-star hotel, the fridge defrosts without the key. The food is hopeless, the soups are disgusting. Receptionists unpleasant and unhelpful. The floors in the rooms were not washed. The nicest person was the bartender Kostadina♥️
