Very lovely hotel. Staff is extremely lovely and helpful. Rooms look really nice and modern. Location is perfect as it is really close to the beach as I’m not a pool person. We were a bit worried when booking our stay because there were quite a few negative reviews, but for us this hotel is really great. We rented a car and every day managed to find parking in front of hotel. When you walk in the hotel you always get this lovely scent which makes you feel welcomed and it is really nice touch. Breakfast buffet has many options and it is quite delicious. The only thing that needs a bit of change is elevators as it is always a wait to get elevator.

It’s not giving 5 stars hotel - maybe 3/4 at a push. So the hotel is more suitable for conferences and events rather than all inclusive guests. The conference guests are given different treatment than “all inclusive guests” - dont have to queue for dinners breakfasts etc. At first when we arrived and I seen my hotel room, I was very upset and disappointed. The pictures of the given room were not advertised anywhere - the lower floors of the hotel are very outdated and the rooms are not nice. Old fashioned furniture, AC which doesnt work, the rooms smelt of mould, mould on the bathroom ceiling, lights and power sockets not working. After complaining through Love Holidays the AC and few other issues were fixed and I decided I wasn’t gonna let this ruin my holiday. I spoke to the reception who said if i wanted a nicer room I have to pay 70 euro extra per night (At the time of the booking through love holidays the upgrade was only £140pp extra so something to consider before you book here) It’s a huge hotel - 17 floors and only 3 (sometimes 2) working lifts which makes it super awkward to get a lift at dinner time breakfast time or check out times. The hotel isn’t bad, there’s just loads of room for improvements which I hope will be implemented sooner or later. Pros: - Food was good (especially dinners) - every night it’s different, seafood greek food italian mexican etc. - Cocktails are good (but some are not included in the all inclusive package) - The arcade was our favourite part - there’s a bar there pool table tv’s to watch live sport etc. The bartenders there are lovely :) - Sun loungers are very comfy (some are broken so be aware) - Great location - very central to Rhodes Old Town, with a taxi rank nearby, a bus stop etc. - Indoor pool area at the Dome is nice (the pool is heated and the sun loungers there are very comfortable) Cons: - The standard rooms are AWFUL - very outdated, bathroom had mould on the ceiling, the room smelt mouldy, AC not working - the lifts - not enough to serve all guests, expect queues! - queues for breakfast / dinners - although it gets super busy there it does move fast. - it’s hard to get a sun loungers by the main pool after 10am - some staff in the main restaurant were not nice and ignored us - you have to pay for stuff from the mini bar in your room which is a bit bizzare (for an all inclusive hotel) - the pool water is FREEZING!! - you have to pay tax of 15 euro per day at the time of the check in (paying for a 5 star hotel but the hotel is actually giving 3/4 star vibes) - beach is 2 min walk and it’s nice there - however you have to pay for sun loungers there. My advice would be to try and upgrade your room at the time of the booking - don’t go for the standard option as you will be disapppointed.

I want to give a honest review of this lovely 5 star hotel ! Please ignore all the bad reviews , I want to be entirely truthful so that everyone knows this hotel is truly one of the best! I’ve stayed in many hotels around the world, as I travel a lot in general. The staff at this hotel and the entertainment team , especially Florian, Mafalda, Dragos, and the lady who worked with the kids in mini disco were all incredibly cheerful, energetic, and kind. We all really like them all ! The kids’ mini club was excellent, and our children really enjoyed their time at the hotel. The food and desserts changed every day, with a wide variety and delicious flavors We also saw one of the best shows and performances at this hotel , it was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere and vibe of the hotel were fantastic, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you to all the hotel staff who made this one of the best holidays we’ve ever had!

Sadly my company booked this hotel without knowledge of what to expect - this is a 3 star all-inclusive resort (hell), masquerading as a 5 star hotel. I have stayed at many 5 star hotels including some palaces as well as some family run 2 star hotels. This hotel definitely doesn’t resemble in any way, shape or form the former, and even the latter is better. 5 star hotels are qualified by their service, of which there is none here. All 3 of my colleagues were put into what I believe to be more premium rooms. I was put into a wing 10 min walk from the reception. The room hasn’t been renovated in 50 years since the hotel opened; the curtains are filthy and derelict hanging off the rod. When I tried calling after check in, to address the plastic remains that hadn’t been cleaned off the floor, the reception hung up on me three times (basically the phones to those room no longer work). I had to go all the way back down to raise the concerns and was told to come back in the morning. My “garden view” consists of the resort’s pool and the top of the restaurant roof. Going for breakfast is walking into a huge buffet breakfast (eggs are from caged hens and there is no Greek breakfast food except some kalamata paste) and being charged for an espresso on top of the breakfast charge. Unheard of in a 5 star hotel. Meanwhile the restaurant is cleaned by an army of maids, while you eat breakfast. I could go on but I have wasted enough time. Come here if all inclusive resorts and 3 star services are your sort of thing; otherwise steer clear

Nice place. A bit tired looking in places. The dome is a weird structure the feels like its left over from a 70s James Bond set. The pools were great, but if you want a sun lounger. You have be one of those people that get there early with your towels to claim one. We were in an apartment on an All Inclusive Plus package which means a daily restock of the complimentary mini fridge. We stayed a week and despite a few bedding and towel changes, the fridge was never topped up. The rooms air conditioning was almost non existent. Nothing was supplied to allow drying off swimwear etc. Maybe if you had a balcony but we were ground floor. Heading back to Rhodes next year, but think we will give Rodos Palace a miss.
