Elysium Resort & Spa

This was so amazing hotel! Great swimming pool and close to the beach! Highly recommend

The perfect resort, quality services, helpful and always smiling staff, amazing food. We had appreciated the high level of hygiene, every corner of the location is impecably clean. The Rhodos town is just a stone's throw away and the bus station is in front of the hotel. Our thanks to the restaurant staff ( Ms. Marilena and her helpers are exceptional professionals), to the cleaning staff (every day our room was spotless clean), to the beach staff (very helpful). We hope to come back next year.

Excellent service,nice room,calmness and wonderful sea side and sea view. The cleaning of the room could be better ,as well as, the food at the Noble restaurant where the quantity and the quality of the food was not as expected.

We stayed at the Elysium for 7 nights, Canadian family of four with teens and we stayed club level. This will be a lengthy review but I hope it’s helpful. Pool and beach: Beach was absolutely amazing and perfect. It’s a pebble beach which we’ve never experienced before but loved it. The water was perfect temperature and so clear. The hotel keeps floaties that other guests leave behind so just ask rather than buying your own. Water shoes are a must. Goggles and snorkel gear are a good idea if you like that kind of thing. We’ve stayed at many glorious beach resorts in the Caribbean and this was by far our favorite beach of all time. Pool is also fantastic. It was very busy around the pool but we always managed to find an umbrella and beds even by 11am. Definitely go early if you want a specific spot. It looked like there were rooms that opened to a closed off section of the pool deck, reserved for people in just those rooms. I don’t remember seeing these as options when we booked but if we ever went back, I would definitely try to stay in one of those rooms. Restaurants: We found the restaurants to be overpriced and underwhelming. We ate at the Emerald buffet only once and had dinner at Fresh once. Both are quite expensive especially Emerald. $30 euro for my 13 year old daughter who eats like a bird. Fresh atmosphere is lovely. Half of their menu is meat that you cook yourself on a hot plate they bring you. We thought it was odd. Great service, though! We ate at the beach restaurant for lunch 3 times. The menu is simple and the food fine but it was fairly priced and convenient. Overall, the dining at the Elysium was our least favorite part but luckily we had a car and ate elsewhere for lunches and dinners. Which brings to my next point…. Get a car! So glad we had one. We saved hundreds by driving to nearby snorkel spots rather than taking a group tour. We also saved by eating offsite than at the pricey (and mediocre) hotel restaurants. Club level: We stayed club level and I’m still not sure it was worth it. The lounge was the worst club level lounge I’ve ever visited (amenity-wise). Self service drinks were fine (sparkling wine, water, Fanta, coke, coffee) but the snacks were VERY limited. Some fruit, some spring rolls. They have a sign saying that all food and drinks must stay in the lounge but we took drinks away and no one ever said a word to us. The staff working the club level lounge are wonderful and helpful. Having breakfast on the upper floor was also a highlight. I suppose it was worth it for the breakfast and helpful staff alone. It would have been great if there was a pool lounger section just for club level. That would put it over the top! Room: Our sea-view superior rooms were lovely and spacious. Very comfortable beds and bedding. Tons of storage space, large balconies. Loved that the bathroom was split - one room for the toilet and sink and the other for a larger sink and shower/tub. Only

Elysium is simply amazing – beautiful location right on the beach, spotless rooms with stunning views, and a lovely pool area. Breakfast is fresh and delicious with plenty of choice. Staff are friendly and make everything easy. Can’t wait to come back!
