Lindos Gardens Resort Complex

Great experience as two 26 year old females. We knew this wasn’t a 5 star resort so adjusted our expectations accordingly. As a “couple”, we used the adults only infinity pool most days and it was bliss. We noted the no sunbed reserving rule but a couple of days we put them down whilst we went for breakfast and they weren’t removed, this pool never got full and there was always plenty of sunbeds so I highly recommend using it and not the main pool if you don’t have kids. We did have a large walk uphill to our room but there are 2 lifts before that. We stayed in 23F which had recently been refurbished and it was lovely! So modern and clean and a lovely balcony view of the acropolis, I would definitely recommend this room if you can request. The views and the staff are something I cannot fault HOWEVER there are some things they could improve. The breakfast is adequate, the quality of the food itself is more than OK but the options are very minimal so bear that in mind. You can order from the full English option or continental but that is it, you can “customise” your order to an extent but it is quite a basic breakfast, however very adequate. A buffet option would be much better as they do have the space. My only other complaint would be the charge for wifi and aircon. We paid around €65 for the 6 days we were there which was a bit annoying, I feel that aircon should be included especially in a country this hot but just an additional expense to bear in mind, however it wasn’t the end of the world. The WiFi was €4 a day. We didn’t pay for this and just used our roaming but the signal is poor, just keep that in mind. We barely got signal in our rooms but most other places were okay. The infinity adults only pool was slightly more on the expensive side and you aren’t allowed to bring your own food/drinks but as long as you do purchase from the bar occasionally I do think they turn a blind eye to bringing your own water etc. Over all we had a great experience, the staff are lovely and really helpful and the location was great, the walk into lindos isn’t as bad as it seems as well as going back up the hill if you have basic fitness.

Arrived at 1am, charged 50 euros per room, must be cash by nights manager that needed a little more customer service training. That said we appreciate that’s a tough job to do. Air conditioning and WiFi extras, neither of which worked well and slightly underhand tactics to exploit a few extra euros at each opportunity. Check out felt aggressive around extra costs, we needed one room a little longer but felt again a little exploited for a few euros. If it doesn’t make sense to the customer and you cannot explain it then don’t try it on. Lindos is fantastic and the hotel ok but went away after 35 years of visiting with mixed feelings about the silly extras. Just stick it on the rooms and you’ll do so much better. Great WiFi keeps your guests happy and spending in site, air conditioning will have them eating more food. We own a hotel and know it’s hard work which is why it’s important to set the culture for your staff, the staff generally were very good, think the owner is setting the culture which is making it difficult for the team.

This hotel has potential thanks to its excellent dinner service, clean rooms, and a great infinity pool. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by hidden costs, ineffective air conditioning, noise issues, and inconsistent service. Until the management addresses these concerns and improves transparency, I would not return. Positives: Dinner: High-quality meals with generous portions and friendly, attentive staff. Infinity Pool: Peaceful atmosphere, always sunbeds available, friendly bar service. Variety of Pools: Family pool, kids’ pool, and infinity pool offer options for all ages. Cleanliness: Rooms kept clean, though showing signs of wear. Bar Pricing: Drinks reasonably priced (e.g., €4 for a bottle of beer). Negatives: Noise Issues: Significant disturbance on arrival; only resolved after contacting Jet2 representative. Noise returned on the final day. Air Conditioning: €160 for 12 days, poorly functioning, noisy, and required constant adjustment. Hidden Charges: Wi-Fi (€15 per device), safe (extra charge), no complimentary water at breakfast (€1–€1.50 per bottle), late check-out (€7/hour), gym shower use (€5). Sunbed Reservations: No enforcement against guests reserving sunbeds early and leaving. Comfort: Rooms significantly hotter than outside without air conditioning; dated and uncomfortable sunbeds in some pool areas. Lighting: Key-card-controlled electricity means no lighting when unlocking doors at night without a torch. On arrival, check-in was straightforward, but I was immediately asked if I wanted air conditioning for €160 (12 days). Initially, I declined. Upon returning from town, I discovered an extremely loud noise outside my room, making it impossible to sleep. Reception offered no solution other than staying in the lobby. I had no rest that night. The issue was eventually resolved by the Jet2 representative the following morning. Meals were mixed: breakfast was acceptable but lacked basics like complimentary water, which was instead sold for €1 in the morning and €1.50 in the evening. Dinner, however, was a highlight with large portions and friendly servers. The room was clean but worn, and without air conditioning it was 20°C hotter than outside, forcing me to pay the high fee for it. Even then, the unit was damaged, noisy, and ineffective without constant adjustments. The hotel has three pools. The family pool is large but suffers from guests reserving all sunbeds early without using them. I resorted to the children’s pool on day one and later discovered the well-maintained infinity pool, which became my preferred spot. Late check-out was another frustration: rooms must be vacated by 12 pm, with an hourly extension fee of €7. If no extension is possible, using the gym showers costs €5. Conclusion: While the hotel offers some enjoyable features, its reliance on numerous additional charges and lack of enforcement on guest behaviour undermines the overall experience. Transparent pricing, improved facilities (especially

The bad Horrible English woman on reception, ridiculous 130 euros for 10 nights aircon, £15 per week per item for wifi, which is useless, no toaster no microwave in self catering apartment which is a bit silly. Need to be up early for sunbed, 6:30am some were putting towels out. Get by all that and this hotel is great, maid service is great, towels changed every day, bins emptied every day, sheets changed once a week, we had the 1 bedroom apartment which was great with a balcony overlooking pool, all staff great apart from reception woman mentioned earlier. Hotel spotlessly clean, great greek night on a Monday night, restaurant reasonably priced for breakfast dinner and evening meal. Would stay again if aircon included and wifi issues sorted.
