Lindos Village Resort & Spa - Adults Only

Food and Dining: Guests enjoyed the variety of food options, particularly at the a la carte restaurants and breakfast buffet. Vegan and gluten-free options were appreciated, and the quality of Mediterranean dishes was often highlighted as a standout feature.

This is definitely not a 5* hotel. Upon arrival we thought we had hit the nail on the head with the hotel when walking into the lobby. However, once we got to the room it’s a different story. The room isn’t the cleanest, the headboard lights didn’t work, the shower doesn’t have a shower guard so the bathroom floods and the drains are clogged so it doesn’t drain that well. We had problems with ants and Beatles coming into the room because there is a big gap under the door. The balcony didn’t have a divider wasn’t that high so you could see into the ones next to you which made us not want to sit out there when there were other people out there as it was awkward. We paid €40 each for dinner which didn’t include drinks at the main restaurant and the food was absolutely shocking. It was cheaper and nicer for us to go and eat out. Breakfast was ok tho. The air con was making my nose blocked and stuffy and then started leaking quite a bit which was creating a puddle on the floor. We sent a message to them and they asked us if we wanted them to get housekeeping to clean it up… we told them it would still be leaking so they finally got maintenance to come and fix it. Once fixed my nose was completely fine. All housekeeping do during your stay is make the bed and change the bins so by the end of the week the floor was filthy. On our final day we got given a courtesy room to use, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Tried using the hairdryer to dry my hair and it cut out on me after 1 minute of using it so I just had to let my hair dry naturally Wouldn’t recommend, wouldn’t go back, not worth the money.

To the point, 7 night stay, what you really need to know: location: Top of a mountain so down hill going anywhere uphill coming back (keep this in mind) Plenty of steps to get anywhere inside and outside the hotel so don’t forget anything in your room. On site market managed by a very rude lady and very expensive only use it if you have to, there is a supermarket about a 30min walk which is very good but a long walk back with or without shopping. There is a hotel shuttle (golf buggy’s) that will take you down to the beach at set times, they will not adjust times whatever the issue, this is a 5min journey however I wouldn’t advise you walking it in the heat. Lindos old town: Nice place about 10mins in a taxi (€13-15 one way) which you can ask the hotel reception to book, you will be given a number so when the taxi arrives the driver should ask you for it so you know it’s your taxi, I’ll say no more about this system, Lindos town is very old with very narrow streets, plenty of restaurants and shops with people outside touting for business, shops are all much the same, you would think expensive however you can get a taxi to Rhodes old town (which is nice) from the hotel (€60-70) 1hr drive or you can hire a car from Drive Car rental near one of the sister hotels reached by buggy (€65) per day so you do the maths, prices are much the same in Rhode's the Australian gentleman at Drive car rental is great! Food: Not exactly 5* but 5* prices, €40 each for buffet dinner, the on site posher restaurant was actually cheaper. Food was ok not that special but fine, plenty of choice. Staff: All staff very nice and helpful, bellhop's, restaurant and main bar staff, nothing is or was too much trouble. SPA: Steer clear is my advice, My wife and two daughters visited this facility and had nothing good to say about it, over priced, hidden charges, rude and unprofessional, don’t think it is run by the hotel, sub contracted out. Pool: Plenty of sun lounges and parasols, no early morning towel stampedes, staff ok some waiters a bit nonchalant. Entertainment: Music of some sort every night, some good some not so good, although the noise from sister hotels (kids and family’s shouting out and taking part in whatever etc) next door can be annoying at times. Overall: If you’re on a budget this hotel is not for you as you could find it very expensive as you would expect at a 5* hotel, Lindos Royal hotel next door is all inclusive and nearer the beach. Plenty of stairs and lifts I would add when they are working, lots of walk ways so you will get lost very easy. All staff we came into contact with were very helpful and a pleasure to talk to. Room cleaned daily.
