Hi
Still trying to decide where to stay on Rhodes next year (2010)....
We are now looking at the Kalithea Horizon Royal hotel (at Kalithea)..
From the description of the hotel, it is paired with its sister hotel, the
Kalithea Mare, within large extensive grounds near to the/a beach near Kalithea Springs.
The hotel itself looks and reads fantasticand just what our doctor ordered.
Unfortunately, having read some reviews, it seems there may have been
a salmonella problem in the past, which may/may not have been attributed to the
hotel or perhaps the nearby sea water.
Recent reviews do not confirm this and during 2009 visits there is nothing but praise for
the hotel.
Whilst further investigating the hotel on Google maps, the Kalithea Horizon Royal
does not appear to have yet been built, whilst the 'Mare' does show up on the
satalite image.
Next to the 'Mare' complex there seems to be a 'sewage works' which raises a little
concern over the usual......smell, leakage into the sea etc.
There is no mention, as far as I have found, of these works in any of the reviews,
although there is one mention of sewage smells within the 'Horizon'.
Am I right in identifying the Horizon/Mare at this location and has anyone experienced any
such sewage work problems.
Any information on this or the hotel complex would be gratefully received
thank you

i dont know that area but ..yes that looks like a sewage treatment plant and as for the hotel you cant trust google on locations i think you will find its the horshoe shape building just to the south east of the other two
Thanks for that.
To try and identify the area, I have not used any of the Google markers
matched into the hotels location.
Rather, I have looked at the 'Mare' website, got an idea of the shape of the hotel,
especially the swimming pool and used that to identify the location by
scanning the Google maps coastline.
As I say, the 'Horizon' doesn't look as if it has been built, but the shape of the
'Mare' pool seems to match.

i had to down load google earth to see so i decided to check on the hotel im going to in cyprus [i know its location] and google had it listed in 3 diffrent places 1] where it is 2] in the middle of a field 5km from where it is & 3] in a completly diffrent town
Friends just back from Kalithea Horizon in May and have nothing but praise for this hotel, so much so they have already booked to go back May 2010 and so have we!!! Thay said it was wonderful
Thanks for that.....
I don't suppose they mentioned anything about any sewage works close by
did they?
If so and it wasn't an issue, then that is fine by me.
We are probably looking at booking this hotel for next year ourselves, but are
currently torn between this one and the Aquis Aghios Gordios Beach Hotel in Corfu.
Both have similar outlooks (built on/into cliffs overlooking the sea etc)
Having read somewhere in a review regarding sewage smell etc, we just need to
firm up whether this is a real issue or not at the Kalithea Horizon?
Can I be a pain and ask you to enquire of them please?

They never had any nasty whiffs!!!
Their photos are fab, just like postcards. They booked superior room. We have too for an extra £56 for the week. You get wonderful liquer coffees after dinner!! You get one night in a-la-carte restaurant.
They went early May and it was easy to get sunbed. We have booked mid May next year.
I can't stop looking at the photos of it!!!!
Funny enough my friends are looking for a holiday for Aug/Sept and have narrowed search down to include the very same hotel you mentioned in Corfu. Must have same taste!!!
Thanks for that info...
It seems we may be going there then.
We are off the Skiathos in a couple of weeks, so we shall see
about booking when we get back.
Thanks again for your input. If anything else crops up that you
hear about, please let me know.
I shall still be monitoring the site.
Regards
TrevG
