I have just come back from the Hotel Pine trees and here is my report:

Greeted in reception at 4 am rhodes time by George, very friendly part owner (with wife) of the Hotel. Was very Helpful.

Rooms consist of: 2 Twin beds, kettle, Coffee table, dressing table built in wardrobes. Shower room including toilet and washbasin very tidy and cleaned every day apart from sundays. Very basic no fridge but its is only a 1 star and this encourages you to buy drinks which helps the hotle stay in business so have no complaints there.

George does the 10pm-9am shift, Mama (Georges mom - not much english) does breakfast in the morning, bread roll cheese and ham with marmalade, orange juice and either a cup of coffee or tea. You can buy an english breakfast which is served all day fo E4.50 - the food is generally very good at the hotel but basic. And Mary (Georges' wife) and Illios (son) do the day shift. They make the holiday even better and will cook anytime and bar is open till everyone is ready for bed.

Swiming pool is awesome! Just the right size for the hotel (20 rooms) and enough sun loungers/parasols too.

10 minute walk down road with no path so take a torch for nights, to get to the main road into ixia with bars and restaraunts very well priced. Only other slight negative, if you dont have the air con then rooms get very hot so have to open balcony door hotel is situated on a busy road and car noise can be heard until 2/3 am.

George was asked by another guest why the Hotel is only a 1 Star as could easily be a 2 if not 3 if Air con was included in price (E45 per week otherwise) and the only reason is that they have to pay more tax if they upgrade - no need.

Overall great time had, 8/10 willdefinatley go back!
