Hi Seahunt

We are also going to Kolymbia where are you staying we will be at the Atlantica Imperial from the 8th July.

Cant help with any info though as it is our first time to the area

Hopefully somebody out there can give us both some information.

we go 19 july-3august and we're staying at the kolymbia star.ive been to the hotel website and it looks and sounds ok.its a newish hotel.it will be our first time in rhodes.we usually go to bulgaria or lanza. can't wait in a way but a little nervous for the kids

Kolimbia is now a small resort of package tourist hotels and the usual collection of tavernas (real english breakfasts 5 euros, football bars etc.). A one street resort in this case called Eucalyptus street. There never was a town or village there, just one taverna and a few rooms for rent about 15 years ago. Should be fine for the kids as the beaches are sandy and sheltered, to the south of the headland.

thanks for that ouzo.only 10 days to go

Hi just came back from Kolimbia. The resort is very quiet and is a predominately German and East European. There are a few Brits there, but we are in the minority. Most of the hotels are all inclusive, so there are only a few restaurants and bars outwith the hotels to choose from. Memories bar is well worth a visit however as the staff are entertaining! We stayed in the Marathon Hotel, it was ok and the rooms are spacious and clean however, they don't seem to have a clue about room allocation. We waited over 4 hours to get our room(arrived at 6am, the room was supposed to be ready the night before), there were quite a few others getting messed about and moving rooms three or four times during their stay. On the plus side, the bus service is good with Faliraki, Lindos and Rhodes a short busride away. The beaches are only a few minutes walk awat but the largest is very stoney, but you will have no problems getting a sun bed(3 euro for the day). All-in-all, we had a good time as we wanted a quiet relaxing time. If you want night life and loads of bars, don't go to Kolimbia !

i was impressed with our hotel very friendly staff.mostly foriegn guests which made the activities very interesting.most people got on with each other.the italians were a pain though.loads of sunbeds at the hotels 2 pools. had a great time
