We were amazed at how friendly and helpfull ALL of the staff were, especially the restaurant staff! The food was great too with a good variety every day, from breakfast through to the evening meal.
We enjoyed the entertainment every nite, after all, if you want Broadway quality shows, go to Broadway, not a familly hotel!
The only down side to this hotel is its location, it's a bit of a hike to get into the main parts of the resort but as I said, we enjoyed the entertainment in the hotel so we didn't venture very far in the evenings.

The hotel was very clean and remained clean throughout our stay. I am a very fussy mum when it comes to my children and I can honestly say I was very comfortable. Our room was a Junior Suite having 2 levels, even though there were stairs leading you from your living area to the bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor there was a gate to prevent younger children from falling. We had a sea view and a pool view.
The hotel boasts a fantastic pool with plenty of sunbeds and space.
We stayed all inclusive and used all 3 eateries daily. Even though the food was buffet style not one occasion was that food cold or undercooked. However if there had of been any problem with the food the staff would have dealt with it immediately as they could not do enough for you. Our children made good use of the ice creams and drinks as we did alcholic drinks. During our stay we celebrated our childrens birthdays and for a small charge they provided us with balloons and 2 delicious personalised cakes for both days and made our children feel very special.
We travelled with First Choice. Every member of the team based there including Mary the rep. and Sunny Sarah the kids club rep were amazing. The entertainment was great and in fact that by the 2nd or 3rd day they knew your names made it all the more personal.
As a family we had such a great time and would go back there again.

The hotel was spotless and the cleaning staff seemed to work all day cleaning different areas to a very high standard
The food was excellent with plenty of choice and lots of it.
The location was not the best if you like a busy surrounding area, but reception had no trouble in getting a taxi if you wanted to go further afield or there was the mini train right outside the door.
The staff are first rate very friendly, very joyful and always willing to have a laugh and joke very very profesional.
The Animation Team.... These people work so had to make the holiday fun I would like to give a big thank you to:- Lele, Dimi, Jacopo, Tijana and Guilia our holiday would not have been the same without you. Always a big thanks to the First Choice crew Joe, Moira and Jess..... my daughter loved you all xx

Hotel staff were friendly and courteous.
Food was plentiful,cooked well and hot and even my fussy 13 year always found something he liked and was willing to try new things.
Not much for teenagers to do in the evening but computers were available in the reception area - what would they do without MSN!!
Pool area was clean and spotless and the trees at the end of the pool were a welcome relief when the sun became too hot. Beach towels are provided.

We stayed in one of the apartments across the road from the main hotel complex which we did not find a problem. Our first floor apartment was very spacious, on opening the front door, the bathroom was located firstly on the right hand side before going into a kitchen area with dining room table and chairs and sofa beds which lead out on to a small balcony. From the lounge area stairs led upstairs to a bedroom which had a TV with limited channels and looked out over the downstairs and it had a King Size bed. The apartment was cleaned frequently and towels changed every day.
The hotel area was very clean and the choice of food at all meal times was excellent, very much approved of by my 11 year old twins and 14 year old daughter. You had to queue to order your drinks and then queue again to collect them, it appeared to work well.
The pool area is very spacious and there are certain areas around the pool where you can get some shade under the trees at different times of the day but there was normally a little breeze going. The hotel provided towels for pool use but guests were 'grabbing' sunbeds very early in the morning. I was up one morning at half past 6 and all the poolside ones were gone but another morning when we did not get to the pool until 11am we still got a bed, I did find the sun beds very cramped as was the tables and chairs near to the bar where the evening entertainment was held. The Entertainment was something else, you had to give them 100% for effort, some of it was OK, some of it I won't bother mention!!

The hotel was extremely impressive and very well presented
Food was great- however we missed the Greek food as it catered for an international audience (kebabs once a week!!)
Location was the only downside- it is stuck out of the way so if you want to explore it is not really suitable
Staff first class
Entertainment was first class- a it like euro trash every day but this appealed to me!
I have already booked for next year!

Upgraded to all inclusive on the second day 2 adults 1 child (7yrs) 555 euros (would recommend this and its well worth the money).
All the staff are brilliant and cant do enough for you, lead by the hotel manager who leads by example and is hands on...
The entertainment by the animation team (who tired me out just watching them) they all give 120%. The rooms are well equipped, bigger than average very clean plus air con (a must in July).
Our first time in Rhodes but would visit again always a breeze so it isnt too hot..
Would definitley recommend this hotel.

Having been All Inclusive for many years, the standard of food and drink choices was superb. Definately the best we've stayed at. No matter what time you arrive for a meal, there was always plenty left and it was hot ! Different themed meals every evening. But men beware - LONG TROUSERS ONLY ! This seemed a little silly as the women were allowed to wear anything and some skirts left little to the imagination !
The hotel is extremely clean and the staff are constantly dusting and cleaning.
The First Choice kids club was great for our daughter (12) as they took them on trips outside the hotel and on day excursions to other beaches.
The animation team work 20 hours a day and seem to get little support from the guests. How difficult must it be to keep British, French, German, Italians, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish customers happy? Dimitri, Jakob, Lara and Manuela deserve the medals !
The hotels is advertised as having an full day and night entertainment programme and this is what you get ! We didn't participate for the first few days, but once we did, we met lots of new guests and had a really good time.
There were quite a few children at the hotel, even though it's not school holidays in the UK. But the children did tend to stay in the shallow end of the pool, which allowed the adults to swim in the deep end.
All in all, we had a great time, met some fantastic people and have great memories. However, we wouldn't return to Rhodes, as there was not much to see or do outside the resort except a few beaches and ruins.
