We arrived in the early hours of the morning to be greeted by the suposed "grumpy night man" but found him to be rather pleasant and helpful.
We were in C block on the ground floor which, ok didn't have great views but to be honest how much time do you spend in your room?
I think however I would have asked to be moved if we'd been put in E block as this was right next to the noisy entertainement.
My 18 month old daughter would not have been able to sleep and to be honest niether would I.
"A" block has the best views yes but is a longer walk from the pool should you forget anything.
The beach was lovely if a little short but the man in charge of the loungers was a pest! It's 4 euros a day for a sun longer but we got by with out one as a towel on the beach was fine and our daughter wanted to be in the sea all the time any way. WARNING
Be very careful on the steps down to the beach. The guy in charge of loungers for some reason feels the need to wash the steps, wich makes them realy slippery. My husband was carrying our daughter and slipped falling down at least 6 steps if not more. Luckily he managed to save her from injury but was quite badly hurt himself. Instead of helping the sunbed man just kept washing his feet with the hose pipe wich was a bit daft since this was the reason my husband slipped in the first place.
The maid service was excellent and our maid was particularly nice and made a great deal of fuss over our daughter. The food was realy good for lunches but avoid the continental breakfast as this consisted of a small hard fairy cake and two slices of processed cheese much to my mothers amusement. Stick to the English breakies they were great (though we had better in Lindos but obviously you can't go there every day)
Entertainment what can I say? The Greek night was brilliant and Costas (also the barman) was realy good. I would say avoid the rest unless you like the chavy kind of entertainment you'd find at Butlins. This was a good family resort but there are alot of weddings so be aware of large groups of "lads" around thier Stag nights. Some of the poolside language was a bit ripe for younger children but that was the English people, not the hotels fault.
The hotel it's self was a 5 minute walk from the main strip of pefkos where there were a fabulous choice of tavernas. My advice would be to avoid Enigma and head next door to the "Smile Garden" The staff were realy friendly, the food superb and a free shot at the end of you meal made you feel realy welcome.
Make sure you visit Lindos as early as possible before the tours get there it's aboout 7 Euros by Taxi and beautiful.
Also the Rhodes by Latern tour was brilliant I'd recomend it.

We were put in B block and had a nice sea view.
Apartment was spacious and bathroom was vey good with a
hair dryer and modern shower.
Kitchen although never used was very well kept with fridge/freezer , toaster , kettle etc..
Snack bar served full english breakfast up to 4 pm and was cheap.
Only 65 steps to the beach which in first week July was
quite empty but by 2nd week became busy.
Did not see much of Hotel entertainment as we arrived back from the town too late.
Found all of the staff very polite and helpfull
as was Adreas the beach man who seemed to be everywhere,
we even asked him if he had a twin brother .
Would come back but only in B block or A block as these
had the sea views.

We can honestly say this is one of the best places with ever stayed in. We were fortunate to be in Block A as when we opened our curtains in the mornings we could see the sea. The pool was lovely and we spent most of our time there, although at times there were too many inflatables. The staff are so friendly including all the animation team.Greek night is a must to watch Kostas in his tights!! The shop at the complex is brilliant and very reasonably priced. It has many english items as well as selling more traditional fare. If there was one down side we did feel however that the air conditioning was VERY expensive. It cost us 126 euros for 2 weeks and you could not be without it.I would tell anyone who were thinking of going GO!!!!!

We arrived early hours of the morning so it was dark and could not really see anything. However after a couple of hours sleep, we woke to find we had the most fantastic sea view possible.

The room was really spacious, and very clean, everything you needed in the kitchen.

We ate out most evenings, but on one occasion we ate out on the balcony, how romantic was this, the veiw was the best.

The hotel staff were very friendly, and helpful, although we had no problems.

We cannot fault this holiday only to say we wished we had booked for 2 weeks instead of one.

It was very hot in July, and the air conditioning is a must, this cost 60 euros for the week, for one room.

It was really lovely here the best place we have ever stayed in, we are definately going back next year.

Our party all stayed at the Lindia Thallasa hotel and although we ate out all the time some of the group did actually make meals in their rooms. We only complained once about ants and the room was sprayed immediately. Air con was really expensive so we didn't bother. Safety deposit also, most other greek islands we have visited give you part of your deposit back but not this one.

Barside snacks were always nice but would have preferred if meals were served after 4pm as small children in the group and sometimes eating late was too much for them.
Location was not too bad although we did have a nasty dirt track to cross up to main town so if you are not steady on your feet like me after a few vodi's then wear flat shoes.
Hotel staff were okay and daytime barmen Kostas and Stavros were very pleasant guys. One of night time barmen looked stoned most of the time but probs due to all the late nights. Entertainment left a lot to be desired, but we mostly found going out and exploring the different places was more to our taste.
We would visit this hotel again but prob just as a couple.

We cannot recommend this Hotel highly enough.
Despite arriving at 5am after a 90 minute transfer from the airport, the first thing we noticed was how clean and tidy the reception area was.

The slightly grumpy night guy checked us in and we mentioned we had requested a room in A Block with a sea view. He said we had not been allocated a room there and to speak with management later in the day about a transfer.

We needn't have worried because our room was E block ground floor facing the pool and as such it was like having our own private pool. A quick hop over the wall after breakfast and the kids (and us) were straight in the pool. Of course it was always handy for going to & from the room for various bits & pieces.

The actual location of the hotel is perfect as it's a short walk to the beach down landscaped steps and far enough from the main road to be away from the hustle bustle of the main town. We always found it nice to enjoy the 15 minute stroll back in the evening after dinner in town.

The bar staff were great fun and always had a smile on their face no matter what. Lolos had a particular humour that was sometimes difficult to understand but on the whole was freindly enough and very helpful.
The supermarket was very well stocked with everything you would expect from home.

There were two computers near the bar area for internet and gaming use for 1 Euro per 20 minutes. There was always a long queue of (mainly kids) waiting to use them so I recommend the hotel invest in some more as they will always be used and must be a great money spinner!!

The entertainment was ok but the real highlight was the karaoke for our boys Fred & Daniel. One night when there weren't many volunteers it ended up being the "Fred & Dan show".
There is a Greek night on Friday evenings which is entertaining but the food was VERY basic comprising of a couple of skewered kebabs, some chips and rice.

The rooms were well serviced with clean towels daily.

On arrival, the hotel looked very grand - it is so close to the beach you can almost smell the sea! After a short check into our room (B Block with a kind of sea view) we went to explore the hotel and surrounding area.

The first thing that we noticed was that there was almost everyhting you need 'on site'. A supermarket connected to the hotel has most of the products that you could want - priced a bit more than in the main Pefkos town, but worth the extra for being so close.

There is a kids club, which our two popped in and out of over the course of the holiday. It is quite informal and the kids loved it and made good friends with the reps.

There is a games room and two computers for the internet and games. The pool room is in need of a makeover - the tables are tatty and the cues have no tips on, and they charge

The whole complex was lovely and clean and modern. Staff brilliant, Michelle was the best rep ever !

Pool bar food was okay for breakfasts & lunches, very good value, especially full english breakfasts. Lovely pool, but at times too crowded with inflatables, including a dingy with oars which was a bit ridiculous (blame the parents !).

Close to beach, the sea is clear of stones if you walk further down. Note - 4euros each for lounger on beach.

Approx 10 mins walk into main street to bars & restaurants... also very clean & modern, with great food.
Tip - if you have airconditioning take the key off its brass fob as this activates the aircon, which switches off when you take it out, so you can return to a lovely cool room.

Tip - before you buy a dreaded inflatable, look behind the outdoor pool table as there were loads left there from people who had gone home.

Very good holiday - wouldnt hesitate to recommend it. Would like to return in a year or two.

If you are looking for a self catering holiday in Rhodes then look no more!
This is one of the best apartment resorts i have ever stayed in. The place was spotless; the rooms are large and very well equipped with a full range of cutlery plates and cooking vessals including fast boil kettle and toaster. The staff, from the reception to the cleaners were all lovely and always had a smile for you; a very friendly place indeed. Loulos, the barman, was a star, not only could he run the bar single handed he could keep you and your children amused for hours.
Only 100 yard walk from the beach and a lovely pool, snack and pool bar and supermarket all onsite.

The entertainment was short, most acts only went on for about 40 mins but the kids loved it.

The only thing I could moan about was having to pay for air -con in each bedroom @ 240 euros for 2 weeks its not cheap and trust me you need it!

A fantastic holiday we will definately return.
