Rodos Palace, Rhodes

Advantages: Family friendly, all inclusive, next to beach
Disadvantages: Insects in rooms, no cash machine, not enough toilets

...Last week I came back from a holiday in Greece. We went to Rhodes and stayed in the Rodos Village in Kiotari. The Rodos Village is a 5 star all-inclusive resort which is situated in the east west coast of the island. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel (this was a pre-paid transfer from our holiday provider) The taxi took around an hour to get to the hotel. Since our flight was overnight, we arrived at the airport at 4.45am, so it was great to hop into a taxi and get to the hotel quicker than the coach would have taken. We got to the hotel at around 6am. There are not only steps up to the hotel, but also a ramp.

Disadvantages: Some of the accommodation ...

...My review is not about Rhodes, in general, but rather one particular resort we had the misfortune to stay in. My son and I flew out to stay at the Rodos Village Mitsis (Kiotari, Rhodes) for the Easter break, 2005, as part of an all-inclusive package holiday. We took a late evening flight out to Rhodes direct from London Gatwick and arrived at the Rodos Village Mitsis around 3.15am. The hotel was deserted save for two reception staff and so the scrum to the front of the queue started, with a plane-load of tired holidaymakers - mostly families with small children - desperate for their beds. There were limited seating facilities in the very grand foyer - designed mainly for aesthetic appeal rather than functionality - and there were no welcome drinks (even a glass of water would have been much appreciated after the journey from...

Advantages: fun for family
Disadvantages: no food choice for kids

...Went to sun palace in faliraki rhodes on may 3rd 2006 my first impressions were really great could not fault any thing about this place. The room we was given was a family room as we had 2 children with us one who was 1 and one who was 4, it came well equipped with fridge tv and cot for the little one, you had a huge wardrobe with hangers and plenty of storage space, the bathroom was really nice and clean with bath and shower which was great as my children dont like showers. The bed was big enough for at least 3 adults and you also had a seperate bedroom with two single beds in which led out on to balcony, again which was very clean. All in all the room was lovely and clean and spacious. As we were on all inclusive food was available all day either from snack bar or main restaurant only problem with the food was finding stuff which... Read review
