Rodos Park Suites Hotel, 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. It was quite steep but it meant that I could wheel my bag up instead of carrying up the steps (always good if you're tired!) Check in was quick.

...My review is not about Rhodes, in general, but rather one particular resort we had the misfortune to stay in.

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: variety of rides, fun day out, enjoyable attractions, fair entry fee, easy to get to
Disadvantages: no straps on locker keys, limited shade on walkways resulting in burning feet, very hilly

...and chips which weren't anything spectacular but were nice enough. We left the waterpark at around 3pm as we had been on all of the rides by then and the extreme heat was making it uncomfortable to be in the sun without shade. We were able to get changed in the changing rooms as it was so quiet but i cannot imagine what it would be like on a busy day. We had a brief look in the souvenir shop which had the sort of things you could find in most souvenir shops in Rhodes. On exiting the waterpark there were taxis waiting outside which meant that we didn't have to wait around for one and were able to get straight back to our hotel. Overall we had a very enjoyable time at the water park. There was a good variety of rides to suit all of us, the childrens area was very impressive and although a couple of the rides were a little bit painful... Read review
