Olympic Palace Resort Hotel

Me and my partner stayed here 31st June - 12th July for our summer holiday, we were looking forward to staying in our first 5 star hotel, and to relax! We were not disappointed, the outside and reception area were immaculate, modern furniture and open plan. Staff were helpful enough getting us into our room. The room itself were decent sized with enough storage and a balcony (facing the mountain unfortunately) Please note, the bugs that live in the mountain are quite loud!! Me and my partner thought it was a broken generator or vehicle of some sort, but no, just the bugs, every morning! But you do get used to it. Breakfast for me was the best meal of the day. We went half-board (breakfast and dinner) - The dinners in the evening were pretty standard to say the hotel is 5 star, I was expecting a little more of the wow-factor. However, as I am gluten-free I couldn't eat off the main buffet. The maître d' looked after me, he asked what I'd like to eat each evening - this could include pasta, or pizza. Some night's he picked the meats and gluten-free options from the buffet and came to our table with food. This was really nice of him. Normally in hotel buffets, the manager will show me around so I can pick myself but this time I think the maître d' was cautious because I have Coeliac Disease. As mentioned, the breakfast was the best because he bought me out fresh pancakes every morning and toast (I picked the eggs off the buffet). If you're staying here with a food intolerance, you will be absolutely fine and well cared for. Bedrooms were made up every day, you could take the hotels own towels (must be returned or you will be charged) Also, to note, take these blue towels with you to the privately own beach (the hotels beach) to prove you're staying there. :) Lovely small beach, if you want to escape the busy pool. The swimming pools were lovely and big enough, loads of sunbeds and a swim-up bar which is pretty cool. The prices of drinks at this outdoor bar are quite expensive. 5 Euro each for a drink. Luckily, we found that if you go to the indoor shop just near the pool, you can buy cooled drinks & alcoholic drinks for half the price! Beware! The location itself was nice, there are a few bars and restaurants down the road but apart from that, the next busy place would be Faliraki, Rhodes Town and Lindos. I'd highly recommend you visit all these places, and more! We hired a car from Enterprise which was easy enough but the hotel does have an internal car hire desk. Overall, the hotel was really, really great and I enjoyed my stay here. Nothing to complain about really. The entertain at night was good enough (Greek dancing, ABBA night and other tributes) They have saxophone night in the lobby and the roof top bar views are so so beautiful at night time, you can see the mountain in Turkey! This hotel also has mini golf but we didn't play, a spa (not free) and internal shops. If you're staying here, you will be looked after and will enjoy yourself. :)

Came here for the second year running this Summer. Once again the staff and facilities were wonderful. Last year we were all inclusive and this year just half-board as we intended to spend some more nights in Rhodes Town. I don't know if your board allocation affects the type of room you have but last years room (208) was certainly better than this years (805). Our gripes being that the hairdryer didn't work and the shower had to be used hand held as it wouldn't stay in its locator. Not what you expect for 5 stars. Having said that the food was exceptional and each and every member of staff could not do enough for you. If you go half-board or all inclusive do take advantage of the invitation to visit the al-a-carte restaurant as the food is wonderful.

We stayer with our little baby. All staff us really helpfull to make sure anything we need (water, food, a laugh). Special thank to the chef of the kitchen for making babyfood. The manager of the retaurant with always helping and assisting us. The always helpfull recep tion lady. George and Daniela are the most friendly, entertaining and careing staff in restaurant we ever met. Patience, nice with our baby and always friendly and funny! Such a good and welcome addition to the holiday!! The food is superb, the choice is maybe less then the normall 'all in', but still very much choice en so good quality. All day youn can eat and drink somewhere. The room is good, although it is really noisy. You can hear the neighbours very quick. And the entertainmaint on the 8th floor is so loud you hear it in the room (we were on 6th). Its actually asame for a 5 star hotel. And they really do not need to change all towels every day. I thought this was a green hotel? For the rest, no downsides from me. We have a really good holiday here!!
