Belair Beach Hotel

Me and my fiance had a lovely time at the belair beach. We paid for a side seaview room and when we turned up to check in the gentleman upgraded us to a sea view room completely free of charge. Still not sure why he did that but we were very grateful and it made our stay all the better as the room was lovely, new and clean. Shower was fab, balcony was spacious and the view was to die for. As far as all inclusive buffets go, the food was great, yes it wasn't boiling hot and yes it got a bit repetitive at times but it's an all inclusive buffet, I've had better and I've had worse. The pool area was lovely, the entertainment team had a good go at trying to get people involved and worked hard. If you're not early risers it is difficult to find a sunbed and people do leave their towels down overnight, this isn't the hotels fault though. The entertainment was a bit of a let down, the greek dancing night was the best night, this is on a Thursday. Some of the other nights were okay but some were really bad. One of them is a 'disco' and this is literally just a laptop playing cheesy music. The staff at the hotel were fine, they weren't the friendliest but they also weren't rude as some reviews say. The new pool area was definitely needed at this hotel. Had we gone when only the small, shaded pool was open we would have been sorely disappointed. Our room was cleaned every day and to a good standard. The alcohol is not brilliant, they could do with having fancier cocktails and a couple more choices of beer on the all inclusive as there is only one choice and it isn't the best. We had a wonderful holiday here and we would recommend it and we would return if we ever find ourselves back in Rhodes.

My stay at this hotel has resulted in a complaint being made to our travel provider Jet2. Sadly this complaint is 2 sides of a4. We were there for the last week before the hotel closed and i do feel this has impacted on our stay. I found the place to be dirty as you can see by the photos i have provided of the restaurant this is not dirt that has accumulated over a day. I found that as the week went on the choice of food was limited and extremely limited for my son. The food was cold and it would appear they have removed the microwave where food could have been warmed. As things ran out they were not Replenished. Around the pool was not cleaned and the sun beds were dirty. There was soil in the pool. Only one pool area was open. the pools were cold and this prevented me from going in. I found that some of the staff were on wind down and it was like we were an Inconvenience. I do not feel we got a full range of service and this was further highlighted on out last day when we could not eat lunch in the restaurant as they had shut this. Highchairs in the resturant did not have straps so made them unsafe. The Restaurant manager offered to get us some bananas for my my son. They never arrived and i was told they were over ripe. We managed to source them The pool area was pretty and the lady behind the pool bar very helpful. Rooms were clean and were able to keep out room on free of charge the day we departed. The home made cakes were excellent. This is a brief overview of the issues I would not recommend nor would i return.
