Hotel La Marquise

Today is our last day and we will be sad to leave. We are repeat guests, this year we upgraded to a bungalow with private pool. The room and bathroom were very spacious and we loved the separate shower cabin. Tranquility of the pool and surrounding garden made the stay extra special. The staff make this hotel very unique, there are many to mention however special thanks to Michalis at the Azzure bar, Eleni ,Anastasia & Savi in the Crystal lounge. The newly promoted “Captain” Vasiilis in the De Vinci restaurant, so pleased to see you in your new role doing an excellent job as per usual. And last but no means least Nikos, what can we say, nothing is too much trouble. His attention to detail, warmth and hospitality go above and beyond all expectations. In our opinion he is the beating heart of this glorious hotel. A special thank you to Christina (guest relations) for arranging a special event for our renewing of vows and the porters for giving us many a buggy ride. We have already booked to return next September and now reviewing what accommodation to upgrade too.

We've now been back a week since our stay at La Marquise and are still living on the memories! It's a lovely hotel and besides the check in, which I have to say was lacking in information, all the staff were friendly and helpful. We were AI in the adults only area with a black card, so had access to all the restaurants and used L'Etoile for breakfast every morning. Having said that, when we ate in Da Vinci for lunch and dinner, there was plenty of selection and don't miss the mural on the ceiling. We were told they are all artists but personally think they are just figures from history. Our favourite restaurant was the Gondola,which we used once for both lunch and dinner. A special mention to Kostas in L'Etoile at breakfast and Da Vinci for lunch, who certain goes 'the extra mile'. One couple we spoke to, have been coming here for the past 20 years, which is recommendation in itself and they consider it the best hotel on the island. If we visit Rhodes again we'd definitely stay here and if you do come, Kalithea Springs is a short bus ride away (€1.20 each way) a beautiful spot and only a few euros entry fee. The bus stops outside the hotel and Rhodes town takes about half an hour and costs €2.40 each way but they can pass by full at busy periods. We used the ferry one day, €8.00 single and this also stops just across the road and is worth the extra few euros for a different view of the island.

Only good things I can say about this amazing hotel. The pools and the beach are amazing and have a certain magic of silence . The food is nothing less than amazing with incredible variety and an amazing staff of waiters (our favorite waiter Ismael). The rooms are clean and comfortable. And the bars all around the hotel will provide you tasty drinks. I highly recommend this hotel for a great vacation.
