Hotel La Marquise

Me and my partner had the most magical time at the resort, as soon as we drove down the drive to the complex we knew we had made the best choice for the area (as we had a shared coach which stopped at many places before that did not look even half as nice as this one) , we had our room upgraded for no extra cost which was a nice touch as well! each moment going forward just made the holiday even more amazing, the food (especially the Asian al a Carte which was one of the best meals we have ever had), the rooms, beach bar, and a special mention to the staff who treated us like we were royalty (which doesn't always happen when you are younger so this was very refreshing), a special mention to Nikos Sfakianakis who is the restaurant manager, a truly special person who acted as if he was everyones best friend and acted as if he knew you personally and greeting you every day like he was so happy to see you, and although we do not have children i can see how this resort could cater for families as well (we were in the adults only section with an adults only pool/beach bar which was really wonderful) , i would definitely visit La Marquise again and would recommend to anyone and everyone!

We came here 29th May - 5th June 2019 and booked through TUI literally the week before! There was myself, husband and our 7 month old boy. We found that the average age of guests in the hotel was a lot higher than our age with a lot of guests looking to be over 50. There was however a few families with toddlers and babies too. The hotel has a really luxurious feel about it. We did the All Inclusive package which was very good value, lots of drinks on offer and the food was beautiful. Especially the restaurants that you can book once per trip: Asian corner, Grill Restaurant and Gondola Poolside bar for lunch, all of them included a three course meal with a good selection. I loved the cocktails and managed to try all of them. The entertainment was sophisticated in the evening and I enjoyed the traditional Greek dancing the most. The pools were quiet and relaxed and there was always a sun lounger available. There’s a lovely play area which was too old for our little boy but would be perfect when he’s walking. Our superior double room with poolside view was perfect, had a lovely terrace area as we were ground floor and came equipped with tea facilities, fridge and safety deposit box. There was ample room for a cot which they provided and it was a nice travel cot. The staff were very friendly and attentive, they were always chatting to our baby. We loved the men in suits who operated the dining room with an earpiece very effectively. We hired a car through the guy in reception which was very reasonable and easy to do, would recommend doing this to explore the island. Lindos beach was lovely and Rhodes old town is beautiful. We went down to the hotel beach once but it’s very stoney so prefer a fine sand beach. I would come here again in a heartbeat!! Thank you La Marquise!

The hotel is extremely well kept, with impressive gardens and is mostly low-rise. We stayed in room 3101, which is decribed as a junior suite, with a balcony. First impressions are very good when you arrive at the hotel. Check-in was smooth, with a welcome drink supplied. I have to say that every member of staff, from reception, buggy drivers, restaurant staff and housekeeping, were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. The food is very good, and is self service. Our only criticism of breakfast is that the juices tasted reconstituted, coffee was unrewarding, and the water supplied for tea was never hot enough. But these are minor niggles. The dinner menu was extensive, and the entrée courses changed every night, with some themes like Indian and Chinese/Japanese. Some beautifully presented desserts, which changed every night. The restaurant staff are lovely. The spa and gym look to be perfect if that's your thing. If you have a late pickup for the airport, see if you can book a room in the spa for 30 minutes shortly beforehand. It's a good chance to have a shower and change into travelling clothes, and it's provided free on a first come, first served basis. Our room was comfortable, and the WiFi provides good coverage across the whole site. We took a laptop and streamed our preferred content. There is a Drive car rental rep on site in reception, and they seem to provide a decent range. We didn't check the prices, however, as we pre-booked online. If buses are more your thing, there are bus stops right outside, although the buses to Rhodes town get very full before they reach La Marquise, so an early start is recommended. If you like live music, there is entertainment every night. Tribute acts for ABBA, the Drifters, the Beatles, and Jersey Boys while we were there. Altogether a lovely place to stay, and if they could just provide hotter water and better teabags for breakfast, it would be perfect!
