    We arrived early hours of Sunday morning approximately 2am and we were greeted by a older man with grey hair he didn’t seem to happy however it took us to our room, which they upgraded us for free from and standard to superior which I highly recommend. He opened the door and left us to unpack etc, I had my best mate and mum with me and we were all extremely tired and when we got in the room the air con didn’t work however myself and my friend went down 4 times to reception to get the man to have a look at it. However in the end he did get it to work but we didn’t get to sleep to 4am. Also after 11pm you have to by all drinks, also if you drink cocktails if you pay for one you get the proper works. Where as if you get a cocktail all inclusive you will get it in a plastic cup. During the day very good atmosphere around, with the entertainment team having music on and different activities to do during the day such as waterpolo. One of my highlights of this holiday and the hotel is the two people at the pool bar especially mike very friendly and would always go out of his way to help. the people good selection of food for breakfast and lunch, however at tea time the food was very repetitive and I was personally surprised about having no cheese and crackers. All swimming pools are very nice and well maintained, same goes for the water slides. Our room which was 825 overlooked 2 other separate pools which were very good. Also the hotel supply a free bus down to the beach which is very good. Also my friend wasn’t very well one night and when my mum phoned reception he asked for some help meaning like a cleaner or something. He rudely replied what do you think i am a cleaner and slammed the phone down. This was the same man who greeted us in the first day. Also to make everyone aware in Greece now there is bedroom tax so per night per room you get charged €3 and you have to pay this otherwise you will not get your passports back so it’s simple as. However despite this we really enjoyed the hotel and made some good friends again especially the bar man mike top guy. I would return to this hotel again.
    Great budget hotel

    We had a fantastic family holiday here in June. I was pleasantly surprised with the rooms; they are basic but clean and our air con worked really well. The pools are brilliant and proved very popular with our kids, they made loads of friends and there was a great atmosphere. The animation team Rio and Mike work so hard day and night! We found all the staff to be really friendly and helpful. Kolimbia is a really nice little resort with a few nice shops and bars, for us it was ideal. The free shuttle bus is great. We had a few trips there and the beach is lovely. For us the only downside would be the food and drink; the restaurant food was nice but slightly repetitive and the bar snacks were a bit rubbish to be honest. We arrived at 11pm with four hungry kids and had to pay for pizzas. I know a few others have complained about this and I think it would be a nice gesture to offer these to late arrivals for free. With regards to alcohol the drinks were great but I wish the bar would of stayed open a little later than 11pm. Overall this is a really good hotel and I would definitely recommend it. We are already talking about returning next year 😊
    Not really 4 stars now, is it?

    We will make a good old standard pro and con list. We were visiting from Sweden with 7 people in total. - Old pictures that does not reflect the reality. - Playground and tennis court was basically a joke. Looked nice on pictures but was a disaster when er were actually there. - Toilets connected to the pool bar were DISGUSTING. - Not enough shade and sun chairs. All chairs were taken and there were 3 large umbrellas for all pools. We complained about it in the reception but nothing happened. - Loud music all day at the pool (where the fun stuff were for kids). - The entertainment area was a joke. 50-70% of the machines were broken and swallowed the euros.Pool tables was filled with dead bugs and overall hygienic was awful. - Mini club for small children was really low class. Almost all toys were broken or had no batteries. Nice staff at least. - No drinking glasses in the rooms - Really expensive hotel shop - Low class on "All inclusive"-beer, ice cream, snacks (dry bread with old sausages shoved inside) - Bad information about ingredients in food and snacks. (We have a nut allergic child) - Dirty dishes in the restaurant - All inclusive drinks were awful (when the all inclusive bar closed and it was pay time it was a whole new deal concerning quality) +- Food was OKAY! But not more than that. We could tell they bought the cheapest ingredients for the all inclusive meals. + Hotel rooms were nice + Cleanliness of rooms + Cleaning staff were really nice and adorable + Nice and calm area + Slides were fun and nice (some a bit painful to go in though) Overall it does not add up to a 4 star all inclusive hotel experience. We cannot really decide whether to give 2 or a 3 as a review grade.
    Definitely not a 4 star it’s a 3 star

    The food is not good at all it’s the same thing for lunch and tea and it’s the same food everyday with little changes, the cakes and puddings are not very nice and the drinks at meal times are very flat, however the staff in the dining area are amazing they are so friendly and kind and very helpful especially Christina she is ever so lovely my little boy adored her. The drinks from the bar that are all inclusive are not nice at all the cocktails are shocking and not very good variety. The pool bar staff are amazing especially mike he is so friendly and made our stay the best he serves ice cream and drinks and is very friendly the pools are great the rooms are okay but the air con is not good at all and there is a free bus to Kolymbia beach which is good but it’s definitely needed as the hotel is in the middle of nowhere you can’t go for a walk to the shops or beach however we were sad to leave Rhodes is a great place you must visit lindos also the entertainment is not great very repetitive and the same
