I was searching for a good hotel for my 5th visit in Rhodes island but this time it was my first vacation alone so I searched for a small hotel far from the overcrowded Rhodes city with good reviews and it took awhile until I came across with Lardos Bay Hotel. By the reviews it seems that the hotel has one downfall which is the Wi-Fi connection reliability especially in the rooms area. So I decided to book this hotel and of course to purchase a SIM card with a huge internet package because I needed to work on my laptop during the stay and I couldn’t take the risk after reading the bad reviews about the Wi-Fi. I arrived at the Hotel around 14:00 and i was lucky that the room was surprisingly ready earlier than 15:00! I had to try the Wi-Fi connection for myself and yes it is terrible, it has extremely low internet speed like in the late 90s and it stops working every few minutes or even seconds and I was getting the “No internet connection” message constantly. I truly believe if they had a good and reliable Wi-Fi connection they could have easily go above 9.5 rank in booking.com. Other then the Wi-Fi issues, all the hotel staff from the room attendants to the front desk receptionists are very professional and friendly they always smile and wants you to feel comfortable especially the cute Italian girl at the hotel’s “market” (shop) who thought I’m Italian too :) It looks like the hotel got renovated recently and the room was modern, well maintained and clean to perfection. The public areas looks clean and well maintained as well. I booked full board = breakfast, lunch and dinner that i was told at the check-in it also includes soft drinks and snacks at the pool bar (soft all inclusive) - the food is alright and suitable for a 3 stars hotel. The hotel is 200 meters / 4 minutes walking to the beach, at the beach you can rent 2 Sun beds for 10€ (no option to rent 1 bed).

I was looking forward a lot to this place when I booked it online , and it turned out I made a great choice that was matching my expectations. the room was just excellent , the bed , the shower, the entire hotel is just a well organized project and I enjoyed it a lot. A beautiful pool as expected from the photo's. The beach in front was just excellent as wel., everything was just a Wonderfull experience ! for the budget price I got a free breakfast as well.

If you wanted to walk to the centre town , you needed to be ready for a 2 KM walk , so about half an hour to arrive at town bars and restaurants. but hey the hotel is in front of the beach, so if you had the hotel in the centre , than you had to walk 2 KM a half hour to the beach ! So it is either close to the beach , or close to the centre town, can't have both here. I did the right choice for having a room near the beach , I did not mind the walk to the town. it keeps you in shape. or you take a 2 minute taxi ride if you can't walk at all.

Spacious room, lovely bathroom with excellent shower. Swim up shared pool very nice . Close to beach Free parking Friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend the hotel when sewage problems are sorted out.

Unfortunately our enjoyment was ruined by the overpowering smell of sewage especially around our room and pool area. Restaurants in Lardos are a taxi ride away We were unable to get a taxi back to the hotel one night , a local shop keeper very kindly gave us a lift. This is no fault of the hotel but worth bearing in mind if you are not on a meal plan .

Staff was very friendly overall and it felt like they belong to one big family. Location of the hotel is superb, you get to relax from the city noise there. Beautiful Lindos city is only 10-15 minutes drive from the hotel. Prasonisi beach is 40 min drive. Hotel has its own beach which is approx 300 meter away from the hotel. Hotel itself offers sufficient parking space for a rented cars. Our room had air conditioning which functioned flawlessly.

Animators were too engaging and proactive. Events that took place in the evenings were loud thus we had to sleep with earplugs (sound isolation in the rooms is not sufficient). I think such events could've been held in closed spaces like disco bar. Although there is a wi-fi connection within premises of the hotel, internet speed is really slow thus we had to use mobile data instead. TV that was in a room did not have any channels and/or media apps (youtube, netflix) thus we couldn't use it.

Hotel is situated right next to main road and there are enough parking places. The room was clean and we had a nice pool view. Location of the hotel is really nice, close to Lindos and south beaches that are just amazing without people. Breakfast were really good and had no problem with anything. Recommend pancakes as a dessert. :)

Once we left the reception and went outside to the room there was terrible smell. I guess it was problem with waste water or something like that, but we could feel it everyday. And it was unpleasant once the smell got in the room. The close by beach is not nice and you have to go somewhere else or enjoy the pool :).

Breakfast was various and nice. Hotel’s aura was so nice. We stayed 4 nights and it was cool. It’s possible to play tennis. There is open air fitness area. Pool was cleaning every night and there ara cool sunbeds. One of our nights we experienced a live music at the bar. That was a market inside the hotel so you can buy anything you need. Staff were so kind, cheerful and very welcoming.

There was no kettle, glass and treats like coffee/tea in the rooms. There was a mosquito net in the rooms but there are many mosquitos if you forget to close it. In the nights there is a bad smell around the bar. We wrote a note about a baby crib. It was written it’s possible to have a crib when we make reservation. When we checked in there was no crib only a single bed. We made our baby sleep on it. During the station I have received a notification from the hotel that they confirm my crib request. But still nothing showed up.

It was a fantastic week, I stayed for, I got the full board for food, and soft drinks/ snacks at the beach bar, they even hosted a Greek food day, a live band playing every three days in a row, and overall it was excellent and the room was very clean and staff members were very friendly especially Francesca the receptionist, who would recommend us places to go or book trips for us and is very efficient and friendly and has great communication, thank you very much Lardos Bay Hotel.

The room 228 did have some stains on the curtains and the front door on the inside, and the toilet should have a lock on it, the tv only has news channels in English maybe you should try putting my channels on there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lardos Bay Hotel! The rooms are modern, comfortable, air-conditioned, and equipped with mosquito nets. They were cleaned daily, ensuring a pleasant environment throughout our stay. The hotel is very child-friendly, offering excellent animation programs for both adults and children. There is a children's pool and a playground as well. The food especially dinner was extremely tasty, with a wide variety of choices as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. The staff everywhere were very friendly, making us feel at home after just a few days. The hotel also offered an enjoyable evening program (life greek music, karaoke night, dj night, play night, mini-disco for the kidds) . We initially spent five nights at Lardos Bay Hotel and decided to explore another part of Rhodes. However, after a terrible night at another hotel, we were delighted to return to Lardos Bay Hotel. The value for money is exceptional and exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much!

FYI: We had a rental car, so it was convenient for us to explore different parts of the island and visit various beaches. However, there is also a bus stop nearby for those without a car. The hotel offers an animation program with very good and motivated animators. We really enjoyed the atmosphere at the pool and during the evening programs. However, it might not be suitable for people seeking only peace and quiet. The music and programm starts around 10:00 and goes until 12:30, then resumes from 16:00 until 18:00, and again from 20:30. We managed to have the kids take their midday nap during the quiet time from 12:30 to 16:00. The Wi-Fi connection was not very strong in some areas of the hotel.

The property was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of comfortable loungers by the pool, the rooms air con worked well and we had plenty of space in the room. The cleaner who looked after our room was an amazing lady who couldn’t have done more for us and ensured our stay was clean and comfortable, I hope the hotel recognises her for her efforts.

Nothing in particular stands out, the hotel is a little out the way of Lindos, but the bus link for €2 was always punctual and a €8 taxi home at the end of the night didn’t break the bank.

There is value for the price, a cute hotel very close to the sea, a large room that is perfectly well equipped except for a coffee system, a private pool in front of the balcony, a beautiful public pool, a bar, tennis courts, ping pong and a gym, nice and helpful hotel staff. Breakfast with a large buffet, 10 minutes drive from Lindos beach and Saint Paul beach. Hope to go back there next vacation. highly recommend!

There is no coffee set in the room, half of the double bed that was in my room, the mattress sleeps with sockets in the middle, there are sometimes performances in the bar in the evening and it is a bit disturbing if you want quiet, but when you close the window, you can hardly hear. The safe cash box it is with payment.
