Rodos Star

Food as good, weather brilliant, we had a lovely room in new block which we were pleased about because room in old block did look very dated , entertainment was inky at night and very hit and miss, karoake was excellent was like X factor between some of the guests they were fantastic !! Was hilarious when owners brother in his wheelchair after a motorbike accident came up to sing - deafening ! Mainly English guests and being September hardly any kids so there was always a good atmosphere, yes it's a bit of a way to beach shops etc and up a very steep hill, but if you risk it the village about ten minutes away is great with bars restaurants shops etc, we prob would go again for a week , we did venture into falaraki on the bus then got a taxi back - all ok

So been meaning to leave my review for a while now Stayed here for 2 weeks with my partner And the holiday itself and the location was wonderful However the hotel was not First of all I really think you’ll find a lot of reviews are from people who come again and again as regulars and feel loyal to the staff which is fair enough We met some lovely couples at this hotel whom we’ve stayed in contact with, all would not come again and one couple it was their second time here that wouldn’t make it a third... On arrival we went to our room, mountain side view...we were directly above the kitchen and facing a brick wall- no view The kitchen staff start at 4.30am banging away, we asked to move room, staff excused tui not communicating with them room view requests (it was simply on our paperwork) and moved us 3 days later The room was a good size as family sized but outdated and everyday full of ants and mozzies, got eaten alive despite using everything The beds are 2 twins as I’m sure you read pushed together The food is good for a week deffo repetitive after that, the alcohol limited and only 1 beer available We spent loads extra on this holiday eating and drinking out The pool area is not cleaned properly lots of stains on tables, dead bugs and lots of broken sun beds, snack area is one broken toastie machine When eating dinner the meat was often raw in the kebabs putting you off eating in future, I know couples we were with experienced the same The hotel is what you ‘pay for’ but would be better as a non all inclusive I feel for the limited food and drink options Ignore the tui rep who says buses are a nightmare, they are cheap and cheerful allowing easy access to travelling around the island, which is beautiful The locals in town are friendly and welcoming The hill is hard work but you have to laugh about it, got a bit of daily exercise Made some lifelong friends which wouldn’t happen if not at a small hotel, though common grounds were complaining about the hotel!! Beautiful island, shame about the hotel
