Gennadi Grand Resort

My wife and I visited this hotel for two weeks in October 2019. We stayed in room 6001, a junior suite with private pool and garden view, spacious and quiet. It was well equipped with all of what you need in your room. The room was very clean and we had clean sheets on a daily basis. The staff are absolutely amazing! Nothing is too much trouble. From the waiters and waitresses to the house keeping staff - every single one of them a pleasure to have met. Especially we want to say „Efcharisto poly“ to Amarilda and Vanessa and Nico - “Hola crema“ In the main buffett restaurant there was was plenty of choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a very high quality with very attentive service and very good wine selection (all inclusive). The four a la carte restaurants, which are included in all inclusive, offer spectaculous dishes, the ten to one already for lunch time (brunch menu: starters: from 8,50 Euro; salads: 9,50 Euro; between court: 10,30 Euro; main courses: 12,50 Euro). The Grand Bar opens 17:30, offering great drinks with top brands and excellent choice. So all-inclusive is worth the price of 40 Euros per day and person. We would have liked a better mini bar for all inclusive. Only a small white and red whine and one beer on the alcoholic side. The rest was water and pop. Last not least: the sea. Very clear, deep blue, warm – wonderful. There is also a very nice beach bar with a wonderful lady entertaining and serving you: Eleni We would definitely return. We loved it.

Firstly I want to thank all reviewers on trip advisor. I think I must have read them all and knew what to expect. I can honestly say it was everything I expected. October is quiet which is just what we wanted. We arrived late. Check in was quick and the staff were wonderful. Greeted with a glass of fizz, I knew this holiday was going to be great. We were taken by buggy to our room the driver pointed out a quick route to breakfast for the morning. Our room was beach view with swim up pool. Wine, sandwiches and a platter of fruit was in our room to see us through to breakfast. The room is beautiful. Spacious. Lovely queen size bed, lush pillows. There was plenty of space for our clothes for the week. His and her sinks. Lighting was great. Large full length mirror. Large mirror over the sinks and a magnifying mirror with a light on, great for shaving and applying makeup. Yoy don't need to take any towels. The spare gives you towels for the pool and beach which you can change after two days or daily if you prefer. More towels for your swim up pool and plenty of towels in your room which will be changed daily. We just left any we wanted changed on the floor. There is a press buton do not disturb switch in your room and another if you'd like the cleaner. A member of the service staff deliver 2 bottles of water to your room daily and replenish coffee pods, tea etc for the coffee machine which is excellent. You can just press for hot water if you want tea. You only get a few coffee pods but if you ask they're happy to give you more. Loved our swim up pool. I'm an early riser so I didn't nag my hubby to get up early, I could sunbathe on the lovely thick beds at my pool. We had an end room next to the path to the beach and only got the sun til about 12 but it made us move. Definately book all the restaurants. We loved the tasting menu. Exquisite food that I'll never forget. Could do with heaters for cold October evening as it's on the roof top. My next fav was the steak restaurant. Fabulous. We were all inclusive so added extra sides. The Greek restaurant was also good. Staff are well informed, lovely and give a very special experience. I also loved ten to one Al a carte restaurant where we had a lovely steak sandwich with wine one luchtime. Food in the main dining room is great. You would be very hard pushed not to find something you like. I couldn't understand why more people weren't in the main bar after dinner. It was very quiet. Lovely outside area. Can't fault the bar staff who were excellent. You were never without a drink. All top shelf spirits and great cocktails. Entertainment was low key a pianist or saxophonist who also played at breakfast. Suited us we wanted a quiet relaxing holiday and it's what we got. I also loved the beach bar. The food is fast food cooked to order and delicious. Particularly loved the beef pitta pocket with slaw and chips. It is a pebbly beach. It doesn't look much but the complex is still new and plants just starting to establish. We also loved the main pool. Beds are fab. Very deep and extremely comfortable. You can order drinks to your bed via the App, just put in the number on your umbrella place your order and the wonderful staff are very quick to bring your order. They circulate the pool often and also ask if they can get you anything. We were checking out at 12 on our last day but reception allowed us to extend this to 2pm free of charge. We were also able to book a courtesy room to get changed and shower before waiting to be picked up. I agree with others the transfer from the airport took nearly 2 hours. We would have liked a better mini bar for all inclusive. Only a small white and red whine and one beer on the alcoholic side the rest was water and pop. I would definitely return. We lived it. Massive thank you to all the staff.

This was our first time back to Greece in nearly 30 years, and our first visit to Rhodes so we chose a good quality 5 star hotel with good reviews and we were not disappointed. Although nearly 2 hours from the airport, it was worth it and our cases were whisked away from us, a glass put in our hands and told to sit and relax before we booked in. The hotel is still quite new but it has been well thought out. It is immaculately clean, the service is excellent, the food and drink offering is great and ticked all of our boxes. The staff were all very attentive and friendly - our special praises go out to Irena, Sokratis(?) and Georgia and the fantastic pianist. Our room and swim up pool were lovely, and never a real problem to find a lounger round the pool or at the beach. Very tempted to return and I don’t often say that, and another year or two and the grounds/gardens will be fully established.
