    Average and expensive
    06 Nov , 2019 LJPhoto1
    Paid for a sea view or garden view, got a ground floor room facing trees with a road behind. One of the beds had springs sticking out and air con wasn't working. Wouldn't move us to another room because they said they had closed down most of the hotel as it was end of the season. They were quick to sort out the bed and and air con. The room was cleaned well every day. We travelled at the end of Oct into first week of Nov, everything is closing, no reps on hand to help and receptionists unhelpful. They actually closed the hotel the day before we left and transferred us to their other hotel but the room wasn't ready! Really inconvenient when you have to pack early and have wet clothes to dry and took up valuable daylight time as the sun sets at 5:30pm. Apart from the receptionists, the staff were really friendly and nice. Food and drinks are expensive at the hotel and you need to either get their shuttle bus, the normal bus or hire a car, there isn't anything around there apart from a handy kiosk over the road which was lucky as we arrived late and needed water. The food was average and there wasn't any greek food apart from 'greek corner' which had dolmades, olives and a few other bits. The private beach leads out to a very rocky sea entrance, my children didn't enjoy swimming there. Overall, not impressed.
    A bed for the night in a great location

    We stayed here at end of the season and a great location, a very good room rate and very friendly staff although having left a 5* hotel in Kolymbia, there was a huge difference between that and this 4*.
    Visit to Rhodes
    28 Oct , 2019 toke1987, 1501905
    Just arrived back from a fabulous week in rhodes could not of asked for better weather. Hotel was really nice the pool area was amazing. Throughout the week it was quite as it was the second to last week. We Lao found that there were more German then English staying which was no problem to us. The staff were very friendly. The hotel had a small shop but rather expensive we used the lite shop behind the bus stop across the road from the hotel. The hotel is in the middle of no where and offers a shuttle bus to Rhodes town for €6 return. We found the food rather boring and not very warm all week. I found that along of the food had an unpleasant distinctive taste to it. Over all the room was good with fab views. I would stay there again.
    Professional staff but the facilities need some improvement
    11 Oct , 2019 jazzlimm, 187048
    Pros: The staff were very nice, professional and hospitable - we were mainly looked after by Eleni The bar tender at the poolside, Irini is also very nice The food is delicious with various of dishes to choose from The receptionists were helpful in telling us information on how to get around Cons The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so if you're looking to go to town at night, best to get a car rental. There are no restaurants or bar near it so you'll have to just go to the hotel bar where drinks are really expensive. The hotel is a bit outdated. They need to upgrade their AC because it looks like it's still from the 1980s. It works, but sometimes it's not very reliable. The pool is freezing cold There is an access to a private beach BUT you'll have to rent the sun beds for 3.50 euros We found a cockroach in the toilet - this means the cleaners has to be mindful of that Wifi is only free in the communal areas. If you want wifi in your room, you'll have to pay The spa - we were given a free 15 mins massage voucher however, we were not told that it's only valid for the first 2 days of our stay. Since we got busy exploring Rhodes, we were not able to use it.
    Totally Relaxing Stay
    09 Oct , 2019 Stephanie B, 186299
    I stayed at the Kresten Palace between 28th September until 5th October. I couldn't really fault anything, It was lovely and clean, the pool was fabulous and the gardens stunning. It is set on a hill so if you have problems walking this may not be the place for you, although there is plenty of wheelchair access. There is a small beach (private to guests at the Kresten Palace and Kresten Royal Villas) which is soft shingle. Take swimming shoes as there are quite a few rocks to negotiate before getting out into the open sea. Also, if you are at the Kresten Palace there is a 3 Euro charge for sunbeds. Food was excellent, plenty of variety. I was on half board (no all inclusive at this hotel), drinks were a little expenseive. Also beware, they put bottles of water on your table, but you are expected to pay for them at 2 Euros per bottle (1 litre). I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and you can use the facilities at the Kresten Royal Villas (except the all inclusive). I spent most of my days there as I had family in that hotel.
