TUI MAGIC LIFE Plimmiri by Atlantica

First of all this hotel is fantastic and had an amazing week! Weather was gorgeous everyday. There is always a breeze which is because of where the hotel is situated on the island. Sometimes got a bit annoying with towels and cups blowing around but kept you nice and cool so was no big deal. In the evening the wind had a bit of a chill so take a jacket, this caught us off guard. They do provide blankets in the adult bar to keep nice and cosy. The downside to the holiday were the amount of kids, never seen so many in all my life. I know it's a family resort so expected kids but it was like being in a zombie movie at time. They seem to come at you from all angles running around causing havoc! Not sure why they all weren't in school.. The adults only areas were a godsend, especially the roof top bar. The lady and man who run the place can't do enough for you waiting on you hand and foot. A massive thank you to them. Particularly loved the egg chairs up there! Food in the main restaurant was brilliant, plenty of choice. The salads were to die for. I've come home feeling like a giant piece of feta I've eaten that much. Heard mixed reviews on the 2 a la carte restaurants and only being here a week we skipped these. Also an adults only section to sit and eat. Never a problem getting a sunbed around the pool at all times of the day. Activity pool was lively and was where all the games were played. Was fun to watch and never got boring. If you wanted piece and quiet then the butterfly pool near the beach was lovely. The life guard around the main pool was a bit of a jobsworth, don't walk within 5 yards of the pool with a drink in your hand or he'll be straight over. Wouldnt even let you sit on the side to paddle with a drink, a bit of a shame. German heavy hotel and entertainment staff seemed to favour them. Once they knew you were English they didn't want much to do with you apart from Owen who seemed a friendly guy. Makes sure you visit the little farm on site. Few donkeys, goats and horse to go and pet. Not really advertised so could easily be missed. Beach was Stoney so didn't sit down there. Had a dip in the sea though which was lovely and warm. Fresh Greek Gyros at lunch time at the pool side restaurant by the butterfly pool! Unreal! Nice and lively in the evening and a great atmosphere. DJ Chris played some right bangers on his DJ sets! A huge selection of fitness classes everyday, was only there for a week so just wanted to relax. Looked like they were well ran and if I were there longer would have booked on to some. Tip: 4 euro a night for tax which you pay after the stay once you check out. Transfer time from airport roughly hour and half. Would recommend but probably wouldnt go back because of how many kids and Germans were there.

This is our 6th magic life holiday. We go on these because of the amazing list of activities , true all inclusive and choice and quality of food also amazing, friendly staff. Yes this resort is a long way from the airport, but we knew about this and also the chaos that is Rhodes airport, not the hotel's fault. It room was clean and spacious and was down near the relax pool, this was good as it was away from the noise of the bar, looking round all the accommodation is away from the noise, but only a 5 Min walk from anywhere in the complex. The Aircon is good and the WiFi is amazing, even on the beach. If you can not find something to eat here, then you have a serious problem, there is every food you can think of and to the person who said it was warm ups..I do not agree, it was different every day and if the hotel did make something from left over food, good for them, saves food waste. The staff are all lovely and the entertainment staff amazing, they work so hard 6 days a week and become your friends if you let them. The evening show can be a bit amateurish, but they try so hard it doesn't matter, always a laugh. The resort is very spread out, but this is not a problem as it never feels crowded. Car hire at reception is cheap and easy, £50 a day, we went round the whole island in a day. I often wonder why people choose magic life and do not do any of the activities, I did Pilates, stretch, aquafit, mountain bike, volleyball, aquacycle and boxing. The upstairs adults only bar is nice. There were a lot more English people there this time and they told us their kids had no problem at the kids club, there were also a lot more English entertainment staff this time. I was thrilled to find out that magic life are opening a resort in Italy and will be visiting this, I would like to thank magic life for your high standards and amazing staff, you have given us many an enjoyable holiday over the years. Must just mention though that I do not think Rhodes is quite 5 star, just some attention to detail, such as the slippers and bathrobes and toiletries we have had at other magic life resorts, they also left us a small leaving gift, which was lovely. I would like to see the restaurant do more meat that is not in sauce, but these are minor things that did not effect our amazing holiday. We will be back without a doubt. It would be nice if magic life had some kind of loyalty scheme, as we see a lot of people who are back year after year.

We came to this hotel in September before understanding what tui magic life stood for. Although this was a family hotel we still had an amazing time as there are many options to keep the place into an adults only area. I believe the hotel have been very clever in accommodating for both adults and families and it works!! The hotel is far away from most things but we hired a car for the day which made the holiday. The food was exceptional for an all inclusive resort. So much variety and flavoursome food. The drinks were also made to a high standard; offering many cocktails but not the instant kind. They also had a deli (the sandwiches were naff) they had amazing sweet pastries which you could snack on throughout the day. The resort held an Oktoberfest with fireworks which added a special touch. Great atmosphere for adults and children and also had all the German delicacies. The room was standard but they added a few nice touches with an all inclusive mini bar; which I’ve seen in some reviews slating that it isn’t topped up. Who cares it’s free!! The cleanliness was ok apart from a little ant trail we had from a hole on the outside this only happened on the last day. There was a shop in the middle of the resort that was open until half 10! Which is handy if you’re feeling peckish. Very easy to book transfers and car hire. Overall good quality for what you pay for. Would recommend for either families Or couples.
