TUI MAGIC LIFE Plimmiri by Atlantica

Trip advisor review I stayed here for a week at the beginning of September with my boyfriend, sister and brother in law and when it came to coming home we really didn’t want to leave!! We arrived at the resort at 2.30am and check in was quick and easy and the reception team were lovely. The resort itself was so nice and extremely clean, there is hand sanitizer around the hotel, near all the toilets and in the rooms. The hotel must only have been at about 50% capacity so no where was ever too crowded and as we are all in very odd times with coronavirus, we all felt really safe here which was a lovely feeling. Our rooms were next door to each other as requested and the room itself was amazing!! It was extremely spacious with a very modern design and was cleaned every couple of days and towels were replaced. The food was very good in both the restaurant and pool snack bar and there was a lot of choice, there is definitely always something for everyone and the waiter staff within both places were really nice and friendly and always made you feel comfortable, especially Alex from the main restaurant and Dimitris from the Pool snack bar. The activities during the day were always fun and with such a huge entertainment team there is always something to do, they are also really good at leaving you alone if you don’t want to join in with the activities and just want to chill. They were also amazing at making sure everything was sanatized during activities and that everyone felt safe. For us Jordan, Alexandra & Manuela were all stand outs as they were so friendly and made such an effort with us. The lifeguards around the pool were all really nice, especially Laza who made an effort to get to know us and make us feel comfortable. There were also water slides which brought all of our group a lot of excitement. Some of the nicest people we met while we were there were the bar staff and they most definitely helped to make our holiday as amazing as it was George who works at the main pool bar was so nice and friendly, he ended up learning our orders and was always so pleased to see us. Panos would cover lunchtime at the pool bar and he was always a joy to be served by and was always up for a chat. Thodoris was one of the most genuinely lovely people we have ever met, he was a waiter in the day time but was also training on the bar. He brought us such joy every time we saw him and he was always so pleasant to talk to! On the hotels beach there is a station for water sports, these are at an extra cost as are not run by the hotel however they are well worth the money and helped to make our holiday incredible!! The only downside was that where there is not much around the hotel so we got a taxi to Gennadio which was only a 15 minute drive and it cost us €60 there and back which we felt was quite pricey. We stayed in the hotel for the other nights of our holiday and had an equally if not better time while in the hotel. Overall we had the most amazing holiday and I would highly recommend TUI Magic Life Plimmiri to anyone families, friends and couples and I would love to go back one day (hopefully soon!!)

Covid in Rhodes is taken pretty seriously. Passenger landing form has to be completed in advance, Face masks mandatory in airport and all public transport. In resorts Face Masks to be worn in all indoor public areas. These measures made us feel far safer in Rhodes than in the UK currently. We had a minibus transfer from the Airport to the resort (TUI) and it took about 80mins (again with a mask on). This resort is about as far removed from a local town as is possible. Do not expect to be able to leave the resort and go for a walk locally to find shops, pharmacy etc.. It’s on the beach in the middle of nowhere. Car hire is available on site if you choose to explore but we actually enjoyed the distance. The staff in the resort were generally excellent, especially in the WunderBar and the Adults only bar upstairs. Special thank you to Christoph and Maryana who made us feel very welcome and looked after us really well. It can be hard to communicate through face masks in the restaurant but it just has to be done, very easy to get used to. The food in the main restaurant we felt was actually pretty good. Generally, a wide variety and always fresh and hot. We tried the Flavor and Down town A La Carte Restaurants and we were really impressed, I feel these are not advertised well enough as they were far better than we had expected. We were upgraded to a Swim up Double room and it was a fantastic touch, the gold Zone is superb. In general, for a Post Covid break this place was amazing, Great Value, Great People and a great Holiday. The resort was we think about 40% full so perhaps at full capacity the experience would have been different. Weather in Sep was amazing, 28-30 degrees every day. We found the resort had a great mix of European Guests, Lots of German families, French and English/Scottish too. They manage to accommodate us all really well which is great. We are considering rebooking for next year as we had a really great time here.
