Rodos Palace Hotel

RP is old tired and should be gutted and completely refurbished. It needs a massive updating. The Staff are overworked and it shows. The first room I stayed in looked fine but the bathroom was unusable due to a lack of maintenance. The staff gave me a second room. This room had a bathroom that worked appropriately. The beach was bad. Small stones between toes not good. The beach should be sanded. The personal touch, because of resort size, is lacking. The HT Mngr was nowhere to be seen. I never met HT Mngr in RP not once. The resort is too big and needs updating. The breakfast, cooked, is a joke. The buffet needs changing.

it was great

Hotel is in front of the beach. we booked the room with sea view. it's really worth: nice sea view, sunset... breakfast and dinner buffet are good. Breakfast buffet is same every day. but Dinner buffet is different everyday. However, for the dinner, if you are man and want to sit in the main restaurant, you need to dress long pants. otherwise, you cannot enter. But if you are a girl, you can enter with shorts. Pity there's no information about this. reception people are cold. it seems that they don't expect you ask any questions. room cleaning is not good. there is sands on the floor, but it's cleaned.

Disgusting service. Staff do not care. This is not a 5 star hotel, 3 at best.

Close to the airport and as close to the sea as you possibly could be. Hotel is situated just off the main road in a region with several other hotels and extremely close to a number of local shops/bars/restaurants. Local beech is a stone one so if you're looking for sand, it's a short drive away. Free parking at hotel with plenty of overflow spaces during busy periods. If you don't have a car, expect to need taxi's to see any of the sites. Pretty quiet area as you are away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. We were on the 5th floor and the room really wasn't as bad as some other reviews mention. They are a bit dated, but clean enough and functional. The sea view rooms have a great view of the sea and sunset. We had half board and the food was pretty good. Enough variety but after a week it gets fairly repetitive. FYI they charge extra for drinks. Pools were really nice and clean. The sun beds get reserved up pretty early in the morning. Evening entertainment in the dome area wasn't for us. Generic family friendly singing/dancing etc. but it gets really humid at night. Internally it's a big hotel, fully air conditioned with lots of areas to relax in to suit different age levels. All together a nice atmosphere and would recommend bearing in mind the reasonable price.
