"We celebrated our 21st consecutive year at this luxurious and relaxing hotel during the period of September and October 2026, which remains our favourite destination. The hotel continues to evolve, adding thoughtful features that enhance the guest experience and make every holiday special.
Upon arrival, we received our customary warm welcome. A helpful and courteous receptionist checked us in efficiently and arranged for an equally attentive bellboy to escort us to our room.
Our spacious Elite room featured a balcony and a direct sea view, making our stay especially memorable. The sunrise and the moonlight shimmering across the sea were truly breathtaking.
The housekeeping team provided an excellent service, keeping our room spotless throughout our stay and replacing the bathroom towels twice daily.
Our Elite room also included a Nespresso coffee machine, along with tea- and coffee-making facilities. Coffee, tea, milk and sugar were replenished every other day.
The hotel enjoys a peaceful beachfront location, with Rhodes Town and Faliraki easily reached by bus or taxi. Epsilon shopping centre, home to a selection of shops and bars, is approximately a 20-minute walk away. A bus to Epsilon costs €1.50–€2.00, while a taxi from the hotel is approximately €13.50.
The food was excellent, with plenty of choice for every taste. Waiter service is available in the dining room three or four times a week, including themed nights. Our favourite waitress, Maria, consistently welcomed guests with a smile and put their needs first, even when busy. We always requested her, though we are confident the other waitresses are equally dedicated. Special thanks also go to F&B Manager Vangelis and to Kostas, who were always helpful, cheerful and a pleasure to chat with.
It was somewhat disappointing to see that a minority of guests did not adhere to the evening dress code, with some wearing sports shorts, T-shirts, and sandals. However, it was delightful to observe that the majority of holidaymakers were elegantly dressed.
We highly recommend dining at the Thalassa à la carte restaurant by the beach, which offers an excellent selection of dishes with generous portions and an outstanding service.
The Poseidon Beach Bar is an excellent place to enjoy food and drinks, particularly at lunchtime. It offers a varied menu with generous portions. If you have a smaller appetite, simply ask your waiter for a dish to share; the team is always happy to accommodate. The waiters provided exceptional service throughout our visits. They were polite, helpful and good-humoured.
Whilst on the beach around lunchtime a man came round selling good size portions of various fruits at a cost €5 which were delicious.
Live entertainment is available either outdoors or indoors, depending on the weather, for everyone to enjoy. For those who love to dance, the hotel hosts an excellent Disco Extravaganza every Sunday night presented by DJ George who is always a pleasant person to talk to.
If you haven’t tried the hotel’s spa facilities, we strongly recommend a visit—they offer reasonable prices and a relaxing experience.
The staff and waiters at the Poseidon Beach Bar and Mythos Bar provided exceptional service throughout our stay. They were consistently polite, helpful, and had a great sense of humour.
Our special thanks to Demetrius, Meika, Paul, Panagiotis, Fillo, Joanne, Maria Chrisanthi and her twin sister Michaella for their prompt greetings and cheerful service, which made our holiday extra special.
The hotel receptionists were always helpful and polite. It was a pleasure to see the night receptionist, Milonakis who was consistently cheerful and most helpful with a smile.
Finally, our heartfelt thanks go to Stephanie, Chryssa and the management team for their warm hospitality and excellent service during our two-week stay. We are especially grateful to Director General Alexandros Mortzos for his wonderful hospitality.
Our next holiday is already booked for June 2027, and we can’t wait to return to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary.
Francis & Lynda"
