Caesars Gardens Hotel & Spa

"A beautiful small hotel away from the crowds of Lindos but within walking distance of the town and very close to the bus station. The pool and garden were beautifully kept and with plenty of sunbeds. The room was spacious and spotless. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfasts. The evening menu was a little limited but it was easy enough to walk into Lindos if you wanted something different. Would certainly recommend if you want a quiet, relaxing stay."

"Beautiful and comfortable hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food. Pool could have been warmer! Everything was really clean and anything you need us provided. Didn’t use the spa facilities but they looked good. About 20 mins walk into Lindos village and beach - easy downhill on the way there, uphill on the way back but taxis easy to get for about €5. Supermarket 5mins from hotel. Lots of lovely rooftop tavernas in Lindos. If you are fit and active do visit the Acropolis if only for the views."

"We stayed at Caesars Gardens & Spa in Lindos for our honeymoon. On first impressions the hotel is absolutely stunning – beautifully decorated, stylish and very chic. The grounds are immaculate, the pool is large with plenty of comfortable Bali beds, and the non-heated outdoor jacuzzi is a lovely touch. The atmosphere is super chill and relaxing with tasteful background music (never too loud or “in your face”), and the resident cats wandering around make it feel even more charming. There’s also a handy little supermarket just down the road which is great for stocking up on extras. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, and overall the food we had on site was genuinely nice. That said, a lot didn’t live up to five-star expectations: • Wi-Fi in the rooms is essentially non-existent; we had to keep the door open to get any signal. • Service was a let-down. The welcome was impersonal, the breakfast/restaurant staff seemed fed-up and standoffish, and despite flagging our honeymoon in advance there was no acknowledgement, card or any small gesture. • Breakfast was very poor compared with the rest of the food. Limited buffet, same options every day, no fresh fruit freely available apart from some tired apples; ordering fruit gets you a few slices of kiwi on an empty plate. Bread sits out for hours and is stale. • Pricing at lunch/dinner is high – e.g. €7 for tzatziki without bread, €6 for a Diet Coke – which feels steep even for a five-star. • Only two small bottles of water per day are provided free of charge. • No complimentary shuttle to town or the beach despite the steep walk, whereas other nearby hotels offer this. • Sunbeds are “reserved” at dawn and left empty for hours, which the hotel seems to allow – very frustrating. Overall, Caesars Gardens & Spa has the potential to be an incredible property: it’s visually gorgeous, the pool area is fantastic, and the atmosphere is wonderfully calm. But the inconsistent service, disappointing breakfast and overall stinginess took the shine off what should have been a special stay."
