Lindian Dream Seaside Resort

"We are disappointed with our stay. The staff were miserable and inefficient. Do not expect basic greetings or a smile, it gives the whole resort a sad energy. We wanted to have a pre dinner cocktail in the bar but waited 20 minutes before cancelling because we needed to get to dinner, even though there were four bar staff and the bar was nearly empty! Expect to wait at reception for 30 or 40 minutes each time you need to taxi into town. We asked the bar to call reception for us to book a taxi, and when we arrived at reception this hadn’t been done at all. Breakfast was the same every day and underwhelming. The worst part of breakfast was the waiters who struggle with simple requests coffee and water, they are also just rude. The rooms are dated and filthy (stained pillow Cases, mouldy bathrooms). Would not stay here again"

"This hotel is just outside the resort of Lindos. From the moment we stepped out of our transport from the airport we were met with wonderfully attentive hotel staff and offered a welcoming drink. We booked three rooms that were spotlessly clean with very good AC. Each day we would return to our rooms to find various treats left by housekeeping. Little touches that made out trip more special. The pool and private beach was never overcrowded with plenty of sunbeds and beach towels. There was always lots of staff to cater to all our needs. The pool bar had a wonderful selection of food and drink at reasonable prices. My I add, the food was outstanding. This hotel ticked all out boxes and more. We will definitley be returning."

"We have just returned from an incredibly special holiday at the Lindian Dream Seaside Resort in Rhodes and we are already planning another visit. The hotel has an amazing, tranquil location, right on its own small, private beach, making it an ideal haven for relaxation. It is easy to explore the local area and the resort is situated right between Lindos and Pefkos. A taxi ride to either town only takes about five minutes and costs a very reasonable €10. We did see bus stops and apparently, it is possible to walk to Lindos, but it was so hot that we did not try. The outdoor facilities are real highlight. The resort features a large swimming pool, with warm water and plenty of space for everyone to swim/chill with a book. Best of all, there are absolutely no ‘sunbed wars’ here. There were plenty of loungers for everyone, both by the pool and on the private beach, completely eliminating any morning stress. There are even cabanas on the beach, which are free to use. Guests took full advantage of late breakfasts served until 11am and there were always empty beds, no matter what time we arrived at the pool. This made such a difference and made our holiday so much more relaxing. We looked forward to the buffet breakfast every morning, which had something for everyone, including eggs cooked to order on request. The staff were very warm and welcoming and the restaurant manager did a great job, circulating and greeting everyone. Special thanks to the lovely waiters who brought delicious fresh orange juice and coffee to our table with smiles and a friendly chat. The main restaurant, ‘Navarone’ offers a set menu every day, with several options and the beach bar transforms to an a la carte restaurant in the evening, with views that cannot be beaten. Prices are very reasonable. There are two great bars, serving delicious cocktails and perfectly chilled beer/wine. We enjoyed the beach bar in the afternoons and after our evening meals, the more formal bar offered a great spot to enjoy a nightcap, listening to the waves lapping against the beach. There is no animation team (which suited us), but there was live music on a couple of the evenings. The hotel has a spa, with reasonably priced treatments and a small gym. We came with good intentions, but as the small space was not air conditioned, it was simply too hot to use. This might be something for the management to consider, particularly as there are large social spaces with a ping pong table, billiards and table football, so plenty of room for a bigger gym better suited to the adult-only clientele. As other reviews highlight, the bedrooms are a little dated. However, they are perfectly adequate, exceptionally clean, and come with two major plus points: fantastic, powerful showers and great air conditioning, essential for the Rhodes heat. We had dressing gowns, slippers and a free safe, together with a small ‘fridge, which was filled with a bottle of mineral water each day. What truly elevates this resort though, is the staff. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The service across the entire hotel was fantastic and everyone works incredibly hard to ensure hotel guests have the best possible experience. We also really appreciated the lovely little gifts left for us, such as a bottle of wine on arrival and chocolates. These thoughtful details made us feel genuinely valued. A huge thank you to all the staff at Lindian Dream for giving us such a memorable and rejuvenating holiday. We would definitely recommend this wonderful spot to anyone seeking a relaxing and peaceful holiday and we can’t wait to return."
