Delfinia Resort Hotel

"Honest review. We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children 13,13 and 15). We arrived and as requested previously via email, I asked for a family room instead of the 2 double rooms that we were initially allocated, we were given a family room with its own pool! The room was spacious, clean and the beds were ok - one of the double beds were a little hard, but it was ok. The bathroom needed a little TLC as some of their DIY efforts were little to be desired, but this didn’t really affect the holiday. The pool area was lovely, clean and sun beds were plentiful. The lifeguard was prompt every morning and stood on guard from the slides from 10am. He was Nice enough. The food - well this, in my opinion, is where they need to improve. Breakfast was the same daily - small selection of cereal, bacon, egg, sausages, beans, toast and salad?? There was not enough variety of pastries and no pancakes as mentioned on the website. It might not be a deal breaker for some, but as a parent with a child with dietary requirements this was quite important in order to ensure she ate breakfast daily. Lunch was the same - breads ,chips, gyros, pittas and any left overs from the previous night. They had a different theme every night - asian, Italian, bbq etc and some of it was ok but again but not much variety. The snack bar - this was in the wrong place (again my opinion) as it was away from the pool, and you had to go through reception to the far end of the hotel where the evening entertainment was - there was some ice cream, some small cakes and, if you were lucky, some left over pizza. The restaurant staff were efficient and always smiling and greeted you as you walk in. Entertainment- SARA IS OUTSTANDING and is an asset to the hotel! She worked tirelessly to try and encourage people to join in with water polo, water aerobics. She interacted with every guest in that hotel - and sometimes would be spoken to quite rude - but she kept smiling and moved on. Her “team leader” sometimes appeared and followed her round, but I never actually saw him do anything! It wasn’t until our last night (the second to last night of the season) that we found out they were understaffed and he had clearly lost all spark for the job! The hotel is in a decent location and walking distance to a beach and some bars and shops. There is a bus stop just around the corner where you can go to -many places like Rhodes and Lindos for example. Did all of the above dampen our family holiday spirits? Not at all - we were happy with the sun and the swimming pool. Would we return to the hotel? No"

"Very nice place. Great persons. The food was excellent very delicious. The bar is very lovely! The rooms are clean. Its a good place to holiday"

"Have returned back to the UK today after a 5 day stay at this hotel. I was with my 2 daughters for this trip. Loved the hotel and the staff were brilliant. The area is remote. There are lovely shops near by and beach is walking distance. Myself and my kids enjoyed the pool. Very relaxed environment. I would book this hotel again. Good location and facilities for a relaxed family holiday."
