Esperos Village Blue and Spa-Adults Only

"What a fantastic adults-only hotel! You lack nothing. Friendly staff, delicious food and lovely swimming pools. Noula and Olga have always spoiled us at the restaurant. We were here for the second time and therefore got a nice surprise on the first and last day. The hotel is on a mountain with a beautiful view. There are buses that take you down or up or even to the beach. We are not ruling out a third stay in this beautiful hotel."

"We booked a country room and I’d sent over an email requesting one which had the maximum amount of sun on the terrace. We just wanted to chill out there rather than at the main pool. What we got was a dark room whose terrace lost the sun at 9.30am, I did request a new room and a couple of days later we got a fantastic room. The same grade but with a lovely sunny terrace and view. We also felt the first room ( 118) was older….might be wrong! There was no sofa in there and the fridge took a good shove to actually shut it. The wardrobe had a curtain in the new room which was fab rather than doors which when opened got in the way of the main door and bathroom. The private pools are cold, bear this in mind, it’s more of a plunge pool The receptionists and dining room staff were amazing and lovely as were the drivers who ferried us around. Can’t say the same for one of the bar staff who was sullen, moody and at times quite rude! We picked a sun bed on our first day and used the call button for drinks, nobody came so I trekked to the bar and was told the button won’t work today as it’s attached to a bar that’s not open! The bar that was closed was being used for a photo shoot!! We had three spa treatments, we loved them. The staff were so nice and it felt really luxurious and relaxing. . We loved the food and the gym was nicely equipped and clean. So our new room 146 is among the numbers to ask for if having sun on your terrace and pool is important to you. It’s easy to get lost if you decide to walk around so be prepared for that, we didn’t mind as it was fun seeing all the different alleyways. We loved the tip from someone’s review on here to refill your water bottles from the gym rather than keep buying them…..thank you. The onsite shop is brilliant and fairly priced, we brought our own alcohol from duty free on the way here so we just bought mixers from the shop. A little tip for the actual restaurants…..the butter is nowhere near the bread!!! Look for the table with salad stuff on it. On the whole we had a really nice week, would we come again??? Probably not unless we were going to book direct and get a better room higher up. We came with EasyJet holidays and the room we had was the best one they offered."

"This hotel’s main advantage is its staff, they are all really exceptional from house keepers to reception team, from its drivers to dining room personal and they all work so hard to make you feel special. Special Thanks to Andrea from guest relations, she is always helpful and looks for ways to go extra mile to anticipate your needs before you even bring it to her attention. Dining Room staff is really on the ball, they work so hard to keep you happy. Special thanks to Kemal, true gentleman and so kind to his team members. They all speak so highly of him. Congratulations to him for being a father recently. Not to forget Harris, Nisa, Ron Ron, and all the others, they are all so kind and helpful. I will miss my double Greek Coffee with little sugar in the mornings and remember them when I make my own at home. Once they know you and what you like ie coffee, tea etc they do it before you even ask them which I call a great service. I hope they are being well looked after as they all work so hard for the company, remember ‘happy staff, happy customers’ Not to forget Zeevan, pool towel person, so polite and so kind, great customer service. Facilities is great except beach option. There is a bus service to their sister hotel’s beach area but they charge €20 per couple which I found is a bit unnecessary as it’s your sister hotel and our booking site did not mention that, not hotel’s fault but nevertheless is not necessary, bear in mind the beach is definitely not sandy beach and sea entry is full of big stones/rocks which is very uncomfortable to even walk in it, so it’s not worth the payment anyways. We stayed in one of the private pool rooms, it is good to have it but even if you don’t have private pool there is a lot of section beside the two pool area you would feel comfortable. It’s Adults only and no loud music so it’s relaxing and quiet at all times. Dining in the evenings with different themes is great idea, having a plated starter option is great bonus, I think you should do that for the mains as well. One suggestion I would make is to make a grill option and do it in front of the guest ie not on the display just bbq on the go, that would be a great addition/show, the dessert section needs a makeover as there are too many jellied coloured desserts and very similar to each other. But overall you would find something you like and you won’t go hungry. We went to Rhodes old town twice and Lindos once with public busses, it’s cheap and easy however coming back from Rhodes and Lindos bus service a little bit unorganised, once you are in the bus you are ok. We loved the Rhodes old town, there is a lot to see and a lot of great shopping options, I couldn’t say the same for Lindos. It’s a tourist trap with expensive shops and restaurants with no good food or services, definitely not recommend the acropolis, entry is €20pp and absolutely nothing in it apart from the view for the photos which you can take elsewhere without entering the acropolis itself. Rhodes is great place to be, would we come back not so sure, looking for new destinations always but if we come back we would stay the same hotel again. Once again thanks to all the staff working here in Esperos Village Blue and Spa for their hard work to make our holiday a memorable one."
