Lindian Dream Seaside Resort

"A fantastic resort in a scenic location. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and there was a good selection for lunch. There were several restaurants, including a fine-dining option that we really enjoyed. The staff were friendly and helpful overall, but Maria at the front desk and Mikes in the restaurant were in a league of their own—it’s wonderful to meet people who always go above and beyond to take care of their guests"

"We recently stayed at Lindian Dream and had a lovely holiday overall. The hotel is in a beautiful location and feels very peaceful and quiet, which is exactly what we were looking for. The beach area is lovely and quiet, and the pool was also really nice for relaxing during the day. The hotel is also only around a five-minute taxi ride from Lindos town, which made it really convenient to explore without staying in the middle of the busy tourist area. The food was genuinely amazing and one of the highlights of our stay, although we did find it quite expensive at times. That said, there are definitely a few areas that need improvement. Service was quite poor throughout our stay, particularly when ordering drinks, where there were often very long waits. It felt like a lot of the waiting staff were new and still finding their feet — everyone was friendly and polite, but quite inexperienced, which sometimes affected the overall experience. There also seemed to be a few teething problems operationally. For example, taxis we had asked reception to order were not always arranged, which became frustrating. Housekeeping also wasn’t quite up to scratch; toiletries were not consistently refilled and the rooms could have been maintained better. The rooms and bathrooms felt a little dated compared to expectations, and while the beach is beautiful, it is quite rocky, which made swimming difficult. Overall, we had a really nice stay because of the location, food and peaceful atmosphere, but with some improvements to service and housekeeping, this hotel could be excellent."

"We booked a last minute holiday to Lindian Dream and have to say that the photos of the pool and beach were just as spectacular in real life. The actual setting of the hotel is amazing but it really isn’t a 5* as advertised. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Maria on reception. She was so welcoming and throughout the week would always make an effort to speak to us. The rooms are small and lack in storage. The air con didn’t really do much all week and the only plug sockets were by the TV. The shower was good though and balcony was decent. The rooms are cleaned every day and you get a bottle of water from the cleaner which was a nice touch. Breakfast was underwhelming. Not much choice but enough to be able to have something. For a 5* I would have expected a lot more. The pool area was lovely and quiet when we stayed which took the stress out of finding a bed. The views are amazing and it was very relaxing watching the boats on the water. The staff at the pool bar though were really lacking in customer service and seemed very young and inexperienced. At times it felt quite stressful and one of the managers could be quite rude to customers. The service was also slow. In our opinion, the drinks are very overpriced - 9 euro for a glass of wine and 12 euro for a cocktail seems excessive for a pool bar, and whilst the food was good and mostly fairly priced, there aren’t many ‘snacks’ on the menu. There are no bins at the pool so we found ourselves taking our rubbish back to the rooms each day. Lindos is about a half an hour walk from the hotel which we enjoyed. We also went into Pefkos but that’s a bit too far to walk. It’s a 5 min drive but the taxi fare is a standard 13 euro which felt expensive. Overall, we had a lovely relaxing week but the hotel definitely needs some improvements to live up to the 5* rating."
