Lindos Gardens – Lindos – Rhodes

We stayed in the middle block of the Lindos Gardens hotel & apartments halfway up the hill adjacent to the infinity pool. The rooms were basic but nicely furnished & very, very clean but due to having dark metal doors & no blackout blinds, were very hot a night (and very sunny at 5am!).

Unfortunately the Air con is 63 Euro per week which we thought given the current exchange rate a bit expensive. The kitchenette had a fridge, kettle & two rings & basic utensils. Because Lindos is one of the more expensive resorts it would have been nice to have been able to make breakfasts / lunch in the apt but we were limited due to it’s basic set-up. I know not everyone wants to cook on holiday but at 9euro per person for a small breakfast in the hotel & an average of 45euros for a two course meal & litre of wine for two people, it would come in handy.

The maid & porter service was second to none & the staff were extremely friendly. The hotel hires out laptops for you to use in your apt or by the pool as it has wireless internet. The drinks bar & main bar charge around 4euros per pint of local beer & 4. 5e to 5. 5e for a long drink. Prices in Lindos town are the same as it is a major day-tripper stop-off, however it was very beautiful & not a neon sign in sight!

The location of Lindos Gardens is at the top of the main entrance to Lindos, adjacent to the Lindos Horizon studios & the Eleni apts. All of these hotels are a good 10 minute walk up the steep hill from Lindos itself, but that’s fine for able bodied people. Honestly if you want a good package holiday to Lindos, then this & the Lindos Horizons are both great hotels.
