Holiday Tags: Rhodes

We stayed at the Horizon Studios the week commencing 16th May 2009. For anyone that knows Lindos, they are situated approximately a 5 minute walk up towards the hills at the top of the ‘big ‘ hill going into Lindos village. I would say a leisurely 15 mins in all to get into the main square. The apartments are very new & spotless & the best i have seen in Greece at this price range, even with a corner bath!. Stavros serves all the usual snacks etc at the pool bar/ restaurant & food is of a good quality. To be honest, i cant fault these apartments in any way & look forward to returning soon.

we stayed in the Anseli apartments, please note a two star rated hotel but we had our rooms cleaned every day beds made, the owners lulu, daughters liza, & co lovely,the food was great, the barman great, all very nice. Remember Greece has a slow amble about it so you have to be in the mind set but it’s a great value clean & friendly hotel.

We stayed at Pefki Island last July and are returning to the new sister hotel this year. We had a wonderful time - Pefkos is a lovely place. Perhaps not as picturesque as say Lindos but much better for families. The pool area is very clean and the pool bar does very good snacks. The management did take a stand on the towel problem (which you get everywhere)when we were there and removed all unattended towels for a day or so which seemed to help. I must take issue with some of the previous comments about the hotel. It is made perfectly clear on the Thomson website that the air con is charged locally. I had concerns over this and emailed Pefki Island directly. I received very prompt, polite reply with all the info we needed and budgeted accordingly. Also, the comments re the entertainment. Ok it wasnt great but for people who didnt want to venture far from the apartments it was fine. I cant understand why people are sitting in their rooms at this time of night anyway! suerly you wold be out having a meal etc? Most evenings we returned home at about 10 ish and the noise didnt bother us one bit and we were staying at the top pool where the entertainment took place. The people who run Pefki Island and the sister accommodations do an excellent job. If you are planning to go to Pefkos you could not do better than to stay here.

We have just come back today from Rhodes. I think that this hotel must have taken on the comments from last year as there was nothing that we would find fault with in the hotel or with the staff.
The food was great on Sunday they even did roast beef!
The animation team were superb we had great fun doing the poolside activities while my 6 year old was at the kids club.
Every night there was something different going on at the ampitheatre including the mini disco that was on for six of the seven nights. Which we joined in with every night.
It is definately a 3*+ hotel but if you pay peanuts you can’t expect a 5* resort.
I think a lot of people writing the reviews should join in with the animation team and have fun, they would enjoy their holidays a lot more.

Anthi Maria is very basic and are quite old apartments, but in a great location right on the beach. Bit of a pain though as you have to get the AC remote from Pallas travel which is the other side of Pefkos. There are better places to stay in pefkos, but Anthi is usually listed as one of the cheap choices. If you want a no-frills holiday then go for it.

PS: take a torch as the road is unlit and not really suitable for young ladies alone.
