A wonderful new boutique, at the entrance you will be greeted by a wonderful administrator who will help you with any questions. The kitchen has friendly staff. Breakfasts are delicious, everything is enough, the only thing we wanted was more varied food, but if you don't stay a week like we did, it will be enough. The cleaning staff is wonderful, every day they ask if we need cleaning, when we left a tip they made us a beautiful swan from towels, it was touching because we did not expect it. The territory is good, despite the fact that there is an air strip over the hotel and planes fly quite often, the hotel is quiet, we had an incredible 119 room with beautiful views of the sunset. The beach is nearby, but it is pebbly, I advise you to take special shoes. The hotel left a good impression, thank you 🫶🏻

This hotel fully met our expectations, and in some aspects even exceeded them. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, quite spacious for a hotel, and having a private terrace with direct access to the pool added even more to the holiday mood. Housekeeping was done every day, so whenever we returned from the sea, the room was always clean and cozy. The soundproofing was quite good, except for the occasional noise when someone used the stairs in the neighboring room, but it was hardly noticeable. I especially want to highlight the hotel’s restaurant. This is a separate point and a huge advantage of the hotel. The breakfasts served there were incredibly delicious, included in the room price, and for an additional fee, we could enjoy VERY tasty lunches and dinners with beautifully presented dishes. Since we mostly dined at restaurants during our stay, this was probably the best restaurant on the entire island, with surprisingly reasonable prices. I would also like to mention Angela, one of the hotel restaurant staff members — thanks to her, this vacation became one of the best in our lives. A personal recommendation: ask Angela for advice on restaurants in Rhodes if you want to try some local cuisine. Every recommendation she gave was spot on and of the highest quality. Thank you very much for this experience!

Room 3123: I highly recommend this hotel. This is our sixth visit to Greece and definitely the best hotel we have stayed in. We liked it so much that we want to accommodate our wedding guests here next year. The biggest advantages: - private beach with plenty of sun loungers - phenomenal food, a mix of local and European cuisine - very, very friendly and helpful staff, girls at the reception and cleaning ladies 10/10 - the hotel creates an “experience,” i.e., it transports guests to more distant parts by electric cart, gives them fruit and wine as a welcome gift, etc. - for me, probably one of the most important things : cats are treated very well here, and as we know, in Greece this varies. Of course, there are stray cats here, but they are fat, everyone pets them, they go where they want and no one chases them away. I don't understand where some of the negative reviews come from. If I wanted to, I wouldn't have anything to complain about. I highly recommend it!

The staff were absolutely the standout at this property! The property was absolutely perfect for our needs as a family of 4 (2 kids, 6 and 4), we had the junior suite with pool. It was modern, spacious, well equipped, clean. The place itself was perfectly located - a short walk into Chora, even for our small kids, and a short drive to Lavadi (you can walk in approx 10 mins, but we didn’t dare as the walk back with kids is quite steep and we had a car, so opted to take it each time). The main pool area is stunning, as is the restaurant and the breakfast is SUPPERB! We also ate in the restaurant for dinner twice and found it to be the best on the island (we enjoyed the Italian for a change to Greek food). However, the cherry on the top for us with this place was every single staff member. A very special shout out to Leo and Irine, who could not have done more for us, they went out of their way to ensure we had an incredible experience and were left needing nothing. They also made our kids feel so special and our kids LOVED them both. Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a magical week we had as a family in Astypalia. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

We chose this hotel because it’s relatively new – and it fully met our expectations. The rooms are bright, clean, and well-kept. The territory is very green, everything is within easy reach. The sea is just a 3-minute walk away, but be careful: there are small paths on the hotel grounds that lead directly to the beach. On our first day, we went the long way around and got a bit lost so make sure to use those shortcuts. If you want to go to town, walk along the beach – it’s much quicker than going around all the hotels by road. Lindos is only about 20 minutes away by bus. We traveled a lot around the island, but keep in mind that the hotel itself is quite far from the airport and old town, so plan accordingly. The staff deserves special mention – very friendly, always smiling, and wishing you a good day. It really creates a homely atmosphere. The food was simply amazing: every day there was something different, including mussels and shrimp, delicious fruits, and desserts even with baklava and other local sweets. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. This is truly a hotel that lives up to its description and is worth the price.

We liked apsolutely everything about the Apollo Beach Hotel. This place is simply amazing. We will definitely come back there. We went to other places in Rhodos, but this was far the best concerning money and quality. The beach is phantasic - first there is gras and enough shadow to chill, then you have a sand beach all the way to the water. The beach is just in front of the hotel and it is one of the best beaches - clean and no stones. The hotel is very clean, the breakfast and dinner are super delicious with a lot of choice, the people are friendly and you feel very welcomed, there is a shop in the hotel if you need to buy something, the beach bar is great with delicious fresh made smoothies and great coffee. They even have almond and soya milk, if you don't use cow milk, which is not usual in Rhodos. The Apollo Beach Hotel thought of everything. All you need you will find there. And we had an incredible sea view. All in one it was the best place to stay for a wonderful vacation. At the end we even got a present when leaving the hotel. Our next Rhodos trip we will book for sure at Apollo Beach Hotel.

The pools are so good and clean, my kids love the aqua park with the slides. Pool bar serv drinks all day to midnight. The beach is about a 15 minutes walk from the hotel, but there is a shuttle bus to the beach many times up to 16.30 in the afternoon. Very good activities for the kids and the adults every day in the evening.

We liked the medieval walled town with its historic buildings and sights from different cultures, interesting museum, lots of shops and restaurants. All without traffic. We liked the harbours with opportunities for various boat trips. We stayed in a good hotel right on the beach with lovely views of the beach and sea right across to Turkey. It was within a 10/15 minutes walk to the Old Town. Overall staying in Rhodes town surpassed our expectations.

Lovely chilled and laid back island. Great activities, we were there for a family holiday but the amazing climbing was pretty central and the diving (Kalymnos Diving Club) was great too. Beaches not busy and plenty of then (if small) all around the island. Very good value and food always of a good standard. We rented a car, the island is easy to get around and nowhere is very far

Note this review is for Stegna, not the main village on the hill. Its really a lovely spot for a beach style holiday. Places for fishing, chilling, enjoying eating, a lovely walk. Perfect chill spot with a family feel. If you are looking for night life and big hotels, this is not the spot for you. We did not know there was a kayak company on site so we had pre-booked with Trekking Hellas so had to drive North to the start but it was a lovely trip with double kayaks.

We had no car so we enjoyed exploring by walking and finding that distances were not that large - for example our best walk was uphill from Skala to Chora (and mainly on footpaths, not roads), then downhill to Grikos Bay, then along the coast past an interesting large rock formation to some shipyard, then a bit of road to the opposite coast finishing with a short interesting hike to Psili Ammos beach with wonderful golden sands! After swimming and a good taverna meal we walked back to Grikos Bay and then took a bus back to Skala. The bus timetable was not too large and we found we had to plan well if wanting to get the bus back home on any occasion but then again taxis probably would not cost much, it is a small island after all. Plenty of bakeries in Skala but you might find that one has a lot of sweet cakes and no croissants, so keep hunting till you find what you want! If we had had more time we would have taken the Patmos Star ferry to Leros for the day but at least we know for next time. There is a small beach in the harbour opposite Ammos Cafe - cafe on the sandy beach and one changing cubicle - we never got round to swimming there but it always looked clean and attractive for a dip!

Beautiful island with amazing Italianate architecture.

Beautiful island with amazing Italianate architecture. Lots of wonderful, reasonably priced eateries. Everywhere felt safe in terms of very low crime. But beware that there are few beaches within walking distance of the main town. You have to rely on ferry taxis and they don't run after about October 18th. I can imagine it gets so much busier everywhere in mid-season and maybe it is not as relaxing as we found it at the end of the year.

This is an amazing small village with still a lot to do.

This is an amazing small village with still a lot to do. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping possibilities, and the best for most people is a street full of wine-tasting shops. You can buy there the best wine, olive oil, and other local products. The people are really heartwarming and friendly. The location is also really good. With a car, you can go in every direction at almost the same time because you're in the center of the Island. And the most spectacular is the view over the mountains and the sea
