What guests think
Across recent reviews, Ella Elissa - Adults Only impresses with stylish, modern spaces, numerous quiet pools, and quality dining, while feedback also notes occasional service slowdowns, hard-to-book restaurants, and a beach area that feels small and sometimes shared.
Many guests praise warm, helpful staff and well-kept facilities, plus extras like live music, an outdoor cinema, and a spa available (sometimes at the sister hotel for a fee). Rooms are modern and spacious, with some reporting noise near the main pool or neighboring resorts and a few mentioning temperature limits. Overall, expect a polished resort experience with great pools and food, but plan ahead for dining and bring patience for occasional lapses.

Facilities
Many praise the plentiful pools, evening entertainment (live music, outdoor cinema), and a spa (sometimes at the sister hotel for a fee). Repeated notes mention a small, shared beach, occasional loud music at the main pool/bar, sun-lounger reserving, a compact gym, and an adults-only feel that isn’t always consistent.

Beautiful hotel, very quiet and chilled. Lovely little escape for a mini moon. Loved our stay and staff were very friendly. Plenty of entertainment, such as live singer, DJ and outdoor cinema. We also enjoyed the indoor pool, sauna & stem room for an additional cost. Room very aesthetically pleasing, we had sharing pool very peaceful and clean.

The best hotel we have ever stayed in so far. Walking around the hotel the grounds are beautiful, the room was lovely - we paid for the cheapest room and ended up with a gorgeous sea view! Food was the best. We went all inclusive and the lunch and snacks were like restaurant food, not your typical lunch buffet/quick snacks you normally get at an all inclusive. The breakfast was also very nice. The buffet dinner was good, but there wasn’t much variety of meat. We did only eat there one night though, so perhaps the variety was less limited other days. The room service breakfast was amazing. The room service and the mini bar was all completely free - which isn’t usually the case for many all inclusives, there’s usually a few extra charges. The drinks were proper drinks, very well made, not too weak or strong like most all inclusives do. Private beach with comfy sun loungers, sun loungers around the pool were comfy. There was a lot of pools to choose from and you could always get a sun bed. Complimentary beach bag and towels. Not much walkable outside of the hotel but both Rhodes town and Lindos are very easy and quick to get to by car or bus. Perfect hotel if you’re into your wood / neutral decor, love good food and drinks and relaxing. Would 100% recommend and we will be back.

everything was amazing such a nice place but the gym is very small for the size of the hotel, and there's no jacuzzi or SPA what its a bummer for a place adults only and with 15 swimming pools ... they offer a spa on the sister hotel but you have to pay extra for a day pass, what's not ok.

We've not stayed at many resorts but were sucked in by the "luxury with tranquillity" and "adults only" marketing. Unfortunately that's all it is - marketing hype. A few good things - the food at the restaurants (although impossible to get reservations) + the sommelier Anastasia were stand outs. Cocktails were also exceptional; most of the team at the pool were great, there was an incident or two when we had to wait for them to finish their conversations before we were served, and the breakfast team also great. The Bad: There's no feeling of being valued guests, no recommendations of local sights / restaurants at check in. At the main pool, life guards were more interested in chatting up groups of young women on a party holiday than following up on the large groups of Israeli youths throwing each other in to the pool. The beach is not private (just sun beds) + you're sharing it with rather loud resorts blaring music all day, and screaming children running down the beach. There's no tranquility; music blaring from the beach, the main pool, and the surrounding bars (bring headphones!). Obnoxious guests taking video calls w/o headphones in the bar and in the restaurants; large groups of young men playing their own music at the pool or watching videos without headphones. A trolley outside our room. Room towels of quite poor quality, and often there was no bath mat. Guests reserving sun loungers, despite it not being allowed. So. Many. Influencers. Not really adults only.

We spent 7 nights at Elissa Resort on the Elevated Bliss package (all-inclusive) and loved every moment. It was our first time in Greece, and we’d return in a heartbeat—we only left the resort once to visit the Old Town! Room: Modern, spacious, and cozy—felt like a home away from home. The bed was large and comfy with a pillow menu. The minibar was restocked daily, and there were two TVs with YouTube and Chromecast options. The bathroom was roomy, though the open shower splashed a bit. Tip: bring small bags for disposing of toilet paper (not flushable in Greece), a travel iron, and pegs for the drying rack. Only downside: limited snacks (just oregano crisps and sesame bites). Dining: 4 restaurants: three à la carte (Fourni, Kavos, Masari) and one buffet (Fanes). Book à la carte early, though last-minute spots sometimes open. Food was exceptional—some of the best we’ve had. Breakfast at Fourni (reservation required) was great. Big thanks to Masari staff for the sweet birthday gesture! Activities & Nightlife: The beach is a 5-minute walk. We enjoyed the pools, bars, and activities like yoga, ceramics, and cooking classes—book early at the guest experience desk. The ceramic workshop with Theo was a highlight. Evenings were relaxed with live music and an outdoor cinema (free popcorn!). A few more entertainment options would be nice. Staff & Overall: Staff were warm, helpful, and made our stay extra special. Highly recommended for a relaxing, high-quality escape!

The hotel was very well presented and clean. Many pools to choose from which was beneficial because although it is an adults only hotel, the main pool attracted a very young, party crowd which was quite off putting for our taste. However, the smaller pools were a lot quieter and more to our taste. Service in the room was very adhoc, sometimes it was at 8am - sometimes 4pm. Turn down service also seemed to be very random, you either get it or you don’t. We did also have a random knock at the door at 10:30pm to ask if we wanted more towels?! The restaurants on offer were great but note that they get booked up very quickly so I’d recommend booking those asap. Taxis were easy to get outside of the hotel and it was close enough to the Old Town and New Town. The hotel bar was also quite ‘clubby’ and had loud heavy music, again not really our style. Rooms were lovely and spacious. Spa facilities were also really great and had a lot to choose from. Overall I would recommend the hotel to a young couple / group of friends - but perhaps not for a couple that are looking to relax in a serene adults only environment.

Was there for a week with the all inclusive package. Great deal and when I ate on property I ate very well. Also had a spa package and massage another day and both services were very good with great staff. And nice and full spa facilities (pool,sauna, human, cold room…) The only remarks I would have are: - For the whole week I was there I was told that all restaurants were “fully booked” for dinner and I was supposed to make reservations ahead of time. It would’ve been nice to know… luckily the staff at the dinner steak house were very kind and accommodating and made “space” and accepted me without a reservation so.. in case, just try asking directly at the restaurant instead of the front desk 😅 - It was a shame that the main pool bar stoped playing the lovely lounge music they played from 10am to 6pm just before sunset… maybe I was there in September and the schedule changes.. The weather was amazing by the pool. Nice breeze and warm sun! A part from these small details. Great stay. Great staff! Absolutely recommended and I look forward returning.

Das Hotel ist eine große Anlage, die wunderschön gestaltet ist. Durch die vielen Pools gibt es immer eine freie Liege. Die Restaurants sind wunderbar, ebenso wie die Zimmer und das Personal. Der Strand ist schön, wenn auch klein. Das Wasser leider je nach Wetter nur mäßig sauber. Was man unbedingt wissen sollte, ist dass das Elissa Hotel zu einem Resort gehört und direkt daneben das zugehörige Helea Familienhotel liegt. Heißt: Kinder sind bis auf Ausnahmen zwar am Strand nicht direkt zu finden, aber eben direkt nebenan. Und da es im Meer natürlich keine Abgrenzung geben kann…. Auch die Animation von nebenan schallt einem entgegen. Die Animationen und das Programm im Elissa Hotel sind vielfältig, auch wenn trotz Ankündigung nicht alles statt gefunden hat. Das Wine-Tasting ist hervorzuheben!!! Leider schallt die Live Musik am Ende sehr stark in die Zimmer, zumindest alles rund um den Main-Pool. Um aus dem Hotel zu kommen, muss man einmal durch das ganze Resort. Hier hilft bei Bedarf das Personal mit Golf-Carts. In näherer Umgebung zum Hotel gibt es ein paar gute Restaurants, ohne Mietwagen, Taxi oder gebuchten Extras, von denen es viele gibt, hat man aber fussläufig nicht so viele Möglichkeiten. Mit dem Auto ist man aber in wenigen Minuten in Rhodos Stadt und das ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Sowohl am Tag als auch am Abend. Wer am Pool relaxen will und abends gute Drinks und live Musik an der Bar sucht, ist hier genau richtig.

So beautiful, but have to wait hours for room service to delivery coffee items. Often having to ask multiple times. Noticed the floors were pretty dirty and towels/bed sheets typically have black/brown markings on them. The staff were very lovely, kind and helpful and the 15 pools meant they were very quiet which was great! The beach was gorgeous, however beds were reserved every day so could rarely find a space, despite the hotel mentioning reserved spaces will be removed. Buffet for breakfast was great! But lunch/dinner options were very expensive and the buffet €45 per person for mediocre food. Very beautiful hotel, but maybe not quite worth the expensive price you pay.

Die Unterkunft war an sich total schön und modern aber einiges war nicht ganz so toll. Die Zimmer waren nicht ganz sauber. Auf den Wänden waren Tiere, die den ganzen Aufenthalt nicht weg gemacht worden sind. Das Personal hat die Zimmer einfach betreten obwohl der Knopf ,Do not disturb‘ eingeschaltet war (das geht absolut garnicht!). Das Frühstück war groß und Abwechslungsreich, aber das Personal unorganisiert. Wir wurden teilweise garnicht gefragt, ob wir einen Kaffee möchten und wenn wir dann gefragt wurden waren wir mit dem Frühstück schon fertig und wollten gehen. (Den Kaffee kann man sich nicht selber holen, sondern das Personal nimmt die Bestellung auf).

Wir waren das zweite Mal hier und sind leider etwas enttäuscht worden. Die Auswahl an Speisen sowie die Qualität des Essens hat sich gegenüber des letzten Jahres stark verändert (verschlechtert). Der Service war ebenfalls sehr eingeschränkt, hier einige Beispiele: An der Pool Bar 1,5 Stunden auf ein Panini gewartet, angebotene Weine nicht verfügbar, 4-5 Gerichte des Menüs nicht verfügbar, Zimmer wurde nur auf Nachfrage gereinigt und dabei vergessen, die Minibar aufzufüllen. Wir waren im Restaurant Fourni (Fleischrestaurant) essen und haben zwei Mal ein T-Bone Steak bestellt, das leider beide Male vollkommen übergart war, sodass man die Hälfte wegschmeißen musste, was uns in der Seele wehgetan hat. Einziger Lichtblick an den Tagen war die Kellnerin Georgia, die wirklich alles versucht hat um den Abend zu retten. Im Großen und Ganzen ein schönes Hotel mit guter Speise- und Getränkekarte, leider allerdings weit weg von einem 5* Hotel wenn man solch einen Standard aus anderen Urlauben gewohnt ist.

A nice resort with spacious rooms. We liked the concept of the separate zones with a few rooms around a pool. The cleanliness of the rooms and pool areas were slightly lacking, for example the mirror was dirty upon arrival (someone had been putting their sun cream on and sprayed it on there), also there was a tissue stuffed in a door handle, shower gel was empty, no tv remote, amongst other small things that you wouldn’t expect. The pools themselves were clean but a couple of sunloungers were damaged and the beans from them were spilling everywhere and empty drinks were often not cleared all day. It was also very slow to get a coffee in the mornings at breakfast. The resort is quiet, which we enjoyed but we did have a hire car so that we could visit Lindos/Rhodes and beaches and although we saw bus stops I think a hire car would be necessary to reach most places. Overall the complex is nice, the gardens are nice, the breakfast was nice, the rooms are spacious and it was fine for a 4 night break. We went in May and so it was a very good deal but I’m not sure I would want to pay peak prices for my stay.

The hotel was very well presented and clean. Many pools to choose from which was beneficial because although it is an adults only hotel, the main pool attracted a very young, party crowd which was quite off putting for our taste. However, the smaller pools were a lot quieter and more to our taste. Service in the room was very adhoc, sometimes it was at 8am - sometimes 4pm. Turn down service also seemed to be very random, you either get it or you don’t. We did also have a random knock at the door at 10:30pm to ask if we wanted more towels?! The restaurants on offer were great but note that they get booked up very quickly so I’d recommend booking those asap. Taxis were easy to get outside of the hotel and it was close enough to the Old Town and New Town. The hotel bar was also quite ‘clubby’ and had loud heavy music, again not really our style. Rooms were lovely and spacious. Spa facilities were also really great and had a lot to choose from. Overall I would recommend the hotel to a young couple / group of friends - but perhaps not for a couple that are looking to relax in a serene adults only environment.

Die Atmosphäre und Sauberkeit des Resorts sind hervorragend, und das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Leider gab es einige Unannehmlichkeiten, die unseren Aufenthalt beeinträchtigt haben: Verfügbarkeit von Speisen: Im Restaurant Fourni waren sowohl der Tuna Tataki als auch das Filetsteak nicht verfügbar, und später gab es auch keinen Ribeye-Steak mehr. In einem Steakhouse sollte das nicht vorkommen. Frühstück: Es war nicht möglich, ein größeres Glas für Wasser zu bekommen, was bedeutete, dass man häufig nachfüllen musste. Street Food Hub: Das Essen war von schlechter Qualität und überteuert. Zimmerreinigung: Die Zimmer wurden nie gesaugt, was bei einem Strandhotel wichtig ist, um den Sand zu entfernen. Die Reinigung erfolgte oft spät am Nachmittag, was unpraktisch war, wenn man sich für das Abendessen fertig machen wollte. Das Vanity-Set fehlte wiederholt, und die gebrauchten Gläser wurden nicht ausgetauscht sondern einfach wieder umgedreht hingestellt. Duschen am Pool und Strand: Es gab nur wenige Duschen, was zu langen Wegzeiten führte. Lärm: Die Verbindungstüren in den Zimmern sorgten dafür, dass wir die Nachbarn deutlich hören konnten, obwohl sie nicht laut waren. Fitnesscenter: Das Fitnesscenter war für die Größe des Resorts zu klein. Kundenservice:Trotz mehrmaliger Meldung unserer Probleme schien es, als würden sie nicht effektiv weitergeleitet oder gelöst werden Erst nach einer längeren E-Mail wurde Kontakt mit uns aufgenommen und ein Entgegenkommen besprochen.

So beautiful, but have to wait hours for room service to delivery coffee items. Often having to ask multiple times. Noticed the floors were pretty dirty and towels/bed sheets typically have black/brown markings on them. The staff were very lovely, kind and helpful and the 15 pools meant they were very quiet which was great! The beach was gorgeous, however beds were reserved every day so could rarely find a space, despite the hotel mentioning reserved spaces will be removed. Buffet for breakfast was great! But lunch/dinner options were very expensive and the buffet €45 per person for mediocre food. Very beautiful hotel, but maybe not quite worth the expensive price you pay.

Hotel Elissa provided an outstanding holiday experience. We were accommodated in a beautiful Deluxe Seaview Swim-up room. We had the opportunity to indulge in exceptional cuisine, an impressive selection of wines and cocktails, enchanting live music, and DJs playing laid-back bar grooves.

Stunning place. I had a superior room with a sea view which was stunning. The entire hotel is picturesque and so clean, paired with a sultry ambiance. The staff were so polite and friendly too. Location is good, Old town Rhodes is just a 10-12 min drive away. Airport is 20 mins away or so. Cannot fault this hotel, so much to do here at the resort and on the beach (plenty of water sports activities) would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Rhodes. Thank you so much to all the staff at Elissa Lifestyle Resort. 10/10

Fin beliggenhet. Fantastisk service. Men det er veldig lytt mellom rommene. Man skvetter når døra på naborommet slår igjen. Sluken var tett i dusjen så det ble vann utover hele gulvet, ble fikset etter ett døgn. Lyset blinket på badet hele natten, gikk ikke ant å slå det av. Men det ble også fikset etter ett døgn. Men slikt kunne vært ordnet før man flytter inn. Man har ikke egne solsenger slik det kan virke på bildene. Så folk kommer litt tett på uteplassen om du ikke er tidlig ute. Vi hadde junior suite med delt basseng. Det deler man med mange. Flere som kommer dit har da ikke tilgang på toalett slik som vi med tilknyttede rom hadde så de gikk regelmessig ut i bassenget som ikke er oppvarmet. Personalet var fantastisk.

Elissa hält alles was es verspricht. Die Anlage ist definitiv so schön wie auf den Bildern. In den Sharing Pools entzerrt sich das Aufkommen der Gäste und es ist nicht „zu voll“. Der Strand ist wirklich klein - und am Ende der Anlage. Wenn man dort baden will kann es sein, dass man ein paar Schritte gehen muss, je nachdem wo man untergebracht ist. Zum reingehen sollte man sich darauf einstellen, dass es nicht seicht-flauschig-sandig sondern eher kiesig-steinig ist. Die Zimmer sind ein Traum, sehr hochwertig und edel, ordentlich, sauber. Open Plan Suite mit Sharing Pool und Sea View ein Traum. Vom Bett zum morgendlichen Schwimmen sind es 15 Schritte. Das Frühstucksbuffet lässt absolut keine Wünsche offen. Auch das Abendessen ist sehr reichhaltig und lecker, hochwertig auch. Wir haben nur Frühstück gebucht und sind flexibel extern oder zum internen Buffet gegangen. Das war optimal. Adults only trifft zu, wenn man sich vergegenwärtigt dass auch Erwachsene sich wie Kinder benehmen können. Alles in allem war es (abgesehen vom zentralen Pool) ruhig und entspannt. Ganz tolles Ziel - volle Punktzahl mit einem mini Abstrich zum Strand - dennoch jederzeit wieder.

We spent 7 nights at Elissa Resort on the Elevated Bliss package (all-inclusive) and loved every moment. It was our first time in Greece, and we’d return in a heartbeat—we only left the resort once to visit the Old Town! Room: Modern, spacious, and cozy—felt like a home away from home. The bed was large and comfy with a pillow menu. The minibar was restocked daily, and there were two TVs with YouTube and Chromecast options. The bathroom was roomy, though the open shower splashed a bit. Tip: bring small bags for disposing of toilet paper (not flushable in Greece), a travel iron, and pegs for the drying rack. Only downside: limited snacks (just oregano crisps and sesame bites). Dining: 4 restaurants: three à la carte (Fourni, Kavos, Masari) and one buffet (Fanes). Book à la carte early, though last-minute spots sometimes open. Food was exceptional—some of the best we’ve had. Breakfast at Fourni (reservation required) was great. Big thanks to Masari staff for the sweet birthday gesture! Activities & Nightlife: The beach is a 5-minute walk. We enjoyed the pools, bars, and activities like yoga, ceramics, and cooking classes—book early at the guest experience desk. The ceramic workshop with Theo was a highlight. Evenings were relaxed with live music and an outdoor cinema (free popcorn!). A few more entertainment options would be nice. Staff & Overall: Staff were warm, helpful, and made our stay extra special. Highly recommended for a relaxing, high-quality escape!

Sehr schöne Adult-Only Anlage, ca 12 km südöstlich von Rhodos-Stadt. Gehobenes, stilvolles Ambiente. Schöne Zimmer, gut durchdacht. Wir hatten 2 Zimmer direkt am Pool. Besser geht es kaum. Leider alle Pools jahreszeitlich bedingt noch etwas kalt mit 20 Grad C. Vier sehr gute Restaurants in der Anlage. Alle etwas teuer aber Rhodos ist nicht weit und bietet alles: vom Nightlife über Wassersport und aller Länder Küche. Wir kommen wieder

Over all, we loved Elissa, but we were confused as to why we could not get the room cooler at night to sleep. Our group likes the temperature to be 65 or below when we sleep and it was not something that could be accommodated for whatever the reason.

Das Hotel ist eine große Anlage, die wunderschön gestaltet ist. Durch die vielen Pools gibt es immer eine freie Liege. Die Restaurants sind wunderbar, ebenso wie die Zimmer und das Personal. Der Strand ist schön, wenn auch klein. Das Wasser leider je nach Wetter nur mäßig sauber. Was man unbedingt wissen sollte, ist dass das Elissa Hotel zu einem Resort gehört und direkt daneben das zugehörige Helea Familienhotel liegt. Heißt: Kinder sind bis auf Ausnahmen zwar am Strand nicht direkt zu finden, aber eben direkt nebenan. Und da es im Meer natürlich keine Abgrenzung geben kann…. Auch die Animation von nebenan schallt einem entgegen. Die Animationen und das Programm im Elissa Hotel sind vielfältig, auch wenn trotz Ankündigung nicht alles statt gefunden hat. Das Wine-Tasting ist hervorzuheben!!! Leider schallt die Live Musik am Ende sehr stark in die Zimmer, zumindest alles rund um den Main-Pool. Um aus dem Hotel zu kommen, muss man einmal durch das ganze Resort. Hier hilft bei Bedarf das Personal mit Golf-Carts. In näherer Umgebung zum Hotel gibt es ein paar gute Restaurants, ohne Mietwagen, Taxi oder gebuchten Extras, von denen es viele gibt, hat man aber fussläufig nicht so viele Möglichkeiten. Mit dem Auto ist man aber in wenigen Minuten in Rhodos Stadt und das ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Sowohl am Tag als auch am Abend. Wer am Pool relaxen will und abends gute Drinks und live Musik an der Bar sucht, ist hier genau richtig.

Check in very slow , left on the terrace for an hour and forgotten about. Service very slow in all bars. Waited 20 mins for a cappuccino and a cocktail most days. Cleanliness mainly very good but other than the main pool the other pools where not cleared of drinks etc. buffer in the main restaurant was poor food rarely warm. Couldn’t eat in the themed restaurants as fully booked when we were there. Room was ok but had to be asked to be moved , our room looked onto another resort with booming music most of the day , the terraces are so close together if people smoke there is no escape. None of the terraces in the junior suites have any sun during the day so not worth the extra money.

We had the best holiday here. Way above our expectations. We arrived about 30 mins before our check in and was shown around and given a drink We went all inclusive and was definitely the right decision. There’s a buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and snack bars for lunch either at the pools or at one of the al a cart restaurants (same menu). With all inclusive you have the option of having a try of each of the 3 al a carte restaurants on site, and the service and portions are huge. All inclusive also included all drinks. The buffet restaurant was very fancy, and had a wide range of choice, mostly Greek food which changed daily. Our room was beautiful and overlooked the sea. It was cleaned every day and the free mini bar was restocked daily. Right on the beach (which is a bit stoney), pools and sun beds were clean and tidy. Towels were provided. Hotel location was great - we took a bus to the old town one day and spent a few hours there and had lunch. Another day we hired a car from the Independent Car Hire place opposite the hotel complex (very good) and went to Lindos which had a beautiful golden sand beach, and then visited seven springs and a few archaeological sights on the way home. We only hired the car for one day - there was a car park at the hotel but was always quite busy. Really lovely hotel, would recommend

We've not stayed at many resorts but were sucked in by the "luxury with tranquillity" and "adults only" marketing. Unfortunately that's all it is - marketing hype. A few good things - the food at the restaurants (although impossible to get reservations) + the sommelier Anastasia were stand outs. Cocktails were also exceptional; most of the team at the pool were great, there was an incident or two when we had to wait for them to finish their conversations before we were served, and the breakfast team also great. The Bad: There's no feeling of being valued guests, no recommendations of local sights / restaurants at check in. At the main pool, life guards were more interested in chatting up groups of young women on a party holiday than following up on the large groups of Israeli youths throwing each other in to the pool. The beach is not private (just sun beds) + you're sharing it with rather loud resorts blaring music all day, and screaming children running down the beach. There's no tranquility; music blaring from the beach, the main pool, and the surrounding bars (bring headphones!). Obnoxious guests taking video calls w/o headphones in the bar and in the restaurants; large groups of young men playing their own music at the pool or watching videos without headphones. A trolley outside our room. Room towels of quite poor quality, and often there was no bath mat. Guests reserving sun loungers, despite it not being allowed. So. Many. Influencers. Not really adults only.

Unreal stay! The staff were brilliant, the food was unreal, and it was extremely peaceful. Little touches like taking your suitcases on arrival and making your room ready for bed when you came back from dinner, really made the stay the best. I’d highly recommend!!

Excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Clean and safe. Only issue was the ironing situation where they charge for use of it, so keep that in mind when visiting here. Apart from that 9/10, would’ve been 10/10 otherwise! Loved it.

The resort has a feel of an American hotel. It doesn’t have the warmth and vibe of a Mediterranean hotel. It’s great if you’re a business man or if you want to rest and have tranquility. The grounds are well run and very quiet. For a hotel of that caliber the service was unsatisfactory to me. It’s run by young employees being trained in very specific tasks and an assembly line of service , each having training for their job. So the person serving you drinks couldn’t answer questions about food. They are very kind and respectful but I didn’t find them knowledgeable enough or able to help. The food is delicious, the dining area is clean and the grounds are very picturesque.

Beautiful hotel, one of the best I've stayed in. It didnt feel overly busy. The food was excellent, only area for improvement was the evening bar. Mostly the serving staff weren't even aware that you had arrived and were too busy talking to the barmen. Mostly other serving areas were much more customer focused. Overall the hotel is great and we would return.

Location
Well placed for Rhodes Old Town (about a 10-minute drive) and roughly 20–30 minutes from the airport. The immediate area is quieter with limited walkable options; the beach is small and shared with neighboring hotels, and nearby resorts can bring some noise.

For our first time in Rhodes, this resort was perfect. It was in an amazing location only 20/30 mins away from the airport and then only 10 mins away for Old Town. The service was immaculate and all staff were so incredibly friendly and happy to help and chat. The resort it’s stunning which loads of different pool options of different depths, pool side food and drink service and a beach for guests only. The food options are amazing and the food itself is so fresh. I honestly couldn’t fault our stay there at all apart from wishing it was longer. Would 100% stay again

Excellent location. Spacious modern clean hotel. The food was excellent with a great choice of food each morning and evening. All the staff we encountered were very polite and helpful. Easy access too into Rhodes old town. Bus journey 23 minutes €4.50.

We had the best holiday here. Way above our expectations. We arrived about 30 mins before our check in and was shown around and given a drink We went all inclusive and was definitely the right decision. There’s a buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and snack bars for lunch either at the pools or at one of the al a cart restaurants (same menu). With all inclusive you have the option of having a try of each of the 3 al a carte restaurants on site, and the service and portions are huge. All inclusive also included all drinks. The buffet restaurant was very fancy, and had a wide range of choice, mostly Greek food which changed daily. Our room was beautiful and overlooked the sea. It was cleaned every day and the free mini bar was restocked daily. Right on the beach (which is a bit stoney), pools and sun beds were clean and tidy. Towels were provided. Hotel location was great - we took a bus to the old town one day and spent a few hours there and had lunch. Another day we hired a car from the Independent Car Hire place opposite the hotel complex (very good) and went to Lindos which had a beautiful golden sand beach, and then visited seven springs and a few archaeological sights on the way home. We only hired the car for one day - there was a car park at the hotel but was always quite busy. Really lovely hotel, would recommend

Stunning place. I had a superior room with a sea view which was stunning. The entire hotel is picturesque and so clean, paired with a sultry ambiance. The staff were so polite and friendly too. Location is good, Old town Rhodes is just a 10-12 min drive away. Airport is 20 mins away or so. Cannot fault this hotel, so much to do here at the resort and on the beach (plenty of water sports activities) would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Rhodes. Thank you so much to all the staff at Elissa Lifestyle Resort. 10/10

Such a lovely hotel, nothing within walking distance but the old town is 10 minutes away! Also if you order room service there’s a €5 charge per order which I didn’t know! Been there twice now and loved it, so many pool options and the staff are lovely and so is the food x

Exceeded our expectations, great pools shared by just a few rooms so not overcrowded. Super helpful staff. Good location - short taxi to old town and 45mins for a day or half day trip to Lindos.

Sehr schöne Adult-Only Anlage, ca 12 km südöstlich von Rhodos-Stadt. Gehobenes, stilvolles Ambiente. Schöne Zimmer, gut durchdacht. Wir hatten 2 Zimmer direkt am Pool. Besser geht es kaum. Leider alle Pools jahreszeitlich bedingt noch etwas kalt mit 20 Grad C. Vier sehr gute Restaurants in der Anlage. Alle etwas teuer aber Rhodos ist nicht weit und bietet alles: vom Nightlife über Wassersport und aller Länder Küche. Wir kommen wieder

The hotel was very well presented and clean. Many pools to choose from which was beneficial because although it is an adults only hotel, the main pool attracted a very young, party crowd which was quite off putting for our taste. However, the smaller pools were a lot quieter and more to our taste. Service in the room was very adhoc, sometimes it was at 8am - sometimes 4pm. Turn down service also seemed to be very random, you either get it or you don’t. We did also have a random knock at the door at 10:30pm to ask if we wanted more towels?! The restaurants on offer were great but note that they get booked up very quickly so I’d recommend booking those asap. Taxis were easy to get outside of the hotel and it was close enough to the Old Town and New Town. The hotel bar was also quite ‘clubby’ and had loud heavy music, again not really our style. Rooms were lovely and spacious. Spa facilities were also really great and had a lot to choose from. Overall I would recommend the hotel to a young couple / group of friends - but perhaps not for a couple that are looking to relax in a serene adults only environment.

A relaxing stay, room was clean and comfortable. It can be noisy but overall pretty quiet (we went there off-season). Restaurants are good if you don't want to bother going out of the resort. Spa is decent although quite small. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Location is handy with easy reach to Rhodes town but also to the south of the island.

Das Hotel ist eine große Anlage, die wunderschön gestaltet ist. Durch die vielen Pools gibt es immer eine freie Liege. Die Restaurants sind wunderbar, ebenso wie die Zimmer und das Personal. Der Strand ist schön, wenn auch klein. Das Wasser leider je nach Wetter nur mäßig sauber. Was man unbedingt wissen sollte, ist dass das Elissa Hotel zu einem Resort gehört und direkt daneben das zugehörige Helea Familienhotel liegt. Heißt: Kinder sind bis auf Ausnahmen zwar am Strand nicht direkt zu finden, aber eben direkt nebenan. Und da es im Meer natürlich keine Abgrenzung geben kann…. Auch die Animation von nebenan schallt einem entgegen. Die Animationen und das Programm im Elissa Hotel sind vielfältig, auch wenn trotz Ankündigung nicht alles statt gefunden hat. Das Wine-Tasting ist hervorzuheben!!! Leider schallt die Live Musik am Ende sehr stark in die Zimmer, zumindest alles rund um den Main-Pool. Um aus dem Hotel zu kommen, muss man einmal durch das ganze Resort. Hier hilft bei Bedarf das Personal mit Golf-Carts. In näherer Umgebung zum Hotel gibt es ein paar gute Restaurants, ohne Mietwagen, Taxi oder gebuchten Extras, von denen es viele gibt, hat man aber fussläufig nicht so viele Möglichkeiten. Mit dem Auto ist man aber in wenigen Minuten in Rhodos Stadt und das ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Sowohl am Tag als auch am Abend. Wer am Pool relaxen will und abends gute Drinks und live Musik an der Bar sucht, ist hier genau richtig.

Dining
Food quality is frequently praised across the buffet and à la carte venues, with standout cocktails. Common gripes are hard-to-secure à la carte bookings, package limitations/credits, occasionally average or repetitive buffet items, and high prices without all-inclusive.

The best hotel we have ever stayed in so far. Walking around the hotel the grounds are beautiful, the room was lovely - we paid for the cheapest room and ended up with a gorgeous sea view! Food was the best. We went all inclusive and the lunch and snacks were like restaurant food, not your typical lunch buffet/quick snacks you normally get at an all inclusive. The breakfast was also very nice. The buffet dinner was good, but there wasn’t much variety of meat. We did only eat there one night though, so perhaps the variety was less limited other days. The room service breakfast was amazing. The room service and the mini bar was all completely free - which isn’t usually the case for many all inclusives, there’s usually a few extra charges. The drinks were proper drinks, very well made, not too weak or strong like most all inclusives do. Private beach with comfy sun loungers, sun loungers around the pool were comfy. There was a lot of pools to choose from and you could always get a sun bed. Complimentary beach bag and towels. Not much walkable outside of the hotel but both Rhodes town and Lindos are very easy and quick to get to by car or bus. Perfect hotel if you’re into your wood / neutral decor, love good food and drinks and relaxing. Would 100% recommend and we will be back.

The hotel is a very good hotel and is definitely worthy of 5 stars. The food quality was excellent and one of the best iv experienced. Drinks also are very premium on the elevated bliss option. One thing that lets this property down, is that we struggled to book the premium restaurants, my advice to anyone going would be to contact the hotel prior to going to get some bookings. The other thing, is that, when in the premium restaurants, you can select only a starter a main and a dessert which technically isn’t all inclusive. This has all the potential to be ultra luxury but there are a couple of things that just let it down sadly. Still 5* but so close to being 5* luxury.

Definitely not an adults only hotel as I saw a few kids and even a crying new born. House keeping was not good at all. Bed was never properly made, shower gel ran out, a glass I got from the bar on the first night of my stay remained in the room until the end of my stay. Room never felt fresh when returning after house keeping had attending. House keeping sometimes did not come until after 3pm. We left, went in a boat trip and came back and the room still hadn’t been cleaned or tidied with fresh towels which as you can imagine is quite annoying. When checking out, no one offered to collect our bags. No irons in room and you had to pay per item, if you called in the morning and wanted to get your items back by evening you had to pay extra for express service. Around the pool no one comes to ask for your orders. You have to go to the bar yourself. We opted for half board. What they fail to tell you is that you can only eat at (Fanes) one restaurant but you have to pay for your own drinks (including juices and soft drinks) at dinner. if you want to eat at the reservation restaurants you get a credit of €20 to spend which doesn’t cover much. There doesn’t seem to be enough parking. We had to park on the side of the buildings almost every night. Food options are okay. But could be better. A lot of things missing from this hotel that doesn’t reflect 5 star. Which is unfortunate considering the hotel was not cheap.

We spent 7 nights at Elissa Resort on the Elevated Bliss package (all-inclusive) and loved every moment. It was our first time in Greece, and we’d return in a heartbeat—we only left the resort once to visit the Old Town! Room: Modern, spacious, and cozy—felt like a home away from home. The bed was large and comfy with a pillow menu. The minibar was restocked daily, and there were two TVs with YouTube and Chromecast options. The bathroom was roomy, though the open shower splashed a bit. Tip: bring small bags for disposing of toilet paper (not flushable in Greece), a travel iron, and pegs for the drying rack. Only downside: limited snacks (just oregano crisps and sesame bites). Dining: 4 restaurants: three à la carte (Fourni, Kavos, Masari) and one buffet (Fanes). Book à la carte early, though last-minute spots sometimes open. Food was exceptional—some of the best we’ve had. Breakfast at Fourni (reservation required) was great. Big thanks to Masari staff for the sweet birthday gesture! Activities & Nightlife: The beach is a 5-minute walk. We enjoyed the pools, bars, and activities like yoga, ceramics, and cooking classes—book early at the guest experience desk. The ceramic workshop with Theo was a highlight. Evenings were relaxed with live music and an outdoor cinema (free popcorn!). A few more entertainment options would be nice. Staff & Overall: Staff were warm, helpful, and made our stay extra special. Highly recommended for a relaxing, high-quality escape!

Was there for a week with the all inclusive package. Great deal and when I ate on property I ate very well. Also had a spa package and massage another day and both services were very good with great staff. And nice and full spa facilities (pool,sauna, human, cold room…) The only remarks I would have are: - For the whole week I was there I was told that all restaurants were “fully booked” for dinner and I was supposed to make reservations ahead of time. It would’ve been nice to know… luckily the staff at the dinner steak house were very kind and accommodating and made “space” and accepted me without a reservation so.. in case, just try asking directly at the restaurant instead of the front desk 😅 - It was a shame that the main pool bar stoped playing the lovely lounge music they played from 10am to 6pm just before sunset… maybe I was there in September and the schedule changes.. The weather was amazing by the pool. Nice breeze and warm sun! A part from these small details. Great stay. Great staff! Absolutely recommended and I look forward returning.

Die Atmosphäre und Sauberkeit des Resorts sind hervorragend, und das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Leider gab es einige Unannehmlichkeiten, die unseren Aufenthalt beeinträchtigt haben: Verfügbarkeit von Speisen: Im Restaurant Fourni waren sowohl der Tuna Tataki als auch das Filetsteak nicht verfügbar, und später gab es auch keinen Ribeye-Steak mehr. In einem Steakhouse sollte das nicht vorkommen. Frühstück: Es war nicht möglich, ein größeres Glas für Wasser zu bekommen, was bedeutete, dass man häufig nachfüllen musste. Street Food Hub: Das Essen war von schlechter Qualität und überteuert. Zimmerreinigung: Die Zimmer wurden nie gesaugt, was bei einem Strandhotel wichtig ist, um den Sand zu entfernen. Die Reinigung erfolgte oft spät am Nachmittag, was unpraktisch war, wenn man sich für das Abendessen fertig machen wollte. Das Vanity-Set fehlte wiederholt, und die gebrauchten Gläser wurden nicht ausgetauscht sondern einfach wieder umgedreht hingestellt. Duschen am Pool und Strand: Es gab nur wenige Duschen, was zu langen Wegzeiten führte. Lärm: Die Verbindungstüren in den Zimmern sorgten dafür, dass wir die Nachbarn deutlich hören konnten, obwohl sie nicht laut waren. Fitnesscenter: Das Fitnesscenter war für die Größe des Resorts zu klein. Kundenservice:Trotz mehrmaliger Meldung unserer Probleme schien es, als würden sie nicht effektiv weitergeleitet oder gelöst werden Erst nach einer längeren E-Mail wurde Kontakt mit uns aufgenommen und ein Entgegenkommen besprochen.

So beautiful, but have to wait hours for room service to delivery coffee items. Often having to ask multiple times. Noticed the floors were pretty dirty and towels/bed sheets typically have black/brown markings on them. The staff were very lovely, kind and helpful and the 15 pools meant they were very quiet which was great! The beach was gorgeous, however beds were reserved every day so could rarely find a space, despite the hotel mentioning reserved spaces will be removed. Buffet for breakfast was great! But lunch/dinner options were very expensive and the buffet €45 per person for mediocre food. Very beautiful hotel, but maybe not quite worth the expensive price you pay.
So beautiful, but have to wait hours for room service to delivery coffee items. Often having to ask multiple times. Noticed the floors were pretty dirty and towels/bed sheets typically have black/brown markings on them.

Stayed 8 nights
We spent 8 nights at Ella Ellisa for our honeymoon and had such a wonderful time. The food, drinks and restaurants were amazing, all the staff were so friendly and the location was stunning. We would absolutely recommend this hotel and would love to go back! We also loved getting to play on the padel court. My tip for those travelling here is once you have downloaded the app, book restaurants and experiences in advance to avoid missing out. We weren't aware we could book before hand so we didn't manage to go to all the restaurants or do all the experiences we would have liked to.
