Atlantica Holiday Village Rhodes

The bathroom for the room I was given the first night wasn’t draining water properly. However my room was changed that night. The porter was really kind and lovely, apostolius (not sure I got the spelling correctly). The next day, I noticed the floor of the room wasn’t entirely clean and so I used the floor towel to wipe around. By the time we got back from breakfast we in morning, I noticed the cleaner paid attention and actually mopped the entire floor. Special thanks to the cleaner ( Augustine) who was observant and paid attention to that. The food wasn’t great for a 5 star with Limited options. I have been to 4 stars with better food options, taste and quality. The Greek night was okay compare with others. I think they can do better with the food options and taste. The people who deserve special kudos are the entertainment guys ( pedro and Agatha) and some of the kids club staff. They are super amazing especially Lara, Jess, Lia and the assistant football coach ( Joao). The entertainment is great for young kids. Older kids, 10 and above might not enjoy it that much. Most of the pools are super cold except one which is quite small. I think the main plus is the service you get from the staff itself. Hotel quality isn’t bad but there are better ones.

Such a lovely hotel all round.

We had a family holiday here this summer. Our first family holiday in school holiday time and I was really worried at how busy the hotel would feel, however the hotel even when fully booked never felt busy or crowded. We stayed in the relax area which suited us perfectly, our room over looked the pool and mountains beautiful views. We never had any problems getting sunbeds by the pool. As we have a 5 year old we ate early most nights and never had a queue of more than 2 groups/families in front of us to get into the buffet. The food was the best we’ve ever had. Constantly topped up or cooked fresh at the show stations. Desserts were amazing. We dined in the Greek and American also and the food there was also really good. The entertainment was fun and found this year we stayed out later to watch than we have in the past. Our little one loved the park area too. The waterpark is fun, good size slides for all ages. We would definitely come back again.

The facilities, especially the pools, we're excellent. Food choice and quality in the 'Olive' was brilliant for a buffet. Wouldn't bother with Stars and Stripes (staff lovely but food not as good as the Olive). La Trattoria on the other hand served fantastic food and made a very special last night meal. Our flight was 12 hours after checkout, so they very kindly allowed us a courtesy room for a shower and freshen up. However the 30mins alloted time was only enough for a party of three, so larger parties might want to book two or for longer is possible. Overall, lovely place, nicely laid out and would come again, only perhaps a cooler time of year.

Great hotel for a family vacation. Kids loved it.
