Lardos Bay Hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Rhodes

I recommend the hotel 3.9 out of 5. The photos on the hotel website do not reflect the standard of my room. The bathroom equipment, such as the shower, was very dirty, I was afraid to turn on the water. Room service good. A very nice swimming pool, however unfortunately people were reserving the sunbeds with towels since early morning and in fact there were no people there until 12. (In my opinion, it should have a place for hotel guests who want to use the pool). The hotel is located in a quiet area, it was not far from the hotel beach, but it is very neglected with worn-out sunbeds and we have to walk 300 m further and the sunbeds cost 10 euros per day. There were no guests on this hotel beach. There are no restaurants or bars near the hotel to diversify the hotel experience. There is a bus stop. From the stop we can get really anywhere, to Lindos (2 euros, 20 minutes), Rhodes, Parasonisi. From the beach to Lindos you can get a small ferry for 15 euros per person, round trip. We walked about 30 minutes to the center of Lardos with bars, restaurants and shops. It's good to have a flashlight :). There are also several shops and restaurants in the vicinity of neighboring hotels, but it is best to access the beach through the premises of these hotels. Meals at the hotel depending on where we are staying and our stay. I don't agree with the opinion that everyday there were the same breakfast options. There was simply everything for breakfast and you could actually eat something else.I agree with the opinion that the coffee served with meals is undrinkable, it is better to buy the coffee from an espresso machine for 3 euros. Dinner theoretically until 9:30 p.m. On Wednesday there was a themed evening with typical Greek food, suvlaki, gyros, pita, tzatziki. We had dinner only at 9 p.m. after returning from Lindos. At 9:10 p.m. lady restaurant manager took the last 7 pieces of pita onto her plate, just before me, I was standing in the line after her, I didn't get the dish I really wanted. So I recommend coming for dinner a little earlier than us. There is also a shop in the hotel, where you can find most of the necessary items, the prices are slightly higher than in stores. There are car rental companies 3-4 km away, we booked through the website (George Car Rental). I highly recommend it, the car is in excellent condition, new, great service and support at the best price. We had to leave the hotel at 6 p.m., the check-in time ended at 11 a.m. The hotel has lockers for suitcases and a shower for guests who have already checked out (a great option), but there are no hangers for towels or underwear...

Title: Avoid if you want to sleep

I recently had the opportunity to stay at this hotel, and I must say that my experience was far from pleasant. The title of my review should serve as a clear warning to those considering booking a room here.

The hotel itself and its facilities were decent, nothing particularly remarkable but acceptable for a short stay. However, the glaring issue that overshadowed everything else was the unbearable noise disturbance that plagued our first night.

On the very first night of our stay, the hotel decided to host live music. While the concept of live entertainment can be appealing, what followed was a complete nightmare. The music that began at 9 PM was so deafeningly loud that not only did the stuff in our room shake from the vibrations, but it also made it impossible for us to engage in any conversation or even watch a movie with professional-grade earphones on.

Despite our complaints and the obvious disturbance caused, the hotel staff seemed unprepared and utterly inept in handling the situation. There was no manager available to address our concerns, and the front desk was powerless to take any meaningful action. What was even more frustrating was that the music was supposed to end at 11 PM, but it continued blasting for another half hour.

We were assured that the manager would contact us the next morning to arrange for a quieter room. However, that promise was empty and remains unfulfilled. Growing tired of waiting for a resolution, I contacted the front desk once again and requested either a new room or a partial refund so that we could find accommodation elsewhere. To our dismay, not only did they decline to provide us with an alternative room, but they also flatly refused the request for a partial refund, even when contacted through hotels.com.

Consequently, we were forced to endure a second night at this hotel. Thankfully, the noise was somewhat less intrusive on the second night, although we still had to rely on earplugs to get any semblance of rest.

In conclusion, I strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to think twice, especially if you value a good night's sleep or if you have young children or individuals who are sensitive to loud noises. Our experience was marred by the hotel's inability to manage a simple noise disturbance situation and their subsequent refusal to take any corrective action or provide compensation. Save yourself the frustration and choose a hotel where you can actually enjoy your stay without the...

We stayed from the 11th-16th August and had a great time! The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful, particularly the receptionist who worked most mornings. We felt very safe. The pool is great and usually had sun loungers available, we stuck our towels out there at 9:30ish before heading to breakfast and there were options, there were some people reserving loungers and not using them all day but generally wasn't too bad. The shop is cheap and has good options. |We booked full board which is actually soft all inclusive (alcohol with meals but not at the bar, all food, snacks and soft drinks included). The food was great, a good selection for everyone even fussy eaters, we loved the pasta bar and pancakes. We arrived just before dinner finished and they rushed us in so we could eat before it closed, we left at 7pm after checking out at 11am and they allowed us to keep our all inclusive all day. |The beach is lovely and so close, only takes 2 minutes to walk there from the pool, sun loungers cost €10 for 2 all day, if you plan on spending a day there it's worth the money as the beach is quite pebbly. There's lots of water sports available and is generally not that busy.|They have great excursions, definitely book the calypso lazy day cruise, only €55 for 6 hours on a boat with 4 swim stops in the bluest sea you’ve ever seen and lunch and fruit included. There’s a €10 transfer but it was fully booked so we got the bus just in front of the hotel for €1.80 each way, the timetable can change daily though so be sure to check. |Only negatives were that the cleaners (who do an amazing job! Even mopping the floors every other day) propped the door open while cleaning so there were a lot of bugs in the room, the bathroom just had a frosted shower door which didn’t block any sound so there was very little privacy and the emergency light by the door was really bright, it lit up the whole room and couldn’t be turned off. Overall totally worth it for a...
