Apollo Beach

We stay at Apollo Beach every time we're on Rhodes. It has everything we need. Even boat trips start right from its beach. There is a large parking lot, bus stop, and many restaurants around. I highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! The hotel is amazing! Food was delicious Staff were great Facilities brilliant! Also a huge thank you to the lovely entertaining lady behind the bar on the evening! She was ace! (Can’t state her name, but sounded like Alga) sorry ;-( She will remember me as she passed on an extra pot of complimentary nuts ;-) Kids and family loved it (we were a group of 15) Overall, brilliant!

I'm staying in this hotel as I write this review and i genuinely can't believe its the same hotel the other reviews are talking about. Simply the worst hotel I've ever stayed in! We had a late arrival due to our flight times, no food or drink was available for us but they'd left some sandwiches in the fridge in the room, I was shocked when I opened the fridge, some cheese and ham thrown in a roll that certainly didn't fit with a 4* hotel and the price we'd payed. So, 01:30 am after a long trip we try to sleep. The air con and fridge are so load it's ridiculous, so I turned them off and then all you can hear is the Cicadas outside in the trees, deafening and constant 24 hours a day. Why, why, why isn't it published that at this time of the year in Greece you won't have 1 minute of peace in your entire holiday. Avoid Greece in the summer if you want to relax, it's impossible. The food is your usual all inclusive mass produced crap, I've spent all of today in my room after having no sleep and spending the whole night on and off the toilet with diarrhea. The pools and the gym are good and it's on the beach front with beautiful warm clear sea, some positives. But it's general location is poor, we should have done more research on this as there's nothing nearby, no town with restaurants, cafés or shops, just run down streets full of tat. Can't wait to get home, wish I'd never come here.

Pool and scenery: As we travelled out of season it was a lot quieter. If you plan on coming out of season be aware many bars and restaurants aren’t open. Plenty of available sun beds and seating areas. Lovely walk down to the beach , and although it was a bit chilly to go in the pool this was well maintained. Our view from the balcony was lovely as we had a sea view! Room / Cleaning: The cleaners were lovely and friendly. The only thing I would change was that the floor would be swept and mopped in our room, as sand collected on the floor. 2 sachets of coffee, sugar , tea and milk were provided each day. It would be nice if there was more ( maybe 4 of each ). Our room was nice and had plenty of storage and a fridge. However we paid for a deluxe double room with a front sea view, and unfortunately there were 2 single beds pushed together. Having paid a premium for this room we would have appreciated a double bed. There was a strange sound and smell coming from the ventilation grate in the bathroom, and it turns out there was a pigeon. I told reception, and I was told this would be sorted. A man came later and was in for 10 minutes and he left some chemicals , however the bird is still here and alive. It was not removed. The air conditioning was cold for 2 nights and then began to blow hot air. On the last day we booked another room just to have time before our flight. We found that an average room was similar to the fancy room (apart from the view) so next time we would not pay extra. Food/ dining: We were half board and when we arrived ( in time for dinner ) we were hoping that water or soft drinks such as apple juice were free with our meal, however with dinner there were no free drinks. This did surprise me, as even water would be appreciated. We brought our own water down to avoid paying. Keep in mind if you are half board no free drinks are provided with dinner. There is more of a range for carnivores however there were still options for vegetarians. The food was very well presented and tasty. I was very impressed with the standard of food. When more guests came it was very crowded but some people don’t mind. I can get quite claustrophobic but with buffets it’s to be expected for there to be queues. It would be helpful if breakfast could be extended until 11 or half 10 as there is a time difference for many visitors who have not yes adjusted to the time zone and having extra time in the morning would be nice instead of rushing or waking up earthly Other comments: The lady at reception was very nice and helpful. The taxi service is quick when booked with reception.

The food was good, the place is gorgeous. David has made the activities fun and enjoyable, the beach volleyball and the pool fitness was great. He was friendly and approachable. David made our trip more memorable. It was pretty difficult to get a drink in the bar, and it would be great to have a water dispenser so we don’t have to wait 10 minutes for a glass of water.
