This place is great for families, we were the first guests for the summer season and the staff was amazing and went above and beyond when we ran into issues due to them first opening. The staff was so friendly a they even have evening activities, it reminds me of an all inclusive hotel.

Wonderful staff, well-maintained environment. A lovely and safe children’s pool, as well as a clean main pool with plenty of sun loungers. Excellent value for money. Generous breakfast. Very comfortable beds! We are satisfied with our stay.

6/10 Good

On the plus side. Value for money. Location is excellent and pool amenities are top class and dinner there is affordable and of a high quality. Plenty of activities on site to keep you active e. G. Volleyballing, karaoke, quiz nights and plenty of activities to bond and make friends The amenities could be better. For example, no room service and no iron in the room and also no opportunity to bring an iron into the room. Average breakfast.

A lovely hotel with great buffet breakfast each day. Facilities were super with a great pool and access to a beach. Good location very central to Rhodes town and Faliraki.

Upon arrival, we were unexpectedly required to pay a €70 tourist tax. We had already paid for our stay before arrival and were told we could not check in unless we paid the additional €70. This was very unexpected and disappointing. There were also many insects in our room, which we understand can be common during the summer, but it still made our stay unpleasant. In addition, there was mold in the bathroom. On a positive note, the staff were very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast buffet offered a good selection of food. Overall, the hotel is nice, and we enjoyed our stay despite these issues.

Room, staff, service and grounds were lovely. The only thing missing was a nice beach and dining options nearby. Parking availability was also difficult if returning late in evening. We really enjoyed our stay at Kresten Palace and would return again.

4/10 Fair

So we paid £110 for the night for the 4 of us, breakfast included so I guess you get what you pay for. We were given an interconnecting room so had loads of space but it desperately needs renovating. Lots of brown grout, broken tiles, 10 year old complained of a very lumpy bed. I’m sure it looked great when it was newly done. The lobby bar was nicely decorated and the pool looked lovely (we didn’t use it) but the poolside toilets were disgusting and in worse condition that the room. Our biggest issue was the heat. The air con needs a service, it was on but took about 5 hours to cool the room so we didn’t get much sleep. I also woke up to an ant infestation in the bathroom and so I had to clean out all our cosmetic bags. Breakfast was ok, no fresh juice in the machines, apple flavoured stuff and the pancakes were undercooked but otherwise no complaints from our group! We were there for one night and it was enough, would not recommend!

kresten about

We stayed for five nights. The hotel is nice overall. We were upset that there were no disposable slippers. The same things always come out at breakfast, but they are delicious. Many comments were made. I can not say it was a bad hotel; it was nice.

The bus stops right outside the hotel were useful for getting to and from Rodos cheaply rather than relying on taxis. Also theres a taxi rank right over the road should you need it. Theres also supermarkets/ tavernas/ pharmacies in a walkable distance away should you need then. Staff were really helpful and welcoming, room was clean but could have done with a few more toiletries in the bathroom. The fridge in the room was a godsend for storing water!

Great location just not very clean

The location was very good, beautiful sea view from room. Great pool and pool area to relax. The room was spacious and comfortable however it was not clean. The room had not been cleaned properly with rubbish still in room from previous guests and cigarrete butts left on the patio in ash tray and stuck in the wall between bricks. We asked reception for room to be cleaned and butts removed from patio. The room was cleaned but the cigarette ends remained for the duration of our stay.

2/10 Poor

The staff in the hotel was nice, however we had so many issues at the property. Air conditioner in our room didn’t seemed to work, we had very poor nights as it was hot in our room. When we showered, the whole restroom flooded. We called three times and they did send a maintenance person but the issue was never fixed. We finished our showers stepping into a pool of water each time. ( and bring your own shampoo, they dont provide shampoo or conditioner, buy they have a mini market to buy). Overall nice people and customer service from employees. Property unfortunately needs some work.

Beautiful property. Lovely swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff. Quick check-in and check-out. Delicious breakfast and dinner buffet. Lunch by the pool was delicious too. Good cocktails at reception bar and pool bar. Bus stop out front of hotel made it easy to go to Rhodes Town inexpensively and quickly. I would gladly stay here again.

The dining options could have been better and more varied. The general sea view rooms were very average. We had to upgrade to deluxe rooms with pool access which were much better.

Had an alright room but had an ant problem over our week, but it wasnt too bad and im sure its not the same everywhere, Really nice views, Good breakfast, Super nice main building, nice bar etc. Great transportation with taxi and bus stop within 50M, the beach is the only thing we were dissapointed with. 4/5 would come back

Beautiful resort but lacking some standards.

The resort it beautiful, Unfortunately the breakfast is bad both in terms of choice and quality. Lunch and dinner is better, this morning before we left there was a lady filling 7 used water bottles from the water machine in the buffet and touching the tips of the machine with her bottles staff saw her doing this and nothing was said. So unhygienic.

Such a shame that hotel lets itself down with reception and dining staff who are cold and unhelpful, rude too. Free WiFi in the hotel but charged per device if you want it in your room. You have to pay for the safe too. Breakfast was nice. Great entertainment crew and enjoyed the pool vibe. Few nice restaurants nearby on foot otherwise getting a taxi or buses into town is tricky - buses are full and taxis don’t stop so be prepared to wait a while. Won’t be visiting again and wouldn’t recommend this hotel sadly.

Rhodes stay

We have chosen probably the best room on offer, swim-up with access to a private swimming pool and room was all right and comfortable, however swimming pool was freezing, they don’t heat up the water. Breakfast was included, but it was very mean, food of average quality, awful coffee and oversweeted juices from a concentrate. Instead of eggs/ommelette station they had a “mountains” of prepared omelette which is more like 3 stars hotel and they advert them as 4 stars. Dinner - buffet style with average and oily food, less tasteful than you would expect at 4 stars hotel. At the checkout I was offered to pay part of someone l’s else bill which was charged to the room 3 days before I checked in, disgraceful and unforgivable, I did not receive even sorry.

Not my cup of tea

We stayed at this hotel in April. I was not expecting the room to be so COLD. There were no blankets in the room. The first night, I was so tired from the journey, I didn't want to go all the way to the front desk to request a blanket and I couldn't figure out how to call the front desk from the phone in the room. I slept with my jacket on and a towel over me, shivering the whole time. The next day I asked at the front desk for a blanket and they said they would leave one in the room. Well, they left a tiny, sad-looking blanket that looked like it was maybe 40 years old and barely covered one person, let alone two. Internet is available for free in the lobby but you have to pay if you want to use it in your room. I like that there is a tiny gym area. The pools were beautiful, but it was too cold to really enjoy them. Beautiful little beach area you can walk down to from the hotel. My daughter liked the kids' club. Overall though, not my preferred type of hotel at all, and I wasn't super impressed with the service (mostly the blanket issue, and I overheard a few other people also saying that the rooms were cold and asking staff for blankets). The restaurant was overpriced and there did not seem to be any consistent pricing system for kids. One night I was charged a full adult price for my kindergartener and another night she ate for free. Make it make sense.
