Lardos Bay Hotel

I was searching for a good hotel for my 5th visit in Rhodes island but this time it was my first vacation alone so I searched for a small hotel far from the overcrowded Rhodes city with good reviews and it took awhile until I came across with Lardos Bay Hotel. By the reviews it seems that the hotel has one downfall which is the Wi-Fi connection reliability especially in the rooms area. So I decided to book this hotel and of course to purchase a SIM card with a huge internet package because I needed to work on my laptop during the stay and I couldn’t take the risk after reading the bad reviews about the Wi-Fi. I arrived at the Hotel around 14:00 and i was lucky that the room was surprisingly ready earlier than 15:00! I had to try the Wi-Fi connection for myself and yes it is terrible, it has extremely low internet speed like in the late 90s and it stops working every few minutes or even seconds and I was getting the “No internet connection” message constantly. I truly believe if they had a good and reliable Wi-Fi connection they could have easily go above 9.5 rank in booking.com. Other then the Wi-Fi issues, all the hotel staff from the room attendants to the front desk receptionists are very professional and friendly they always smile and wants you to feel comfortable especially the cute Italian girl at the hotel’s “market” (shop) who thought I’m Italian too :) It looks like the hotel got renovated recently and the room was modern, well maintained and clean to perfection. The public areas looks clean and well maintained as well. I booked full board = breakfast, lunch and dinner that i was told at the check-in it also includes soft drinks and snacks at the pool bar (soft all inclusive) - the food is alright and suitable for a 3 stars hotel. The hotel is 200 meters / 4 minutes walking to the beach, at the beach you can rent 2 Sun beds for 10€ (no option to rent 1 bed).

Spacious room, lovely bathroom with excellent shower. Swim up shared pool very nice . Close to beach Free parking Friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend the hotel when sewage problems are sorted out.

I really enjoyed the variety of things to do in the evenings! And I loved my room! I unknowingly booked the suite with the private pool access.. brilliant! The only downside to it was the rooms are slightly underground so there’s not much sunshine on the terrace, but I loved having the long pool mostly to myself and being able to go in straight from my room! The food selection was great and I loved that they do Greek food every Wednesday. The staff were all so nice and welcoming. Thank you so much for a pleasant stay!

Breakfast was various and nice. Hotel’s aura was so nice. We stayed 4 nights and it was cool. It’s possible to play tennis. There is open air fitness area. Pool was cleaning every night and there ara cool sunbeds. One of our nights we experienced a live music at the bar. That was a market inside the hotel so you can buy anything you need. Staff were so kind, cheerful and very welcoming.

It was a fantastic week, I stayed for, I got the full board for food, and soft drinks/ snacks at the beach bar, they even hosted a Greek food day, a live band playing every three days in a row, and overall it was excellent and the room was very clean and staff members were very friendly especially Francesca the receptionist, who would recommend us places to go or book trips for us and is very efficient and friendly and has great communication, thank you very much Lardos Bay Hotel.
