Electra Palace Rhodes - Premium All Inclusive

Electra Palace Rhodes is a cozy hotel located right by a pebble-stone beach. The territory is compact but very well-organized, offering everything you need for a great holiday — several bars and restaurants, an outdoor jacuzzi, a fitness center, an indoor pool, a spa, and a huge multi-level outdoor pool with different lounging options (beds, daybeds, cushions, and sun loungers placed right in the water). The dining options are excellent, with a main restaurant, a Greek restaurant, and an Italian one. There are also several bars and a small shop on-site — the infrastructure is really well thought out. There is animation and a kids’ club for families. The only downside for me was the old-style bathroom in the room. Overall, it's a wonderful hotel for a stylish and relaxing stay in Rhodes!

The hotel was lovely but didn’t feel like you were in Greece. It could have been anywhere in the world. The food was excellent, the quality and selection was marvellous every single day. The themed a la carte restaurant were a mixed bag with Greek and the bakery being amazing! Very good quality, freshly prepared. Italian restaurant was very basic and rushed and nothing about it felt Italian. The wine bar looked so beautiful from outside! We were expecting to try different type of local wines paired with food. What we received were the white and a rose and we had to ask to try the red. Whilst we were there, there were 4 couples in total and we saw one couple to get up and help themselves to the wine. The cocktails were a bit disappointing. They didn’t really taste like the name declared. Local wine and beer were fine. The best wine was in Greek restaurant. But try to book it in advance as it’s very popular and we managed to get a reservation only on our last night of a week stay. There are 4 bars in this all inclusive hotel. The busiest one was at the pool area. Overall pool was very well set up! There were plenty of sun loungers and beds so you didn’t have to run and get a bed early. I also enjoyed spa downstairs. I had 3 treatments- two massages and a facial. The beauty therapist Hanna was great! I also did yoga class but Kristina , the teacher was not great. With yoga practice it’s important that you do it to your own abilities and not encourage to push yourself too much. My last point is a great sustainability of this resort ! They reduce single use plastic which is great! All guests are given very good quality water bottles that you could refill anywhere on the resort! The place was spotlessly cleaned. Everything was immaculate and brand new! The sea was lovely too . I even saw turtle while swimming one morning in the sea! but bring your water shoes as it

Our stay in Electra Palace was great…there are many pros but also some improvements that need to be made. Overall a pleasant stay with friendly staff all over the hotel from hotel receptionists to the cleaners. The cleaners do a great job in keeping the hotel clean and tidy and this cannot be faulted at all. Facilities are great and also the toiletries provided are of good quality. Many reviews state the planes that fly over being a problem, we didn’t find this a problem and quite enjoyed watching them fly over. Beds were comfortable and room was of a decent size. Great bathrooms with good water pressure and really nice cosmetic bathing products provided. Positives: - Food in the buffet and Italian passage restaurant was of really good quality. You can dine at the Italian once during your stay for dinner and for lunch as many times as you please. The gelato parlour was really nice with lots of choice with scooped ice cream and also whippy ice cream with sauces, sprinkles etc. The Spritzville bakery was really nice with daily fresh pastries with really nice feta and spinach pies. Staff were friendly in all restaurants. - Cleanliness of the hotel was 10/10, the whole hotel was clean and couldn’t fault the cleaning team once. They came daily and cleaned rooms! - All staff we encountered were very friendly and welcoming and a special shoutout to the young baggage porter/receptionist (George) who always had a smile on his face and said hello… very friendly, please give him my thanks. - Hotel has a great layout and also lots of sunbeds, pool beds, cabanas, sofa style seating and many different seating areas and there was definitely no shortage of beds. People do get to the pool beds and cabanas first but there are lots of other seating options for sun bathing. - Hotel arranges transport through a company (called Prestige Travel) free of charge if you contact them directly, which was a bonus. Areas of improvements: - Food in the buffet is a limited choice but doesn’t seem to change, and for what is offered we saw it as quite limited and repetitive. Seemed to be the same things every night with some variation here and there. There was no choice for children or picky eaters which may make it difficult for families to visit here… we did get bored of the selection and ate out a few nights out of 7. - The cocktail selection is big but we couldn’t bring ourselves to drink many of them due to how sweet they were. All of the cocktails were made with pre mixes and it was busy but not too busy that a classic mojito cannot be made with fresh limes. Also I wish there was more choice of daiquiris that are made using actual blended fruit rather than rum poured into a slushy. - There are no named spirits which for a premium all inclusive I would have presumed there would be. - The rooms are not soundproofed in any way, if located near the pool you will hear the entertainment until it ends at 11pm, a main concern would be that you can hear into every room from th
