Evita Bay

NOT A FOUR STAR! Rooms are clean but basic, bed comfy. The rooms require a wardrobe and there is plenty of space to add one. I hated my clothes being on show for the entire two weeks and no where to store our family’s things. Ants were in bathroom coming up from the drains. The Manager was great I found him friendly and approachable. Like he says if he doesn’t know about the problem then he can’t solve it. I do think it’s bad that this chain of hotels over book people and then turn up and they move people saying it’s an upgrade. we spoke to so many people that this happened too and it’s not on. Food wasn’t the best especially for a four star hotel chips were been re heated, food cold and the snack bar was the worst I have ever been too. You should be able to order fresh food fries ,toasties, gyros, ice creams the hotel was just serving food that was left over from lunch, not good! (We eat out a lot). This hotel is well suited for adults only. There was no entertainment like love holidays sold us this is not the hotels fault. The grounds around the hotel really need sorting out nothing is finished off. Drinks in plastic cups when it’s a four star hotel is not good and drinks need improving the wine is disgusting. The drink quality poor again it’s supposed to be a four star hotel and I’m not sure how it’s got it’s four stars. The Pool needs heating in October it was freezing. The floors around the pool should be jet washed every day this is the only hotel I have stayed at and it was done once for the entire two week stay. The Hotel reception area is eye opening it’s more of a 2 star hotel. The only saving grace is the hotels location on the beach front. The hotel needs a lot of improvements. The hotel It’s close falaraki and we hired a car to see the island it’s beautiful in lindos and Rhodes old town. We also caught the bus to Rhodes old town just outside the hotel.

First of all, we didn't actually book this hotel. We booked Evita Resort but when we arrived they had overbooked (a commin occurrence it seems) so we were transferred here and weren't sure what to expect, especially when we saw some of the previous reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised.(It might have been different if we had young children with us.) What we loved about it: 1. The stunning location, right on the beach and just a short walk into the town centre, with buses to Rhodes old town running every 20 mins from the front of the hotel. 2. The lovely staff - professional, friendly and helpful. 3. There are 4 pools, so there was never an instance where we couldn't find a sunbed, some pools were practically empty and the length of 2 of the pools meant I could swim up and down on my own for my daily exercise. 4. The spacious room. We had booked double/twin but were allocated a family room so we had a double and a twin. The room was clean and serviced daily. Towels were replaced every couple of days. 5. Food. This a a personal choice but I loved the fresh salads every day and choice of chicken, fish, pork, beef and vegetables. They also had rice, pasta and chips at every meal. Plus a specials counter which ranged from pizza, kebabs, roast beef and roast pork. It's not fine dining but good hearty fayre. 6. The weather! 27 degrees and sunshine all day. In October. And beautiful sunsets. 7. The price! We got a last minute deal via loveholidays and it was excellent value for money. Looking at some of the previous poor reviews it felt like people wanted to pay Premier Inn prices and stay at The Ritz, in which case, of course they would be disappointed. Areas for improvement: 1. Poor WiFi coverage. None in the rooms or restaurant but you could get onto the network by the pool. 2. No welcome pack in the room. It would have been good to know restaurant opening times, location of toilets (it took us a couple of days to work this out) number of reception in case of an emergency and local amenities. 3. The shower was fixed in one position. I'm quite short so had to hold the shower as it was too high for me. 4. A previous comment mentioned there were no pictures on the walls. Again, this is a very personal choice. Clean, white and minimalist was fine for me but it could be a marketing opportunity to take a few photos, e.g. Rhodes old town, Anthony Quinn Bay etc. and have a couple of those on the walls with the location noted. So that people might want to book the excursions. The positives far outweigh any minor tweaks and if the hotel were to address every little comment the price would need to go up. That's the trade off. Myself and my parter were very happy with our stay.

Had a lovely week in evita bay hotel. I was so scared to go because of the scare mongers writing such bad review, please don’t listen to them. Clean rooms daily cleaning lovely staff food was lovely even for my fussy eaters. The only negative I have was there was only one larger to have no cider. And that it was a sheet and no quilt but it like it in a few hotels abroad . I would definitely go back lovely clean pools and the beach just at the front door basically. Thanks you to all the staff.
