Official Description

Ideally built in a superb location on 6 hectares of green, on a hill right next to Kallithea beach and a stone's throw from the medieval city of Rhodes and Faliraki. Rhodes International Airport Diagoras is only 18.9 km, around 25 minutes by car. At the remodelled hotel, guests can enjoy the most authentic version of the famed Rhodian hospitality. It starts with the first bite of the Greek breakfast feast served in the restaurant, relaxing on the comfortable sunbeds by the main pool of 1,270 m2 and shaded by palm trees, or at the magical private beach, the delicious Greek and Mediterranean dishes on the restaurant menu, the healing facial and body treatments using products from the Greek land at the spa and the imaginative cocktails at the spectacularly designed bar with a panoramic view of the sea. Each one of the elegant rooms is an oasis of authentic hospitality with comfortable beds, remodelled bathrooms with tubs, an updated sitting area, and revamped balconies with a panoramic view of the sea or the lush, green gardens with the palm trees.

Nice family stay

31 Oct 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food was very nice with a lot of choice. The morning staff in the breakfast outdoor area was greeting us with a smile every day. We enjoyed dinners too with a selection of Greek and continental style dinners. The only downside during dinner was the waiting time for drinks, and no free water for children. The room was cleaned every day, the pool was lovely, there is a children's area and an adult area. There is also a small playground, and you can walk down the hill from there to reach a pebble beach, small but can hire a longer there and there is a lovely fish restaurant there. The hotel was quiet, air con in the room was linked to the patio door - it would switch off when the door was open. There was also a built in mosquito net on the door, which was nice. Outside there are bus stops with buses (with air con) running often, and the tickets are around €2 per adult, toddlers travel for free. It made a massive difference, it was so easy to go places without having to order a taxi or hire a car. Rodos is around 15 min by bus, and the Falikari beach around 10 min by bus. Katerina and Nena in the hotel reception were really friendly and made us feel welcome. They were always ready to help and gave us some helpful advice on where is best to visit with a toddler. They made a real difference:)

Excellent, if not 4 star.

31 Oct 2024
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time at Kresten, and despite a couple of rough edges, am looking forward to a return next year. Getting the rough edges out of the way - our initial hotel room was shabby, and definitely NOT the 4 star accommodation we booked. This, was quickly dealt with though, and we were moved to a more comfortable (but still not 4 star) sea view room, that I would say was just below Premier Inn quality. Don't let this put you off. Problems do happen. As long as they are resolved efficiently, as these were, all is good. The facilities themselves were perfectly acceptable for a comfortable, relaxing holiday, or as a base for journeys further afield. Everything was clean (and regularly attended to). The pool was great, if a little cool in October. Weather temperatures were mid to high 20's whilst we were there, so the cool pool didn't put us off. It might take a couple of mins, but once you are acclimatised within the pool, all is good and comfortable. The pool bar and restaurant did exactly what you wanted them to do. Prices were on the high side, but what isn't these days. We went Half Board, and so attended breakfast and tea. It's fair to say that many of the offerings made regular appearances through the week, but main courses did change. At any rate, there was enough on offer. It is quite easy to vary your meals without too much difficulty. Peak times were busy, so I'd suggest eating early or later. At any rate, the staff during our stay were particularly helpful - shout out to MARGARITA & MARIYA who were always happy to help, worked hard and found us seating when required. EXCELLENT JOB. Also well worth a mention is the Cocktail Bar. The staff in there also worked hard to earn their pay, particularly the Table Servers, who were rushed off their feet, and yet very effective. PAY THEM MORE, THEY ARE WORTH IT!!!! But I digress. Entertainment at the bar was different every night, ranging from various quiz's to the Halloween celebration that occurred during our stay, always hosted by the same chap, who also hosted various other events during the day at the pool. So in summary, Kresten Palace is an great venue for a very enjoyable holiday, even if it isn't 4 star, as it claims. Our return visit is already booked.

Will not return.

30 Nov 2024
Stayed here for first two weeks November hotel clean,staff on reception very polite but would not say it is a 4* iv always stayed in 4* but never like this one. No tea / coffee in room and dining room was not a nice experience, you walk around trying to find a table that's empty of dirty plates then you have to search for cutlery and you will never find a spoon so you eat your desert with the fork used for your meal. Staff that cleaned rooms was very good.Entertainment was bingo or karaoke in the cocktail bar ( more sports / kiddies bar ) booked 11 days but only got 9 evening meals as had to pay for our meal on the evening we arrived the rep did question it but the hotel didn't want to know so will definitely not be going back.

I cannot recommend this hotel

31 Oct 2024
I would not recommend nor return to this hotel. I did not feel safe or respected here. The change machine in the arcade swallowed our money, we were blamed for using the machine in the first place. There was a misunderstanding with our drink order at the cocktail bar and the waiters demanour became aggressive and seemingly said some strong words, owing to this miscommunication. When we left we were strongly encouraged to give positive feedback, this felt really uncomfortable, given how relieved we felt to be leaving. I echo the same complaints as other customers, cocktail bar was lovely but overly priced. Food was poor and the service in the restaurant was chaotic. Bathrooms were worn. The pool bar and cafe were nice and the staff there were also wonderful. The entertainment crew did a great job, with the resources that they had. The concierge was great and did a good job. Through conversations with staff, the hotel is at risk of losing some real assets to their work force. Staff need supporting with customer service skills and identifying burnout within their teams. They seem to have lost sight of the fact that they are working with human beings who have saved up their hard earned money to feel relaxed and welcome. A really disappointing experience, however, we loved every moment we were away from the hotel, Rhodes is beautiful.

A week at the ‘palace’ 🤣

30 Nov 2024
Visited here during October half term and whilst it was the end of season the hotel was still busy. We had great first impressions as we arrived at the hotel as reception is lovely and the gentleman that checked us in was also very helpful. We paid extra to get a family room which we did not get. The bathrooms are outdated and covered in mould and there was always an awful smell that came out the drains in the bathroom. The dining hall is a huge issue, there is never any clean tables and when you manage to find one there is no cutlery so then you have to go and find some (no spoons though these don’t exist in a 4* hotel) and then you have to do laps around the dining room to find a mug and juice glass as again, they are very limited.the food is disgusting for the rating of the hotel, the choice is very limited, you can tell they keep it on a budget and every thing is cold. We did not enjoy one meal here. Also we noticed that certain guests were treated differently and got reserved tables, pots of tea and jugs of milk on their tables, table decorations, etc etc this was daily so clearly wasn’t a birthday celebration kind of thing. Everyone is a paying customer so everyone should be treated the same. The pool area is clean and the garden areas are beautiful, drinks at the hotel very expensive and you are unable to purchase any drinks from the hotel shop apart from water. The cocktail bar is majorly lacking in staff, one night it was fully packed and there was only one young girl taking orders and bringing drinks and then one man making them, clearly very stressed and they deserve a payrise. Same goes for the entertainment gentleman, always making so much effort he is a credit to the hotel. The beach area that leads from the back of the hotel doesn’t look great however the sea is warm and the locals that are fishing in that area are very friendly and it’s worth a trip down. There is nothing in the local area, we walked around 20 minutes down the road where there was a couple of bars and they was all shut. There’s two bars along the beach front at the back of the hotel but that’s about it. Bus stop right outside the hotel , very clean and reliable. Don’t use the kiosk outside the hotel it’s overly priced and nothing has price stickers on. Overall the hotel is ran by poor management, would not return. It was a very relaxing holiday but that’s purely because there’s nothing to do at the hotel or around the hotel. If you like to eat a decent meal on holiday then do not come to the Kresten ‘palace’.
