Rodos Princess Beach Hotel

I have worked in the travel industry for over 17 years and have been fortunate to stay at some of the best hotels in the world. I can honestly say our experience at Rodos Princess Beach Hotel was “up there” with the service received at some of the absolute best. The hotel itself is beautiful, facilities are well maintained, scenic position is just stunning. The main restaurant had an excellent selection of food on offer, we never failed to find lots of delicious foods to try. The staff in the restaurant are so family friendly and regularly stopped by to talk to our 8 year old and try to entertain our 1 year old, it was very sweet of them. Plus the utterly delightful Mary-Anna greeting us for every meal - just incredible ❤️. The beach restaurant special meal (chargeable extra) was well worth it, the food was delicious. The pools are lovely, never a struggle to get a sunbed, the only thing I’d say is (probably time of the year!) they were pretty freezing 🥶 so were a bit too cold for our 1 year old who kept wanting to jump out 🤣. The bars were great, service was fast and pleasant, alcoholic slushy cocktails were down at the beach bar! Not the pool bar. Our eldest son enjoyed sampling the mocktails! The patisserie was a lovely addition. Delicious lattes! Pancakes, waffles and ice cream available all day plus slushy drinks, our eldest was very happy! Venus Restaurant (by the pool) during the day was great as often if we were out during the day we’d miss the lunch buffet hours. Gyros, freshly made pizzas, fruits, salad and a selection of other snacks like hot dogs, chicken nuggets and delicious moussaka, plus drinks on tap. The beach area was lovely, had a great vibe and a large selection of sun loungers. Backed by the restaurant serving similar things to Venus as mentioned above, plus the beach bar. It had a really funky design and was a pleasure to sit and enjoy the view and music. Small shingle/sand beach, shoes recommended! We loved investigating the nearby rock pools, our eldest found some crabs and anemones and had a great time! Access to the beach is either via a steep set of steps or via a longer (still steep 😝) road. We had our 1 year old in his stroller so needed the sloped road each time. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend the resort for those with mobility issues, unless you were booking a room in the main buildings and didn’t want to visit the beach. We were initially placed in a Superior Sea View Family Room (2018) which was a beautiful room leading out to a terrace with lawn beyond. This was a very beautiful room and I couldn’t fault it. As we arrived late at night I hadn’t twigged that we were in the wrong room. So I visited reception later and spoke to the wonderful Popi. Popi swiftly corrected this for us and moved us to our booked room (thanks also to the lovely porter who drove me there in the golf cart to see it and decide!), the Executive Sea View Family Room (7212). The room was equally stunning and not dissimilar in layout, aside from having an incredible sea front facing room and having a bathtub instead of a walk-in shower which helped with our baby. I wouldn’t even mention this in general as it didn’t hinder our experience at all, but I believe it’s important to know, when something has gone slightly amiss - Popi’s efforts to correct this, going completely above and beyond and being such a pleasure to deal with, is worth knowing. She literally couldn’t have done more for us the rest of the week and kept checking in to make sure we were happy and took great care of us. Thank you Popi! Customer service excellence right there ❤️. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. We rarely visit the same destination twice, just for variety, however I would have no doubt in returning to this property and recommending it to family and friends. Thank you so much to all of the staff for our incredible stay, we loved every moment.

Disappointing hotel on the beautiful Rhodes island. The entrance is grand and stylish but otherwise found it a charm-less hotel with overworked but very kind and friendly staff. Very clean but the owners want to rinse every last euro by charging for drinks in a-la carte restaurant while charging €15 for BBQ when food no better than buffet. An insult. Also the evening entertainment some of the worst ever. I'll never stay in an H hotel again.

Spent 2 weeks here in mid October. We were expecting it to be fairly quiet but unfortunately it was very busy with lots of children. This was mainly due to Germans having their school holidays for most of the month. Overall we still had a good time but this highlighted to us that this is a very good hotel for families but maybe not so much for couples. The food in the main restaurant was fantastic, one of the best we have experienced. The quality and choices were excellent, over the 2 weeks we were never stuck to find new food to try. We loved that there were always Greek alternatives within the food. We did sit outside to eat as it was very busy and much too noisy inside for us. It was also rather difficult moving around the restaurant when it was very busy. The waiting staff were very good, especially Klodian, Georgios and Uxlie (not sure if spelt correctly) Also Maryana on the door was brilliant, such a lovely person. In the snackbar by the pool, the gyros at lunchtimes were a big hit with my husband. I loved the crepes available all day and a big shout out to the staff making them who were kept busy until midnight. We ate at the Greek restaurant twice and really enjoyed it there. We were surprised that drinks weren't included but just took our own drinks in from the bar. The pool is beautiful and very cold but this didn't stop me swimming most days. Our bedroom was in a lovely location with a seaview where we had stunning views of the sunrise over the sea. The one thing I would suggest is that more lighting is needed over the mirror by the dressing table. We enjoyed the 2 male duos who were in the Apollo Bar on the Sunday & Monday nights but we didn't really enjoy the other entertainment. We were also rather disappointed with the daytime activities as there was no shooting or archery available. The boccia was down on the beach so wasn't easy to get to. We did go down to the beach a couple of times and we enjoyed swimming in the sea but found the beach too busy for us.

My tween daughter and I treated ourselves to a back, neck and scalp massage on the last day of our holiday. It was my daughter's first trip to a spa and she absolutely loved it. Mary and Erika were wonderful and Mary was very gentle and kind with my daughter.

On arrival we were greeted with much warmth and the wonderful costas took us to our rooms and was so proud to show us the view. The room was stunning but woth a shared pool it was at the very bottom of a hilly path and so this means the hotel is not accessible friendly although if you request the golf buggy will pick you up. However I would say it’s probably not worth the price of the room upgrade as you are very remote and the sun doesn’t really shine on the pools. The food was very very good and a special Thankyou to Maryana on the restaurant who was so kind and caring when my mum had some bad news she really went out of her way to help us . Also peraklis (I’m sorry if I have that wrong) the chef cooking the omelette station. Best omelette ever! Even if he was surprised I had just cheese . The only downside to the food was that as the resort was winding down the selection began to shrink and the quality was by quite so good and some of the drinks would run out but the staff went above and beyond to help rectify this so no complaints . The pool is cold as you would expect but it’s so lovely and the pool bar is brilliant especially the blond lady and the young lad they were so happy and made a mean cocktail . Plenty of sunbeds I would only say that probably need more accessibility to the bar and more sloping areas to enter the pool for those with mobility issues . The spa was outstanding if not a little pricey but worth every penny . The Apollo bar was a little noisy but the music was good. There were not enough waiting staff though and the two I saw were rushed off their feet but they did a great job and qe always had a drink. The bar staff made some great cocktails Overall it’s stunning hotel I would recommend for families but I would say the accessibility issues need to be addressed Costas and maryana are a huge credit to the hotel and deserve a huge amount of recognition for their kindness and assistance
