Kresten Royal Euphoria Resort

I stayed here for a week in October with my partner as a last little sunny getaway before our baby is born. Fantastic hotel, brilliant staff, lovely location and gorgeous weather. Just a few niggles first - Mainly the food signage in the restaurant. May be an issue if you have allergies or fussy like us. We generally eat most things, except my partner doesn't eat pork or cheese and myself fish. There was signs at the entrance stating what each pictured image meant in regards to allergens, however these images then were not anywhere else or by the food. The foods weren't labelled half the time and when they were, not always accurate. And when you ask the staff what things are they are a little dismissive. Also we were in a room with a lift opposite (pointless lift as the floor above was also on a ground floor like ours, due to the hill) and due to the winds at night I was woken up in the night multiple times due to the banging of the doors. We did call reception at midnight in hoping they could help and they just put a napkin in the door, which did the trick, so we just kept replacing this throughout the week. Also, you need €10 cash deposit per pool towel you would like! We don't tend to carry cash this day in age and think this is a very out-dated concept... especially when there's no ATM nearby (there was one in sister hotel 5 minutes up the big hill, but this was out-of-order most of the week). Oh, and 2 of the A La Carte restaurants are set menus, so a little tricky if you don't like cheese or fish. Shame there's not just even 2 items per course to chose from (could've done through normal and veg menu, but they didn't like doing that at all)! Otherwise... No more niggles! Just thought I'd mention these, especially the food one as this is quite a big deal and needs to be looked at before someone has an allergic reaction. OTHERWISE... and the reason I put 5*s... Is because the pool was relaxing with a strict no reserving sun-beds rule people abided to, and the poolside snack bar was wonderful! Fresh Greek Gyros' every day and other bits.. and the freshly made Crepes here at 4pm everyday!! Constantina at the bar by the pool was lovely and did not stop working and going above and beyond for everyone... including making my partner millions of Strawberry Mojitos! The main bar of the evening was a pleasure thanks to the best bar man (that I am SO ashamed I cannot remember his name!!!) He made sure to come up with new and lovely Mocktails for me every evening going above and beyond with us every night and was actually quite emotional saying goodbye! There was 3 pool tables (and other games) here and we loved these! Shame you had to pay for them, but we loved having a few games every evening! The bus stop to go into Rhodes Old Town was just a 5 minute walk up the hill on the main road. Very big comfortable buses, however not often enough for the demand. Most buses didn't stop due to being too full and they were only every half hour, meaning

What can I say ? Best by far of any all inclusive I have been going to in the last 10 years. Food tasty, fresh, and plenty of variety. Place actually beautiful, the sea view with the boat and ships in the distance, along with the beautiful pools and buildings was indeed breathtaking. Staff fantastic nothing was too much trouble for them. Big shout out to Manos, Pedro, and George at the main bar and pool. They genuinely engaged with the customers and made everyone feel special. The lady’s working in the sea pool area also fantastic. The snack bar staff ran the area brilliantly, food stocked all the time, tables cleaned quickly. The snack bar food was better than most main restaurants I have eaten in on previous all inclusive. There is free strong WiFi, free safe, and fridge stocked everyday with water. Night time entertainment, was a cut above the rest. The violin lady and female singer were absolutely fantastic. They had something for everyone on everyday.
