Lindian Village All Inclusive Resort Rhodes, Curio Collection by Hilton

Good infrastructure but terrible service. This is more like 4-star hotel with 3-star service. The beach is well equipped. Breakfast is limited compared to real 5-star Hilton but you can live with that. Rooms are old but not too old. Infrastructure as it should be in 4-star hotel. But all about service is more like 3-star. Our room wasn't made up for two days even after I specifically called and reminded about it. They said 'we have too many guests now'. That I guess mean that we do not have time for you? When you ask to bring you another coffee on the breakfast - they just ignore. When you remind, they say that they have too many guests. I'm not arrogant and I can pour my own coffee. But there is no such option, you need to call a waiter. Which simply doesn't carry it. The same with vine on diner. You can wait half an hour to get your glass of vine. Room service - wait enternity. When you remind you get the same answer. The furniture on the balcony of the room stained a lot of our clothes when we sat on it. That's why we just didn't sit on the chairs on the balcony. When we asked to change the chairs we were ignored. If you don't care about service and just looking for a good beach - it is a good place to go.

Having read some of the recent reviews on here I was very concerned that we were going to be disappointed but can honestly say we had a wonderful stay. Our room was amazing. No issues with ants, smell or anything like others have complained about. The pool area is incredibly relaxing with different types of loungers and never any problem finding somewhere to sit at any time of the day. Beach also had plenty of Sun loungers and we never had to reserve early to get one. The beach is pebbly however take a brief stroll over the hill on the left and you will come to a sandy beach with a bay to swim in. Not the prettiest of beaches as like a lot of Rhodes is was devastated by the fires but nice to have sand instead of pebbles. The hotel is remote so hiring a car if you don’t want to be stuck there would be useful and the car park is free. However there are boat trips you can take from the beach to Lindos or Rhodes Town. Don’t expect to be able to take long walks as there isn’t anywhere to go so this would be a negative if that’s your thing. But for a relaxing, stress-free chilled break the hotel is ideal. Food was average - not the best we’ve had but not awful. We were half board so only had breakfast and dinner. I’m not a fan of buffet type dining generally and found choice slightly repetitive and food not hot unless you were lucky to be there when they replaced the dishes. The lady behind the counter making fresh omelettes at breakfast was wonderful. Best omelettes I’ve ever had at a hotel, cooked with a smile. Tip you get a free bottle of water on the table for breakfast so take this with you if you don’t use it! We only ate in one of the other restaurants and had a great meal (Greek restaurant). We were disappointed with the Japanese menu choices (very strange which dishes they include in your package versus what you have to pay for) so didn’t eat there and unfortunately never got to try the Italian. Another tip is to go to the supermarket outside the hotel (if not on all inclusive) to buy water and beers etc as cheaper and can keep in your fridge. I do agree with others that the entertainment is a bit strange but we did enjoy the live band by the pool (once a week) and the DJ playing super cool tracks at night by the bar. Sadly the way tables are set out around this area means there is no atmosphere and people just sit there. We braved it and got up to dance but felt very awkward. It’s a shame as we love to dance. The resort is dark at night however it adds to the ambience and I felt completely safe at all times walking around. We did find the gentleman on reception very unhelpful on our last morning when checking out. Despite our paperwork saying check out was at midday, he told us it was 11am and that we should not trust what we are sold by the holiday company. I pushed him to accept a later check out and he finally conceded to midday but it was agreed reluctantly. I also asked if there was somewhere we could shower later as
