Electra Palace Rhodes

Sorry a long review, but before we came to Electra palace i was always looking for honest reviews so i wanted to do my own for anyone who's considering this hotel :) Hotel & Facilities * The hotel was exceptionally clean and smelled lovely throughout. * Beautiful, modern resort with well-maintained facilities. * The refillable water bottles and water stations were a thoughtful and environmentally friendly touch. * Aircraft flying overhead were not an issue at all, despite concerns raised in some other reviews. * Evening entertainment was enjoyable and provided something for everyone. * The kids' club and playground were excellent and perfect for young children. * The ice cream station and deli/Aperol bar were a great addition and offered a welcome alternative to the buffet at lunchtime. * While the hotel is excellent overall, I would agree with other reviews that it feels more like a strong 4-star resort than a true 5-star experience. Rooms * Beautiful, clean and modern rooms. * Loved that the mini fridge was stocked and included on arrival. * The welcome snacks were a lovely touch. * Appreciated the option to have twin beds converted into a king-size bed. * Beds were very comfortable. * No mirror above the chair/vanity area, which would have been useful. Staff & Service * Front-of-house staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. * Pool waiters provided excellent service. Food & Restaurants * The food was lovely, with plenty of choice at every meal and something to suit everyone. * If you plan to dine in the à la carte restaurants, make sure to book a couple of weeks before your holiday. We missed out on the Italian restaurant as it was fully booked for the entire week. * The Greek restaurant was excellent. I particularly loved the starters, as they gave us the opportunity to try dishes that I probably wouldn't have chosen myself. Bars & Drinks * The QR code system for ordering drinks directly to your sunbed during the day was fantastic and very convenient. * Pool bar service in the evenings could be improved. * At times guests were only able to order two drinks at once. * If you remembered an additional drink after ordering, you often had to rejoin the queue. * Drinks felt watered down. I assume this may be to discourage excessive drinking early in the day, but given the cost of the holiday, I would expect better-quality drinks and cocktails. * More bar staff are needed in the evenings, as queues can become very long and take away from the overall experience. * Table service in the evenings would be a great addition and would help reduce queues and improve the overall guest experience. Overall * We would happily return, but a few small improvements—particularly around the evening bar service and drinks quality—would help the hotel better meet 5-star expectations. * Overall, it was a fantastic family holiday with great facilities, friendly staff, excellent food and a very clean, modern environment.

Giada and the entertainment team were great!

We loved this hotel ,staff lovely friendly and helpful ,food was amazing ,drinks were always available not long queues ,we had a beach front room, little noisy in day as near extractor fan for kitchen, but out most of day so didn't bother saying anything ,we have booked for next year .

We thoroughly enjoyed our 11 night stay at Electra Palace. The rooms were spotless and modern with a great pool view. The pool area was immaculate and one of the best parts of the hotel, never had to fight for sunbeds as they enforced the no reserving bed rule which we loved to see. There was cabana beds, sun loungers, beds in the pool and bean bags so plenty options to sunbathe. There was table service at all bars and on all the sun loungers/cabanas. The cocktails were fantastic for an all inclusive and there was a huge selection and you can also request cocktails not on the menu. The food through the day was amazing, we loved the bakery for iced coffees and fresh bakes/sandwichs, the staff were very friendly. The ice cream parlour was a treat too. The Italian for lunch was great and lots of options, not so much options in the evening though. The greek restaurant and wine bar were a nice change and great experience. The buffet food was a bit repetitive but we are not picky eaters so didn't bother us and we always got something. The desserts were by far the best part! The beach was nice and a good place to watch the sunset. We played tennis in the morning which was good, you have to book this at reception. The rainbow bar across the road from the hotel was ideal for watching sport with friendly staff. The hotel had a big screen up to watch the world cup. We never used the spa but we went down for a look and it was spotlessly clean and the spa ladies were friendly. There was a shuttle bus from the hotel which you can book via QR code which takes you to various places, we went to Rhodes old town for 4 euros each. There was an option to extend your check out time for a fee but we chose to use the free shower room which you can book when checking out and you get 30 minutes to use this. Overall it was a fantastic hotel with fantastic facilities and we would definitely come back!
