Kalithea Horizon Royal

We have just arrived back from this most Beautiful hotel, I am surprised by a lot of the complaints I have read. Yes you can get bitten at night bit we took spray with us as we do everytime we go abroad (just in case) yes my son saw a rat ( its a well known fact we are almost always woth a few meters of a rat) BUT the hotel cleanleness was amazing. Not only that but they have Cats around the hotel that are fed and looked after by the hotel to help with this. Yes there are crickets and the noise is quote loud and there are lizards but you are abroad. You soon get used to it. The staff were amazing around the pool, bars, restaurants, reception and shops. The All Inclusive for the beach is for everyone and our TUI rep gave us the option on the arrivals welcome meeting ( which I strongley advise you to go to as they give you maps of the hotel and helpful hints) we arrived on the 15th of July and we met so many wonderful people who were English, as well as Scottish. The Entertainment staff at the Safari bar in the evenings would ask everybody were they were from Country by Country so it was easy to find other people. The hotel was just the Gem that kept on giving the little food stall in the gazebo was amazing, the beach was beautiful, rooms lovely and clean . Thank you for such a wonderful time.

Travelled as a family in July 2026 with 2 teenagers. Positives - the views are stunning - our 2 bed/2 bath suite was huge in a great location, so much storage space, very comfy beds and very good, quiet air con - staff were extremely polite and friendly - rooms were cleaned daily - you can change pool towels whenever you like - several large pool area to choose from - beach a 5-10min walk away with very clear, calm water and good for snorkelling Negatives - if you travel from the UK with TUI your all inclusive package does NOT cover the restaurant on the beach. You can upgrade for 10 euros per person per day but you have to do this for your entire stay, not just for a couple of days which is a shame. - there is no air con anywhere in the hotel apart from the bedrooms, making restaurants/bars/reception/shop etc…very warm - labelling of food/dishes often missing - flies often seen on/around the food in the main Athena restaurant - we unfortunately saw a rat at the Safari bar running around where people were sitting enjoying a drink after dinner. Not great and it stopped us returning to that area as also a lot of biting flies around there.

We stayed in July 2026. The hotel is set above the sea with great views. The location is good with a bus stop nearby taking you to Rhodes old town for €2.50 each way or Falaraki. There is no air con anywhere in the hotel apart from your hotel room. Dining is all outside with no AC which we struggled with due to the heat. Drinks are okay. AI beer is not the best but doable. Hotel is mainly catered for Germans / French / Dutch - very little British people staying at the hotel. Close to a lovely beach which is great for snorkelling. There was a lot of lotuses outside our hotel room which make a dreadful sound all night which kept us awake the first 3 nights but then you get use to them . Overall a nice hotel but don’t think we will be returning anytime soon.

It's a huge hotel on a cliff with its own beach down the hill, there is a free golf cab which can take you there if you don't want to walk, but they stop running after 6 pm. There is a shop in the hotel which has everything you may need during your stay, including some over the counter meds. The bus stop to go to Old Town is just outside the hotel (cash and card payment). Pros. The food is amazing, lots of choice. Good drink menu. Rooms are cleaned daily and are absolutely spotless. Staff are very friendly. Cons. Ants and flies. We had ants on our balcony and some in the room. They gave us a spray which helped to keep the ants away from the room, but there were still a lot of them on the balcony. Flies are a huge annoying problem too, impossible to just sit down and relax outside during the day. You can avoid them though if you go to stay by the lower pool or by the sea. NB. The beach bar and the beach sunbeds are all inclusive for blue bracelets only (Polish and German guests). All others, including the UK guests, have to pay for that.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Kalithea Horizon Royal. The whole resort was immaculate — spotless rooms, beautifully maintained grounds, and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere throughout.The food was great every single day, with loads of choice and consistently high quality. We especially loved the Thalassa Restaurant, where Tania was always warm, welcoming, and so lovely to chat to. She made every meal feel special.Our room was kept perfect thanks to Maria, our housekeeper, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was fresh and immaculate.Evenings at the lounge bar were a highlight too — Savvas was brilliant, friendly, and always made sure we were well looked after. Honestly, ignore the bad reviews. This hotel is absolutely fab. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish, and the staff truly make it exceptional. We would happily return.
