Kresten Palace

Everything was super—the location, the room, and the hotel service, especially in the restaurant. A huge, special thank you to the restaurant waiters, Niki and Dabou!!!You’ve won my heart.

For a family summer holiday, it was more than good enough for us. It is quite well-positioned, allowing you to easily reach Rhodes Town while still enjoying some pool time and a bit of sea with stunning water. The hotel has been renovated, but not in every detail; there are still plenty of areas where the finishings show the age of the property. Even so, at first glance, it looks elegant, feels modern, and the effort to provide superior, quality service is truly noticeable—from reception and staff to the restaurant meals, everything seems to be heading in the right direction. In the room, we had everything we needed and everything worked well, even though we ended up in the very last room of one of the hotel blocks. Although breakfast might get a bit repetitive for the pickier guests, the culinary variety is sufficient, and there is always plenty to choose from every morning. There are enough coffee and drink stations so you never have to wait in endless queues. Dinner was a pleasant surprise—well-diversified, tasty, and featuring theme-night food stations every evening. If you don't want to hunt for an empty table each time, there is even the option to reserve one. The outdoor spaces are not cluttered with activities; they are airy, and green areas—slightly unkept in half of the complex—predominate. The location offers pleasant evenings for walking down to the shoreline or simply chatting in the open-air green garden under the stars. The only minor inconvenience is the sprinkler schedule, which is set a bit too early. Running them after midnight would be ideal to avoid any unexpected "extra showers." The kids' pool is well-positioned right next to the main one and slightly sheltered, making it a safe and fun spot for the little ones. The Half Board (HB) system, which I warmly recommend, feels like the best fit for this property because it completely avoids the noise, chaos, and mess usually found at All-Inclusive resorts. For those wanting to escape for a few days and explore the island (which I 100% recommend), just a few hundred meters from the hotel there is a car rental center (Kalithea Star) where the cars are not only reliable and comfortable but also well-maintained, and their rates (for a minimum of 3 days) are much better than the ones in the lobby. Also, for water, extra drinks, souvenirs, or forgotten items, there is an affordable supermarket right next to the car rental place. Personally, I want to thank both the reception and restaurant staff for their exceptional kindness and assistance; they managed to exceed not just expectations, but also our spontaneous requests every single time. They always wore a smile and gave off a wonderful, positive energy. Shoutout for Elenit Andrea, Raquel and Rafael. Also, if you have an early morning departure, you can request a takeaway breakfast box from the reception.

Very nive hotel,cousy atmoshere, very friendly staff, especially Mrs. Nena at the reception and Mrs. Margherita at the restaurant

I stayed here with my family in September 2026. First, the basic things: The rooms we had were modern and had everything we needed. The pool area offers plenty of space, a pool bar and a small restaurant with a good selection of food. The Olympia Restaurant has four different themed evenings during the week, so there is enough variety and something for everyone. The employees are also very nice and trying their best. The beach area is nothing special and not really what you would expect from a beach. There are much better beaches in the surrounding area. But that is something everyone has to decide for themselves. And maybe an Important hint for Young people who wants to do Hard Party. After 23:00 pm the Animation is Over and the Almost the whole hotel goes sleeping. And nearby the Hotel is Not to much to do or explore. Now to the special part: We met three people who made our holiday even better. First, Erla, who works at the hotel sports bar. She may have a serious look, but she is a very kind person. After the first evening, you already have her in your heart. Thank you for all the reservations ;) The other two are Kiko and Maddie. They are part of the animation team. In my opinion, they are the best animation team I have experienced in different hotels so far. It is not the same boring stuff every day. They offer karaoke, quizzes, bingo and activities where you can really take part and have fun. Very good! Kiko is a sensation – he seems to speak every language, is always helpful and simply does a great job as an entertainer. Maddie is a natural talent – ALWAYS in a good mood. Dancing and singing are no problem for her, and she even beat me at table tennis ;) She is a personality you don’t meet very often. Just really cool people who definitely make you forget about some of the little „negative“ things It was a real pleasure meeting these people and having them be part of our holiday! Keep going!
