Lindos Royal

Stevie Harrison

Linda’s Royal is a decent hotel. Needs a little upkeep. Buffet food is good you will not be disappointed. Resort is a short distance from Lindos town. Local bus and taxi available. Night entertainment ok, better than most I would say. The health spa is the best part. Treatments are very good and the staff are really nice. Local boat trips available, we used captain Visalis which was really good. Stopped off in Hiraki for lunch which was good. Lots of eating places. Not much to do outside of the hotel. Lindos town is best for that.

Definitely not 5 star.... 3 at maximum. Rooms and outside areas of the hotel are extremely run down. Some places it would only take a coat of paint to make the world of difference! Sharp and broken tiles in the swimming pools, Beach toilets broken and water leaking down the paths.... I'm only hoping it was from the taps and not the toilets :). Very limited all inclusive selection (only 1 type of local lager). The all inclusive bar now stops serving at 11pm and after this you can only get drinks upstairs in the paid bar. Paid €6 for a warm bottle of Mythos and when I politely asked for a cold one he said all the fridges were set to 8 degrees... Cleaning staff were very nice and friendly and some of the bar staff actually made eye contact. The entertainment staff were excellent and always smiled and had a chat with us. We did actually complain about our room to reception but they couldnt care less, said we can move but would have to pay. We had already paid €4000 euros so thought this was an absolute joke. 2nd time we have syed in this hotel but we definitely won't be back.

Hotel was absolutely stunning. All the staff were lovely including the entertainers. The food was delicious and had a huge variety, the drinks were also very nice. Booking the themed restaurants was easy and the service was brilliant. We had the room with the pool which was lovely and peaceful. There was always plenty of sun-beds so no need to reserve them early in the morning. Not a bad word to say about our stay

Gave it 3 stars because it is not a 5 star hotel. Needs a face-lift badly. Cracks every where. Floor tiles. Pool tiles. Balconies. Staff in general are excellent. Friendly and fun. Food ok. Entertainment is very good. Bins were left overflow which attracted wasps. Certainly not within walking distance of Lindos. 14 Euro taxi ride.

We have been back from the lindos royal 6 days now, I've been thinking about this review, but still not sure where to start !! I actually think I'm being generous with 2 stars . 1 star is for the bar staff and 1 for the food, and thats being generous . All the money has been spent in reception and lobby bar, the rest of this place has been left to rot ! €115 euro tourist tax on check in is not good to kick off i know it has to be paid but I've never paid €115 before, anywhere !! To start , our room (1202 ) our faces dropped when we opened the door, it was so small. ( if you are still reading, I would put the kettle.on ! ) bed , desk and that was it . The door to the tiny balcony didn't lock, our view was ocross the reception roof, which was a mess, and if we sat on the balcony with curtains open, everybody who used the corridor from the lifts can see straight into your room. Plus, from the corridor you could walk out onto the roof and climb over onto our balcony. The air conditioning sounded like a jet plane about to take off so couldn't have it on during the night. And the pillows are probably the worst I have ever put my head on, after the first night I used a folded blanket all week ! Them pillows must have come from a Turkish market , 5000 for 10 euros !. All the tv channels are in German apart from bbc news for some reason . On day 3 the ants arrived on the desk , and wouldn't leave, there was a 2.inch gap under the door so the room lit up all night. And it took my wife 3 days , 4 visits to reception dealing with 3 different people just to get a hairdryer ! Which the manager insisted was in our room, until she came up herself and realised it wasn't, just 3 rawl plugs in the wall where it should be. We had a corner shower cubicle, but no doors on it so the floor got soaked, which meant after 2 showers you then couldn't use the bathroom without getting wet feet. The only place to get a drink is 2 outdoor pool bars, day or night. the lobby bar , the only indoor bar, you have to pay for !! Beer is served in small.plastic cups, half froth half beer, cheap crap too. 1 day you couldn't get beer in 1 bar, the next day we couldn't get coffee in the other bar, not 5 star service. 1 night we paid for drinks in the lobby bar, my can of guinness was warm and came in an Ice cream sundae glass .! ( no joke ) The only place you can really go is into lindos for any decent night life, which varies from €10 - €15 euro each way in a taxi. As said the food is ok, but after 4/5 days we were just fed up of the same repetitive stuff. And when the dining area is closed there is no easy access to outdoor areas. The toilets in the hotel are cleaned regularly by the freindly philipino woman, but urinals had black bags over them all week, no locks on cubicle.doors and doors that didnt even open without hitting the bowl, then you have to squeeze in ! The pool areas are OK but the further you look around the grounds the more neglected it is , the private bit that goes down to the sea is a derelict dumping ground for.old parasols and sunbeds and smells.of sewage. The actual beach which the hotel claims is theirs, is 100/150 m away, down some steps they advise not to use because they aren't safe, it's a pebble beach which I could live with, but it's dirty ! Not looked after because it makes them no money. Half the sunbeds are broken , there are toilets but you have to pay to use. And nowhere to get a drink, unless you walk all the way back up to the hotel pool bar ! On our last day we got to use a shower room for 30 mins, that room was miles better than ours , big room good shower ( with door ) We spoke to quite a few couples who had the same experience as us and quite a few unhappier than us, for the amount of money they charge here it really should be better, and with all the choices available, we will never return. Considering its all inc, we spent twice as much money making sure we spent most of our time outside the hotel , Rhodes is nice but this hotel is not ! I wouldnt go back here for a week.even if it was free.
