5) buffet food appears good, but is served cold. Watch and you’ll notice a worrying trend - seafood buffet last night, seafood risotto tonight. These poor practices led to my husband getting ill - something many other guests have mentioned to us.

The hotel acknowledged all this to us, suggesting that due to COVID they couldn’t get enough staff. Interestingly though, every other hotel and restaurant around seems to be able to offer great service and great food.

The only positives were the great choice of pools and always plenty of sun loungers. Room was comfortable - would be nice if they finished the bathrooms at the breeze. A quick paint over a skimmed wall and shower floor that was clearly intended to be tiled is not 5*. More

  Excellent hotel with great facilities. We’ve had a great time, enjoying the beach and pools. Lots to do within the resort. All beautifully presented with amazing staff who are welcoming... read more and friendly. The food is delicious with endless choices. The buffets are very well presented and constantly topped up. Bar staff make great cocktails and the entertainment is fab.
Beach is pebbly so bring beach shoes.

We hardly spent any time actually at the Breeze, as all the restaurants/bars/etc are at the Imperial.

Food/Drink: The buffet restaurant is amazing - with loads of options, and different themed evenings so you get a real variety. The American pancakes at breakfast, and the pancetta pork that we had one evening were real highlights! The a la carte options, however, are not as amazing as they are hyped up to be. They are basically all in one large, soulless room next to the pool, with dividers splitting it up into sections for Mexican, Italian, Greek, and Asian. There's no real ambience, they sort of feel like a random addition they've shoved on for the sake of saying that there are a la carte options.

The Mexican was pretty bad - not many options (only one choice of dessert), and the quality of the food wasn't great. We were booked in at the Italian the following night, but decided to skip it as we preferred the food at the buffet. We had the Greek one booked on our last night, and this was better (which you would expect I suppose, being in Greece!).

The snack bars by the pools are also great - the Souvlaki one by the activity pool was our favourite! And the chips from the beach bar are amazing.

The drinks were a real let down. I think this, for me, is where I feel the resort fails as a 5-star. The drinks aren't branded, and are really poor quality. It took me a while to try and find one I actually liked. They also free-pour the spirits, which at first you're like "woohoo party" but actually, it just makes the drinks totally overpowering, especially when the alcohol is already quite bleachy! To be fair, it's what I expected from an all-inclusive, but perhaps I was just misled by the 5-star rating. One positive though is that the waiters at the main bar will remember your drinks orders and bring you your favourites without you even having to ask! That definitely feels luxury - it's just a shame that the product they're serving isn't.

Staff:
On the whole, staff were friendly and helpful, especially the bar staff and the "Captain" who welcomes you into the main restaurant. The animation team are a huge asset to the resort - during the day they're leading aquafit classes and the mini club, then by night they're putting on professional singing/dance shows in the ampitheatre. Very talented!

The only let downs were, ironically, the Guest Relations Manager, who was probably one of the rudest people I've ever spoken to. When we were booking in our a la carte meals, she asked for my name for the booking. I told her my name and she laughed in my face, and said no, this won't work. I need an easy name. Luckily my partner is called James, which was easy enough for her! Although we laughed about it, I just thought this was such a weird response, I could have happily spelled my name for her? She also just had a general attitude of "this is a big inconvenience to me". We found that a couple of the reception staff at the Breeze were also a little unhelpful/not very forthcoming with information.

Facilities:
The facilities are superb - there's definitely a lot to keep you entertained. During the day, there's lots of different swimming pools and the beach with watersports etc. There's also a bus stop right outside the lobby which takes you into Rhodes/Lindos if you fancy a change of scenery. In the evening, the animation team put on a great show at the ampitheatre, or there's always some live music on at the main bar (we had a great time dancing here with the other guests).

All in all, the resort is great and I can see how this would also be a lovely place for families. I just think the 5-star rating is a little misleading, for UK travellers anyway. More

  Arrived at the hotel late evening and straight away was made welcome. Sandwiches and drinks available in our room.
In the 7 nights we were here we visited 4... read more of the al a carte restaurant and our favourite was the Greek. Food and staff were excellent. Room cleaned daily and bedding changed during our stay. Part of Lindos Imperial hotel where the restaurants were. The complex is very large and hilly in places so we did not see the whole area.
Beach is full of pebbles so would recommend beach shoes.
We will definitely return as nothing to complain about.
Bar staff were always available to ensure we had a drink More

The restaurant opens out to the pool at one side which creates a beautiful, light and airy atmosphere. I’m very impressed with the whole experience.
