Had a short early break with family - all female. The hotel complex had only just opened for the season so everything was stood to attention, spotlessly clean and well... read more managed. The staff are well trained, polite and attentive. Although this is part of a complex it is spacious and well planned. The water sports on the beach were readily available at this time in the season, the catering is good for Greek all inclusive and every effort made to accommodate all tastes. The specialists restaurants - we tried Mexican, are not as good. The highlight for us was the beach bar in the annex part of the hotel, very quiet and the attention of Camille needs special and grateful mention. Camille is a star, she is an excellent ambassador for Lindos Breeze, her no alcohol mojitos are to die for! Thank you Camille. If you do go here, try the beach bar in the next bay along Glystra, the new beach bar is fabulous. It is possible to walk along and over the headland, but the road is better and about a 20 minute walk. The only downside of Lindos Breeze is that it is a bus ride (about 30 minutes) from Lindos so the Breeze is a bit isolated - but has everything. Another nice walk is towards the village of Kiotari and calling in another newish beach bar there. The cocktails here are amazing, if you’ve never had the name of a bar cut out in orange peel and balanced in your cocktail - go here!

  Just got back from a week at the Lindos Breeze, although I should probably just say the Lindos resort, as the Breeze is basically one or two buildings and a... read more pool amongst the wider complex. We hardly spent any time actually at the Breeze, as all the restaurants/bars/etc are at the Imperial. However, if you wanted somewhere quiet to sit, the pool at the Breeze was great as it was slightly secluded from the rest of the resort. When you arrive, ask for a map because it took us a while to figure out where everything was!

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.

  The main reason we chose the breeze was for the food as illustrated on their website. If booking this hotel or the Lindos imperial be aware of the following:... read more 1) there is no food options at the breeze. The dedicated restaurant for the Breeze was closed in our visit. Pool bar shuts at 6. They offer pre made sandwiches and nothing else. No ice cream for the kids. 2) At time of writing the hotel offers one al la carte restaurant per night. This is rotated so one night Greek, one night Asian, one night Mexican and one night fish etc. Some are buffet not al la carte and correspond to the same theme night in the main buffet. They are all taken in the same restaurant. In past years, all restaurants are open all the time. 3) Due to the above, you cannot get booked into a restaurant unless you spend ages going back and forth to guest services. The first response will be they’ll confirm your reservation later. That never happens, so you have to ask again. Also, as the al la cartes are not operating, the buffet is chaos. Long queues to get in then masses of people at the counters. 4) there is no fresh food cooking around the pool or beach. Noodles are pre made and served in a box.

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

  Best Hotel
This Hotel was well above expectations.It is a hidden gem.Clean modern room special thanks to reception and pool bar staff.Breakfast amazing and good choice of 5 a la... read more carte restaurants.We’d go back, that’s for sure !

  Fabulous hotel, clean and well organised. Given Covid all our meals were served in the Lindos Imperial, sister hotel. Food choices were excellent and with unlimited dine around... read more we were certainly spoilt. Great idea to download the Imperial app and book restaurants, very easy.

We chose to use the pools at the Breeze and we are so glad we did. Camelia was absolutely fab, making sure we always had a drink in hand, whether it be coffee, water, fruit juice or alcohol. This lady works so incredibly hard to make sure her guests completely relax. She is a credit to herself and the hotel. I hope she is recognised for all the hard work and personal service she provides.

I know that we have made a friend who we will stay in touch with. Thank you also for her fabulous surprise, announcing our engagement to other guests and asking them to join us poolside where she produced champagne, raising a glass to us and everyone offering their congratulations. A wonderful and touching moment. Thank you ❤️

  We ordered vacation on this hotel but it was really big mistake. We extra paid for deluxe room but when we arrived they just normally told us that our room... read more is not available. After that they sent us to the partner hotel with name Lindos Imperial. They gave us “belt” just for all inclusive though we had Ultra all inclusive. We got very nasty, dirty and smell room which one didn’t reach by mistake 5*. It was less then 4*. Bathtub looked dirty like someone from housekeeping taking one bath before we came and also without bath plug. We got room in the relax pool where is playing music really quietly, everywhere are sticker with “no noises and no music”. We were with this fine. Bar on the relax pool was for free at the midnight and after that to 1am for extra pay, it’s ok, but when you want to sleep there were every single night sitting people who are really noisy, just for information there were sitting to 2am. We don’t have problem with this but why were there sticker and no one did anything. From midnight to 2am you can heard like minimum four times personal traveling with their golf car which is very loud. Everything we told to our delegate and after that we were waiting “five” days for getting our deluxe room. Delegate was calling us afternoon that our room is already prepared. Alright we...

Everything we told to our delegate and after that we were waiting “five” days for getting our deluxe room. Delegate was calling us afternoon that our room is already prepared. Alright we were happy to finally get our deluxe, but we were on the all day trip on Symi island. When arrived we took our baggage’s. Of course on reception they told us that in our room is already someone ? How it’s possible ? Just told try it tomorrow. Yes we waited six of eight days for room which we extra pay !! I can’t found the words for this but they were throwing us like hot potatoes between two hotels. We spend like one whole day just for the running between hotels and taking information what will be happening. Communication was terrible. Go there, wait, go there, wait and all time the same. I lost my patient. When someone want to play billiard or something else you need 1€ or 2€ coins but they can’t exchange ? This is still not finish .. After we got our room we were surprised. At the first sight looks nice but when we were coming it was something similar like first room. The food was all time without any tasting but no we didn’t have a corona virus. When we were going to take some food usually they asked us if we want to sit inside or outside. When outside we must to wait for free table but we can’t take any food, just wait for the table however we see tables which were empty. I always drink just tea but like halftime I got lukewarm water. We have just a few things where we told that is good. Plus have kitchen on the beach it was really good. Sea is there very beautiful and beaches clear. What’s surprised us when I was really sick they imported pills from pharmacy to the hotel. But again little minus, they got our room number and phone number and anyone didn’t called that antibiotics and pills are ready. They told that for one hour will be there and bring it on my room. I waited three hours and after I was going to the reception and take it because it was already like two hours. Just btw I waited the whole day for the doctor from 10am to 9pm. But I think that is not problem from the hotel. We want to say thank you to the bartender with name Gerasimos. I would like to point out that we both working whole life in restaurants and hotels so we think that this review is corrected. First and last time. More
