The setting of the whole resort is beautiful, with stunning planting and bougainvillea everywhere so you know you're in the Mediterranean. Sea views from the main areas of the hotel and views from the room were good, looking over the Breeze pool and with mountains to the left and the sea to the right. The pools are all good, with comfy sunloungers. The food is good, whether in the buffet or a la carte. The staff serve you in the buffet, and they're generous with the portions. We tried the Italian, Asian, Mexican and Greek a la carte restaurants, all very good. You book the restaurants via the app, which was easy and you can see the menus before booking; we were a little concerned when seeing the menus as the Mexican and Asian don't have vegetarian mains, however we put a note on the booking and when we arrived for our reservation they knew we were veggie and had a range of delicious options available.

The drinks are variable, with the same cocktail being made differently depending on who makes it. Without a doubt the best cocktails we found were from Camellia in the Breeze pool bar; in a hotel where every single staff member was brilliant, friendly and so hard-working, Camellia still managed to stand out. She would frequently do the rounds of the pool to take drinks orders, and deliver them to your sunlounger, and when it was another guest's birthday she gathered the few people who were round the pool and produced a bottle of 'champagne', which was a lovely touch. After a long day serving everyone at the pool, she'd then be found working in the restaurant in the evening; many of the staff can be seen working hard at breakfast, lunch and still be on the go serving and clearing dinner late into the evening. They must be exhausted, but you never see it, in a whole week we didn't meet any staff member who was anything less than friendly, welcoming and eager to help - I only hope management fully recognise what a great team they have. I unfortunately didn't get the name of 'cheese man', a young, slim, dark-haired man who tends to the salad and cheese section at dinner in the buffet, but he always took so much care to give you a good selection of different cheeses, and to arrange the cheese nicely on your plate with garnishes etc - a lovely touch, when it would have been easier to just plonk it on!
The only downside at this hotel was the wine, which varied from okay to not nice. Sparkling wine is included in the all inclusive, however we found that one glass we'd order would be nice, the next would be undrinkable. Partway through the holiday we discovered why - sometimes we'd get actual sparkling wine, other times it was sparkling apple wine (I.e bad cider), and there seemed to be no rhyme or reason as which you'd get. The Italian restaurant served the nice version though, and they kept our glasses topped up!
All in all we spent a lovely week at the Lindos Breeze/Imperial, and it was an absolute bargain for the price we paid. I would recommend it due to the staff, scenery and food, and if they get rid of the apple wine I would return! More

Only... read more plaster on walls and in shower. Not one person on reception knows what they are doing hotel only provides buggy to beach if you are staying in main hotel. NO facilities if you are travelling late in the day to go home. TOTAL NIGHTMARE. DO NOT VISIT THIS HOTEL GROUP.

As some said finish in bathrooms is shocking, same as the brushed concrete look is nice and modern The pool bar was nice and relaxing and Camelia, as every else says is a credit to the hotel. At this time of year the restaurant there was sadly closed so all food and drinks had to be consumed in the main hotel. This was our first all inclusive holiday so some of this may be normal and we just didn’t like it! The main buffet hall is pretty awful. Dated and doesn’t match the rest of hotel.

(And a la cartes we’re always full and not really appealing as just in main hotel dining room as a separated area - some just weren’t open at all). We thought we’d be feasting on gyros, souvlaki and kaleftiko but the only thing Greek was side salads every night. How strange they should choose an Italian, Mexican and Asian night but not one to celebrate their own wonderful cuisine!!

Pool areas were all really nice, modern and well laid out. Always plenty of beds. But lack of pool toilets nearby so you have to walk through the hotel with wet feet all the time. We found the staff at activity bar very rude and they looked thoroughly sick of serving greedy customers. The staff on the main pool bar near crepes were much better.

Beach wasn’t amazing but fine. So we didn’t use it much and chose to drive it Lindos and nearby Glistra bays instead. Nothing in surround area to talk too. Very scruffy as soon as you leave the compound. No bars or tavernas in walking distance.

My main criticism of the hotel though is the evening spaces. The main lobby bar and outdoor balcony is the main space. But it’s so bright. The lights are never dimmed and it’s like an airport lounge. Everyone sits playing cards. The staff were very good though and in particular thanks to Semis who was very very hard working. The balcony was nicer with amazing views but looked like a forgotten area with no planting. Also no entertainment and your couldn’t hear the live music from inside. Perhaps this was end of season problem too. Drinks were nice, beer actually quite drinkable. Cocktails varied from bar to bar.

The kids disco and evening entertainment is in this weird soulless amphitheater. Miles away up near activity pool. There is a little bar to get drinks but it’s not somewhere we felt we could sit and relax whilst the kids had fun. Drinks all in paper cups so not luxurious at all. More a pop there for disco and leave area. Which meant we didn’t have much chance to relax and chat with kids able to enjoy themselves near by as they are still young (2 and 7). The kids did love the nightly mini disco though.

Overall we had a nice family time but I’m glad we only paid a fraction of usual season prices as it did feel like a compromise holiday. I don’t think I’d go all inclusive again as we didn’t really feel like we’d been to Greece in the end and I missed explorin. But I guess that’s not really the hotel’s fault. Lindos is beautiful so I think we’ll try there again on a self made holiday!! More

  We stayed in the Lindos Breeze and had a good apartment in a smaller hotel block with exclusive use of pool and bar. We had the use of all facilities... read more at the Lindos Imperial which was just across the road. Unfortunately at the time we visited, last week of October, the entertainment had finished and the 5 restaurants were closing. However the main buffet restaurant offered a good selection of food (although not hot enough for us). We enjoyed the wonderful towns nearby and a bus stop was located right outside the hotel. The bar staff went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay a were friendly and really helpful. Our special thanks go to Romeo at the main pool bar who really looked after us and to Alexandros, Altin and Semis in the main reception bar who made sure we enjoyed our evenings at the hotel and helped us when we wanted to find good places to go outside of the hotel. Really enjoyed evening at Atmosphere Lounge and Lindos is beautiful. If you want a quiet holiday in a lovely country then this time of year would be great but probably not last week if you want you want to enjoy all the facilities.

  From the moment you arrive to your departure the staff at the Lindos Breeze went above and beyond to help and take care of you, not to mention keep you... read more safe. Hygiene standards were high. All the staff were so courteous and very friendly. My Sister and I stayed in Block 6000 and mainly in the day used the bar Breeze Pool Bar, there you find Camellia who worked in that bar. She is amazing. Carmellia could not do enough for us and the other guests she looked after. She was always chatty and smiling. She even anticipated when we required our next drink. What more can I say. Then bless her she was running about the restaurant working so hard to get the food out from the kitchens. What an asset to the hotel. Not to mention the other lads in the main bar constantly serving, never had long to wait. Our Receptionist in the block we stayed in was an asset, he was full of knowledge, so helpful. Our favourite Al la carte restaurant was the fish one by the beach. The waiter was there to recommend what was the best, sorry forgotten his name. The only down side which wasn't any fault of the hotel was the mosquitoes. Do ask at reception for a plug in or take your own. I bought sprays for the room, lotions to put on but I still got bitten. It might be a good idea the hotel spray the grounds !! My Sister and I had a fantastic stay at the Lindos Breeze. Thank you all.

Instead we were given a measly roll and a glass of water. The receptionist could hardly be bothered to look up from her phone as we queried why the people behind us were checked in straight away.

After being put into the cab outside the hotel we thought we would try and get some sleep wherever they were sending us and call in the morning for an update. We had booked the Lindos Breeze for its small boutique feel and ample amenities. We were sent to a hotel with a capacity 10x that of our original booking. We spoke to the people behind reception who gave us the keys to our room and then explained to us all the extra charges we would face at this new hotel (alcohol was an extra charge at the a la cart restaurant, evening entertainment was at an extra charge, safety deposit boxes cost €25 for the week and so on). Then we were shown to a room which was incredibly run down, with a dirty bathroom, ant problem, a door which had a crack the entire way around the frame which let light in all night and old food behind the furniture.

We were upset and disgusted. We informed our provider of the issue who tried to get in touch with the Lindos Breeze who refused to respond until 3 days later to say the issue was still present and they would not be able to have us back for the duration of our stay. From prior experience booking with BA we know that their providers are normally very quick at responding and resolving any issues as quickly as possible but it appeared the Lindos Breeze could not have cared less.

During this time we had spoken to other people at the new hotel who had similar experiences with the Lindos Breeze 2-3 days prior to our arrival however they had been informed the hotel had been overbooked, we began to think that maybe there wasn't a plumbing issue after all.

After complaining to the front desk at our new accommodation they were very helpful in upgrading our room and offering complimentary excursions and spa treatments and we ended up having a lovely time at the new hotel. After the initial blip we really cannot fault the hotel we ended up at for their hospitality. However, this hotel was definitely not the same as the 5* resort we had booked and paid for. The fact that the Lindos Breeze thought this was a reasonable replacement is shocking.

It's a shame as we have friends who were looking to take a trip to Greece and prior to our arrival I said I'd let them know how the hotel was but after our experience I urge people to stay away. Not only did we feel taken advantage of but it spoiled our first few days away, not the relaxing start we wanted to our holiday at all.

I know it's been a tough few years for hotels and hospitality but you cannot treat people like this. We were truly disgusted by the management at the Lindos Breeze. More
