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.

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

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.

Here I would like to highlight the professional performance of Xenia, who always greeted and warmly welcomed everyone.

The resort also has several a la card restaurants, but only 2 were open during our stay.

In addition to soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, including mixed drinks, were served at the beach bar. From noon there was also food available, which they prepared fresh every day. There were salads of chicken, burgers, gyros, pizza and the like to choose from.

The whole complex was maintained and regularly disinfected. Sunbeds on the beach and at the pools were disinfected every day after completion. The tables and chairs in the beach bar were also disinfected.

The evening program with live music took place directly in the lobby bar, or for children in the amphitheater, where there was also a regular program for adults.

I can only recommend the Lindos Breeze and Lindos Imperial hotel complex. Everyone will find something for themselves here. I will definitely be back here, either alone or with friends.

Thank you to all the staff for the great service during my stay and I wish everyone especially health in this pandemic period. More

  We stayed in the newer Lindos Breeze section for 2 weeks but leaving review here as it is all part of the same resort and all facilities provided by Lindos... read more Imperial. Summary: You'll have a good holiday, but in my opinion this hotel is not comparable to other 5 star hotels in Greece we have stayed at such as the Blue Lagoon Princess in Kos or the Euphoria Resort in Crete. The hotel is looking tired, does not have enough staff and the restaurant/ food situation is highly flawed. Also some very strange decisions/ processes that the hotel has in place that becomes frustrating after a while. Positives 1. The vast majority of staff are amazing, friendly and work very hard. There's a few grumpy waitresses but generally all positive. Table service at main lobby bar good. 2. Our Family room at the breeze was a good size and fine for older kids with their own beds (reason why we chose it over a room at The Imperial) 3. The Asian restaurant is really good 4. Drink and cocktail selection is good 5. Views are great, hotel also looks amazing at night 6. Bus stop opposite hotel with frequent buses to Pefkos, Lindos, Rhodes Town Negatives 1.

Positives
1. The vast majority of staff are amazing, friendly and work very hard. There's a few grumpy waitresses but generally all positive. Table service at main lobby bar good.
2. Our Family room at the breeze was a good size and fine for older kids with their own beds (reason why we chose it over a room at The Imperial)

4. Drink and cocktail selection is good
5. Views are great, hotel also looks amazing at night
6. Bus stop opposite hotel with frequent buses to Pefkos, Lindos, Rhodes Town

Negatives
1. The hotel plainly did not have sufficient staff to cover their maximum booking. This meant lack of toilet cleaning/ supplies every day and waitresses running around like mad every meal time as well as long queues at bars at peak times. While i understand hotels have to catch up post COVID (and i can't compare to Pre), the hotel could not cope.
2. The restaurant situation is a nightmare. Not sure I've ever seen queues at other 5 star hotels for tables at the buffet restaurant at mealtimes, but pretty much did every evening we were there. The buffet restaurant is too small. Food is "ok", very repetitive and lacking quality seen elsewhere. Food also often cold - not acceptable in my opinion.
Getting an A La Carte restaurant booked is a nightmare. You sinply have to complain and/or go see Gabriela at guest relations EVERY day. We had multiple issues, mix ups, lack of booking confirmations etc.
But ultimately we got 6 bookings for 2 weeks thankfully. They could always fit you in a few days in advance when you saw them in person. But the process is seriously flawed. Ironically when you do visit the A La cartes they were always half empty!! I recommended they increase bookings to take the stress away from the buffet restaurant but it fell on deaf ears.
Again my theory is it is due to lack of staff.
But its a massive resort and popping down to the lobby area each day is ridiculous.
I did ask to speak to a manager at one point, he was busy, so i left my contact details but unsurprisingly i never heard back. Shame.
Lastly, there's definitely mis-selling over the noodle and soulvaki and burger bars. They dont exist as such - they just offer pre packed food at those locations.
A nicer lunch time buffet equivalent like we've seen elsewhere would have been a good option.
Per above, Asian a la carte was great, Italian was nice, Greek disappointing and Grill house very poor (tasteless steak).
Id also highlight that the starters and desserts are fixed (no options) - you just get to choose your main course at every restaurant - very confusing on our first visit and again very strange. Not A La Cartes at all really.
3. Our room had a lovely balcony but the AC unit was on the floor and blew hot air on to you and very noisy, so ended up hardly being used
4. The room quality was not amazing - lots of minor flaws such as no wardrobe provided (!), lack of space for clothes (frankly ridiculous for a family room), bathroom looked unfinished (ran out of time?)
5. Drink quality was average (e.g. Soft drinks from pump often flat or tasteless). It frustrated my wife as she is not a wine or lager fan. Nice cocktails mind. No bottled water offered.
6. Buggies were available to take you around the resort (its large), but much to my kids annoyance we never got to use them once due to awkward booking processes that didn't work (in other hotels we've seen them used between common points, but not here). Would've been great to not have to walk up a very steep hill in 90c+ to get to the activity pool and waterslides.
7. Usual sun lounger reservation issues. No one from hotel ever policing. Swimming pools were never cleaned while i was there so ended up getting very grubby as others have commented.

I hope all this detail helps.
We still had a great family holiday but i certainly would not recommend the hotel - simply too many minor flaws combined with the ridiculous restaurant situation. 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.
