Belair Beach Hotel

Spędziliśmy 3 noce w Hotelu Belair z wykupionymi śniadaniami. W pierwszą noc otrzymaliśmy mały pokój 10-12 m2 z widokiem na morze, mimo, że rezerwowałem pokój o powierzchni 22 m2 (standardowy pokój na Trip.com). Recepcja na drugi dzień bezproblemowo zaproponowała zamianę pokoju na właściwy - większy. Pokoje dość nowocześnie urządzone w stylu wakacyjnym z lodówką, czajnikiem a w łazience - z suszarką. Na terenie hotelu znajdują się 2 baseny. W lipcu o godz. 10 nie było już wolnych leżaków. Zamiast basenu polecam wybrać się na cały dzień na plażę - najlepsza jest 30 m od hotelu (na wysokości hotelu Rodos Palace - przejście pod ziemne tuż przy znaku Rodos Pałace). Zaproponowano nam wymianę ręczników raz na dwa dni. W hotelu w sezonie wieczorne atrakcje przed hotelowym barem tuż przy ruchliwej ulicy. Pod hotelem znajdują się dwa supermarkety, gdzie można kupić od jedzenia przez suweniry. Śniadanie dobre, nieduży wybór i dość monotonne. Obsługa od sprzątaczek do recepcji - miła i komunikująca się w j. angielskim. Przed hotelem znajdują się przystanki autobusowe, z których autobusy dowiozą z/na lotnisko i do centrum Rodos. Bilety na przejazd należy kupić w supermarkecie pod hotelem. Mimo kilku niedogodnie hotel oceniam na mocne 4/5 pkt.

I’m writing this as it’s the day before our departure tomorrow. In all, the Belair Beach hotel is OKAY but it’s definitely not a 4*, I’d say 3*+ at a push. We arrived around 00:30 on the Wednesday night / Thursday morning and after a day of travelling we just wanted to get a good nights sleep however on our arrival there was no one on reception. A lovely barman (Ilias) apologised and told us someone would be there soon. Some 10 or so minutes later, a gent arrived as casual as you like and offered no apology. The room was ok, we had a sea view but be aware this hotel is on a very busy main road so all you can hear is the heavy traffic. There’s also a gap under the door so you can hear everything in the corridor too especially late revellers returning home after a night in Falaraki at 3am. They’re not fire doors so you’ll hear everything. The rooms were cleaned daily and the maids were pleasant but if you’re looking for a bed around the pool where the daytime activities are then you’ll need to be down there by 6/7 am even though there are signs up telling you not to reserve beds by placing towels on them or they’ll be removed. There is a smaller more quiet pool which is better for getting a bed but again it can get quite busy especially in the afternoons. We opted for spending 3 days down on the beach as you’re guaranteed a bed at €5 per person per day. The beach guy is really friendly and you can even pay by card and he’ll watch your belongings for you if you return to the hotel for lunch. Just remember every time you cross the road you’re taking your life into your hands. It’s SO busy and there are no crossings. Food was ok, again, not what I’d call 4* quality but it was decent enough. I think there was only one evening there was nothing we fancied so decided to eat out as there’s a strip of bars and restaurants approximately 10 minute walk to the left out of the hotel. There’s also a little bar/restaurant to the right literally next door called IDEAL that serves the best Mythos we’ve tasted. The hotel is only a 10 minute bus journey into Rhodes old town too which is absolutely beautiful so there’s plenty of choice although it’s very busy at the moment as it’s peak season. All inclusive drinks are pretty rubbish at Belair Beach. The beer is Zythos Vap (like a cheap Mythos) and you can really taste the difference. There are only a few basic cocktails on the menu and any ciders etc you have to pay for. By far the least selection of drinks I’ve ever had in an AI. Greek night is on a Friday with Greek dancers, every other night is your typical hotel entertainment. As we arrived in the early hours of the morning, the gentleman who checked us in informed us that we could ask the day before departure for a late checkout at a cost of €55, We have just done this but the lady on reception was rude and told us we should have requested this 48 hours before departure. I tried to explain that I was simply going on the information provided by her c

Lovely Hotel. Staff very friendly food is fresh and well cooked Maid are brilliant Great location only £15 euro in a taxi to the Old town £26 euro if you want to go to Faliraki Only down side as in a lot of hotel people put towels on sunbeds at 6am and don’t come back till later ( a lot of hotels do this ) They should do as Avra beach do. If you’re not on your sunbed at 8am your towels are removed . No daytime activities Evening shows are ok and are outside which is good Would come back

We were kindly upgraded to an executive room as it was my husband’s birthday -They also included a birthday cake for him. This was a surprise birthday trip and that just topped it. (I had emailed the hotel prior to ask if there was availability for upgrade however they were full at my time of asking). We had 2x plates of food and 2x bottled water on arrival due to the time and missing evening meal. People were up super early putting towels on the sun loungers however we would always find some empty beds before 10am and some did become free throughout the day. Daytime entertainment was aqua gym and water polo, evening entertainment was okay HOWEVER we weren’t keen on watching due to the smell of sewerage. It was all week and on the last day we realised the building opposite was a sewerage filtration plant of such. I like to watch the entertainment however my husband was not able to withstand the smell. Entertainment people were good and tried to get everyone involved. Drinks are good however very syrupy and sweet. The downstairs front bar is open late but All inclusive ends at 11pm. Food - unfortunately I am very fussy and I wasn’t able to find much to eat at the hotel at lunch or evening meal. Only once did they do a meat option without being covered in some kind of sauce. There was always gyros and pizza for both sittings. Breakfast was much better however Bacon was just crispy burnt ham and sausages were frankfurters. Lots of fruit and a medley of salad selection for every serving. Lunch and evening meal you had servers bringing your drinks. We visited the restaurant next to the shop on the right on a few occasions and that was very good, very friendly service and even put the F1 on for us. Also take a left out of the hotel and about 15-20min walk will take you to more restaurants and bars. These were also very good! The El Greco do plate smashing every night at 8.30pm and the food is delicious- best we had all week! Would I go back??? Probably not, but that’s down to me and my food preferences. The hotel itself was lovely. Pool area always clean, in fact the whole place was always spotless. The pool itself was inviting and it was Nice to chill at the edge overlooking the beach and wind surfers.

WIFI Before visiting, I noticed the hotel management was very vocal here about improving the Wi-Fi but I think they only upgraded it downstairs. The signal was usable in the main common areas like the pools and reception. You’d get the best signal with a clear line of sight to a router. I only saw one on the roof overlooking the right-hand/regular room pool, which worked decently. Most I got from that one was almost 200Mbps. The left pool had one too but I couldn’t spot it, and the signal there was a bit worse because it wasn't placed optimally like the other one was. The Wi-Fi upstairs was especially bad, and I’m not sure why. All the routers looked like cheap, basic models you’d find at home and not suitable for a hotel where dozens of guests are trying to connect. Just a single wall between you and a router would tank the signal and speed. It constantly defaulted to 2.4GHz, even if your device supported 5GHz. Sometimes you'd stay connected to 5Ghz for a split second up to few minutes, but it would always switch eventually. At times, it would disconnect altogether, forcing me phone to use mobile data. I strongly recommend getting a data plan if you plan to stay here, Both in general and for a backup. These is an issue that could be fixed! Upgrade the routers to professional-grade, high-capacity routers from reputable brands, that would improve the experience a tonne for guests. Hospitality I wish there was more people around the left pool bar, long wait to just get drinks, most times I saw just one poor woman serving when there should have been more. Day plan seemed basic, sometimes wasn't clearly announced over the speaker and didn't sometimes start on time. I didn't see like a plan of their day anywhere the only thing I saw was a small paper in reception that said what they were doing for evening entertainment or the "animation" team. This was hit or miss like some nights just seemed a bit uninspired. but some nights (albeit with hired professionals) like the Greek night and Fire Breather night was pretty good. The choices in the canteen (except dinner) didn't change and was the same kind of typical continental food you would find anywhere, except of course Greek food that in all services to some amount. The staff were very attentive and always kind and polite. Somehow the hotel lost the safe key to my room. so, I had to go risk my possessions without. Luckily nothing happened to my items, but I would have expected the hotel to always keep track of things like safe keys. I think the receptionist wanted us to wait for the key to show up, so apparently, they were searching for it, but I asked a few times, and no key ever showed. Hotel should have backup keys or replace the safe. Plus, it wasn't that big anyway it was very small safe. like a laptop would not fit. Hotel has some kind of proprietary NFC card system for room access like most; an annoying thing is you must but this into a card system in the room for anything to work. This
