Elysium Resort & Spa

We have just had a blissful 11-night stay at the Elysium Resort and Spa. The hotel is an absolute dream! We arrived at around 12.30am to a warm and friendly check-in. We were shown to out room, which was one of the recently renovated Premium rooms and located in the Eos building, this being the furthest away from the main hotel complex but for us the perfect location. The rooms offer bright and airy décor, with a stunning sea view. Efficient and quiet air conditioning is a real plus point! As we knew we were arriving after midnight, I had emailed ahead to ask about what food options would be available as we missed out on the first night dinner. We were offered either 15€ voucher each to use towards lunch in Fresh restaurant or a cold plate on arrival. We opted for the latter and a lovely plate of meat, cheese bread together with a selection of Greek desserts were delivered to our room on arrival. Delicious and very welcome after a long day travelling. This hotel is just stunning. It's wonderful location right by the sea is the perfect place to relax unwind and get away from it all. No sunbed wars or sunbeds at dawn, you could always get a bed by the pool, on the grass or on the beach at any time of the day. Lovely comfy padded sun loungers too, the best ones I have ever experienced! The food at this hotel is just delicious. The breakfast buffet is huge; with so much choice you would have to stay a month to get around all the different breakfast combinations you could have! We were half board and ate at the Emerald buffet most evenings. Again, there is so much choice and nothing to complain about, the quality of the food is excellent. We are not usually fans of a buffet style restaurant in the evening, but this is next level and exceeded all our expectations! In addition to the vast buffet choices, you can also order a main course from a choice of three each evening (Fish, Meat or Vegan) which comes freshly prepared and well presented. We enjoyed lovely cocktails in the Crystal lounge bar expertly made by the polite, knowledgeable mixologist, who certainly knew how to make a good Old Fashioned! Gorgeous views on the terrace over the bay to Faliraki, listening to the pianist, sipping cocktails, absolute bliss! And finally, the staff, every single beautiful one of them, are credit to this hotel! Always smiling, always helpful, always welcoming, always going above and beyond to make your stay perfect. I had such holiday blues leaving this hotel and already planning to return next year! Location wise there isn’t much around within walking distance, but the bus stop is right outside the hotel, and we found it efficient and reliable and very good value! €2.50 into Rhodes town and €1.50 to Faliraki. (Ensure you buy your ticket at the kiosk for your return trip from Rhodes town!) As I have already mentioned, the food is so good at this hotel you might not want to eat out, but I must make a mention of the most gorgeous beach restaurant about 5-

All the staff very friendly but Joanna and Antunl at the VIP reception desk at Elysium Hotel Rhodes gave excellent service. They were very helpful and friendly. My friend and I were always greeted with a smile no matter what time of day. Xx

An exceptional hotel with an extensive ‘deluxe’ beach on the crystal-clear, tranquil east coast of Rhodes. All restaurants offer a wide selection of delicious food, especially the rooftop restaurant Noble is a culinary highlight to remember. It was exceptional, congratulations. The staff are exquisite and impress with their professionalism and hospitality. Thanks a lot to Antonia, Joanna, Bruna and all the others of the team for these 10 days in beautiful Rhodes and in this beautiful hotel.

Elysium is simply amazing – beautiful location right on the beach, spotless rooms with stunning views, and a lovely pool area. Breakfast is fresh and delicious with plenty of choice. Staff are friendly and make everything easy. Can’t wait to come back!

The sea is so clean and nice to swim. The sunbeds are always available. A perfect holiday for a wheel Chair Person. They have special access to the sea. The whole staff is so friendly. And the food is exzellent. A lot of alternatives. (For lactose intolerants, veggies, vegans)

This was our 3rd visit to The Elysium and as before we had the most fantastic holiday. The hotel location is great with super local bus links. You always can get a lounger at the beautiful pool or Blue flag private beach. The rooms are very comfortable and kept beautifully clean and restocked by an exceptional housekeeping staff. We choose to stay in an Elite Club room wiith sea view, but on checking out we were fortunate enough to be given use of a beautiful land view room on the 4th floor I do not think you would be disappointed whichever room you choose. The staff throughout this hotel are exceptional from reception to housekeeping, restaurant, bars and beach staff and gardeners sorry if I've missed anyone. They simply want everyone to have the best time. Can I just say we are in our 60s able bodied but every day we witnessed the effort the beach staff went to help the guests who were wheelchair users access the sea and we thought this was truly was remarkable as in 80 degree heat this was not easy. You will not be disappointed if you choose this hotel.
