Akti Imperial Deluxe Resort & Spa Dolce by Wyndham

We had one of the most delightful stays here during the October school break. As is normal with my reviews, here is some practical info and opinion that should help travellers. (some *photo attached). I have also attached a *location map of the hotel. Convenient location: From airport: ~15 minutes by taxi, 40-45 minutes by tour operated buses. To city centre and old town ~10 minutes by taxi. Taxi-stand right across the road, prices displayed. Day time ~12 Euros, 13-14 Euros at nighttime. There is a bus stop on the main road with *ticket machine (*1.80 Euros one way at the time). *Shops, restaurants, tour operators & water sports (would recommend using the water sports here rather than ones in town unless you want to spend 3 times the price) nearby. Don’t haggle too much, but you do get hotel guest concession at water sports. Reception and staff: All staff professional, courteous, extremely hard working and helpful. Reception can get busy and probably can improve with the speed of check in. Food and drinks: Main restaurant variety of foods, tasty, live kitchen, Tasty food. Vegan options +. It got very busy one evening and there was a wait for about 10 minutes for us, but some waited longer. This kind of rush is not unique to this hotel. Multiple bars with nearly 18 hours of snacks and flow of a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Main restaurant open 24 hours a day, with some basic but filling menu late night/early morning. Other *opening times-see photo. Entertainment team: Fabulous team that kept kids and adults totally engaged. Hats off to their hard work. Day time- for all, evenings for kids and families, later evening/ night- for adults. Outdoor podium. We loved this as, this did not feel crammed as can happen in indoor auditorium. Multiple activities during the day. Rooms: Clean, well maintained, usual amenities present. We took front sea view and enjoyed the stunning skyline and stunning *sunsets. Fridge gets topped up daily- wine, beer, soft drinks, water, juice!! (certainly, did for all inclusive.) We never used beer/wine as we enjoyed them at the main bar. Multiple floors, but dedicated lifts for 2-3 floors each. This avoids them being busy. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, enough sun beds (including hotel owned ones on the beach). They don’t have a staff tips jar and would highly recommend that the management instals one. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable. Would I go back? A big yes!

Ok hotel if the dreaded bug wasn’t going around and apparently had been for a few years, seems they cannot get rid of it! We were all ill either whilst on holiday or straight after we had come back home, heard so many people violently throwing up in their rooms too. Food was mediocre plus it was hard to get a table for the 7 of us together, night time entertainment was diabolical!! Then being served paper cups wasn’t the best either! I love Rhodes but will not be going back to this hotel, just a few changes and it could be a really nice hotel! It’s such a pity

Dejligt sted Dejligt sted med ekstremt flinkt og smilende personale der får en til at føle sig værdsat - grækerne er et smilende folkefærd - fantastisk atmosfære - lækkert varieret mad i buffeten og i deres temarestauranter… Muligheden for drinks, kage/kaffe mm. i de forskellige områder om eftermiddagen / aften indenfor samt udenfor ved pool områderne er super dejligt. Man behøver slet ikke komme ud fra resortet under en uges ophold, selvom Rhodos by er en oplevelse - det tager 5-7 min i taxa. 5 stjerner er hotellet ikke, det vil kræve lidt mere eksklusivitet men 4 stjerner + er berettiget og ligger bestemt i den gode ende. Der mangler desværre flere liggestole ved poolområdet så man skal op før kl. 7.00 hvis man skal reservere en i skyggen. Dette bør de løse internt ved at ingen kommer i området før der åbnes kl. 10.00. Men helt sikkert et hotel vi godt ville besøge igen . Hilsen Familen Olesen - Danmark .
