Atlantica Imperial Resort - Adults Only

Stayed in the fabulous hotel with a couple of our friends for 1 week we stayed in a premium sea view room with balcony . Outstanding views and very clean and comfy room could not find any faults at all . I did email the hotel before we went to ask if our friends who were in the same type of room as us could be next to us as we booked separately . They replied straight away and we were next door to them . We were all inclusive and we didn’t bother with the a la carte restaurant as the food and service in the buffet restaurant was fantastic loads of choice and hot . Saw some reviews about not enough food and having to get there at 6.30 to get table etc ignore this we went about 7.30 each night sat outside on the terrace and saw the waiters replacing food trays that were running low so no issues The staff were amazing very friendly so helpful too many to name . We were with Tui but we sorted out our own trips went to Symi booked through Get Your Guide App on a speed boat straight there and back about 4 hours later . We took a taxi to Lindos best time to go is 9 as gets very busy and returned 3 hours later with same taxi firm . About 5 mins from the hotel is a small harbour . There we hired a boat for the 4 of us for 4 hours they showed us how to drive it and it was so easy and had an amazing time would recommend . Suggest you download the hotels own app shows you everything you need to know .

Serene atmosphere, clean room, delicious buffets and welcoming staff. We were able to pick up towels from the spa area to use at the pool and swap for fresh ones every 2 days. Dinner options were almost entirely different each night and efficiently organised. Shout out to Thanassis for making us smile on the way to dinner every evening, also to Laura and Kiki because they made the breakfast experience at the Blue Bay restaurant very enjoyable, and to Elia for his hard work and warm character. Great team, great service. The hotel is within walking distance to Kolympia beach, and Kolympia rock (which is worth a climb). There are small shops nearby to pick up snacks and souvenirs, and a regular local bus service to Rhodes centre and closer towns like Lindos.

schöne Auszeit Wir waren vom 2 bis 9 Juli zu Gast. Eine sehr schöne und gepflegte Hotelanlage. Sehr freundliches Personal, vom Front Desk bis zum Zimmermädchen. Was wir positiv hervorheben können das Essen. Ein sehr grosses und reichhaltiges Frühstück, sowie Mittagessen. Als Top können wir aber das hauseigene Restaurant Ginger und Mylos, welche nicht nur durch ihre Optik punkten, sondern auch mit der Qualität des Foods. Die Gastfreundlichkeit ist wirklich grossartig—Ein grosses Dankeschön und Kompliment dafür!!! Was uns aber überhaupt nicht gefallen hat und wir auch absolut nicht verstehen können, dass ein 5* Hotel dies zulässt bzw. nicht reagiert, ist dass es Gäste gibt, die vor dem Frühstück Liegen mit dem Badetuch besetzten, sodass, man als normaler Gast um 10 Uhr morgens keine Chance hat irgendwo eine Liege zu bekommen. Dies sollte man unbedingt in den Griff bekommen. Um unsere Ruhe zu haben, mussten wir extra Cabanas hinzumieten und dies ist mit Mehrkosten verbunden. Desweitern konnten die Cabanas auch von nicht inhouse Gästen reserviert werden (ist uns zwei Mal aufgefallen) und dies noch mit Kindern, obwohl ja das Hotel gross mit « Adults Only « auf sich aufmerksam macht.

We stayed at the Atlantica imperial for 7 nights as a couple and half board. Like many reviews we found interactions with staff to be hit or miss. On many occasions they were wonderful and went above and beyond with a smile on their face. However some staff came across as rude and unhelpful. For example, we requested two frozen strawberry daiquiris but were provided with two normal strawberry daiquiris. If we were all inclusive this wouldn’t have bothered us and we would happily of drank them. However, when you are paying €26 for two drinks, we would expect them to be the drinks we ordered. No problem though, I took the drinks back to the bar and mentioned that we wanted frozen ones. The staff said that the machine is broken? We asked if it was possible for us to go upstairs to the bar and get them there instead but apparently ‘the whole system is down’. This made little sense to me as a blender doesn’t operate on a system but okay no problem we’ll get something else. I asked to have the previous bill taken off our tab as we didn’t want or drink the two drinks and wanted something else instead. The staff then had to call a manager over and after a 10 minute wait they finally said that yes they would let us not pay for the drinks we didn’t order or want….. My second issue with the hotel is the incredible amount of upsells which aren’t clear when booking. Lovely pictures of the beds by the pool are provided in the hotel page on tui however these cost a whopping €50-€90 per day! But you do get a free bowl of fruit…. Our room was spacious and very clean however it was situated next to one of the staffs rooms. This came with the added noise at around 7am each morning of the staff having their meeting, talking loudly and banging. Which inevitably woke us up each morning, although I’m sure this can easily be rectified with speaking to them about this. My final note would be on the food, again to echo previous reviews despite each night being a different theme it does feel a lot like ‘same food different sauce’. That said the food was some of the best I’ve had at a buffet and the kitchen staff do an excellent job of ensuring they don’t run out of any particular item. Overall we did enjoy our stay, the setting is lovely, the beach is beautiful and the hotel is a great place. However, in our opinion due to the above it does fall short of a 5 star hotel, hence the 4 star rating.

Nous venons de séjourner 2 semaines à l’Atlantica Imperial et nous en revenons mitiger ! Nous avions choisi cet hôtel sur base de nos souhaits et des commentaires élogieux recueillis sur TripAdvisor. Nous accordons beaucoup d’importance à la qualité des repas et c’est là, principalement, que nous avons été déçus. Les points généraux : 95% de la clientèle est anglaise, le personnel de service est généralement étranger (en non grec) et parle exclusivement anglais. Plage de gravier et de cailloux. Des chaussures adéquates sont nécessaires pour se baigner et entrer dans l’eau. Les points positifs : - Bel hôtel avec une belle vue sur une baie et sur la montagne ; à proximité du centre de Kolymbia. - Personnel intentionné, serviable. - Shuttle prévu au départ de l’hôtel vers la vielle ville de Rhodes (en journée ou en soirée) et Lindos (en soirée) pour un prix légèrement supérieur au prix en transport en commun. - Frigo de la chambre réapprovisionné tous les jours. Chambre bien équipée : frigo, nécessaire à thé, cafetière Nespresso avec capsules, planche et fer à repasser, coffre-fort. Les points négatifs : - Lors de notre arrivée, nous avons reçu très peu d’information sur l’hôtel en général (pas d’indication sur les heures d’ouverture du restaurant principal, pas d’indication sur les heures d’utilisation de la piscine, …) et aucune indication dans la chambre. C’est en parcourant l’hôtel que vous découvrez une partie de ceux-ci. - Nous avions réservé notre séjour en All-In et, malgré notre bracelet identifiant notre type de pension, à chaque commande (aux différents bars, à la piscine, …) nous devions donner notre numéro de chambre et signer un bordereau, tantôt papier (au bar de la piscine), tantôt de manière électronique sur une tablette. Idem lors de chaque repas, vous deviez donner votre numéro de chambre. Laborieux ! - Les plats présentés au buffet sont redondants tant à midi qu’au soir avec peu de choix. Très peu de viande et de poisson grillés. Les plats sont principalement présentés en sauce. - Il y a pas mal de vent ce qui fait que la température de l’eau de la piscine est assez fraiche. - Le bain à remous en plein air ne fonctionne pas ! Il fonctionne en circuit fermé avec la piscine. L’eau est donc à la même température que celle de la piscine et les « remous » sont inexistants. - Chambre Premium rénovée mais avec une douche à l’italienne assez petite (trop petite : 90 x 95 cm). - Peu de rangement dans la chambre : un seul tiroir en tout et pour tout ; les tables de nuits sont, en fait, des tabourets ; 2 garde-robes avec 5 cintres chacune. Un peu chiche pour le niveau de cet hôtel. - La salle de bain est ouverte sur la chambre, si vous devez éclairer celle-ci pendant la nuit, vous éclairez également une partie de la chambre. - L’hôtel dispose de 3 restaurants « à la carte ». Lors de votre séjour, vous pouvez réserver un seul de ces restaurants pour un seul repas. Un menu avec choix est proposé. Mais les plats les plus intéressants (poiss

Overall, this hotel offers a solid stay with clean, well-maintained grounds, comfortable rooms and a good location. But while it ticks many boxes, it falls short of being exceptional. This was my second visit, but you wouldn’t have known. Not even a “welcome back” on check-in. Check-in was brief which is acceptable, especially late at night, but could have been supported with a leaflet in the room. Hotel App seems to have been developed many years ago without updates since so is fairly clunky. During our stay we were celebrating 2 special occasions. We had emailed twice beforehand but this was sadly ignored. When we were there, we realised why as they can certainly recognise occasions for a fee. Sadly, even for a fee, they did not write the correct name on the celebration card. Staff service is inconsistent. Some go out of their way to be warm and attentive, while others (particularly at the pool bar and reception) can come across borderline rude, as echoed in other reviews on here. At breakfast, the host does an excellent job greeting guests and managing flow. Sadly this is let down by the waiting staff who have a tendency to clear plates and drinks the moment you’re up at the buffet or return with your ordered coffee once you’ve finished eating. Coffee, once it does arrive, is disappointing - some of the options taste like instant coffee. A self-serve espresso machine could be a welcome upgrade and may take pressure off waiting staff. The hotel skews toward an older demographic, but younger couples (like us) still make up a decent share. Unfortunately, the hotel feels stuck in the past. The pool lacks atmosphere and day-time entertainment consists of aqua aerobics. The addition of a DJ with chill house vibes by the pool would modernise and add much needed atmosphere without ostracising the older generation. The residences section across the road is like a ghost town and after 1 drink you feel like your time is up. Without innovation, it risks losing future guests to newer, more modern alternatives that are opening up on the island like Cooks Club. I’d happily recommend this hotel to my retired parents, but not to my friends. Buffet food is abundant, but underwhelming. There’s certainly plenty of choice, but not much standout quality. Vegetarian options are well catered for. Buffet “themes” barely differ night-to-night and only vaguely reflect the cuisine theme. The same food in a different sauce seems more of a true reflection. Desserts feel mass-produced, defrosted and rather forgettable. This is such a shame as the a la carte restaurants are exceptional! The food and service in Ginger was amazing, and is quite sad that they clearly can provide excellent food if they want to. There also seems to be a two-tier system. We were half board, and cocktails were made properly. All-inclusive guests, however, would receive a lower-quality alcohol substitute for the same drink (e.g. non-aperol aperol spritz). Something worth noting if you are we
