Dessole Olympos Beach Hotel
Faliraki, Rhodes

The whole experience from the moment we arrived until we left was amazing. All the staff, the animation team, the food, just everything was fabulous. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated but were so clean and lots of space (we had a sea view room on the 2nd floor). Worth paying that little bit more for the sea view rooms! The animation team were brilliant, so much choice to activities and they were all so professional and very hard working. There was a mixture of Eastern Europeans, Germans, French and a few British. All the children were so well behaved! Definitely a family hotel. The entertainment in the hotel finished around 11pm.

Most staff were very friendly. The only problem was the bathroom needed upgrading, the bath was avocado green but had been painted white and was peeling, so every time you had a shower the plug hole would fill up with the peelings.

We went there for the first week of October. We got pretty bad state room first but we reported it at reception and it was changed next day. The hotel has own beach which is a big plus and if you are lucky you may have a room with lovely sea view. Rooms are quite clean and location is good close to the waterpark, shopping centre and just 2 miles from Faliraki. The staff especially at the beach bar and restaurant were very moody and not friendly, apart from Kiriakos and main bar barmen.

The food is very basic and as we went a week before the hotel was closing there was less and less choice every day. Having said that you could actually feel the hotel is closing down every day. Really bad experience! The animation team was only 3 people, very friendly but shows apart from one were very boring. There was a staff leaving party 4 days before close down which left most of the guest sitting outside and have nothing to do. Also the beach and pool bar were closing earlier and 3 days before hotel closed down you could use only the main hotel bar. The sun beds were slowly disappearing as well. This all made us feel really uncomfortable and we think it's very bad way to treat your guest as they have still paid for the holiday but can't enjoy it any more (staff party and clean up - well do it after the hotel is closed). We have been before in Rhodes, same time in different hotels, but never this place. My advice I would not go there close to end of season.

Lovely hotel and staff just shame about the poor quality of food. Room was great, comfy beds beautiful view! Safe was easy to use and if you forgot code staff were very prompt to assist you. A lot of children at resort even though was school holiday too many in my opinion, lots of couples but few English if any!

Stayed for 1 week in June. The hotel was very clean, the food was very good, the rooms also very good. We booked a room on the top floor with brilliant sea views. Also the many staff there work very hard to look after all the guests. The beach and pool area were also very good. What a nice touch that the hotel supplied towels for the sun loungers. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again. Well worth the money. A big thank you also to sunshine holidays for dealing with our reservation.
