  We had a great time at The Olive Garden

  What a great holiday we had at this hotel. The staff are wonderful will do anything to make your stay memorable and fun but are also very professional. Felt safe with measures they have in place and it doesn't really interfere much with your holiday. The hotel, gardens, pools and room all very clean, would definitely recommend and just a mention that the water park is great fun even at our age , we got a taxi to and from the hotel to the Airport it was 75 euros but takes less than an hour takes two hours by bus we used Falimon & Manos Spanos Taxi drivers, two brothers great guys went above and beyond to help us their number is +306973094444 if you need them

  Solo traveler, had the best time

  I stayed here from the 7th-14th October. I had the most amazing time here and would highly recommend to stay at this hotel. I arrived at the hotel around 9.25pm the reception staff asked if I wanted some food so I ran down to the restaurant only to find it had closed but the lovely reception staff got me a few sandwiches and a bottle of water. I was so thankful after such a long journey. I found my room and oh my god, I was in owe. I had been given a big family room which was honestly so beautiful and very clean. I couldn't believe my luck. The hotel itself is quite big I wasn't expecting it, I has 3 pools. 1 main pool with 3 sun lounger beds (never in my life have I seen this before) with the main bar, 1 smaller chilled kids pool also with a bar but limited drinks (only served beer, wine and soft drinks. No cocktails) and a water park. The pools are cleaned down every morning. The hotel is a little bit remote from the main area but it's very easy to get around the bus runs every hour and very cheap (only takes cash no card). The reception has a bus time table at the desk which was super helpful. Rhodes cost 5.60 one way, Pefkos and Lindos only cost 1.80 one way. The main Lardos village is about a 15-20min walk away and very easy to get to. There is a near by pebble beach,I read the reviews before I came a lot of people said the local beach was a 20min walk away up and down a big hill but if you go around the back of the hotel near the smaller kids pool it's only a short 10min walk with no hills. The food wasn't the best I am going to be honest but for me personally there was always something to eat. There was 3 days out of my 7 day stay where I really enjoyed the food. The other days it was just OK. A lot of the hotel guests I spoke to did mention it wasn't nice it was served cold or luke warm or just refused to eat in the restaurant. I personally never had an issue with this but if you are a fussy eater this is something take to note on. The staff I cannot fault they were amazing and super friendly. Always said hello and would be happy to help you no matter what. I had the most amazing stay here, as a solo young woman traveller I felt very safe here and made lots of new friends. I never felt alone. A massive huge thank you to the Olive Garden Hotel and their staff I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. It was one of the best holidays I've had.

  Had a great time...but BUY WATER! Isolated but plenty of buses plus very peaceful and quiet for a nice, relaxing holida.

  I'm giving 5 stars due to COVID-19 situation and how they dealt with it. The staff were still very professional, patient, so friendly & helpful. If it wasn't for this I would have only given 4 stars due to the water situation. I drink A LOT of water at the best of times. It wasn't until after the hotel supermarket was closed that I asked reception for water and they said they didn't supply it. I had to go to the bar and get 4 cups of water to take back to my room which didn't even last me the whole night. I would have had an extremely uncomfortable night if I had discovered this after the bar had closed. The next day I got 6 x 1.5 litre bottles from the hotel supermarket for 2.50 which is very reasonable. They only lasted me just under 4 days. 80 cent for one single bottle so best buying 6. I loved the Aqua Park area. It was a lot quieter and you get more sun up there. The lazy river is an excellent addition to the hotel. A lovely way to just chill out catching rays. Bus stop about 1-2 minute walk and only 1.80 to Lindos and local areas. Quite regular too. About 5 to Rodos. Maids every 2 days. Greek salad is beautiful! Breakfast same every day. Lunch good variety and changes each day. Dinner a hit and miss. Kyriakos, Manos & Jerry are ABSOLUTE credits to the hotel as well as the hotel supermarket staff. Only 5 coat hangers plus no drawers apart from 2 bedside ones. Also be prepared for lots of mosquitoes...they were everywhere! All over my room so keep window and doors closed and keep an eye out for them. I got badly bitten and infected as well as someone else who had to get a doctor it was that bad. So be well prepared with repellents, bug cooling sprays and maybe a bug repellent plug for room.

  Could be much better

  We visited during covid when restrictions were lifted. First impressions were- it was a nightmare trying to get your cases up the ramp to reception, theyre very steep. Once in reception they couldnt seem to find our booking, so we were sat there for what seemed like hours at 11PM with two tired, hungry children. It was finally sorted and they gave us a sandwich and bottle of water each to take with us to our room. They were stale so the kids didnt eat them and there was no shop open on site or anywhere in the vicinity of the hotel. The room: our door was definitely broken and had to be slammed hard to close, there were no tea and coffee making facilities, we did ask and were told we werent allowed one due to covid? No bottles of water in the mini fridge. By morning, due to being on the ground floor with a dodgy door, our room was laced with ants all over everything! We informed reception and was told while were out they will spray insecticide. They did so but they just kept coming back. We also had a mosquito problem, not sure how they kept getting in through the night but they feasted on us. The food: not sure whether it was due to covid but there was very limited choice, for dinner there were about 2 main options of meat or fish and a few sides to choose from, the kids option was either pizza or pasta and sauce. We liked the salad/fruit bar. So for that reason, we went into Lindos most evenings to eat. Lunch, again we ate out most days, but it was same as the evening. Breakfast was the most enjoyable, we just got toast, eggs and fruit for the majority. Kids enjoyed the ice cream on tap. The buffet staff were always really friendly and smiley, a real credit to the hotel. Entertainment was okay was mainly just kids dancing to a set playlist. We went back to our room one night to get jackets as it was chilly, to discover two expensive jackets missing. Informed reception and got defensive and tried to blame us not shutting the door properly, which we always did. Only other people to enter, were cleaners and whoever sprayed the insecticide. The day after, one jacket was conveniently found early morning, around a pool we hadnt even been around, the other didnt turn up. Pools: mainly visited the slides and kids pool, the water in the kids pool is freezing so be prepared, even in 33 degree heat you feel the chill, it was warmer where the water slides are. We enjoyed the lazy river and going down the slides I think they saved our holiday in the hotel if Im honest. We visited the pool near the back of the hotel briefly, but it unfortunately didnt get much sun in the late afternoon so cut it short. Not far from Lardos beach, the water was lovely and warm, I would recommend beach shoes for Lardos beach as its very rocky. Pefkos beach was a short taxi ride away and the beach there was gorgeous, as is St. Pauls bay in Lindos. Very picturesque. It was a cheap last minute deal we booked, but we wont be returning to this hotel.
