Lydia Maris Resort & Spa

Fantastic place for whole family. Most important for me was food. I am vegetarian, but food selection for veggie people was amazing, every day different options, was impossible to try everything. For vegans a little bit harder but still possible. Huge selection for plant based milks, cereal, hot and raw vegetables, fresh and dry fruits also salads. Kitchen staff was doing excellent job, every dinner they served food from different country (Spanish, Italian, Greek etc). There is option to eat outside and this was awesome for me. A lot of space to sit and relax, no problems with sunbeds. Plenty options to drink with or without alcohol. Room service very good, cleaning every day. A/C for free, fridge and kettle in the room with coffee and tea selection. Staff just amazing, there was no problem with any requests, all of them smiling all the time and working very hard. There is gym on the side, also activities during the day and evening time provided by animation staff - very funny and positive people. Hotel has also spa on the side but this must be paid extra. If you don't need to go outside the hotel there is just plenty activities and food/drink options, impossible to get bored. If you like to go outside localisation is perfect, just in the center of Kolymbia with many shops, bars and restaurants. It was not my first stay in Kolymbia but so far Lydia Maris was the best hotel, I think they should change name for "The Paradise"

Water in the swimming pool was too cold for us, there was more pleasure to swim in the sea as water was much more warm there. Also AC just above the bed was a little bit annoying.

The hotel is good and the food is good. It is clean and well maintained. Very good value for the money, maybe one of the best in Rhodos. It in not a luxury 5* but nice and affordable. They offer free transfer to aeroport, this is very nice as well. Take care You will eat more than you need

This resort leaves nothing to be desired. It's already all-inclusive, but they go the extra mile to make sure there's always something for guests should they need it: drinks, snacks, a pizza bar, and so on. The food menus are always a little different so every meal is new. Even over 5 days I wasn't able to try everything the kitchen had to offer. It's close by the beach and port, so it's simple to go enjoy a cruise or a day on the sand. It's also not a far drive to Rhodes or Lindos, about a half hour each way. The staff was mostly very hospitable. We recommend a shared pool room if you like your privacy--the pool comes right to your room, and you only have a shared with a half-dozen other rooms. Overall, this resort is an unbeatable value, and it provided us an unforgettable vacation.

The staff was exceedingly kind, though we did have a bad moment during dinner over some confusing instructions about how to check in (the one small irk of the stay). More than once the sounds of late-night programming woke us up. However, we are early-to-bed kind of people.

The hotel is amazing with all shops and bars around! Easy to go to the other cities/waterpark with the bus. The food is good and you have almost the whole day the possibility to eat!! We will miss our late night snack with our friend. The waiter was really sweet and nice. All the staff were really sweet and kindly! It was our honeymoon and we had an amazing time. If we ever go back to Rhodes we will come back here!

Food (and drinks :) ) excelent and available through all day in all inclusive package - better than in number of other resorts we have stayed with. Great staf and facilities. Very good feeling - everything in the resorts was close.

Bit salty water (softdrinks too) if not bottled, which is a problem of this part of Rhodos, but not a big issue.
