Afandou Beach

Let me start with this hotel. Its basic not over all cleanliness is present its just a quick flick over! The reception staff at times seamed fake friendly unless you were handing over money we were advised to go back at various times to extend the room for late check out and kept being told come back another day or time only to be told no rooms available! The hotel is near nothing apart from the hotel behind then a very pebbly beach no shops bars etc on the seafront so if you want to see the island at all you need a car reception can sort that for you 2 days before prior notice only. If you want a holiday were you don't want to leave the complex and just chill for the week then this is the hotel because the pools nice plenty of sunbeds no fighting or towel marking, lots of foreigner's not many English mainly German and Russian. Food is OK nothing special buffet style. Overall its a 3 star hotel but there are nicer 3 star hotels on the island so you decide!

We were in the hotel with a group of friends. Great, quiet, clean place to stay. Good food and room in general. I would especially like to mention the staff of the bar. Anna and Daria are very friendly, polite and make delicious cocktails. They also recommended places for us to visit, we were very satisfied. Definitely recommend to stay!

Thanks very much to Mr Tasha’s Manager of the hotel and all the staff for a warm welcome. the food at the hotel is simple, not a very large selection, but you definitely won’t stay hungry. A large green area was very pleased, as well as an excellent selection of cocktails at the bar. The rooms are old, but for those who came to enjoy the country and not sit in the room is a great option. The hotel also has Deluxe rooms, for those who love modern renovation) Our vacation in 2023 was a success)

Excellent hotel we visited for a 3rd time, located at walking distance from beautiful mostly sandy beach with pebbles (5-minute walk). Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice and clean rooms with A/C. Every day we had a great variety of food you could choose from. We appreciated 2 pools and a pool bar with all-inclusive offering we enjoyed. We had a great vacation here, and plan to return also next year.

We have just returned from a fantastic 10 night stay at the Afandou beach hotel. It’s a typically Greek hotel with a friendly, traditional feel. From the moment we arrived (at 3:30 am) to the moment we left, the staff were so accommodating and friendly. Special mention to the lovely reception lady. We loved the pool and the bar staff and life guard were very friendly. There was a wide range of choice for food served at each meal in a large air conditioned restaurant. As it’s a 3 star hotel, the facilities in the room reflects this but it’s worth the money. There is a large reception area with plenty of seating inside and out. There was always enough sun beds and the gardens and grounds were beautiful. It’s conveniently located near the beach which is beautiful and not too over touristy which we like. The bus stop at the end of the road allows you to visit other areas (Rhodes town is beautiful) and we recommend the water park in Falaraki. There’s also a little train that runs regularly from the hotel, for 4 euros (2 for children) so you can explore Afandou. We also loved the fact that there were not many other British people here so we could switch off and enjoy eachothers company. We met lots of friendly families from mainly Poland, Czech Republic and Germany. There was also a very fun Greek night with great food and dancing on the Sunday eve. My only little ******* were that the local supermarket is a fair distance away but there is a small shop on site. Also the beds were a little firm for our liking and the wifi was fairly non existent (but we used our phones to hotspot from instead) All in all, this was a great holiday for us and exactly what we needed which was a quiet get away. It’s good value for money at the price we paid. We thoroughly recommend to other families.

I have just returned from a last-minute week holiday at this hotel. It is definitely not a three-star hotel and have had a disappointing week away. I will start with the good points of the hotel and work from there. • The hotel is set in lush green, lovely surroundings, which include lots of grass and very green trees, which give cover to the sound of summer (if you know, you know). There was a good amount of sunbeds and umbrellas around the pool. also plenty of shaded areas not far from the pool. • The hotel is conveniently located very close to the bus stop which goes both ways to Rhodes and Lindos, which are both lovely places to visit. • It is also close to a very long stretch of pebbly beach which is both safe/clean beach with some areas that have paid for sunbeds and umbrellas. • The fridge in the room (which also had a small freezer) was a welcomed addition to keep bottles of water and ice cubes to help stay hydrated during the Cerberus heatwave. • The day-time reception staff had the nicest smile which was welcoming on arrival. Now to the mediocre parts of the holiday. • While the food was edible but, there was not much variety and was catered more for an eastern Europe palate, and the flies were plentiful. I would however like to give a big shout out to the pancake lady, your pancakes are fresh and amazing! Equally, food is only allowed in the restaurant and a member of staff is on the door stopping people from leaving as they are eating apples or similar. This is a ridiculous rule, which puts staff under a lot of pressure. • Disappointingly, we were only allowed to have 1 key for the room, which is apparently company policy, this often made it difficult to do things independently and be able to get into the room at the end of it. Personally, I think this is to stop the key being used to keep both the air conditioning and the electric on whilst not in the room. • To mention electric, there is only one usable plug in the room and that was no where near the bed. To make more plug space the T.V had to be unplugged. This is not great in an age when most people have several electrical items to charge. • The accommodation was small and dated. The bed was only about 5’10” so if you were taller than this your feet would hang over the end. Luckily we did not have the need to use the pull-out sofa bed, which was uncomfortable to sit on, so would imagine it would be terrible to sleep on. • There was only one glass for use in the bathroom. There was no other in the room and so had to drink out of bottles, until we took plastic cups from the bar area. This is the part that I am disappointed to be writing. • The house keeping was diabolical as you can see from the photos the bathroom was disgustingly dirty. The second pillows which were kept in the wardrobe did not have cases on and at no point during the week were cases for these given. The bin was emptied only twice during the week and once a clean top sheet was given. • The bath was very smal

If you enjoy activities on holiday, this is the place to come. The only problem is you cannot do everything! Need to plan your day. The Levante fitness staff work you hard and are very professional. The Neilson beach staff appeared tired after a long season and did not create the buzz you would have expected when undertaking activities at the beach. This was not just my experience other guests commented on this. Plenty of cycling options for all abilities. The food was good and a wide choice of food is available. The choice of pools is a big plus and it never felt crowded. Overall loved it as your around like minded people.
