Afandou Blu

Firstly, you need a car. It’s 40 minutes walk to the nearest village. The hotel is ok. Clean enough and comfy beds. Food is repetitive. Pasta with 2 sauces, chips, chicken, fish. None of it particularly appetising. Often reappearing the next day as something else. Breakfast was tinned fruit, cereal, bread. Cooked breakfast again seemed unappetising. The nearest beach was stony but nothing there. It was strange. No shops or tavernas. Like it needed a bit of developing. Rhodes town was horrendous. No parking. Crowded. Lindos was similar. Favourite place was pefkos. More like what you imagine Greece to be. Not my favourite place. Don’t think I would go back to Rhodes. Looked in general a bit scruffy. Lots of litter, cats everywhere.

We arrived early hours of the morning, asked if we could get some bottled water and the guy on reception said use the taps, no chance! In the morning we checked in and had breakfast, breakfast is ok, however the meals at lunch and evening are disgusting, very disappointing the same everyday no variety, they only cater for the Greek. The pool area was nice but filthy there was fungal all around the poolside and wasps everywhere. The rooms were ok, basic and the bathrooms needed updating. My daughter’s room flooded 3 times after a shower which we complained about. The hotel was basic, the reception area TV did not work and the seating area was filthy. On our last day we did not fly till midnight and we asked to keep a room on which we were promised the day before, however when it came to the day they said they didn’t have any spare rooms and we would have to use the shower room downstairs, which was not fit for purpose. We ended up eating out everyday because the food was horrendous. The local area is very run down, it looks like a scene from a war zone. I would never return to this place, the taxis are expensive and they con the English over pricing. Avoid, avoid, avoid!
