Fab holiday!
We had a fab holiday at Princess Sun. The staff were really friendly, especially the entertainment reps. The food is always something I worry about when going abroad as I am vegetarian so I’m often stuck with chips and rice, however there were plenty of options for me and was probably some of the better all inclusive food I’ve had. The drink selection was good. The room was nice and spacious with a lovely sea view. The cleaners came daily to change bedding and towels which was nice. The private beach is nice and shuttles run every half an hour, unfortunately the beach is pebble rather than sand. Although there are water sports available - we hired Jetskis. The spa was nice, me and my friend had a massage, we also used the gym and the sauna - nice and clean. Our only small complaint is the location - it’s about 1hr 40 on a coach to Rhodes Old Town, there’s not much going on round the hotel. We found a nice restaurant called Lythos and a nice bar called Mosa but other than that, we were struggling for things to do in the evening. The hotel is also located at the top of a hill so you get lovely mountain view’s from the hotel, however prepare for the steep walk in the heat! Overall a great experience, and would recommend :)
Fantastic week thank you!
Spotlessly clean hotel with a wonderful staff team which made it home from home. A special thank you to the following staff in particular who are assets of this hotel….. Nikos who talked me through what I could eat that was gluten free every evening that he was on shift. Lovely kind caring man who understood my dietary situation. The Pancake Lady who went above and beyond making my morning pancakes, always cheery and love her designs for the regular pancakes!! Antonios who drives the shuttle bus up and down the beach always cheery and great fun! Fab music too!!! Pool bar pizza man (from Philipines?) who was just so lovely. Most of the hotel staff were warm, friendly and helpful. We loved our stay here…. The beach was gorgeous, our sea view room lovely with a sun rise view. We cannot fault this hotel, we had a great week. My only suggestion would be to clearly label allergens in food. For those of us who need to be careful I think it would be safer, even though Nikos was so helpful, it made me feel guilty taking up his time every night. A big thank you to him. Also be aware this location is quite far away from everything but we enjoyed that! Lovely and peaceful. The food was delicious in the hotel. I recommend the boat trip to Lindos that leaves from nearby beach for a day out. No need to book just turn up! We found it easy walking up and down the hill from hotel to beach at cooler times although the hill is steep. The watersports at beach were great! Sea beautiful and fantastic vibe at the beach club, great music, gorgeous sparrows and we could always get a sunbed (with cushions!) and table for lunch. The shuttle bus service is so reliable. We found the beach really relaxing and went most days. We enjoyed the jaccuzzi on our last day as well! Thank you Princess Sun for a special week.
Review by Navigator09583143945 Christchurch, United Kingdom
Good but sadly we won't return due to evening venue.
We had a good holiday but sadly wouldn't return .
Things we didn't like:-
Having to pay for drinks in the al a carte restaurant.
Bar man at Pool Bar rude and very unfriendly . Short man with beard.Other guests said the same. Reviews also state the same . Why something hasn't been done to vectify this already i'm baffled .He lets your whole Hotel Team down badly.
Bland and very boringly furnished main bar .No atmosphere at all. Feels more like a modern office building canteen.
Pool bar in in the evenings, still only provide plastic cups . Awful having to drink out of a beaker. Wine etc
Freezing cold pools.
Entertainment area is a real let down . Has no bar and no tables .Reminded us of a school assembly set up a bad one at that .
Too many nights offering same entertainment . In house entertainment team doing dancing shows , most evenings.No variety at all .
Red wine was undrinkable . And a few others esp the pre mixed cocktails.
Orange Juice more like squash.
Things we did like:-
Views from pool and main restaurant.
Cleanliness of rooms and the whole hotel and grounds.
Being able to book an hr free slot in the Jacuzzi .Private use.
Maintenance team was fast and efficient.
Free room safe. Wifi also good.
Aircon free and worked well.
Shuttle to beach . Only wished it stopped at shop area too .
Beach bar was great being AI and the free sunbeds on the beach were much appreciated.
Food in general was ok ( make use of the microwave, everthing was luke warm so already cold before you were half way through eating it )
Pool area very relaxing. And no rushing for sunbeds.
Hotel shop opened till late every evening .That made a nice change.
Easy car hire next to reception.
Express coach to Rhodes Old Town booked at reception it's Travel rep Tim was great.
Rooms and bathrooms were nice .
Quiet hotel could not hear other guests from our room .
Entertainment team worked hard .But need more singers.
What we thought was Outstandingly good.
The main restaurant staff at this hotel were the best we have ever encountered. Service with a smile.They all went the extra mile and was very efficient . The dining experience here for 11 mights was fantastic .Calm and relaxing every single time . Loved eating in the outside restaurant area .
On the whole we had a good holiday But sadly the evening entertainment options both entertainment and venu let it down too much for us to return . We do not want to be in our rooms by 9.30 pm while on holiday for lack of anywhere decent to sit . We saw many guests taking drinks to the room by 9pm .The Hotel is a little isolated so nowhere else to walk to in the evenings .
1 School assembly type hall with dancing show most evenings. 2 Pool bar with terrible music and drinking beakers . Day time music was actually better. 3 Very clinical feel quiet Hotel Reception Bar many guests playing cards as nothing else to do.
Over generous reviews
I think a lot of the previous reviews have been over generous. This is a well presented 4 star with no additional perks.
Pros The actual property - well maintained across the hotel, it’s clean & modern, everything’s really well taken care. Rooms - a good standard and housekeeping were great. Pool - 3 options and good views. Basic food offering buffet style. Location - we were happy walk to and from the beach, takes 20 minutes max but if you wanted the bus runs every half an hour and takes five minutes. Beach bar - is from 10 am until the evening serves breakfast soft drinks, beer, and wine. Unfortunately, no spirits are cocktails here. No service to your sunbeds. Gyros - the beach bar serves gyros & pizza for lunch and all the salads. Gyros was delicious 10/10.
Cons - Pool bar drinks are a bit rubbish. Cocktails are served from a pre-mix, not even any mint in the mojito. Plastic cups. Water - is out of a Draught rather than bottled. I personally didn’t like the taste so bought bottled at the shop. Drinks - Selection and quality could be improved. Only 1 à la carte restaurant - our visit was cancelled due to weather and we weren’t offered an alternative. Buffet restaurant - standard four star offering. Nothing is served particularly hot and when things run out they serve alternatives rather than what was an offer in the first place. Evening entertainment/ atmosphere - we would have a drink in the evening in the lobby bar this is the only place you could get a drink served in a glass but the atmosphere was lacking. The lights are bright and there was no lounge singer or any entertainment at the bar. 75% + play board games or cards to entertain themselves!!
Massage
The place was beautiful and well cleaned throughout my stay , the food was amazing and I had a massage from the amazing sammy too ,that was amazing the best massage iv ever had .
