Leonardo Kolymbia Resort

We were lucky enough to be the first guests in 2024. Treated like royalty with a wonderful greeting from the team but soon realised other guests got special treatment too! They opened especially for us to have a late lunch and we knew straightaway that we were in good hands. We visited with our young adult children and their partners and the holiday will live long in the memory. My daughter was 18 on the day we arrived and a cake was left in her room. Another lovely touch to go with the wine and fruit provided for us all. The town was barely open so we relied on the hotel but there was so much choice of food that it had limited impact. We also got to watch football in the evening thanks to George, who was brilliant all week on the bar and with great conversation and recommendations. My son and I even ventured to watch Diagoras Rodas after chatting about local football and watched a cracking game. It was good to walk to the beach and get a buggy too where we skimmed stones and enjoyed the glorious sunshine. We went out most days, whether via a bus or taxi, visiting Lindos, Rhodes and a fantastic local beach etc but tended to get back for a swim, table tennis and relax by the pool with a beer, where Sakis was superb. We loved the routine of eating together and there was a lot of choice each day. It all felt over too soon. Not sure we really had negatives. I'd have liked a craft-like ale to have been available and perhaps a change of the background music in the bar but with the ingenuity of the cocktails, perhaps I am being too fussy. The Greek government applying a tourist tax stung a bit too as we paid for 3 rooms but this would have been fine if it had been just the two of us. Overall, a big thank you for making perhaps our last family holiday such a special one.

A really lovely holiday in a very nice hotel. Only downside was our slightly dated ground floor room. It didn't affect our holiday nor bother us enough to complain. Sadly there was no daytime activities for part of holiday as Daniel (one man team) left but when it was on it was great. Evening entertainment shows were very good. Beautiful public areas, nice pool, friendly staff and good food, nice cocktails. Walk to beach is easy, kolymbia is a busy little place, shops right outside. Worth catching the bus and venturing out. Our first time in Rhodes won't be our last.
