Hotel Lydia Maris - Rhodes

[hillbilly]

Has anyone been here? It looks fab on their website but you never know.

Reviews on tripadvisor

Im not familiar with the hotel BUT I lived in Rhodes for 5yrs so if you want any info about the island etc ..happy to help

Thanks to both of you. Stilla yes please, do you know of a child friendly(kids club included) resort on Rhodes?

Hillbilly - what are you looking for from a resort ?
The bigger complexes are down south - so if you wanted to leave there isnt really that much in the surrounding areas to walk to ,iykwim.Lindos,Pefkos and Lardos Village would all be a taxi ride .I would def hire a car for atleast a few days to get out and about a bit .

Moving further north there's Faliraki which has a great waterpark (big pool with pirate boat/slides etc for little people)Just along by the waterpark are some nice hotels Esperides seems a popular family unit.Think that area comes under Kalithea rather than Faliraki. You are near enough to Faliraki but also far enough away !

Then there's the north -Rhodes Town ,Ixia, Trianda etc . More built up especially Rhodes Toown which is the islands capital. Beaches arn't as nice as the east coast .

Hi Stilla,

Thanks for your post. Sorry got caught up with life and did not check MN for a week!

Looking for villa in nice area and on coast. Quiet but not too quiiet. Good restaurants. Child friendly.

Not much to ask eh?!

huge hijack - but stilla I too lived on Rhodes although it was 17 years ago since I moved there and 13 years ago that I moved back.

I lived about 10 miles south of Lardos, where were you.

I lived in Lardos village for a little while- but Trianda was "home"

I didn't venture north very often! used to go with a friend who had friends in lardos, nice place.

LOL-That island has a huge North-South divide!

Well more of a -if you settle there you are either very much a North person, a South person (or Faliraki!)

Lardos grew on me - and I really enjoyed the nightlife in Lindos oooh and the beach parties. 10 miles sth of Lardos?? Where would that be ?beyond Kiotari?was Kiotari there then?lol

I did prefer the North though-think that's alot to do with where you 'settle' when you first arrive.(and being a bit of a 'city' girl)

ooh sorry Hillbilly just seen your post - Villas [hmmm].........think you are looking south then .
I will have a look n get back to you .

I think most do seem to be in the south - lots restaurants in Lindos ,Pefkos and Lardos has a few nice ones.

As long as you have transport nothing is too far away -its not a huge island.

another hijack apology hillbilly - but at least we are bumping your thread

twas gennadi!

Kiotari wasn't a resort like it is now back then. There was only a handful of hotels and restaurants. Rodos maris and princess were built whilst I was there.

Thanks Stilla for that. And Furball - no probs!
