Just arrived back from the Rodos Palladium (Didnot want to come back). This hotel is all round A Class. We arrived early in the morning to be promptly booked in and shown to our Room with no problems at all. The next morning to open our curtains and see the fantastic view was breathtaking, sun, sea and over-looking the pool. The room was beautifully decorated to a high standard and had a nice balcony. Breakfast was abundant in choice and coffee flows freely for as long as you wish (Michaele who served us coffee was a lovely chap and very sociable.)Evening meal was either chosen from a menu or you could help yourself to another vast array of choice. All in all the food choice and presentation was fantastic. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Our waitress at night Simona was a lovely girl whom we chatted with and got to know quite well during our 2 week stay. I would recommend that you visit Rhodes Town during your stay at the Hotel it is well worth a visit or two and the town by night is wonderful. We walked from the Hotel to Falaraki one night but unless you are 18 and want to go out and get absolutely plastered then don't go there!!(nice during the day when all is quiet.Would go back to this hotel tomorrow and recommend to anyone looking for an excellent location and friendly people. Hope to to back very soon. John and Karen Stoke on Trent

Just arrived back from a weeks stay at the Rodos Palladium! It is fantastic!! Did not want to come home! The room was lovely and big - didnt have a sea view but this didnt matter as we hardly spent any time in the room anyway!! We are fussy eaters so were apprehensive about the half board option but the food was great - a choice of three different main dishes every night and the hot/cold buffet which had everything you needed!! The staff were fantastic and friendly without being too "in your face"! I just couldnt fault anyone there - they were lovely! The pool was fantastic - never had a problem finding a sun bed and they supplied towels as well so did not have to worry about taking one. It was a bit windy but it was so hot - this was appreciated! Outside the hotel there are bus stops which you can go to Rhodes Town for 2 Euros or Faliraki for 1 Euro if you fancied venturing out of the hotel. We did, but you could easily stay in the hotel for the entire time as they provide entertainment for everyone including a nightly mini disco for the kids if you have them. I would not hesistate to recommend this hotel to anyone - I would love to go back there - would be a perfect venue for a wedding!! I could not fault the hotel or the staff or facilities at all!!

My Mum (60s) and I (30s) stayed here and overall had a nice holiday. Hotel positives: - lovely pool area with plentiful, good quality wooden loungers and attractive umbrellas - NOTE it's not seawater - fun animation team esp for daytime activities to get you off your sun lounger - location on bus route to Rhodes Town & close to airport - large room, loads of storage, posh bathroom - attentive staff - great spa Hotel negatives: - amateurish & unbelievably loud evening entertainment til past 11.00pm every night - some disappointing waiter served main course dinners - fairly prices drinks at all bars - London prices - beach is pebbly with dark sand - very hard to walk on with bare feet Recommendations: - have pizza at the Calypso lunch restaurant - swap dinner for lunch and take the bus to Rhodes Town for the evening - request a quiet room and if you can see the outdoor stage and don't want to hear the evening entertainment, ask to move - I wish we had! - have the chocolate therapy body wrap in the spa - stay out of the sun between 11 & 3 to avoid burning

On arrival to the Rodos Palladium, the reception staff were very helpfull and informative about mealtimes, meal time options and facilities available etc. A bellboy took our cases to our room and we followed. The decor was very palatial, if a little impersonal. Lots of marble flooring and huge marble pillars. Our room was a superior guest room overlooking the sea. Although it was lovely and very comfortable, I feel that the optional extra of bathrobes, fruit and wine should be standard in a 5 star hotel, we paid extra for this. View over the Med was amazing and probably one of the best views a hotel could offer. The bathroom was nice, with toilet, shower in the bath and bidet. Nice large mirrors and lots of marble. Toiletries plentiful and restocked daily. Fridge in room not very cold but adequate for drinks. I would not store perishable foodstuffs in there. Free safe deposit box. Air Con free but not very cold although we were in the middle of a heatwave when we visited and so had little impact anyway. Shop was on basement floor and well stocked with beachwear, hats, gifts and newspapers, along with the usual drinks, food, wine etc. Bit pricey but Rhodes overall can be a bit more expensive than most european resorts. The pool area was lovely, lots of little raised up parts around the pool to sit, sun loungers plentiful. Cannot move umbrellas as bolted to the gound so have to move the loungers to sit in/out of the sun. The pool was saltwater and chemicals turn your whites yellow!! Beware. Snack bar by the pool sold baguette sandwiches about 6 euros each but enoug for two. Drinks a little pricey, you can buy drinks from the shop and consume them by the pool though. Beach was very pebbley and you need beach shoes to walk, also beware, when you get into the sea it goes very deep suddenly about 2 metres from shore. The food was standard, nothing special. Mousakka, veal, veal, veal, pork, pork,pork. Every day. You could choose to eat in the a la carte restaurant by the beach but quite expensive, around 60 euros per head. 10% discount if you were a half board guest. The buffet service could become a bit of a scrum at mealtimes and the waitors attempted to remove plates before we had even finished eating our food. They hover around your table whilst you are eating which was a little annoying. Desserts were lovely, lots of variety and presented beautifully. Flies are a bit of a problem in the dining room and especially if dining outside, a lot of food is left uncovered. The inside cocktail bar by reception is lovely, Skilled cocktail bar tendors make lovely cocktails, around 6.60 euros each. They have lovely secluded balconies around the bar where you can relax in the warm breeze and watch the outside show below. Waitress service in this bar or you can sit at the bar. The entertainment was quite poor but a few shows were good including the gymnastic male team. Rhodes town is about a 20 min bus ride and Faliraki about 5 mins, both cheap fares. Rhodes town is lovely, especially in the evening. Faliraki is ok for cheap cocktails early in the evening but avoid after 11pm if you hate all of the party party party scene. On the whole the hotel was lovely but I have stayed in just as nice if not better 4 star hotels and feel that to reach 5 star status they need to include some of the additional facilities as standard and improve the food and general service at mealtimes.
