Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Kresten Palace Hotel generally makes a positive impression, with many guests highlighting the spacious rooms. The hotel boasts a large pool area, and direct access to a stoney beach, where hotel sunbeds are available. The convenient bus stop right outside the hotel facilitates easy and cheap access to Rhodes town and Kalithea springs; though some guests have commented that the bathrooms could use some updating. Gluten-free options are well catered for, especially at dinner with a dedicated 'gluten-free corner'.

Excellent Hotel Experience

spacious roomclean groundsfriendly staffvegan breakfast
I enjoyed the spacious room. It had a large balcony facing west! Sunshine warmed my balcony most of the day until sunset. The grounds were super clean and well-kept. The swimming pool area was equally clean. I found the staff at the Blu pool bar to be very friendly and quick to serve drinks.
The hotel offered only a few vegan options at breakfast. I saw one server moving omelettes with their hands. This made me question the breakfast choices overall.
Rooms

My family room was very spacious with a view of the pool and sea. The housekeeping staff kept the room spotlessly clean. The room included a TV and fridge, very useful.
Location

The hotel location is great with easy access to buses. Buses go to Rhodes, Lindos, Faliraki and other tourist areas. A bus stop is right outside. This runs every 20 minutes to Rhodes Town.
Dining

The main restaurant (Athena) was very spacious. The variety of food was plentiful and constantly renewed. The hot food was always hot. The cuisine catered to most European tastes.

the staff were very helpful. i especially liked niki and margarita who were always smiling. the buffet breakfast and dinner had a wide variety. there were bus stops right outside (easy island access!). i found the location very convenient.

the entertainment team, especially kiki, kept things lively with daytime and nighttime events. i especially enjoyed the crazy entertainment provided each night, it definitely added a spark to the evenings. i would consider returning for the atmosphere.
the reception team was unhelpful and seemed uninterested in resolving issues. i found this disappointing, since good service is valuable. despite the team's indifference, the other services were good.
