Archipolis Vacations from $787

Overall, I’d say a 7 out of 10. Firstly, my usual gripe on 5-star ratings. There is no official yardstick so can only compare with others rated as 5-star. This just isn't - maybe a 4 at best?. Room construction / layout / materials quality not 5-star. Pools / reception area close though, very nice. All inclusive : Food not great and repetitive, drinks quality below average and the usual watered-down variants. Restaurant felt like a school dinner hall after the first couple of nights and having to wait for an outside table quickly became boring. Nightly entertainment variable (and on weekly repeat loop…) Managed to get a sunbed at anytime (unusual and a plus) but pools were cold (sea was warmer). Beach small but nice view, rocky though so couldn’t just walk into sea bare-footed. Staff generally OK – reception / reception bar and cleaners all good, others a bit perfunctory. Our 2nd try at all-inclusive and probably our last, the lack of choice, quality of food / drink; lack of individuality and feeling of being tied into the facility not really worth the perceived value for money. We did meet / hear several groups who were on their multiple return to this hotel so for some it clearly hits the mark.

Great room, perfect location and view, wonderful staff. Couldn't ask for more.

Lovely small hotel in a quiet street in Rhodes Old Town. All the staff are wonderful.

Room, staff, service and grounds were lovely. The only thing missing was a nice beach and dining options nearby. Parking availability was also difficult if returning late in evening. We really enjoyed our stay at Kresten Palace and would return again.

The property is in the best possible location (1 block from the busiest shopping/dinning street but on a quiet plaza) and less the a block from the entrance to the grand palace. The unique design (a converted fashion house from the 1960s/70s) is truly unique and kitschy cool. The breakfast is perfect. And the host is incredible- friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic Rhodestown experience. We highly recommend this beautiful boutique hotel.
