Atlantica Dreams Resort - All Inclusive

We stayed for one week, arriving on October 19, 2024. We stayed in room 5005 (swim-up). We had been looking at this hotel for a long time, and after staying in many other Atlantica hotels in Rhodes, we got a great deal and were excited to go here. Firstly, it’s likely that we wouldn’t stay again. It wasn’t a bad hotel or experience, but it didn’t quite fulfil expectations. That being said, I had high expectations so maybe that’s why. I would also not stay in October again, at least not late October. We had a swim-up room and it just wasn’t warm enough. We just didn’t get as much use of it as needed. That’s not a problem with the hotel entirely, it’s the October weather. However they only have one heated pool, and it’s the activity pool. They should really consider heating more pools, especially the swim-up pools. The rooms We stayed in swim-up room 5005, a family room. It wasn’t particularly large but it matched the other Atlantica hotels we’ve stayed in. It was decent for size and what we needed. It also had a partition in it for the two single beds at the patio doors. We, as non drinkers, asked the staff to give us a fridge full of pepsi max instead. Luckily we caught them coming to the room and they were great. Always restocked us with enough drinks. I did give them a small tip which also seemed to help. The swim-up terrace offers reasonable privacy. If it wasn’t so cold then the pool area was great and we would have been using this non-stop. There’s lots of reviews about some rooms being in/out of the sun. we were in a room, luckily, that had the sun from around 11am until it went down. I would not appreciate being in a room on the opposite side, that was in the shade from around midday. This would be very disappointing. Food In summary, the main buffet restaurant food was a let-down for this hotel. I was expecting much better, and have had better at Aegean Blu and Imperial. It did the job, but I can’t say a lot more than that. It wasn’t particularly exciting, and some dishes seemed to appear on different theme nights. By the end of the week I was bored of the buffet, but taking a 10 year old and a baby it was the easy option than trying to book another restaurant. Overall I was very disappointed in the buffet food at the hotel. The flip side to this is the waffle bar. Located near the waterpark, you could get waffles and ice creams and drinks here. Also some small donuts. The waffles were amazing, I suspect we ate 100 over the week. I loved this snack bar, despite it getting busy at times. If you go as soon as it opens there’s no queue. Snack bars These were good. If you love gyros as much as we do, you’ll be happy. There’s a snack bar next to the activity pool which we used, great for gyros, salad, chips, etc. the food was what you’d expect from here, decent quality and the wait times were always very short. There is another snack bar near the main pool area though, and this one does similar stuff. However, we always found the wai

Couldn't really fault it. What a box ticker. The cleanest hotel I've ever stayed at, so spacious and the staff are very friendly. The a la carte restaurants were a great mix up of food options which were included and the pools were excellent. Highly recommend for any family.

This resort was perfect for a week getaway Upon arrival the staff were really friendly and we were driven to our room in a buggy with our luggage and we were helped with unpacking There were loads of lovely pools and restaurants with a swim up bar in 2 of the pools There was a wonderful view of the sea and mountains from our room We rented a car and visited lots of nice places round the island The room was the most luxurious place I’d ever stayed and it also had a swimming pool Unfortunately the outdoor pools were a bit cold probably due to the season There were also some ancient ruins around the hotel Overall we had a fantastic holiday and I would highly recommend visiting although I would recommend visiting from late August to early September for the temperature of both the air and the pools We visited lots of

We have just returned from a fantastic family holiday at Atlantic Dreams. We travelled as a family of 3 (two adults and a 4 year old). We arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the morning and were quickly checked in and the buffet was left open for some food/drinks although we went straight to our room. Room: we had a standard double room (9102) which had the sofa made up as a bed for our son. The room was lovely and spacious, and smelt amazing. There was a lot of storage space for clothing and we had a large balcony which got the sun in the evening which was great for dying swimsuits. There were English TV channels available which was great for our son to watch some kids TV in the evening whilst we got ready. There were toiletries available for use which smelt really nice. Food: the food was a bit disappointing. Breakfast was fine with standard fry up options, pancakes, Greek yoghurt, cereal, omelette. However I found the options for lunch and tea were very limited as a pescatarian and I ended up eating the same thing every day. My husband eats meat and he also found the food quite bland and repetitive. We managed to book in to two a la cartes: Gaia and the Italian. Gaia was ok, the dessert was very nice there. We really liked the Italian. The only issues with the a la cartes is there were very limited drinks options- you were unable to order cocktails and my husband had to walk downstairs to get my son a hot chocolate from the piano bar downstairs as this wasn’t an option either. Kids club: the kids club was fantastic! The people working in there was so kind and friendly. We were worried about safety after seeing a kids club at a previous holiday in Turkey but we’re very reassured to see that the staff check in and out all children using a parents signature and you are unable to just walk in and out as you please. Face painting was available every day at 4.30 which our son loved as he got to be Marshall (paw patrol) every day. He also went to the kids club 3 afternoons of our holiday where he had a great time. Thank you to all the staff working there! Activities/entertainment: the activities provided by TUI are what made our holiday so amazing. We got to do so much both for adults and also kids: archery, shuffleboard, family yoga, adult mindfulness, adult painting, aqua aerobics, family dance, kids rave, stone painting, aqua boards and other activities we didn’t take part in. They also celebrated octoberfest whilst we were there where they had drinking games such as beer pong, pass the beer etc by the main pool which was great fun (no pressure to drink alcohol if you didn’t want to). There was a kids show every night called T-bots which our son enjoyed and we also took part in the evening quiz one night which was great fun. The fitness/entertainment staff were all so friendly and made everything so much fun. A massive thank you to Beth, Francesco and Marcel for making our son so happy and letting him ‘help’ with the activities.

We stayed here in the school holidays which is their busiest time but it never felt crowded. We could always get a sun lounger and never had to wait too long to get a drink. Although the hotel felt quiet, there was always plenty to do and get involved in if you wanted. It was just not in your face but easily accessible with the app. The hotel and its grounds are stunning. Very neutral in taste (I wanted to take the outdoor chairs from the piano bar home with me) I would definitely recommend upgrading to a swim up suite. I chose a family inland view one, as I wanted it to be in a more peaceful area. Block 7 was perfect for this. Lovely view and had a larger pool area, which our terrace got the sun in the morning till 2ish in the afternoon. The pool itself got the sun all day. The food at the buffet is some of the best we have had in an all inclusive. Good choice, even for my fussy kids. Highly recommend trying the Al a Carte restaurants. Our favourite place was the beach bar for a sundowner or if you wanted a change of scenery in the day. The kids loved the entertainment in the evening as well as the kids clubs. Plus the fact they could order milkshakes/ ice creams/ mocktails whenever they wanted. We really couldn’t fault this hotel, the only slight downside was its location, with not much round it within walking distance. This wasn’t a deal breaker for us as we ended up hiring a car for two days which I would highly recommend. Great way to see the Island on your own schedule. Alternatively the cost of a taxi was €35 one way to Lindos or €3 by Bus. We don’t tend to go back to the same hotel but this one, I would make an exception.
