Oasis Hotel Bungalows Rhodes- All Inclusive

This will be a long review, but stick with it as I will share the whole experience of staying here. First impressions: we arrived very late to the hotel but they had arranged for the bar to stay open so that we could at least get a drink before being shown to our rooms, which after several hours of travel we were looking forward to getting into. The walk from reception to our room took us past the pool and through some lovely scented gardens. Once inside the room the gloss of our first impressions faded somewhat. The bathroom looked as if an elderly relative hadn’t updated it since 1978; the garishly furnished porcelain consisted of a blue bath, blue sink and an odd shaped blue toilet that I doubt you’d still be able to buy the parts for. At least it flushed, our friends in another room weren’t so lucky. The bed was satisfactory, the lack of powers outlets less so. We had two. One was above the TV on the wall and the other next to a light switch outside the bathroom. The Grounds: outside the front door of our bungalow we had a grapefruit tree. Round the back, limes. Throughout the rest of the grounds other well established plants included bananas, grapes, apples, and olives. The pavements are largely cobbled and there are large lawns with sun beds and shade, and plenty of areas around the pool for lounging. The grounds are well looked after and a pleasure to walk through. There is a fence at the rear of the property where in a field next door there are deer, chickens and a rabbit. The Pool: what it lacks in area it makes up for in depth, with it being 3m at its deepest. The slope from shallow to deep is sharp and there is not a lot of space for non-swimmers to cool off in before they are on tiptoes. We stayed as they were about to close for the season so there was always plenty of space to sit around the pool, I suspect in busier times loungers adjacent to it might be at a premium. The pool bar: this was unmanned due to a tragic accident to the person that usually runs it. Therefore you were allowed to serve yourself, which sounds like a dream but the local spirits they were offering were absolutely terrible. They all tasted the same and were half the usual ABV of branded spirits. If you had a degree in chemistry it was possible to use the soda machines and a combination of the various bottles to make something that resembled a cocktail, but by the time you’d taken it back to where you were sitting and had a sip from the very small glasses you were back to wondering what else you could make that didn’t just taste like Mr. Sheen and orange juice. The food: Oh dear. This is where things start to take an unpleasant turn. Some people said it was the worst food they have ever been served and that the restaurant felt only three minutes away a film crew and a swearing Gordon Ramsey. Its critics were less kind. Breakfast is mainly dreadful with bacon that looks a bit like it’s never been anywhere near a pig, cold eggs, small frankfurter s

Yes the hotel is dated and could do with a facelift and the bathrooms need to be updated. Yes some of the food is repetitive and menu could be varied. However, the hotel was clean, welcoming and set in beautiful gardens. The staff were amazing. Kind, considerate and attentive. Our room was cleaned each day and fresh towels provided every other day. The pool was cleaned regularly. The staff worked hard to ensure the guests had everything they needed. This is far more than some of the higher rating hotels. The hotel also provided a free shuttle to a beach in Afandou. This was a beautiful pebble beach with crystal clear waters. Pick up for return to the hotel was also provided and always prompt. We had a great time and this down to the surroundings and excellent staff.

The hospitality was amazing and the staff are super friendly and thoughtful, the beach is only a fifteen minute walk away, which is good, and if you dont want to walk you can take the bus which is right across the road from the hotel, I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be coming back.

Oasis hotel and bungalows is a little paradise, with a mature garden, a great pool, a lovely outside seating area and a little playground suitable for toddlers. The rooms were basic, but had everything we needed and were cleaned daily. We particularly enjoyed our little veranda, which had access to the garden and the pool. The staff was sooo friendly and accomodating, we honestly can't thank them enough! The food was great for a budget hotel, with a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian meal every day. We hired a car, but there is a bus stop right outside of the hotel and the bus can take you to Rhodes and Lindos. We are seriously thinking about going again next year. We just loved out stay!

A lovely hotel with gorgeous well kept gardens. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Good choice of all inclusive drinks and food . Nice pool area which is cleaned daily, would definitely recommend. Well located with a bus stop outside around 25 minutes to Lindos and Rhodes Town.
