Lindos Imperial Resort & Spa

Positives Good resort overall. We had a great week’s holiday, we felt relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Great for families! The resort is big and spread out so felt like each day was different as we could move around the resort and try different pools. The rooms with pools looked great! We didn’t have one, we had a family room. But would probably book a pool room next time if we come back. The resort is on the beach so you can go there as well as the pool. There is a beach restaurant so everything to hand. The beach is pebbly. Not a negative but if you want a nice sandy beach then this is not. We had to get beach shoes to wear in the sea. The sea was good for snorkelling. Even for the less experienced as quite a few fish in the shallows. Our 5 year old son was able to use the snorkel to see in the shallows. The food was great, a varied buffet with good choices. Slight negative on the kids vegetable options but on the whole we ate well for a week! The 5pm - 1am crepe and ice cream bar was great, a lot of respect for the staff who manned that station every day! A small queue there almost the whole time! Staff were friendly, and the entertainment was fairly good. Standard resort entertainment. The magic show was good and every night had a kids disco. Rooms were nice and clean, comfy bed and plenty of towels provided. The kids room was near the room entrance, so they had more of a noisy room. The shower was great, a nice big walk in shower, which was non slip. Great for family showers with the kids. Good scenery around the hotel, very picturesque. Got up and saw the most amazing sunrises, as our room was facing in the right direction. Not so good for sunset views as most rooms facing in the opposite direction but the sunrises made up for that. Negatives If you are mobility impaired you might struggle with the resort as it’s on quite a steep hill. The activity pool and amphitheater are quite a long uphill walk. There are golf buggies around which I assume are to help people get around (we didn’t get one but we could see them). You have to book the gym in advance, you can’t just go when you want to. As a gym user I found this a little restricting as I could never book an early morning session, also the sessions were for 45 minutes only. Once booked (I got a slot at 4pm and then at midday on another day), the gym was ok. And booking meant it was never full, so you had it to yourself pretty much. It was not a top of the range gym but had a barbell, weights, kettlebells, cable machine (a bit worn down) and treadmills. So enough to do a good workout. Some of the rooms were noisy, we had children running back and forward outside our room a lot at nighttime after 11pm. We were 3109 which was by the lift lobby so possibly why. It didn’t bother us too much but if you want a quieter room then opt for something away from the main lobby. Also stay away the sea side bar - the rooms around there looked like they might be noisy as there was music

Absolutely shocking. Complete and utter scam, nothing like photos. Food inedible. We checked in at 11pm at night, not eaten for hours, was allowed any food other than ice cream as this “5 star” hotel has no room service. As soon as we got to our “suite” I immediately went online to find another hotel. We informed the reception of our dissatisfaction (amongst others complaining) they said we would not be refunded anything. Even though we had been in the hotel less than 8 hours. After hours of arguing we got about a third refunded to us. I would not stay here for a week if you paid me. Awful.

trip was a little rocky at the start but was soon sorted by the hotel front house and management, sorted very quickly and smoothly- they do say best holidays have a few hiccups before they turn into an unforgettable experience , The 4 off us usually cruise but decided to do a beach holiday before my 50th birthday . There is nothing quite like a holiday where the food is unforgettable , and like cruises you know the high standard of food , but the executive chef and his team at lindos imperial resort did amazing job , with lots of choices i think for everyone i like to say that the buffet was outstanding better than some of the cruises we have all been on . We choose to do the la a carte restaurants - we had a bit of a misunderstanding with my friends diet requirements, but then due to this ,the executive chef and the events team arranged us to have a 4 course meal cooked by executive chef with a little twist . it was outstanding , crafting a masterpiece on each dish , symphony of flavours, precision and creativity, leaving such a lasting impression this was an amazing holiday enjoyed by us all , and my husband who is not really a seat around pool , beach holiday said that he will return . rooms where amazing , clean and tidy and cleaned everyday - just like the pictures on the web site - we had a room with a balcony sea view - we used mainly the beach pool area as it was near the bar for the men , but lovely and quite as most families were using the slide pools and the top of the resort , we went down to the beach snack bar where the staff here were lovely and enjoyed pizza, toastie sandwich and chips , also available ice cream beach is a yes for beach shoes , very hard to walk on but if just sun bathing , nice to relax . service is good all over the hotel , very friendly staff and local people , we did go in low season so do except it to be a little different once the hotel gets busy will return , thank you lindos imperial hotel for our amazing experience

So to start, we had a great holiday and there were some positives for the hotel. However, do not expect 5 ⭐ or you will be disappointed. To start on the positives: Pools are fantastic, especially the activity pool; Pool service is great, Grill restaurant was delicious; Activity team were great. Onto the negatives: Drinks service in the main bar was poor. Extremely slow with massive queues; Room felt damp, and air conditioning seemed ineffective; Only got the right number of towels 3 times during 10 day stay. Had to regularly hunt down a cleaner to get more towels; Shower was in a bath and in an awkward position. This resulted in the bathroom flooding every time we had a shower; Had to request toilet roll several times as cleaners seemed to refuse to replace even when we had only half a roll left; Food in all other a la cartes was cold, stale or just not nice at all; No electricity in room on arrival. Had to find out own way to room in the dark and then eventually found out I had to return to the reception to get an electricity card. Really poor form considering we arrived at 1am; Only one toaster at breakfast for the entire buffet restaurant. Causes huge queues; Orange juice constantly going off and not being replaced in the morning; Food in buffet being empty for long periods (note this is not peak season so it should not have been this bad); Honestly, you can have a good holiday here, but don't expect 5 ⭐. This is a 3 ⭐, maybe a 4 ⭐ at most. I could just more issues, but mostly is just say don't expect luxury or high quality.

I’m a seasoned traveler and have visited many hotels of four and five star ratings. This hotel is only three star. Unfortunately our holiday was extremely disappointing. We arrived on a Monday to find there were no toilet facilities throughout the whole hotel available for public use. So if you were at any of the pools or restaurants you would have to go back to your room to use your own facilities. It wasn’t until the Thursday that one public toilet was available for guests. The hotel itself is in need of updating and maintenance throughout. The food is average in the main restaurant but a little better in the other themed restaurants.

Firstly I am gobsmacked at the bad reviews on here ! I have just returned less than a week ago with my family of 9 ! This is so sad to see so many people complaining about things that I simply cannot relate to ! We spent 10 nights here at this gorgeous hotel ages range from 9-58 years old. The hotel is SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, the FOOD is beautiful and had so so much in range to offer vegan, fast food, Al Fresco, meat, fish, chicken, a vast selection of cheeses,Cereals, crepes, pancakes, FRESH FRUIT, waffles the list goes on ! The day time snack bars offer lots of different foods too. There is a permanent selection of unlimited ice creams. Fizzy drinks all day even energy drink. They can make any drink/cocktail you ask for ! Who ever put otherwise in a previous review is absolutely lying ! The pools are stunning especially the main pool lite up at night and the ACTIVITY pool has so much to offer ranging from slides to entertainment to suit all and all day ! The STAFF well I have never met staff so friendly, they go out of their way to please everyone, they are smartly dressed and so kind too. If I had to really mention names and give praise I would really like to mention SEMIS ( Waiter in main bar ) so friendly and goes above and beyond ! Also the chefs who swelter in the hot weather cooking in additional heat and provide such lovely food ! Also an older bar man at the ACTIVITY pool ( unfortunately don’t know his name ) he was so accommodating and friendly ! . The buggy drivers are so helpful too they it’s so hot for them and they drive you everywhere and help out with all your luggage on arrival and departure if needed. The surroundings of the hotel are beautiful and scenic with mountain and sea views and pretty flowers everywhere! I have been to many hotels in Spain, Cyprus, and the Canaries and this does not deserve any bad reviews especially the FOOD !
