The hype
Families worship the waterpark and friendly staff, but everyone complains about the noise and the 'canteen-style' chaos at the buffet.
Amada Colossos Ultra All Inclusive Resort
$180-280/ nuit
Réservez si You want a high-energy, waterpark-centric family fortress where the kids are entertained 24/7 and you don't mind fighting for a sunbed.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Massive 5-slide waterpark with separate zones for toddlers, teens, and adults
- A staggering 140m-long main pool that spans nearly the entire resort frontage
- Direct access to Kallithea Beach (though bring water shoes for the pebbles)
En bref : It is a 699-room holiday factory that delivers exceptional fun for families but zero solitude for anyone else.
Évalué par @blueskyandsuushine: I honestly didn't want to leave. The water is crystal clear right off the pier, and having dinner on the beach at sunset was magical. If you want effortless luxury in Rhodes without the stress, this is the spot.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'Sea View' is non-negotiable; 'Hill View' rooms overlook a busy road and a dusty hinterland.
- Your kids need constant stimulation (waterpark, kids' club, arcade)
- You want a modern, renovated room rather than a dated Greek hotel
- You enjoy evening entertainment that feels like a full-blown concert
Propreté et entretien
9
- Housekeeping: Daily and efficient. Guests consistently praise the 'army' of cleaners who keep the lobby and grounds spotless.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Grout and glass are well-maintained, though the open design means steam escapes into the room.
- Maintenance: Excellent. The 2017/2018 renovation still feels fresh, with very few reports of broken fixtures or peeling paint.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and white, though pool towels can be a bit thin and scratchy.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh, though the main buffet can smell strongly of food frying during peak dinner rush.

Avant de réserver

Quoi emporter
- Water shoes (for the hot pool deck and pebbly beach)
- High-quality earplugs (essential for sleeping before 11 PM)

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the waterpark free?
Yes, access to the 5-slide waterpark is included for all guests, but it closes for a 'siesta' cleaning break mid-day.
Is the alcohol actually good?
It's decent but not top-shelf. The standard 'Gold' all-inclusive covers local spirits and some brands; you need 'Diamond' status for premium international labels.
Can I walk to Faliraki town?
It's a bit of a trek (about 30-40 mins walk) along a busy road. Better to take the bus (stop right outside) or a €10 taxi.
Is there a heated pool?
No. The pools are unheated and can feel surprisingly chilly in May or October.
Are beach towels provided?
Yes, you get a towel card at check-in to swap for fresh towels daily at the pool station.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is a large, free parking lot on-site if you rent a car.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Adults Only' section in the main dining hall is much quieter—turn left immediately upon entering.
- ✨
Skip the main buffet for lunch and hit the 'Greek Kafenion' for lighter, fresher snacks.
- ✨
There is a secret 'Gazebo' rental on the beach that includes waiter service—worth the splurge if you hate the sunbed scramble.
