The hype
Travelers love the beachfront location and the new swim-up rooms, but many feel the buffet food is repetitive and 'canteen-like' with plastic cups.
Lutania Beach
$130-220/ nuit
Réservez si You want a quiet, direct-beachfront base in Rhodes and are savvy enough to book a renovated 'Paralos' room to avoid the legacy 'Lutania' pitfalls.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Direct access to a mixed sand-and-pebble beach (no road to cross)
- Swim-up rooms and shared pool suites are surprisingly affordable
- Located in Kolymbia, a strategic halfway point between Rhodes Town and Lindos
En bref : A hotel in the middle of an identity crisis—half sleek 'Paralos Rodos Lifestyle' renovation, half tired 'Lutania' legacy, so your room choice defines your entire trip.
Évalué par @Tunnelvisionexplorer: I took a gamble visiting Rhodes in late May, and honestly? It paid off. Sure, it rained a bit, but having the pool and gardens entirely to myself was magical. It felt like a private retreat. If you want total silence and don't mind a moody sky, this is it.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'All Inclusive' can feel budget-tier (plastic cups for drinks, extra charge for safe and beach towels) despite the 4-star rating.
- You prioritize beach access over luxury dining
- You rent a car and use this as a central base for exploring the island
- You book a 'Shared Pool' or 'Sea View' room
Propreté et entretien
7
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though some guests report missed spots in older rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: The biggest pain point. Renovated bathrooms are spotless; older ones have reports of moldy grout and stained toilets.
- Maintenance: Renovated areas are pristine. Legacy areas show peeling paint and worn carpets.
- Linens & towels: Towels can be scratchy and thin. Bedding is standard hotel grade.
- Odors & scents: Older rooms can smell musty or damp due to poor ventilation; lobby smells fresh.

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir

Quoi emporter
- Water shoes (the beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, can be rocky in water)

- Reusable cup (to avoid the small plastic cups at the pool bar)

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I am looking forward to my stay. Please ensure I am assigned a RENOVATED room (Paralos style) away from the service road/kitchen delivery area to avoid the 5 AM noise. A room on an upper floor with a true sea view is highly preferred.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the hotel actually on the beach?
Yes, direct access. No road to cross. It's a mix of sand and pebbles.
Is the food good?
It's hit or miss. Reviews consistently mention 'canteen vibes,' repetitive options, and plastic cups. Great for sustenance, not for foodies.
Is there a gym?
There is a small outdoor gym area and tennis court, but don't expect a full fitness center.
How much is the safe?
Expect to pay a daily fee (approx. €3/day) unless you are in a premium suite.
Is it good for kids?
Moderately. There is a kids' pool and playground, but no extensive kids' club or animation team like big resorts.
Can I walk to town?
Yes, Kolymbia's main eucalyptus street with shops and tavernas is a short 5-10 minute walk.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Climate Resilience Tax' is a nasty surprise at check-in (€10/night)—budget for it.
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes south along the beach to find 'Limanaki' restaurant for a much better meal than the hotel buffet.
- ✨
The 'All Inclusive' drinks often use cheap local spirits; stick to beer or wine for better quality.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir

💡You have to pay for beach towels or a deposit in some booking tiers.
💡The 'Animation' is virtually non-existent—don't expect poolside games or big shows.
💡The bathroom ventilation in older rooms is poor, leading to the 'musty' complaints.
💡There is a 'Healthy Bar' near the pool (Breeze & Squeeze) that offers better snacks than the main buffet.
