Lindos Breeze Beach Hotel

This hotel is pleasant but a few things could have improved our experience which would have lead up to the 5 star status the hotel was meant to have. We traveled as a group of 3 couples (6 of us in total). We booked 3 of the same rooms however we had 2 good size rooms and one was significantly smaller. One of the couples had a faulty door lock. After explaining this to reception many times, they were given the same response that the cleaner would take a look. A couple of times they came back to their door being wide open and this isn’t really acceptable. Another couple experienced a leaky a/c unit which dripped water in the night which lead to a bad sleep one night. We let reception know and they did fix it by the next day. A huge bonus to staying at the hotel is that you get full access to the hotel across the road (imperial). This hotel is great and where we spent most of our time. The activity pool had plenty of room and sun beds. The downside was that this was a decent length walk from our room but thank you to the staff who offered us lifts on the golf buggies when we were feeling lazy! The entertainment staff were great fun and did a good job. Special shout out to Johnny and Pepe who made our time here so funny. We did find that most of the bar staff at the hotel were quite rude/grumpy. We put this down to potentially being towards the end of the season but if the hotel is open as usual you’d expect the staff to be the same. There were a couple of members of staff that were really good however. The food at the imperial buffet restaurant is pretty good and everyone found something to eat at every meal time. We tried the seafood, Asian and Mexican a la carte restaurant which were all pretty good - a shame the steak restaurant had no availability due to people staying at imperial having priority booking. The cocktail list at the main bar is extensive so we had plenty of choice. Another thing that was a bit annoying was the locks on the toilets didn’t work most of the time and a lot of the toilets were broken or out of use. Just something you’d expect a 5 star hotel to be on top of however they never got fixed during our week’s stay. On the last day before checking out we went to the pool at breeze hotel to have a drink before we left. Unfortunately there was no staff at the bar which was a shame. Overall we felt the hotel was pretty good value for money but some small things that could be fixed easily would have taken our experience to a 4 or a 5 out of 5.

We originally emailed Lindos Breeze with our concerns on 8th May however have not received a response. We enjoyed our stay at your hotel but we did have some concerns with our experience: We had booked to stay at the 5 star Lindos Breeze Beach Hotel for our holiday. When we arrived we were taken to the Lindos Imperial rather than the Lindos Breeze, and were told to check in there and given a hotel room within the Imperial’s grounds. At no point were we introduced, shown, or made aware of any of the Lindos Breeze’s facilities. From researching since, the Lindos Imperial is a cheaper hotel with 1 star fewer to its rating. Please can you advise as to why we were located here instead of the Lindos Breeze Beach Hotel for our stay. We paid a premium for a 5 star hotel but got none of the benefits. The food within both the main restaurant and a la carte restaurants was exceptional. We also really enjoyed the bars, where the staff were extremely polite and friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us. The location of our room, right next to the seaside pool, was good. However we had some issues with the room itself. The shower door on the bath had no seal along the bottom of it, so the water from the shower would flood the bathroom floor making it a major slipping hazard. We reported this to Jamie, the Customer Relations Agent, but nothing was ever done about this. The other was that we were never provided a bath mat after the first day. Housekeeping took the wet one (very wet due to the shower door problem) but did not provide another. This was a problem as slipping on the very wet floor was already an issue as mentioned above. We requested a bath mat from reception twice, but it never arrived. In addition, there was a big storm on night 3 of our stay, which resulted in a leak in our room ceiling/roof. This dripped and soaked the bed during the night and woke us up at 3am. At this time we swiftly walked to reception (as our room phone did not work so could not call them). We informed them of the problem and they advised that they would send someone to take a look immediately. Unfortunately it took almost an hour for a member of staff to arrive, to which all they did was provide a towel to put on the floor. Unimpressed by this and the still leaking ceiling in the morning we spoke to reception again asking what would be done. They came to the room again, said we would be contacted and possibly moved rooms due to this, however we were never contacted following this. Good things about the room were that it was always kept clean by housekeeping, and the balcony was pleasant. As a whole we had mixed feelings about our stay. The facilities, food, and staff were fantastic, but the room, reception, and not being in the hotel we booked greatly tainted an enjoyable holiday.

I would not recommend this hotel, here’s why. First, the drive from the airport to the hotel is 90 minutes not 45 as advertised. When you read the “blurb” about the hotel, it says you can use “all the facilities at the hotel next door” it’s not next door, it’s up a small but steep at the top hill, if you have ANY mobility issues, this hotel is DEFINITELY not for you. There is NOTHING in the breeze except bedrooms, nothing else, going next door is not an option, you have to. I ordered and paid for a twin deluxe room, what I got was this, a double bed, (at 11o,clock at night ) just arrived from the airport. The bathroom, well, no tiles on any wall, the shower enclosure just had blobs of paint in different colours on it, the floor was the same except uneven and slippery. There was not a single hook anywhere, not a shelf, nothing just the sink. The shower leaked all over the floor every time. Very small bottles of shampoo and oil?? The sheets were never changed once in the week we were there. There was one small chair and the bed, that was it. The food was good except the hotel was full of small children in prams and pushchairs who all seemed to cry, scream and cry at once. The drinks I’m sure were watered down or very cheap quality. The beach was so rocky you could barely walk on it, even in the sea there are huge boulders and slippery rocks, but the sea was warmer than the pools. The “specialty restaurants “ you have to queue at the imperial next door at 10.00 am, you can only book two days ahead. We booked the Asian, it’s more Chinese than Asian, we both booked the beef dish, since when do you get whole, large Brussel sprouts in a Chinese dish? Along with whole carrots? The grill restaurant was good, the first thing you see is a large jar with “tips “ on a piece of paper in it??? I have to comment on George, the receptionist at the breeze during the day. He was absolutely brilliant in helping me when BA decided to lose my suitcase for the first five days of my seven day holiday. All in all I would not return to this hotel, it cost £2,000 with loveholidays who again I would never use agin, first time but never again.
