Villa di Mare Seaside Suites

We booked an Executive Club Suite expecting a 5-star standard, but unfortunately, the reality fell far short. The décor was outdated, the room felt dark and basic, and the cleanliness left much to be desired. The website’s images are highly misleading, presenting a far more polished impression than what we encountered on arrival. Despite marketing themselves as family-friendly, the resort does not cater well to children. There is no dedicated kids’ menu, children under 12 are not allowed in the main pool, and the “kids’ pool” is extremely small. The atmosphere was also disappointing – staff appeared disengaged and unwelcoming, which added to the overall negative experience. We had booked for five nights but felt compelled to leave after just one night and relocate to another 5-star property nearby that delivered on its promises. The only positive is the location, which is undoubtedly beautiful and likely the reason for its current status. As frequent international travellers, we cannot understand how this property can legitimately market itself as a true 5-star resort. I don’t understand what I’m missing and why the reviews are glowing. I do have a suspicion that guests are “encouraged” to leave positive reviews.

Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, and the restaurant is very good. You really feel very welcome here. We had a great holiday and will see you next year!

Just came back from two weeks at Villa Di Mare. Great experience! Would like to highlight the beautifully decorated and spacious room (Superior club suite), professional and friendly staff, comfortable bed, really good/quiet air condition, thorough daily cleaning of the room, amazing breakfast with loads of options, comfortable sunbeds (with no sunbed war in the mornings) and beautiful pool area. The hotel is close to a ton of restaurants and just a 10 min taxi drive to Rhodes city centre. Would highly recommend staying here. It’s a small and intimate hotel, just the oppsite of the crowded all inclusive places everywhere else. The only thing we didn’t like was the loud music by the pool during weekends. Guess we’re getting old.. A special thanks to Athena who helped us with everything we needed during our stay.

Review From the moment we were met at the airport to the moment your driver kindly took us back, everything was nigh on perfect. The staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming , the room was excellent with a lovely, cool plunge pool, the pool area itself was lovely and the view was wonderful. What we loved most was that this is not a huge, impersonal tower block hotel but a genuine oasis of calm (even being just on the main road) with a lovely, warm, homely feel. And if you are looking to be close to a shul for Shabbat , Habad is literally next door. 5 star luxury with 6 star service in a 10 star setting! Thankyou all again - we can’t wait to return.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Di Mare, staying in the superior suite with private pool. All the staff were so attentive and the room and private pool was phenomenal. Cannot recommend the restaurant enough, we ate there twice in the evening as the quality of the food was unmatched as was the service. Perfect stay!!

Our stay was ok but our room smelled like sewer gases every time we used the shower or sink. We were only here 2 nights so we didn’t notify front desk because we have been down this path before. When we told them during checkout they said they would have put tablets down the drain which would have just masked the smell seems like pumping is done incorrectly but they won’t fix that probably too expensive and extensive of a project. Probably definitely needs care and updates not sure how the 5 star rating was done but I’d give it 3 on a good day. Drink were great especially the Mai Tai but definitely over priced. I wouldn’t stay here again stay in Rhodes town more restaurants and things to do this isn’t worth the price!
