Caesars Gardens Hotel & Spa - Adults Only

Location: Hotel is 15-20 min walk from the bus station drop off from Rhodes and 15-20 mins from the town/ beach. Small market located closed by. Cleanliness: Hotel and facilities are very clean and in good condition Service: staff are generally nice. Check-in could be improved to provide guest important details (where and what time is breakfast, internet access, external blinds to block out light in the room, restaurant hours...). Dinner at the restaurant is quite good. Hotel: it is a small, intimate-feel hotel, pool can feel a little big-brother due to small size All in all, great stay- welcome drink at arrival is a nice touch, breakfast is great and there is a bag with towels in the room to use at the beach/ pool

We spent a week in May at the rather splendid Ceasers Gardens and had a thoroughly wonderful time! We stayed in their highest room category, the Mediterranean Suite which has all the outdoor space you could possibly need! Nice to see a parasol for those of us that dont want to be in the sun constantly and there were a variety of seating options to choose from. The plunge pool was far too cold to use at this time of year sadly, but dipping your feet in for a few seconds soon brought your temperature down when necessary. The room was spacious and beautifully styled, however we have never come across a bed quite so high - a step was provided to get in and out of it! We found it amusing but its not for everyone! All the staff were very friendly and accommodating and seemed genuinely pleased to be there. Breakfast each day was a real treat, we also had lunch and dinner on a couple of occasions at the hotel restaurant- the food was consistently fantastic! Being a small property, there are very few people around at one time and the whole place has a gorgeous, tranquil ambience - very relaxing. No sunbed wars here! Oh and just on a side note, not sure if those lux sun loungers on their marketing photos were just brought in to dress the place, but they don't exist! Just your regular sun loungers round the pool, no deep cushions as advertised! Location was perfect for us, a 20 minute walk into Lindos, any further would have been a touch too far in the heat. We did walk back most of the time, but the uphill part as you come out of the village is a challenge after a big meal! Taxis are plentiful and only a few euros if you're not feeling up to it. There is a supermarket a couple of minutes down the road which stocks a little of everything, we also brought carrots every day and fed them to the two donkeys in the field on the way back! Hotel reception very kindly organised a rental car for us one day, we drove into Rhodes Old Town and went out to dinner the other side of Pefkos that evening. At €50 for the day it was great value and cheaper than a taxi. You can catch the bus from the bottom of the road but it gets very busy and obviously takes much longer. We ate dinner one evening at Cesars Meze Bar in Lindos and would highly recommend it. Beautifully styled, gorgeous views and the food and drink were superb. We met the owner that evening, he came over and introduced himself, lovely chap - clearly very passionate about what he does. Lindos has a very special place in our hearts as we got married here 10 years ago, so it was amazing to come back and see how much is has changed. Ceasers was the perfect place to stay for us. A few observations that if addressed would elevate this lovely little hotel even further... - There is a coffee machine in the room, but pods are chargeable, this is unusual in a 5 star hotel. - 2 small bottles of water are provided each day, if you'd like more, it's also chargeable. Again, wouldn't expect that in a 5 star hot

Having walked past this hotel for many years I was delighted to find out that they allow you to use the pool area for the day for a €15 per person charge. This gave me the opportunity to see what the outside areas were like. The pool area, gardens, and jacuzzi areas are absolutely beautiful. Very peaceful and tranquil. Perfect for a relaxing day with no children screaming and jumping in the pool. We also had lunch there. I ordered club sandwich and it was superb..the best I'd ever eaten. And my husband had crispy chicken burger...it looked fabulous but unfortunately was totally overcooked and impossible to eat. We didn't complain but we should have. The prices for food and drinks are as you would expect for a boutique hotel but not as expensive as I expected. But more than most hotels in the area. Having spoken to guests who were staying there they raved about the breakfast and said the rooms were lovely. My main gripes are: The sun beds are nylon and do not have any mattresses on. This is clearly a new thing as last year they were different beds and had very thick mattresses. The parasols are fixed open coconut matting types and you are constantly chasing the sun as they give off a lot of shade so most of the beds most of the time are in shade. The pool is stunning but I saw moss growing on the floor of the pool and in a corner and it put me off. The jacuzzi was fabulous but after seeing the moss in the pool I questioned the cleaning of these areas. I would return as a day guest but unless I win the lottery I would probably not want to save up to stay there.
