Overall, we had a lovely vacation — the location is beautiful, the pool area is fantastic, the animation team is great fun, and the pool staff are truly wonderful.
That said, there are a few areas where the hotel could definitely improve, especially considering its high ranking and 5-star status.
Food:
Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations for a 5-star hotel. My wife is vegan, and before our arrival we called to confirm that vegan options would be available. We were assured that the chef and restaurant manager would provide suitable alternatives. In practice, however, there were almost no vegan options, and despite several conversations and promises to help (we stayed for 8 days), nothing was really done.
When we mentioned this at reception, the response was: “You chose the wrong hotel according to your expectations.” I don’t believe vegan food should be considered a special or high expectation in 2025 — especially at a 5-star property.
Additionally, a few dishes were labeled as “vegan” even though they contained cheese or eggs. When we pointed this out, the manager simply said, “Oh, weird,” and walked away without fixing it. This could be dangerous for guests with allergies, not just frustrating for vegans.
Rooms:
The swim-up rooms were quite old, not very clean, and clearly in need of better maintenance. When we moved to one of the newer rooms, it was much smaller but felt cleaner and more welcoming.
In summary, we really enjoyed the pool and the nearby beach, and we made the best of our time because we wanted to focus on having fun. But we do hope the hotel management takes these comments seriously — with some improvements, this place could truly live up to its potential.

The hotel itself is very nice great for families and friends who want to have a summer vacation. The service was excellent; all of the staff members were very nice and polite, and any service needed came quickly and efficiently. The room was very nice with no issues. The bed was very comfortable and clean, and I had a great sleep. There’s a TV and everything I needed. I liked the room a lot.
The location is beautiful there is a beach right next to the hotel, as well as many small shops, bars, and restaurants, which are great for going out at night. However, it is a 25–30 minute drive to the city itself, so a shopping day will need to be planned ahead.
The games were not free, which was a shame. For example, the billiard table costs money, and you don’t get any free balls or equipment needed for the sports.
The food was really bad. First of all, the kitchen wasn’t that big, so you never got that many options. On top of that, the food itself didn’t taste good. There were several times when we needed to go to a restaurant after dinner because we didn’t eat anything it was just too bad. There was barely any protein for the kids, and a lot of the food repeated itself.
Although there was a free bar with great drinks at the pool bar and ice cream for the kids, in conclusion, the hotel itself was great, but the food and paid sports games were not what we expected, and they left a bad impression on me personally.

We stayed at the Leonardo Kolymbia Hotel with our family in July 2025. We arrived around 12:00 PM and were immediately invited to have lunch. After lunch, we were checked into our room. The room was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The food at the hotel was excellent – there was always a good variety to choose from. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were local, but the beer was surprisingly good. The hotel itself is not very large, which actually made it feel more cozy and comfortable.
The sea is just a 3–5-minute walk away. There are about 20 blue sunbeds on the beach, available free of charge for hotel guests.
Restaurant hours are as follows:
• Breakfast: 07:00–10:30
• Lunch: 12:30–14:30
• Dinner: 19:00–21:30
There are plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants near the hotel. About 300 meters away, there is a bus stop with regular service to both Rhodes and Lindos.
The hotel staff were wonderful – always helpful and attentive to any questions or needs we had. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to return again!

We stayed for a week on an all-inclusive deal and had a great time!
Our room was cleaned and tidied daily, and the staff – both at the reception and in the dining room – were super friendly and helpful.
The hotel shop had better prices than outside stores, which was a nice bonus.
There are plenty of fun sports activities – tennis, volleyball, ping pong, and pétanque.
The entertainment team was fantastic – fun, energetic, and really made us feel welcome.
The only downsides were the food and the included cocktails.
There’s a big variety (especially for vegetarians), but the quality was just okay.
As for the cocktails – the ones included in the all-inclusive package were weak and not tasty at all, but the ones you pay for separately were much better.

Great hotel. The staff was awsome, everybody smile tries to do the best for you.The pool was large enough but not to large, general occupancy in the hotel was at the right amount, there was always free table in the dinning room, food was different every day, and at the bottom line it was a great vacation for us. We already started thinking about coming back next year.
