Overall Ratings & Reviews Elissa Lifestyle Beach Resort – Adults Only

Great resort!

Beautiful hotel, one of the best I've stayed in. It didnt feel overly busy. The food was excellent, only area for improvement was the evening bar. Mostly the serving staff weren't even aware that you had arrived and were too busy talking to the barmen. Mostly other serving areas were much more customer focused. Overall the hotel is great and we would return.

The hotel was beautiful and the food was incredible, especially at the a la carte restaurants! Highly recommend and would easily go back to!

We spent 7 nights at Elissa Resort on the Elevated Bliss package (all-inclusive) and loved every moment. It was our first time in Greece, and we’d return in a heartbeat—we only left the resort once to visit the Old Town! Room: Modern, spacious, and cozy—felt like a home away from home. The bed was large and comfy with a pillow menu. The minibar was restocked daily, and there were two TVs with YouTube and Chromecast options. The bathroom was roomy, though the open shower splashed a bit. Tip: bring small bags for disposing of toilet paper (not flushable in Greece), a travel iron, and pegs for the drying rack. Only downside: limited snacks (just oregano crisps and sesame bites). Dining: 4 restaurants: three à la carte (Fourni, Kavos, Masari) and one buffet (Fanes). Book à la carte early, though last-minute spots sometimes open. Food was exceptional—some of the best we’ve had. Breakfast at Fourni (reservation required) was great. Big thanks to Masari staff for the sweet birthday gesture! Activities & Nightlife: The beach is a 5-minute walk. We enjoyed the pools, bars, and activities like yoga, ceramics, and cooking classes—book early at the guest experience desk. The ceramic workshop with Theo was a highlight. Evenings were relaxed with live music and an outdoor cinema (free popcorn!). A few more entertainment options would be nice. Staff & Overall: Staff were warm, helpful, and made our stay extra special. Highly recommended for a relaxing, high-quality escape!

The best hotel we have ever stayed in so far. Walking around the hotel the grounds are beautiful, the room was lovely - we paid for the cheapest room and ended up with a gorgeous sea view! Food was the best. We went all inclusive and the lunch and snacks were like restaurant food, not your typical lunch buffet/quick snacks you normally get at an all inclusive. The breakfast was also very nice. The buffet dinner was good, but there wasn’t much variety of meat. We did only eat there one night though, so perhaps the variety was less limited other days. The room service breakfast was amazing. The room service and the mini bar was all completely free - which isn’t usually the case for many all inclusives, there’s usually a few extra charges. The drinks were proper drinks, very well made, not too weak or strong like most all inclusives do. Private beach with comfy sun loungers, sun loungers around the pool were comfy. There was a lot of pools to choose from and you could always get a sun bed. Complimentary beach bag and towels. Not much walkable outside of the hotel but both Rhodes town and Lindos are very easy and quick to get to by car or bus. Perfect hotel if you’re into your wood / neutral decor, love good food and drinks and relaxing. Would 100% recommend and we will be back.

This place was exceptional, it boasts of 5 star luxury and it was absolutely right! Stunning pools with outstanding views. The staff were unbelievable running hand and foot. Highly highly recommend this place, paradise and 18 mins from the old town, 10 mins from Anthony Quinn bay. Exceptional!!!

Fabulous hotel with lovely staff. Had some complication with late check out which required 3 trips to reception as the manager was not available for 2 days. The spa was great but the hotel did not recognise the discount I had and which required a call to Expedia to confirm.

Superb hotel, some of the bar service was a bit slow even though it was quiet but a great hotel. Michael was a massive help and a credit to the hotel, helping with baggage, giving us lifts across the complex and just being a great guy. Thank you Michael and to the Elissa hotel

We had the best holiday here. Way above our expectations. We arrived about 30 mins before our check in and was shown around and given a drink We went all inclusive and was definitely the right decision. There’s a buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and snack bars for lunch either at the pools or at one of the al a cart restaurants (same menu). With all inclusive you have the option of having a try of each of the 3 al a carte restaurants on site, and the service and portions are huge. All inclusive also included all drinks. The buffet restaurant was very fancy, and had a wide range of choice, mostly Greek food which changed daily. Our room was beautiful and overlooked the sea. It was cleaned every day and the free mini bar was restocked daily. Right on the beach (which is a bit stoney), pools and sun beds were clean and tidy. Towels were provided. Hotel location was great - we took a bus to the old town one day and spent a few hours there and had lunch. Another day we hired a car from the Independent Car Hire place opposite the hotel complex (very good) and went to Lindos which had a beautiful golden sand beach, and then visited seven springs and a few archaeological sights on the way home. We only hired the car for one day - there was a car park at the hotel but was always quite busy. Really lovely hotel, would recommend

everything was amazing such a nice place but the gym is very small for the size of the hotel, and there's no jacuzzi or SPA what its a bummer for a place adults only and with 15 swimming pools ... they offer a spa on the sister hotel but you have to pay extra for a day pass, what's not ok.

Wir waren das zweite Mal hier und sind leider etwas enttäuscht worden. Die Auswahl an Speisen sowie die Qualität des Essens hat sich gegenüber des letzten Jahres stark verändert (verschlechtert). Der Service war ebenfalls sehr eingeschränkt, hier einige Beispiele: An der Pool Bar 1,5 Stunden auf ein Panini gewartet, angebotene Weine nicht verfügbar, 4-5 Gerichte des Menüs nicht verfügbar, Zimmer wurde nur auf Nachfrage gereinigt und dabei vergessen, die Minibar aufzufüllen. Wir waren im Restaurant Fourni (Fleischrestaurant) essen und haben zwei Mal ein T-Bone Steak bestellt, das leider beide Male vollkommen übergart war, sodass man die Hälfte wegschmeißen musste, was uns in der Seele wehgetan hat. Einziger Lichtblick an den Tagen war die Kellnerin Georgia, die wirklich alles versucht hat um den Abend zu retten. Im Großen und Ganzen ein schönes Hotel mit guter Speise- und Getränkekarte, leider allerdings weit weg von einem 5* Hotel wenn man solch einen Standard aus anderen Urlauben gewohnt ist.

Everything was amazing, excellent service, excellent hotel, recommended

A relaxing stay, room was clean and comfortable. It can be noisy but overall pretty quiet (we went there off-season). Restaurants are good if you don't want to bother going out of the resort. Spa is decent although quite small. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Location is handy with easy reach to Rhodes town but also to the south of the island.

We had a fantastic stay at Elissa. We visited in October, so the hotel was lovely and quiet, perfect for our couples holiday. The private beach was beautiful - we spent lots of time there! Breakfast was delicious. Our room and the entire hotel grounds were clean and well maintained.

Beautiful hotel, very quiet and chilled. Lovely little escape for a mini moon. Loved our stay and staff were very friendly. Plenty of entertainment, such as live singer, DJ and outdoor cinema. We also enjoyed the indoor pool, sauna & stem room for an additional cost. Room very aesthetically pleasing, we had sharing pool very peaceful and clean.

The resort has a feel of an American hotel. It doesn’t have the warmth and vibe of a Mediterranean hotel. It’s great if you’re a business man or if you want to rest and have tranquility. The grounds are well run and very quiet. For a hotel of that caliber the service was unsatisfactory to me. It’s run by young employees being trained in very specific tasks and an assembly line of service , each having training for their job. So the person serving you drinks couldn’t answer questions about food. They are very kind and respectful but I didn’t find them knowledgeable enough or able to help. The food is delicious, the dining area is clean and the grounds are very picturesque.

Check in very slow , left on the terrace for an hour and forgotten about. Service very slow in all bars. Waited 20 mins for a cappuccino and a cocktail most days. Cleanliness mainly very good but other than the main pool the other pools where not cleared of drinks etc. buffer in the main restaurant was poor food rarely warm. Couldn’t eat in the themed restaurants as fully booked when we were there. Room was ok but had to be asked to be moved , our room looked onto another resort with booming music most of the day , the terraces are so close together if people smoke there is no escape. None of the terraces in the junior suites have any sun during the day so not worth the extra money.

All staff were very kind and polite, more than happy to help us with anything. The hotel itself is beautiful and the quality of food especially at the two a la carte restaurants was amazing. Would definitely recommend

The property is beautiful and all over clean, the breakfast buffet is huge and very yummy. The only concern is the beach, as the Elissa Hotel is an adults only, i do expect that from the „private beach“ as well, which is not really the case. The beach is shared with 2 other hotels, where childern are allowed. the families dont respect the rules and placed themself on „our“ side, which was annoying and loud. The Staff didnt do much about it.

Great resort with brilliant food and drink. Just a shame I booked a room with a pool to find I was sharing the pool with families with children. I assumed booking adults on resort really meant all the way throughout the resort. Staff on the front desk aren’t very helpful as they don’t explain facilities well ect and booking restaurants.
