Overall Ratings & Reviews Elissa Adults-Only Lifestyle Beach Resort

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.

The location is best The environment perfect The spa and facilities great

Definitely not an adults only hotel as I saw a few kids and even a crying new born. House keeping was not good at all. Bed was never properly made, shower gel ran out, a glass I got from the bar on the first night of my stay remained in the room until the end of my stay. Room never felt fresh when returning after house keeping had attending. House keeping sometimes did not come until after 3pm. We left, went in a boat trip and came back and the room still hadn’t been cleaned or tidied with fresh towels which as you can imagine is quite annoying. When checking out, no one offered to collect our bags. No irons in room and you had to pay per item, if you called in the morning and wanted to get your items back by evening you had to pay extra for express service. Around the pool no one comes to ask for your orders. You have to go to the bar yourself. We opted for half board. What they fail to tell you is that you can only eat at (Fanes) one restaurant but you have to pay for your own drinks (including juices and soft drinks) at dinner. if you want to eat at the reservation restaurants you get a credit of €20 to spend which doesn’t cover much. There doesn’t seem to be enough parking. We had to park on the side of the buildings almost every night. Food options are okay. But could be better. A lot of things missing from this hotel that doesn’t reflect 5 star. Which is unfortunate considering the hotel was not cheap.

Goated

Great hotel!

Staff and service at the pool was a top class.

Hotel and facilities are great.

Amazing places for staying specially for adults only. We really enjoy and we will come back again for sure

Our family of four, including two teenagers, had a fantastic stay at Elissa Adults Only Lifestyle Resort. The hotel is stunning, with clean, well-maintained facilities and beautiful views. The staff were very helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. We enjoyed the variety of pools, never having trouble finding available sun loungers. The night bar was a great spot to unwind with excellent musicians, although service was sometimes slow. Dining at the sushi restaurant for a birthday celebration was a highlight, with delicious food and a lovely ambiance. While the hotel’s food and drinks are on the expensive side, renting a car allowed us to explore and dine in the charming old town, just a 10-minute drive away. The old town’s bustling atmosphere, with plenty of dining and shopping options, was a delightful contrast to the quieter hotel surroundings. A visit to Lindos and the Acropolis, a 50-minute drive, is highly recommended. Despite a couple of minor issues with pool cleanliness and late check-out arrangements, our stay at Elissa was enjoyable. For those who like to explore, bed and breakfast with a car rental is the way to go.

Great place to stay for a relaxing couples holiday. Fully recommend!

Very nice resort, loved the room and the facilities. Food was also great, just would be better to have a little more than 20 euros allowance for the al carte restaurants for half board people. But otherwise 9/10 definitely recommend.

A nice resort with spacious rooms. We liked the concept of the separate zones with a few rooms around a pool. The cleanliness of the rooms and pool areas were slightly lacking, for example the mirror was dirty upon arrival (someone had been putting their sun cream on and sprayed it on there), also there was a tissue stuffed in a door handle, shower gel was empty, no tv remote, amongst other small things that you wouldn’t expect. The pools themselves were clean but a couple of sunloungers were damaged and the beans from them were spilling everywhere and empty drinks were often not cleared all day. It was also very slow to get a coffee in the mornings at breakfast. The resort is quiet, which we enjoyed but we did have a hire car so that we could visit Lindos/Rhodes and beaches and although we saw bus stops I think a hire car would be necessary to reach most places. Overall the complex is nice, the gardens are nice, the breakfast was nice, the rooms are spacious and it was fine for a 4 night break. We went in May and so it was a very good deal but I’m not sure I would want to pay peak prices for my stay.

Such a lovely hotel, nothing within walking distance but the old town is 10 minutes away! Also if you order room service there’s a €5 charge per order which I didn’t know! Been there twice now and loved it, so many pool options and the staff are lovely and so is the food x
