린디안 빌리지 비치 리조트 큐리오 컬렉션 바이 힐튼

We stayed at Lindian Village for 7 nights AL in a standard room at the end of September. As a couple we wanted a quiet, peaceful holiday with a good beach and sea + aesthetic design. As a travel manager I have to say something: 1. Although the hotel is not only for adults and there were families with children, it was a quite peaceful time with silence and no rush. 2. Food: there were reviews about not much variety in the food and it's true, but I would rather say if you expect to eat lobster, seafood and 10 meat dishes - it's not the best place. The food was very tasty, 1-2 meals of each type of meat + seafood + salads + desserts etc. We also went to 3 a la carte restaurants and enjoyed every one of them. They are worth coming out of the hotel (especially the Asian ones). The bars are also good. 3. Beach + sea: The beach itself is sandy and pebbly, the entrance to the sea is pebbly. If you are sensitive to this, it is better to buy special shoes. The sea is very clean and calm because of the small bay. The sun loungers are very comfortable and I particularly liked the lack of music on the beach. 4. The design of the hotel: You can feel the Mediterranean village atmosphere perfectly, there was some construction but it didn't bother. 5. Rooms: This part needs fixing. Although the photos on the website are clean and fresh, we had problems with the sewage, the shower and the poor drainage, which is why there was water in the bathroom all the time (we didn't inform the staff to fix it because it's not a big problem for us). It is also worth noting that our room had no door to the bathroom, the toilet was closed with a sliding door but there was no soundproofing. 6. Staff: Mostly English speaking, friendly, polite and helpful. 7. Experiences: We rented a car for 1 day with no deposit and went to the nearest town Lindos, visited a Greek restaurant recommended by the concierge and enjoyed it. Played tennis at the resort, went to the gym and did yoga. We also went on a motor yacht tour with Sabinas Watersports (they are located on the beach of the resort), price = quality, we loved it. *I wouldn't say this is a disco resort, it's more about peace and quiet.

We traveled as a family of three, with a one year old. We booked via Tui. Although this is a nice hotel, unfortunately we did not feel it was worth the premium price and rating. We stayed in a Bohemian Suite with private pool. There were multiple pros and cons, some of which I realise may differ depending on peoples needs: Pros- - The staff were all lovely; particularly the night manager and porter, who were very welcoming. Special mention to ?Sergios and staff at the Greek restaurant, who were very lovely and friendly. - The food was lovely; lots of salad and fish options albeit I can see why some people would find the buffet limiting compared to some all-inclusives. We were pleasantly surprised that the yummy truck was open, as the website suggested this wouldn’t be open until July. - The private pool was great; it was a decent size rather than a plunge pool, partially shaded and in the sun, with sun loungers qnd a table/chairs in the patio. - We only went to the main pool area once so can’t really comment, there seemed to be a good mix of loungers and bean bag loungers, and the kids pool was shallow which seemed really good for the little ones and building their confidence. Looked like the usual rush for loungers in the morning! - A lot of reviews have said it is quite remote; there is a decent shop on site and another convenience store just outside the hotel. In addition, there is a sandy beach just down from the hotel that looked popular with locals. There did appear to be bus services but we didn’t use this. Cons- - We specifically picked this hotel due to the availability of a baby club. We were only planning to put our son in for one half day, two at max, so that we could have a half day at the pool or spa. The online booking prior to arrival did not work. On arriving, we discovered that the baby club was 1-to-1 and there were only three caregivers to cover both baby and kids club. One baby had been booked in for the full week, and therefore we couldn’t even get a half day booked. We did use the babysitting service for one evening, which was great and Lauren was fab, but our son would have settled better if he had been able to have a half day to get to know them. - Although this is all-inclusive, snacks didn’t seem to be available until the ice-cream shop opened at 4pm, so we were having to use the snacks we had brought for our son. - Cocktails were limited to those on the menu and they wouldn’t deviate from this, e.g my husband asked for a Bloody Mary and they said they couldn’t do this. - Only one bar open during the day (at the pool) so this was always quite busy. At night, the bar by the main buffet was open. - Fixtures and fittings in the room were a bit worn- there was a plug socket that was falling apart, the toilet flush was a bit temperamental (although I realise this could be a general thing in Greece), and lights at time didn’t work, including the do not disturb light on the door. - A major con for us, which again I reali
