Lindos Gardens Reviews

Lindos Gardens is a nice quiet complex of self catering apartments. None are very far from a pool. Cleaniness is good although the maid could do with changing her mop water a bit more often. There is Tennis and crazy golf although in August it is too hot to use them. The bar is very nice and the food is on par with local tavernas. Drinks are a bit expensive with cokes at 2.40 euros as is a small beer. So a family of four could easily spend 40 euros in a day. With the avaerage meal in Lindos costing around 60 euros it means that (as at August 2010) you are easily spending 100 euros a day on essentials.

We have just returned from an amazing weeks stay at the Lindos Gardens.

I was told by a friend of mind who had stayed here last year that it was very hilly,when you arrive they take you luggage and yourself up in a golf buggy. But after finding a lift half way up the hill, it made our walk abit easier,as our studio was opposite the Infinity pool, which i must say was breath taking looking out to the Acropolis. Our studio was very clean,spotless bathroom (have been to other Greek islands and just been a hole in the floor).cooking facilities basic, but enough to make breakfast/lunch, kettle,fridge,but no toaster. The maid came every day to clean the room.clean towels everyday.

Fabian and Jack behind the bar so lovely,as all the staff, nothing is a trouble to them. This definately won't be our last time to the Lindos Gardens or Lindos.

my husband and i stayed here for a week june 2010.we had the best time ever!the staff are great the location is stunning,our balcony view was breathtaking.i would highly recommend the place,but if you do have walking difficulties it can be tricky.lindos village is beautiful with excellent bars and resturants ,all the locals are friendly and speak great english.hopefully we will go back next year !

we stayed there in june 2010 not very clean wild cats lying around pool area. friends room had mouse droppings in it . staff very friendly

The staff were more than helpful at our resort. The location was excellent, as we weren't in a too touristy place and was only a 15 minute walk into the village of Lindos. The food was a bit too expensive, but we went into the village everynight. All in all the hotel was great!

quite good apartments. the view is beautiful, it is quite high up. it has a really nice pool, and some nice grounds that are well looked after. the owners make you feel very welcome. the town isn't too far away, we would go back.

We stayed for 2 weeks in October 2009 and would definitely go back. The rooms were very basic but that's what you expect in Greece, especially self catering. They were cleaned every day and we were given new towels and bedding at least twice each week. The staff are really friendly and reception is manned 24 hours on Weds & Sats when flights are arriving and departing. There are two adult pools and three childrens pools, all very clean and well maintained. Air con did seem expensive at the time but was well worth it with having a small child in the room. However, the heat wasn't overbearing with it being late in the season so you may be able to get away with not paying for it. Safety deposit boxes are available which are well worth the money. The average bar meal prices were about 8 euros but the centre of Lindos is only a ten minute walk away so there is plenty of choice. There are also two supermarkets within a 5 minute walk. Having a toddler daughter, we were a bit concerned by the reviews about how hilly the resort is and how the accommodation itself is built into the hillside but to be honest you get used to it after a few days and it's only a few minutes' hard work at a time. Would definitely recommend taking a pushchair though! The only thing we weren't very happy about was that there was only one highchair at the pool bar!

We loved our 2 week stay at Lindos Gardens it is in an ideal location at the top of the hill to Lindos village so its the nearest place you can stay to the village that has a pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the air con was 45euros per week, drinks in the bar were 3.40 for a large beer to 5euros for a long drink (with a very large measure!). We stayed half board but you can pay for breakfast 9euros per day or 6euros if you have 3 or more days. well worth the money as its all you can eat buffet with english fry up, fruit cocktail, toast, cakes, muesli as well as different juices and teas. The evening meals were fabulous although it was a set menu so we ate out on the nights we didnt fancy it. They do for example to start a greek salad, then starters of stuffed peppers/tomatoes, then moussaki or souvlaki then dessert. we were stuffed every night! They have a free fruit buffet on a friday night followed by a band called Touché who were a bit cheesy. On Monday they have a bbq & Karaoke but thats about it for entertainment. The 5 pools were all exceptionally clean and nice and you can order bar snacks/drinks to eat beside them. Our room was up a steep slope then into a lift for the final 3 floors which didnt always work so not really suitable for older people or anyone with trouble walking! But it did have a fabulous view of the acropolis. The maids came every day to clean and make the beds, the kitchen had a basic hob with utensils. They also had internet in the bar 50c for 5 mins.

We stayed in the middle block halfway up the hill adjacent to the inifinty pool. The rooms were basic but nicely furnished but due to having dark metal doors and no blackout blinds were very hot a night (and very sunny at 5am!) Unfortunatley the Air con is 69Euro per week which we thought given the current exchange rate a bit expensive. The kitchenette had a fridge, kettle and two rings and basic utensils. Because Lindos is one of the more expensive resorts it would have been nice to have been able to make breakfasts / lunch in the apt but we were limited due to its simpleness. I know not everyone wants to cook on holiday but at 9euro per person for a small breakfast in the hotel and an average of 45E for a 2 course meal and ltr of wine for two people, it would come in handy. The maid and porterage service was second to none and the staff were extremely friendly. The hotel hires out laptops for you to use in your apt or by the pool as it has wireless internet. The location is at the top of the main entrance to Lindos adjacent to the Lindos Horizon studios and the Eleni apts. All are a good 10 minute walk up the steep hill from Lindos. The drinks bar and main bar charge around 4E per pint of local beer and 4.5e to 5.5e for a long drink. Prices in Lindos town are the same as it is a major day tripper stop off. Honestly if you want good package holiday to Lindos there are only really about 5 main hotels to choose from with everything else being small boutique style or major 5 star out in the hills. For me if I was to return I would look at Lindos Gardens or Horizons or up a notch at Lindos Blu and Lindos Mare.

The apartment was basic but had everything you required. The reception and bar area was very modern stylish and clean. The staff were all very friendly. Our apartment was slightly new at the higher end of the complex overlooking the infinity pool and the views of the acropolis and the sea was spectacular.

The walk up to the top apartments was steep and would not suit everyone.

Our apartment location was at the top end of the complex, we felt that this was better than those adjacent to reception and certainly was the case on karaoke/event evenings.

Air conditioning is available at an extra cost of 11 euros per day or 63 euros per week.

Late check out was also available at an extra cost of about 3 euros per hour up until 10pm.

lindos gardens is the best hotel i have ever stoped in. I was on my honeymoon and we was there for a week . The apartmeants where really nice the swimming pools where excellent and the staff where great. Lindos it self was really nice as well and the sea was nothing i have seen before. The only down side is the price for food and drink was high but it makes up for it in stunning views and friendly people.

Lovely complex of apartments that were spread out over a large area clinging to the side of a steep hill. In temparatures of more than 40 degrees it felt like a cliff face! There is a lift that takes you some of the way up but if you struggle getting around you would need to let them know that you need a room nearer the ground floor. Staff were all very pleasant. Our water went off twice but as soon as we let them know it was sorted. Prices for drinks and food were quite high and on the day we left the air con charge rose from 49 euros for the week to 69 euros for the week. Have to say that although our room was in the highest block the view was stunning as we overlooked the Acropolis. To walk onto the balcony each morning and see it was fantastic. They held a BBQ night which we didnt attend but we did go to the Friday fruit buffet. For 4 euros you got 2 souvlaki,tomato,pitta and tzatziki and then a complementary fruit buffet with entertainment from Fillipo. There were enough pools and sun loungers to go round but I wouldnt know if this would still be the case at the busiest times of July and August. I would definitely stay there again as apart from the prices I couldn't fault the place.

Just arrived back from Lindos Gardens after 2 weeks. A lovely place to stay, owners, staff, &c very friendly and helpful. Weather perfect, a bit too hot in the second week but we cooled off in the infinity pool (perfect), which also had a bar. The bar and snack bar in reception were very comfortable with friendly staff. The snacks a bit ordinary, burgers, omelettes, &c. The usual karaoke and BBQ on Fridays with free fruit buffet on Mondays. The hill into Lindos Village was pretty steep and we thought quite dangerous - the mad taxi drivers who do not give enough room when passing pedestrians - so we tended to catch the free bus during the day and at night used the road from the Lindos Reception Bar. Very handy for supermarkets (3), two restaurants (both good) and the bus stop was just outside the Flora Supermarket at the top of the hill, so quite easy to hop on the bus to Rhodes or go further down the coast to Pefkos (a lot cheaper prices there)! We went on the Greek Night (thought it was a rip-off), also on the Jeep Safari (quite good but not a patch on the one in Crete last year), also a bit expensive (about �£50 each). If you go to Symi make sure you are not sailing on the Ferry Boat, it just isn't the same as arriving at this beautiful island on a smaller boat - just not the same atmosphere!

When we arrived we got taken in a taxi to our hotel and it didn't cost us because olympic were paying. The taxi driver let us stop and take pictures on the mountain side of lindos town which was absolutly gorgeous. We got to our apartments and they were very clean, very basic which we like and the weather was wonderful. Lindos town is gorgeous and i recommend you eat at a restaurant called mythos, which is were my auntie had her reception for her wedding because this was why we came to rhodes in the forst place for a wedding. Mythos has lovely food lovely people that work they and they can gaurantee you a good night! I also recommened a trip to St Pauls Bay! which is where my aunties wedding was and it is absolutly beautiful! Although the apartments bar was a bit expensive it was still a brilliant holiday and the gorgeous barman Nicos made it that bit special! All the staff are helpful and kind! because it was end of season we had a big pool party on the last day which was so much fun! that was probably one of the best days of the holiday because the weather wasn't to nice that day but a smile was put on eveyones faces! All i all a brilliant holiday!

We have just returned from our third stay at Lindos Gardens. It just gets better every year.

The new infinity pool at the top of the complex is very nice with an amazing view, and with a pool side bar up there as well makes things even better, Our studio was very close to the top pool which was great although a bit of a hike (there is a lift part of the way up) but we prefer to be up there because the view of the bay and acropolis is breathtaking. Vassilis and Valentina are always very helpful and welcome you to their complex (of which they work hard at every year to make even better) this year there were new staff all very good but I must mention Nickos the handsome barman and Nicki the English barmaid who was very friendly. The rooms we have stayed in have always been very nice and clean, basic but this is Greece, and although it is self catering I do not want to cook so it is enough for us. The Fruit night is always very good and this year they had a live band that was not too bad. The B.B.Q night is also a must with again this year an added attraction ";Karaoke"; From our first visit in 2004 so much more has been done to make your holiday enjoyable.

Lindos itself is just the best place I have ever been. Can't say enough about it. Also a must go to Pefkos and go to the Eclipse Bar this is out of this world. 2 big bars a pool with fountains we only went there in our last few days or we would have gone more times. All the restaurants we went too the food was very good I think you have to try as many as you can too many too mention. The bars we liked were 60's bar, Dreams bar, Court Yard bar.

I must go now as I am depressing myself only been back 3 days and can't wait to go again, I will just have to keep looking at the photos. Happy holiday.
