St. Nicholas Beach

Food very good, staff very friendly, entertainment ok, room we stayed in requires refurbishment however we had a very enjoyable stay

We wanted an all inclusive hotel for our holiday as we had younger children and wanted them to be able to try a variety of different foods. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The water park is small but doesn’t open until 10, so there’s no issue around sunbed hogging. The hotel has two pools. A large rectangular one at the front, with around ten beds, and another at the back with an island and snack bar. This one is where all the daytime entertainment is. Consequently, this area is loud and hectic throughout the day. So we spent our time between the water park and the quiet pool at the front. Much more peaceful, but no nearby access to snacks/drinks, so you do have to go back to the noisier pool for this. Food was good and varied each day, although it could be very busy at times. However, we had a wonderful time here. My only real criticism is the checking out procedure. You have to check out at 11 and at this point they cut off your wristbands and tell you that access to the all inclusive food/drink is off. I have not come across this before and feel it was very mean-spirited, given that nobody really gets a full 1st day anyway, and it would only be until we were collected to go to the airport, and that everyone there has paid a not-insignificant amount of money to be there in the first place. Other than that, it is a lovely little hotel in a lovely part of the world.

The hotel was great from start to finish, the staff are really friendly, especially the staff who manage the restaurant. They couldn’t do enough for us and were so excellent with our toddler. The rooms were lovely and clean, good air con and cleaned daily with new towels. There is also the option to rent pool towels for a cost of €10 pp which was very useful as meant we didn’t need to bring any from home. The food was excellent, so much choice and all of it was fresh & hot. The buffet changed every day and it was all delicious. So much choice & something for everyone. We were a party of 5 and all enjoyed every meal. The only thing we weren’t too keen on was the snack bar food around the pool but that didn’t matter as there was plenty of choice for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Very close to the town, many super markets and some gorgeous beaches 15 minute walk away. The hotel also booked us taxis which were very quick and reasonably priced for trips into Lindos and Lardos. Overall we had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend! Thank you White Olive
