Venezia Resort Hotel Rhodes

Located at Faliraki Kalathies on Rhodes Island, Greece, the Venezia Resort Hotel is a prominent all-inclusive establishment offering lodging and a variety of facilities. Reviews from recent guests paint a picture of a hotel with many strengths, particularly in its cleanliness and dedicated staff, though some areas could benefit from refinement.

General Impressions & Ambiance ✨

Many guests describe their stay as a "fantastic" or "amazing holiday," with some already planning return visits. The resort itself is frequently noted for being spotless and very clean everywhere, contributing to a great atmosphere. However, there's a notable divergence in opinion regarding the overall noise level and target audience. While some appreciate the lively environment, others find the animation team's music "blaring" from morning until evening, impacting the tranquility of the pool area and evening entertainment.

Accommodation: Rooms & Cleanliness 🛏️

The rooms at Venezia Resort are generally described as clean and tidy, with daily cleaning service. Guests found them comfortable, if sometimes basic or "small but big enough." A specific mention was made of a lovely and thorough cleaning lady who always had a smile. One minor design flaw noted was the shower, which tended to spray water all over the floor. Another guest experienced a disappointing lack of hot water and pressure for a late checkout shower, despite having paid for the extended room use.

Culinary Experience: Food & Drink 🍽️🍹

The all-inclusive offering receives mixed but generally positive feedback for its food. Many guests "loved the food in the restaurant and the pool bar," finding it good and always something to eat. The fresh pastries from a local vendor, especially the apple tart, were highlighted as amazing. However, some reviews mentioned the food being "pretty repetitive" and not always served as hot as it should be. A significant concern raised by one guest was the suspicion, later confirmed by a group member, that alcoholic drinks were watered down. Furthermore, the restaurant was observed to shut "bang on the dot," with staff taking food and drinks away before guests had finished. The pizza and gyros snack bar was generally well-received, although one reviewer found the male staff member at the gyros bar to be rude.

Facilities & Activities: Pools & Entertainment 🏊🎶

The resort boasts great and very clean pools, with guests generally able to secure sunbeds. The pool bar is also highly rated. The animation team's efforts divide opinions; while younger children enjoyed the evening entertainment, teenagers often found it boring, with suggestions for more teen-focused activities like billiard or air hockey competitions. The constant loud music from the animation team was a recurring complaint, with one guest wishing they could "happily taken [the whistle] off him!"

Staff & Service 👍

A consistent positive theme across reviews is the hotel staff. They are widely described as friendly, helpful, and hard working. The dedication of the cleaning staff was particularly praised. Despite some individual negative interactions mentioned (e.g., the gyros bar staff), the overall impression of the staff is overwhelmingly positive.

Location & Accessibility 📍

The hotel is situated a little out of the main town, requiring about a "half an hour walk downhill" to reach it. This might be a consideration for guests planning to frequently explore the town center on foot.

Overall Recommendation & Value for Money ✅

Venezia Resort Hotel Rhodes appears to be a strong contender for a family holiday, particularly for those with younger children who enjoy lively entertainment. The hotel's commitment to cleanliness and the general warmth of its staff are definite highlights. However, potential guests should be aware of the high noise levels from entertainment during the day and evening, the repetitive nature of some food, and the contentious issue of watered-down drinks. While many guests would return, some note a significant price increase for future bookings, which might impact its value proposition for certain travelers. The owners are encouraged to consider whether the hotel aims to be a "low class noisy hotel or a decent 4 star" and adjust accordingly to improve the guest experience.

Best holiday myself and my wife have been on, the rooms were clean and tidy, the resort it self was spotless. The drinks and food are what good expect on an all inclusive holiday. The fresh pastries that were brought in for a local vendor were amazing best apple tart I have ever tasted. The pools and pool area were clean and tidy, the pool bar was great as was the pizza and gyros snack bar. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Already booked again for next October.

maybe a 3 star or slightly less. rooms were basic but comfortable. pool area was really noisy - not thr guests but the animation team turned music up to blaring in the morning and it stayed at that level til 6pm. they even blew on a whistle while doing aqua aerobics and water polo. would have happily taken it off him! food was mostly edible but pretty repetitive and not as hot as it should've been. evening entertainment was more blaring music. one night they even used YouTube displayed on a big screen. we found a quiet area with a bar beside the restaurant where we could sit quietly and chat and play cards. We were all inclusive I suspected the included drinks were watered down and then member of my group saw them actually doing it. I'd rather have an ordinary measure of u watered alcohol than not know how much I'm drinking. On a positive note the staff were lovely. Friendly and hard working. the owners need to decide,whether they want this to be a low class noisy hotel or a decent 4 star. and act on it. wouldn't recommend

We stayed here for 2 weeks in August. 2 adults and 5 children ages 15, 15, 13, 10, 5. We absolutely loved it here and loved Rhodes. The people are wonderful. We were very happy with the all inclusive, food, service, rooms, pools, location. The resort and rooms are kept so well and clean. The lady who cleaned our rooms was just so lovely and thorough, really hard worker and she always had a smile on her face.Our only fault was that the teenagers did become a little bored and I noticed this across the resort in the evening. The younger kids loved the evening entertainment, myself and my husband enjoyed it, but the teens weren't interested at all. Maybe some teen focused events using the existing facilities could get them mixing and making friends for more fun during their stay.... evening billiard competition / air hockey / darts etc. Tough age though.Overall, we loved it and would return but the price for 2024 has significantly increased so won't be an option for now but we'll keep checking for deals.Thanks for a fantastic holiday.

I saw some bad reviews just before going and some were bad. My husband and I loved the food in the restaurant and the pool bar couldn't fault it and all staff were friendly. The pools were great and very clean.we did manage to get a sunbed. The only disappointing part was we paid 60 euros to keep our room till 6 pm because we had a late flight we had been to the pool went back to our room to get showered before our flight but there was no hot water or pressure which had not been the case all week so that was disappointing. All in all great hotel

Amazing holiday! Would definitely recommend! Very clean everywhere, great atmosphere. Restaurant food is good, always something to eat. A little out the way from town, it’s a half an hour walk downhill. Rooms are small but big enough, they’re cleaned everyday. Would stop here again!Cons - people constantly stomping and moving furniture upstairs till the early hours of the morning. - no fault of hotelThe shower design isn’t great, water gets all over the floor.The restaurant shuts bang on the dot and they come round taking your food and drink from you before you’ve finished.Male working on the gyros snack bar is rude, always annoyed whenever you ask him to make you something.
