Apollo Blue

What an amazing hotel!
Service was the best.
Rooms - super clean and well maintained.
Food - amazing ,versatile, fresh , at some point it looks and tatsed like we are in a high-level restaurant and not in a hotel buffet!
Im vegan , and the staff ensured every breakfest and dinner to walk me throughout the buffet, showing me what's vegan and what's not. Plus, they coocked specially for me a vegan substitute. ( and even vegan magnum for desert)
The pool and beach area are very accessible and well maintained.

I have 2 cons i think can be prooved to upgrade the stay eve more:
1. The all-inclusive part is not so successful. As it is not a classic "all-inclusive" hotel. there is not much verity of the food and drinks, and they and not self serviced. Personally, i would choose HB or FB next time
2. The main pool has a similar depth, all around 1.2-1.3m, so it is not that comfortable for kids under 1.2 cm in height. But not a deal breaker.

The overall stay of 5 nights was unforgettable, if will be back in Rhodes will defiantly go back to Apollo.

Thank you for making our vacation so great.

Second time staying at this fabulous hotel. It's in the perfect location for us, quiet but within easy walking distance of amenities.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped rooms and all the amenities (gym, spa, WiFi, multiple pools) you could wish for.

All of the staff working here are amazing whether that's at reception, in the restaurants and bars, or, the teams who clean and take care of the grounds.

We were half board and cannot fault the breakfast or dinner buffets. There was always a great selection of food, freshly made and, piping hot.

If you wanted to purchase food or drinks during the day these were available in a variety of venues throughout the hotel.

I'd highly recommend a stay at the Apollo Blue

We enjoyed 2 weeks at Apollo Blue and we had a relaxing time.
Although it has old furniture and could use a refresh, the room was very comfortable, large enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. Lots of storing space and with everything you need. Daily room cleaning was done. We stayed at ground floor, very close to pool and restaurants and it was great! In 5 steps we were in the pool.

The pool is extremely large, more than it’s needed, I’d say. This means it’s never busy and you have enough space to swim. Jacuzzi was highly appreciated. Sunbeds are also enough - we never had to “reserve” one early morning!

Beach is close - you need to go through a nice field of grass. Fine sand, slow and long walk into the sea, no stones. Waters were very clean and clear and we could see crabs and fish.

Breakfast was diverse and delicious, coffee was strong and tasty. Lunch however was a big disappointment! Not enough variety for specially for kids (no grilled meat, chicken or fish were not served daily). Snacks lacked completely, especially fresh fruits. We would have expected more fruits available at all times (considering all inclusive and 5 stars!)
Beach and pool bars were great - with all inclusive you have access to a large variety of cocktails ( with or without alcohol).
Dinner was nice - enough variety, but again with little choices in terms of grilled meat or fish. Although you can drink as much sparkling wine as you want as part of AI, you have to pay for it at dinner (strange!)
If food is not acceptable for you, there are many taverns and restaurants within 10 mins walk.
Live music almost every night (piano, sax, jazz, opera even).
Absolutely no activities for kids - there is a games room, but that’s a joke, considering the little choice of games and the fact that you had to pay for them. No slides, no kids park, no animators … nothing! However there is an entertainment center 5 mins walk where kids can play bowling or minigolf (and many others we didn’t try).

All in one I would recommend this hotel - very nice service and staff.

Hospitality at an extremely high level! We arrived at 01:00 at night - the receptionist offered us food even though the restaurant was closed, for which we are very grateful! The hotel is comfortable, on the beach front, well maintained, with very kind and smiling staff. It offers a large parking lot as well as car rentals.
The pools are well maintained and some of the rooms also have private pools.

We stayed here from the 6th to the 13th of April 2024 with an all-inclusive package. We arrived at the reception around lunchtime and were greeted with an efficient and welcoming staff team. They checked us in and took our luggage to our room, so we could make our way to their Taverna Blue restaurant for lunch.

The location is outstanding - the beach is just past the pool and the town is a short walk down the beach or down the road. It was so easy to wander and see everything locally.

Our room was 253 - a junior suite that shares one of the pools with the other rooms on that row. It was sea facing, overlooking the Wine Bar. Honestly, the room was perfect for our needs as a family of 4 - children aged 10 and 14. It had single beds made into a double for us, and the children had a bed armchair each. All were spotlessly clean and comfy. The room was cleaned every day and it was not tired or dated as other reviewers have suggested. There was a sliding door which could close off the two sections of the room, if desired. Also, a lovely patio area through a glass door, which led to the pool. We had a patio set, loungers and parasol, reserved to us with our room number - so no scramble to reserve them ! The room was in the reception / spa area of the complex near everything. It wasn't noisy - which was ideal for us. The patio door provided great sound proofing from the pool area.

We ate breakfast and dinner in the main restaurant. There was always a very wide selection of food - fresh fish, various meats and the usual pasta options. Food was cooked there to see, and it was great for our children, who were able to try all sorts of new foods. Lunches were either a buffet in the Taverna Blue, or freshly made, made to order pizza from the sister hotel's outside pizza oven. Drinks were available all day from various bars, we loved the beach bar, reception bar and the pool bar.

The pools were spotlessly maintained and in perfect repair. They were never overrun either - but it is hard to know whether they will be busier later in the season.

The staff were lovely in all areas - from the minute we arrived, to the moment we left, we were very well looked after. Special mention to Jannis, the most patient and accommodating waiter ! He served us our drinks for many of our meals and was very good at his job. Kiki at the beach bar was always smiling and happy to engaged with our children at the beach bar.

All in all, it was a fabulous week. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Faliraki. We didn't spot a single other hotel as nice as ours !

Sleeping in one room for a family with two kids is not very convenient. Service, breakfast and dinner however was great. Faliraki is not a real city, very loud and not pretty. Garbage all around.

My family and me had the pleasure of visiting this great hotel during the summer of 2023.
Despite our initial hiccup – a booking mishap on our end, reserving a garden view room instead of the seaside view that typically includes complimentary airport transportation – the hotel staff showed remarkable responsiveness and understanding. To our surprise, they graciously provided free transfer from airport anyway, demonstrating an amazing dedication to ensuring their guests' satisfaction. This thoughtful gesture significantly increased our overall comfort from the very start. Upon arrival, we were greeted with an unexpected bonus: our rooms were upgraded to ones featuring private garden pool, adding an extra layer of luxury to our stay.
While the accommodations were slightly below the anticipated standard for a 5-star establishment, they still offered a cozy retreat. The minor discrepancy in quality was easily overshadowed by the positive aspects of our upgraded rooms.
The all-inclusive package ensured a vast array of food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even our picky son found plenty of choices for each meal, which was a pleasant surprise. The à la carte dinner and complimentary drinks from the pool bar added a touch of luxury, and the option to use the pizza stand at the sister hotel next door was a convenient and tasty bonus.
The hotel's environment offers a well-balanced blend of relaxation and convenience. With a main pool and a separate one for children, as well as its own part of the beach, we could easily choose where to unwind without the need for extensive travel.
We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of entertainment options, including concerts and different musical performances. These added another layer of enjoyment to the warm evenings, complementing the already great atmosphere created by the hotel's surroundings.
Special mention must be made of the outstanding and friendly staff. Daily small talk and the extra attention given to the kids further enriched our stay. The overall experience at this 5-star all-inclusive hotel was exceptional, largely thanks to the staff's commitment to guest satisfaction and the numerous positive surprises throughout our stay.
We are greatly looking forward to spending time there during the summer 2024 again.

We were 3 generations from 4yrs to 70yrs ,..we all had fun. The pools are fun and the beach is only a few 100m at the rear of the hotel with a changing chalet and toilets beside the beach bar. Food was varied and excellent...the staff were very friendly and they all took care to greet you and check all was well. The aqua aerobics was great fun. We hired a van for the 8 of us to visit Rhodes old town and Kamiros..but we returned to the Apollo for meals ... and to cool off!

Best hotel in Rhodes
Super convenient facilities for the kids.
Highly recommended to book a ground floor room in front of the pool.
Good service!
Good food ( we took an all inclusive package and everyone kid & adults are very happy of that dissection)
Very nice beach!
Location is great, near to all the nicest beaches and town of Faliraki
Even so the hotel is fully booked you don’t feel it.
Most important value for money 10/10
