Gennadi Grand Resort in Gennadi

This is not a typical guest impression — this is a professional and honest review from someone who worked here in 2022 in Guest Relations, at the Reception desk, and as a hostess in the main restaurant. I know this hotel from the inside. In 2025 I returned as a guest, and I can confirm: the quality, atmosphere, and standards remain excellent. Arrival & Reception Warm welcome, fast and smooth check-in, professional communication. International reception team, elegant uniforms, confident and polite staff. You immediately feel the level of hospitality and training. Room I stayed in a Sea View room with a private pool. Perfectly clean, quiet, fresh, maintained to a very high standard. No signs of wear — everything looks and feels cared for. Housekeeping works accurately and attentively, just like I remember from my time here. Dining High service standards, organized and calm team, good food quality. A special highlight: Tasos, my former manager, arranged a complimentary dinner in the Greek à-la-carte taverna and a bottle of excellent wine. A thoughtful, personal touch that I truly appreciate. Staff & Hotel Culture I was happy to see many familiar staff members still working here — and some who have grown into higher positions. This says a lot about the atmosphere, management, and the hotel’s values. Staff here are trained and supported, and it reflects in guest experience. Conclusion I have seen this hotel from two sides — as part of the staff and now as a guest. And I can confidently say: Gennadi Grand Resort maintains high standards, strong service culture, and excellent hospitality. I returned — and I would return again.

What a wonderful place. Stunning scenery Fantastic and friendly service Amazing facilities Excellent food and wine Suspect I may be back

Hard to fault tbh,Only negative was pools too cold at this time in October realise probably fine earlier in Season,Staff are excellent, food is excellent so is service,spotless clean. Special mention to Elle in Grand bar and Alex and his staff in the spa but Thanks to all Staff,If only Carlsberg made hotels.

I was a bit skeptical at first about the location, since it’s further away from the town of Rhodes, but I actually loved that it was separated from the noise and crowds. If you rent a car, it’s perfect - you can easily drive around and explore the island. The hotel itself exceeded my expectations. We were welcomed with a drink and even driven to our room, which was a lovely touch. The rooms are fantastic - spotlessly clean, quiet, and equipped with everything you could possibly need (even a private pool!). It’s the kind of place that really helps your nervous system unwind. Although the hotel was supposedly fully booked, we barely noticed any crowds because the grounds are so spacious. Both the breakfast and dinner buffets were wonderful - make sure you try the shakshouka! The beach and pool areas were just as impressive. Honestly, this was the first hotel stay where we didn’t have a single small complaint. Everything was just right.

A very modern hotel with an ergonomic layout, everything almost timelessly dimensioned, so there is no problem with deck chairs by the sea, pool, drinks and food can be ordered by the sea and by the pool electronically, which a lot of people really use, so there are no queues at the bar. And not even in the high season - we were there in July and then then at the end of August and the beginning of September, the atmosphere was always very relaxing. Nice and very helpful staff. A large number of different bars and restaurants and various corners where you can sit in peace. Excellent and quality food with a large selection, including fish. No high-rise buildings, the hotel is architecturally sensitively set to the country. Carefully maintained gardens where they grow a lot of Herbs. You don't have to wear any bracelet here - you only need to say the room number everywhere. You don't have to throw used toilet paper into the trash, as in the vast majority of other Greek hotels. And there are no other hotels near the hotel, and there is actually no city So hotel and public beaches seem half empty. The hotel is about 2 hours away from the airport bus trips, but it's worth it.

Nice resort, a lot of facilities for both adults and kids. Quiet area, nice people. Bus station in front of the resort Beach with small stones

Lovely hotel, excellent service, modern and lavish decor, seamless check-in and check-out, well-organised gym (max. 6 people at a time), delicious food, live violin or piano music at breakfast, half-empty infinity swimming pools. And yes, hats off to the Wet Bar guys! What a team! Incredibly fast, efficient and friendly, and always with a smile. We had a junior suite with a private pool, the room was spacious and clean... The only reason why I am not grading my overall experience as 'excellent' is that the beach is surrounded by monstrous heaps of concrete slabs (probably from demolition works in the past; the mere sight of them was saddening). The resort has a mini shop which sells almost everything at very reasonable prices (open from 08:00 until 22:30, at least when we were there).

We loved this hotel and would come back for sure!!!!

As a family of four (kids aged 13 and 9) we truly loved our 9 night stay at Gennadi Grand Resort in August, rating it as one of the best resorts we’ve been to. The staff were lovely and engaging, food delicious and a good selection on offer through out the day. Our room, a two bedroom suite with pool, was spacious, clean and relaxing and we had no significant issue with noise despite being centrally located. The activities were fun, varied and good quality and catered for all our needs (tennis, table tennis, different yoga sessions, small gym, darts, aqua tabata, waterpolo, boat hire, astronomy night and gaming nights for the kids). The general vibe was chilled, chic, easy going and calm. Pool and beach areas were comfortable and well maintained and you could find a space at poolside or at the beach at anytime of the day. The surrounding area offered beautiful hillside and sea views and sunrise was stunning. It was a hot but easy walk to Gennadi, where there was a good selection of bars and restaurants (Kourkoutavlos offered great pre dinner drinks and Mama’s Kitchen served delicious Greek dishes). We also hired a car to explore the more untouched southern part of the island. Negatives would be the use of single use plastic, questionable recycling and lack of water refill stations. Also the resorts sun lounger policy wasn’t adhered to, which encouraged guests to refrain from occupying a sun lounger before 10am and not leave items on loungers unattended for more than 30 minutes. This meant reserving sun loungers by the main pool early. We didn’t have any hassle in relation to this as we were pretty fluid about where we based ourselves at the resort but it has the potential to cause frustration. If I had the opportunity to stay here again I wouldn’t hesitate and I’m keen to look into alternative Lindos resorts. Thank you for a great holiday.

This is a truly lovely resort. It has something for everyone. The beach is on property with the clearest water I have ever seen. Lots of fish and beautiful sunsets. The food here is really good. Fresh, quality ingredients prepared by experienced chefs. I went all inclusive and it was totally worth it. With an incredible buffet and lots of other restaurants there was plenty to choose from and after a two week stay I am still excited about my next meal! They have a daily yoga program with sunrise yoga on the beach, meditation and tons of other things. There is a beach volleyball court, water sports (I tried paddle boarding and loved it), tennis courts and a well equipped gym. I travelled with my brother and his young family and they went to the kids club every other day and had a blast. The layout of the resort is peaceful and feels very open and close to nature. The individual pool option looks amazing. If I come back (which I hope to) I will definitely splurge! The rooms are clean and well appointed. Everything you might need. I did a day trip into Rhodes Old Town, which was well worth it. They have a number of different tours and trips available for people that want to do more than hang out on the resort. Saving the best for last, it is the team here that make this a truly special place. They are happy to see you, kind and smiley. I felt welcome wherever I was on site and whoever I was speaking with. From the incredibly helpful front desk team, to the amazing people in the beach bar, the pool team, to the cleaners, this made the holiday for me. A real 5* rating from me!
