Rating: 10/10 My wife and I embarked on our honeymoon journey to Calypso Beach Hotel in Rhodes from July 26th to August 5th, 2023, and what a journey it turned out to be! Initially seeking solace after an unexpected departure from another hotel, we stumbled upon this hidden gem that transformed our trip into an enchanting adventure. The Calypso Beach Hotel immediately stole our hearts with its picturesque coastal location. The azure waters and golden sands provided the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway. However, it was the unparalleled warmth and dedication of the hotel staff that truly set our experience apart. The staff became more than just hosts; they became friends on our honeymoon journey. The bar team, including Artan, Antonis, Doria, Stefanos, and George, created cocktails that were both delightful to the palate and a testament to their craftsmanship. Their genuine interest in making our evenings special added an extra layer of charm to our stay. Elvira's presence at the Crepe Stand was a sweet delight. Her warm smile and delectable crepes were the perfect treat for our days by the beach. It's these personalized touches that make Calypso Beach Hotel stand out. Nikos and Tsampikos, members of the restaurant staff, took our dining experiences to new heights. Their attention to detail and dedication to making every meal memorable left us in awe. Our accommodations were nothing short of luxurious. The double room we stayed in was elegantly designed and offered breathtaking views of the coastline. The attention to cleanliness was impeccable, creating an environment that was both inviting and comforting. Speaking of amenities, Calypso Beach Hotel exceeded our expectations. The Crepe Stand, the restaurant, and the bar facilities were all top-notch, adding to the overall value of our stay. What truly wowed us was the genuine care and hospitality we received. The combination of these elements made our honeymoon unforgettable.

The deluxe double room on the sea was excellent. It was large with a seating area and an amazing view of the pool area and ocean (we were on the 4th floor). The buffet food was plentiful with at least one excellent main course each meal that we loved (with one day's exception) and included beer and wine as well. The restaurant staff was fantastic! The bar and snack bar had free cocktails as well. The pool area was nice as was the beach. There was a bus stop directly in front of the hotel to take you to Rhodes Old town for 2.50E each way. You really don't need a car as it isn't far from the airport and the bus goes to the city. There was safe parking in front of the hotel, but it was just sufficient for an off season crowd. In the summer it might be too small for a full crowd.

I went on vacation to this hotel for the first time with my five-year-old child and my wife. The location was great for us because it’s right on a beautiful beach. In June this year, the sea water was a bit colder—around 20 to 21 degrees Celsius—because the spring months of April and May were unusually stormy and cool. Normally, the water temperature at this time of year is around 23 to 24 degrees. The beach itself is really nice. You can play volleyball right on the sand, and there are even organized tournaments. In June, there were enough sun loungers and beach umbrellas for everyone. It was a little bit windy, but that’s normal for Rhodes. According to the locals, Faliraki actually has the weakest winds on the whole island, so it’s one of the more sheltered spots. Nearby, there’s also a beach bar from the hotel where you can grab drinks in plastic cups and take them to the beach. There are plenty of options—you can keep it simple with a good beer, or choose from a long list of cocktails. The staff was really pleasant and helpful—from the receptionist, to the bartenders, to the restaurant team. Everyone was kind, professional, and made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. My wife has a honey allergy, and we were really impressed with how careful and attentive the staff was. The gentleman who greeted us at the restaurant every day took the time to check with the kitchen which dishes contained honey. Before every lunch and dinner, he personally informed us which meals were safe for her. That kind of attention to detail made us feel very safe and cared for. Our room was small, but clean and comfortable, with a nice balcony and a sea view. The cleaning ladies cleaned the room every single day, and it was always tidy and fresh. There was also a safe in the room for storing valuables, and a closet with enough space for our clothes and belongings.

The hotel is right on the beach, and it’s definitely the best beach spot in the whole lagoon. The area around the hotel is really green with lots of shade, so you can stay outside all day comfortably, even when it’s hot. The staff are very friendly, whether it’s at the reception, in the restaurants, or at the bar. The food is really good – plenty of options, and it tastes like homemade. You can also grab snacks throughout the day, with crepes and even a barbecue cooked over coals, which was a nice touch. The cocktails are a big highlight – really tasty and of great quality compared to other hotels. While the hotel and grounds aren’t brand new and you can notice that in the main restaurant, everything is clean and well-organized, so it’s not a big deal. We recommend booking the deluxe rooms since they’re renovated and much better than the standard rooms – we had both. The garden view faces the street, so it can be noisy at night, but that’s normal for hotels in Faliraki. Most of the guests are from Germany. Overall, a great experience, and we will definitely be back!
