Golden Odyssey Hotel - All Inclusive

Nice hotel. Michael and most staff are very accommodating. We had one issue with some of our belongings been taking from the rooms by cleaners. Reception did look after us after this and were very helpful. Entertainment was good for our little girl. Food was good.

We were warmly welcomed at Reception and happy with our room which was in the main building and quite close to all facilities and was cleaned every day. The situation of the hotel was ideal for us as we like to explore by bus and the buses to Rhodes Town and to Lindos stopped outside the hotel. It is not so convenient for Kolymbia Beach which is almost a mile away. There is a free shuttle bus but this is an infrequent service. The entertainment programme had not fully started as we were staying before the start of the main season but there was a disco for children every evening which the youngsters seemed to really enjoy. The food was exceptional, there was always something different on the menu and plenty of choice. The staff were very welcoming and attentive especially the Restaurant Manager, Michael, who always went the "extra mile", greeting and talking to all diners and making everyone feel special. My husband and I particularly enjoyed a certain dish so later in the week Michael arranged for us to go into the kitchen where we were introduced to Chef (Steve) and Sous Chef (Andreas) who prepared the dish for us, giving detailed instructions. Michael then served it to us in the restaurant. Overall we had a very good week with no complaints.

Went here with my partner and 2 sons, 4 and 9 and we had the best time! The room was basic yet clean and cleaned daily. We went all inclusive and there was always lovely food available and the freshly made pizza was a favourite with the children! The desserts were delicious and we all ate so much! On the days it was too hot for the boys to eat in the restaurant we relaxed by the pool and enjoyed burgers, sausages, chips and endless ice cream. The pools were great, perfect for both ages and the slides were so much fun! I absolutely loved the morning exercises in the pool and the atmosphere was brilliant, fab music! The evenings were fun and the entertainment for children was great, the staff put in so much effort and we had some real laughs and boogies lol The cocktails were always flowing and even non alcoholic ones for the children just to make them feel special too. The boys appreciated the arcade and I enjoyed the ping pong table. The kids club was handy to keep little one busy and the shop had all the fun pool bits for my oldest son and the prices were pretty good. The free bus to the beach was super handy and my son got to experience scuba diving 😀 (Extra cost) I never saw an owner work so hard, Michael was always at the restaurant to great us and have us seated. He spoke to us and made us feel so welcome and he was wonderful with the boys, he is someone we won't forget. We are not going back this year but it is a definite on our to do again list and I am sure many times in the future. Thank you to all of you that made our holiday one to remember! ❤️

The hotel is amazing and what makes its much better is that the manager Michael is very helpful and friendly. Just from walking into the reception you are welcomed with smiling workers, the interior is beautiful and all the services one can need is available. It is an incredibly family friendly hotel, I could not have hoped for a better stay. I absolutely recommend.

We had a great holiday staying here! We were the first guest arriving so there were only around 50-100 guests so no queues, no wait and plenty of access to the facilities. Staff were helpful (especially in the dining room) and magic Mike provided entertainment! Rooms were basic but clean, beds comfy & the shower was great! Best thing was easy to escape and get out & about! Regular bus to Rhodes, Faliraki and Lindos. Two beaches (one walkable, one with free bus from hotel) Kolimbia is worth a visit, walkable with a great bar at the top of the road!

Room was lovely and clean, pools were enjoyed by all. Food was good for all inclusive. Everyone ate something every meal. Day time entertainment was few and far between however nighttime was fantastic and not to be missed. My only complaint would be the drinks. There is only 1 drinks machine near the main pool. However if you are over by the other 2 pools or the slides it’s a taxing walk especially as you are only allowed a small cup and have drank the drink before you have even got back to your subbed. Not allowed to fill up bottles either - not even water! I would suggest at least 1 more drinks machine on the slides side of the hotel and would have been brilliant. Also buses were horrendous. Got told get on the bus at 2 so I did, asked the driver for the destination paid and sat down. Then 20 minutes in realised we were going the complete wrong direction! Gave up on that day and tried the next day. Got there at 1:50 for the 2pm bus and gave up waiting at 3:30pm it never arrived! Lovely sports bar down the road showing all the football.

i’ve got to say, our holiday at golden odessey was utterly amazing, from arrival to departure i enjoyed every second of it. we stayed in a relaxed place of the hotel in a superior family room which was very nice, however could do with a slight refurb. the pools were absolutely fantastic, the main pool can be busy and loud but if you want somewhere relatively quieter, than head to one of the other two pools. the restaurant is amazing, serving an amazing buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all were amazing. complements to all the restaurant staff including the restaurant manager who is an amazing person! the entertainment was fun to watch, however the seating and tables get very full and if you want to play cards, i wouldn’t recommend sitting up the top as it can get windy in the evenings, instead sit at one of the tables outside the restaurant. the pool bar was tasty serving a range of snacks to tide you over, however different dishes could be done for different days but they tasted amazing. the shuttle to the beach was convenient however it could be ran more frequently, just so you are aware, as with many european beach’s nowadays, they do charge for sunloungers and cabanas, overall, this holiday was outstanding! thank you to all the golden odessey staff!! xx

The experience was brilliant. The hotel was only a short journey from the airport, even with the various stops that a shuttle service makes. They have great facilities, for all ages, including Table tennis; 3x pool tables; dart board; 3x large swimming pools; 1x children's pool (very close to the poolside bar for snacks etc); the 2 pools used to accommodate the water slides and a small kids club. The alcoholic drinks during the daytime hours are restricted to draught beer & wine (Red, White & Rose), unfortunately. These are self serve. After 5pm you can then head to the main bar for cocktails and spirits. The staff made our stay incredibly enjoyable. The Manager is extremely polite and welcoming and will be there to greet you at every meal. Mike, the main entertainer, is extremely good at his job, he includes everyone of all ages in his acts & is, overall, a completely top-man. He, single-handedly made my holiday far better than it qould have been, had he not been there. The bar staff are easy to converse with, speak many languages and, again, are very polite. The on-resort spa is run by Mike's partner and is a HUGE recommendation, of mine. The massages on offer vary from foot and leg through to full body. The 1 one thing to keep in mind: always pay for the longer session, you'll regret it if you don't. I thought a 25-30 min back massage would be plenty, I came out faced with instant regret I didn't buy the extended time Good food for an all exclusive resort. As you can imagine, its not Michelin star quality but there's a decent and varied selection. The poolside food bar has chips, fish fingers, hot dog style sausages and beef burgers (the burgers are lovely). Self-serve scooped ice cream also starts here at 2pm. The rooms were nice and well looked after. Air-con, unlike many other places, is free to use. We had a pool terraced, family room. Which was fantastic, as you walked out your front door and were right in front of the pool. There's absolutely none of the "6.30am/7am rush" for sunbeds, there's always a few available if you are a bit late to the pool area. On site shop is a very convenient feature, they have. They sell all sorts including cigarettes here, which vary in price, but are around €5 on average. I've probably missed so many more positive things that I could say about Golden Odyssey but, overall, I'd certainly consider coming back here. The negative bits (bear in mind, many of these aren't the hotels fault): . Relatively loud cricket sounding insects/creatures in the trees during daytime hours (you block it out after a while). . ANTS - As you can imagine, hot country, loads of sticky drinks being spilt everywhere. . Mosquitos - MAKE SURE YOU TAKE REPELLANT AND AFTER-BITE . Prices in the on-site shop - OK, so most of it is reasonably fairly priced but be warned, make sure you take sun cream and any (large) floats with you. Bottles of nivea sun cream were being sold for €35+ and large floats for €40+. Otherwise, as

Fantastic time! Brilliant room right by the pool but the staff made it for us.. mike is the star of the show and his wife voila and daughter marizoula are incredible lovely people, behind the bar John and fiori are the best, especially with the help of arxidia! Then Fabiana and george are absolutely incredible! So hard working and supporting mike with the entertainment every single moment .. also a shout out to the man in the restaurant leading you to tables as well as the waitresses and waiters, cannot fault the staff at all, they have made us all feel so welcome and have made our holiday as good as possible, they also worked through the 42 degree heatwave which is incredible because we couldn’t even do menial tasks but they continued to excel! ❤️ thanks to everyone at the golden odyssey for a truly memorable holiday xx
