General view

Hotel clean and tidy,  had a room which came with a sea view if you call the hotel bins and a park for  Lorry's a sea view. Food was all the same every day and cold. Only one toast machine for every one to use. swimming pools very cold and life guard sat at pool bar every day on his phone. the photo of the beach if from a different Hotel, you have to walk down a very steep slope to get to the beach. Nothing open on the beach and i wouldn't say its a blue flag beach.

I recently stayed at Virginiahotel , and it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. The Room was spacious and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again in the future. 👌❤️⭐️

Best hotel ever

“I recently had the pleasure of staying at virginiahotel, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The luxurious accommodations, coupled with exceptional service, made my stay truly memorable. The hotel’s prime location made exploring the city a breeze, and I can’t wait to return to virginiahotel on my next visit. Highly recommended!”

Very good

Virginia unfortunately looks glossier in its photos that it does in the flesh. We booked for 8 nights based on the images on the EasyJet Holidays site, but were mildly disappointed. Checking in was quick and easy and took literally 2 minutes. We were  then shown our room on the far end on the site in the block 500 onwards. We did get a ground floor room, but be warned, there is no wall on your balcony, the area is fully open to anyone wandering and the cleaning staff have a tendency not to lock the patio doors. The room itself is basic. We had issues with the a/c and it made crackling noises which was a concern. This was reported, but not addressed. The safe in the room is free, you just need to ask how to use it. The bathroom is modern with a walk in shower which was pretty good. There is a kettle, tea and coffee. Collect tea bags from the bar as well as milk. There is also a mini fridge. The beds are comfortable, towels are changed when needed and beds are made daily. Bedding is changed during your stay. If you want to watch TV and you from the UK, you have 1 channel and no means of streaming to the TV. WIFI is poor, 1.5 - 2mb was the max we were getting and it dropped out regularly as well as dead spots .

The grounds outside are not the best. Im not sure if there has been any building work, but there were floor tiles missing and replaced with concrete, the grass area full of stones and the centre peice fountain was not working and the water was green. There is a walkway to the gym and a lift to the reception/dining area, otherwise a steep slope to the front of the complex with a shop and seating area for the lounge bar. The restaurant is also on the ground floor for breakfast and evening meals, lunch is served in the top restaurant which is used for a la carte evening meal. There are 2 bars, the lounge bar in the lobby and the pool bar which is at the top family pool, not the bottom adult pool which uses the lounge bar. During our stay staff numbers were reduced (ridiculous when UK and european school holidays were just starting), so the pool bar was closed in the evening and the starting times for evening meals were changed. Also, the a la carte meal was stopped. Both pools are freezing (the sea, which is 150m from the hotel was twice as warm). As usual, while there were notices, sunbeds were reserved, especially around the adult pool and not used (There was a story of a group while we were there putting towels down both sides of the pool so when the sun moved, they could to). Any concerns raised while we were there were not addressed, same as the adult pool used by children with inflatables. The family pool does have a water slide. It was not over used, but hardly anyone used the pool due to its shaded location and temperature. There were tiny ants everywhere!

Regarding food and drink, all inclusive drinks were not the best. Spirits were limited, there was beer, wine selected cocktails and soft drinks. Coffee came out of a machine and it was extra for a barista coffee. This is the first hotel we have been in where Amaretto was not served on all inclusive, but there is a shop on site open until 11pm is you want to buy some. There was branded spirits at cost. Food was nice however. Breakfast was buffet, continental, bacon (EU, not UK), scrambled eggs (no fried) omeletts cereal, pasteries, etc. Lunch was a buffet from the family pool. A little restricted, but there is a snack bar open all day doing pizza, hot dogs and gyros. Dinner was themed every night and was very nice with a lot of variety, including deserts. 

While we was there, there was entertainment most evenings and it was really good and varied. They had a mini kids club playing the same songs which got on your nerves after a few days. Bingo was played as well. The entertainment was moved down to the lounge on several nights while we were there which was ridiculous considering how many people were there. The animation team worked very hard to keep it all going though. There are pool tables at 2 euro, air hockey and a gym. The beach is 150m away and looks like a great place to be in the height of summer. The location is isolated. You can get buses at the top of the road, or taxi into the old Town.

All in all, for us it was a bit disappointing. The amount of walking around the complex was ridiculous, the section we stayed in was very messy. The staff are amazing though and work hard, but I paid a 4* price for a 3* experience with my accommodation, its asthetics and the drinks package. I could not give 5* for this, but it also didnt deserve 3*. Does need a complete update of the grounds though

Grounds need updating, need a better drinks package

Could not say a bad word about this hotel!! Staff were phenomenal and went above&beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We were upgraded to a jacuzzi suite while is a MUST if you are able to do so. Breakfast, lunch and dinner had a fabulous selection for all. We were arranged special breakfast and dinner in the Greek restaurant during our stay and we absolutely loved it! Hotel bar was our favourite for the wonderful cocktails. Pool bar was lovely throughout the day while sunbathing or watching the lunchtime entertainment. My partner proposed to me whilst on holiday and the hotel decorated our suite with flowers and swans just perfect!! Thank you so much Virginia for the most amazing holiday, one to remember and Rhodes is perfection. Hope to be back in the future!!

Special thanks to the wonderful team Gabriel, Alexandra in the restaurant, Viktoria in the hotel bar and Vasileios for making our holiday so special 💛

Best holiday ever! Thank you Virginia🤍
