Costa Lindia Beach Resort

We will try to write a review, as objective as possible. Positive aspects of the hotel: They layout of the hotel as a small Greek village is very nice. The rooms are spread out and it doesn’t feel like one of those big hotels with big buildings. It lays right on the beach which is nice and clear. The swimming pools are quite big, but I can understand that some people feel like they can’t use them as they are in front of the rooms with direct pool access, so you might feel like they are only for them which is not the case. The staff was usually quite friendly, especially at the beach bar which is the one we used the most. Pizzas served for lunch at the pool restaurant were very good. The a la carte restaurants are quite nice, if you manage to book them on the online app that they provide (the process is quite cumbersome). Now, onto the more negative ones: The check in process was a bit strange. You have to fill in an online form before checking in at the counter even if you have all of the paperwork with you. We had to pay the taxes right away and cash only. Usually they appear on the bill at the end of the stay…so if you don’t carry cash with you it could be an issue. Then we were negatively surprised when we were told that to use the safe in the room, we’d have to pay 40 euros. We have never seen this in any other hotel…the safe was always free!! Onto the room now: we had booked a swim up family room with direct pool access. We had been told it would be a renovated room, of course it wasn’t. The room looked like it came out of the 80s’….The “room” for the children are maybe 6 square meters, with no windows (other than a window on the hallway). The AC was leaking onto our daughter’s bed…we gave the information to reception, someone came to check only after a couple of days…looked at it and did nothing…. The beds were hard as rocks, we had to ask for toppers to make them a little more comfortable. And of course the piece of wood underneath was completely rotten due to the leak. The main bedroom was much bigger but also in poor condition. Noisy AC, plugs that were hanging out of the wall. There also, we had notified reception…we saw someone came to check…and again…did nothing about it. The bathroom was just a joke…the shower was so small you could barely turn around in it, the tiles were broken on the floor, the mirrors were also damaged, there was no ventilation at all in the bathroom. It didn’t feel clean at all. The access to the pool was not as shown on the pictures, the room was under ground level and you had to use a stairs to go to the terrace. It wasn’t a big problem for us but it could be for older people or people with small children. The renovate rooms are only a few, they can only accommodate 3 people max. And the renovated pool area with a pool bar is reserved for adult only. That’s all you see from the renovated parts. Lastly, there was regularly a strong smell of sewers in the hallway or even in the room, this was very unpl

Was pleasantly surprised with this hotel - room was lovely, bathroom could do with a refurb but was clean. Just tile cracks etc but nothing major. The resort as a whole is beautiful, we only had a standard room, all other rooms were booked but there are the lower rooms with swim up pools, sunloungers & private jacuzzi. I noticed the top floor rooms also had them too. Was happy with our standard room. Air con in all rooms too! Safes are extra 30 euro but we didn’t use it. Food was good - lots of variety and found something to eat everyday in the main buffet, also has a greek & Asian restaurant but you have to reserve table. All included in the all inclusive still though. Italian/pool restaurant also available near the beach. Beach is lovely - plenty of sun beds. Sea is warm and easy to get into. Boat to Lindos off the beach every day for 15euro per person inc return. Worth a visit. Water sports available - can hire out private boat etc. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Would definitely return. Only down side is that outside of the hotel there is not much - there is a bus stop that can take you anywhere basically and cheap. Bus fare to Lindos is 1.80euro each. Gym is across the road - however very limited equipment and doesn’t open till 10am so never used it. Not any weight equipment, just a couple of 8/10kg dumbbells.

Had a great 10 days at Costa Lindia with my wife and 14 year old son. Hotel is well spread out on a beach front location. Plenty of spaces around the several pools and lots if sun loungers around the pools and beach. Plenty of choice in the buffet restaurants, and great choice of spirits in the bars. We tried the Greek a la carts restaurant, which had a very nice set menu, unfortunately we couldn’t get into the Asian restaurant, but it looked very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Tanya in the restaurant/ bars, Vesselis in the Lounge Bar was friendly and made a fuss if our son. Anastasia at the pool was always smiling, but special mention goes to Manolis and George at the Beach Bar. We had our regular slot at 3pm sat on the stools at the beach bar, being serviced by Manolis, he was lovely and gave us lots of tips for places to go and things to see in the local area. Our son loved the pools, the water sports and the cakes! The evening entertainment on the beach was great, with regular live music. Would definitely recommend the Costa Lindia!
