Rhodes: Seven Night Half Board Stay For Two With Flights from £319 Per Person at the 4* Kresten Palace Hotel (Up to 49% Off)

Sunbathing on the outskirts of Rhodes Town, the four star Kresten Palace Hotel is washed up on the shores of this historic Dodecanese island, acclaimed for its golden beaches, medieval history, and vibrant night life. As the World Heritage site of the Old Town invites travellers to uncover its labyrinthine backstreets, ancient monuments, and lively local markets, the region’s rocky mountains and green scenery also tempt visitors to take a step off the beaten track.

The Hotel

Basking in the warmth of the Hellenic summer sun, the four-star Kresten Palace Hotel blends traditional Greek architecture with modern home comforts from its private beachfront location. The salmon and cream-coloured building is surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns and exotic palm trees, while its large, azure-blue swimming pool is dotted with sun loungers and the cooling shade of parasols. Inside, the Parthenon-esque reception leads holiday-makers up to the hotel’s 285 en suite bedrooms, complete with balconies overlooking the gentle waves of the Mediterranean Sea. Guests can enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the outdoor terrace of the ample Olympia Restaurant, while colourful cocktails and light snacks take centre stage at the Red Bar. The hotel encourages fun, frolics, and laughter with poolside entertainment by day and Greek folklore dancing and live entertainment by night.

Groupon Recommends

A drive north to Rhodes Town will reveal the Avenue of the Knights, a cobblestone thoroughfare lined with honey-coloured stone buildings, and will also offer the opportunity to explore the archaeological treasure trove, which includes the marble Aphrodite of Rhodes statue, held within the walls of the grandiose Palace of the Grand Masters. Alternatively use a visit to the town to experience Rhodes from underwater with a spot of scuba diving in Kalithea Thermi – the only place on the island where diving is permitted – or return to the resort to plunge into the cooling embrace of the pool. Perhaps walk down to the beach in the late afternoon, then dress for dinner or prepare for a night out in the tavernas.

Reviews

TripAdvisors grade Kresten Palace a super 4/5 stars. While some guests found décor old-fashioned, reviewers praise the comfort of rooms, proximity to Rhodes town, leisure facilities and service.

This is an excellent hotel. Very clean and well maintained. Massive pools and plenty of sunbeds … The buffet food was good but would liked have [sic] had a more Greek selection. If you are looking for a place to relax and chill by the pool this is the place for you.
