Just returned from our honeymoon at the Atlantica. The hotel is sited between the road, the beach and the flight path, but the noise of the crickets drowns the traffic!
Having been All Inclusive for many years, the standard of food and drink choices was superb. Definately the best we've stayed at. No matter what time you arrive for a meal, there was always plenty left and it was hot ! Different themed meals every evening. But men beware - LONG TROUSERS ONLY ! This seemed a little silly as the women were allowed to wear anything and some skirts left little to the imagination !
The hotel is extremely clean and the staff are constantly dusting and cleaning.
The First Choice kids club was great for our daughter (12) as they took them on trips outside the hotel and on day excursions to other beaches.
The animation team work 20 hours a day and seem to get little support from the guests. How difficult must it be to keep British, French, German, Italians, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish customers happy? Dimitri, Jakob, Lara and Manuela deserve the medals !
The hotels is advertised as having an full day and night entertainment programme and this is what you get ! We didn't participate for the first few days, but once we did, we met lots of new guests and had a really good time.
There were quite a few children at the hotel, even though it's not school holidays in the UK. But the children did tend to stay in the shallow end of the pool, which allowed the adults to swim in the deep end.
All in all, we had a great time, met some fantastic people and have great memories. However, we wouldn't return to Rhodes, as there was not much to see or do outside the resort except a few beaches and ruins.

Just come back form a fantastic week.
This is the best All Inclusive we've stayed at.
The drinks were in proper glasses-not plastic cups. There was very little queuing for drinks or food and the bar staff were brilliant.
The food was excellent. No complaints at all.
The rooms were very clean and towels were changed daily. The only complaint regarding the room was that the air conditioning wasn't very good. It didn't make the room cold enough considering the heat outside.
The entertainment during the day was great for both Adults and kids. Plenty to keep you amused.
Entertainment at night was a bit of a let down. It was great for younger children but poor for adults. There were no professional shows. The entertainment was provided by the the hotel entertainment staff and relied on guests making the entertainment ie Mr Atlantica Princess.
There are lots of bars and shops approx 10 min walk away if you do want to wander.
A brilliant hotel. I'd definately recommend it!!!!

I found the Hotel to be excellent the staff were really friendly and helpful. The service we received was top rate, and we shall be visiting the Hotel again in the future.
On top of a shingle beach close to shops and taverna's Entertainment by the First Choice Reps Nutty Nicky, Amazing Anne, Funky Fi, Kool Kate, and of course Lauren was brilliant for the children they were looked after and entertained we were all really sad when we had to leave.
Good selection of food, with different theme nights. Very clean the rooms.

Out of the 20 of us who stayed in the hotel it was brilliant!
The sizes on the rooms was great having the choices of the views were amazing the beach or the pool!
First Choice entertainment was fantastic didn't see the children when kids club were one. The boys loved playing football with the animation team and even got up dancing with them.
The service was great and we couldn't of asked for a better friend than Alex when we were there who we still keep in contact with now!
We had a wedding while over there and the hotel was great, keeping us up to date on things throughout the day while we were getting ready.
One thing for sure is we will be back before the end of this season

Excellent hotel,with the rooms cleaned daily,very friendly and helpful staff,the selection of food is unbelievable would definately visit again.
The hotel kids entertainment was excellent our two young boys loved them. Gentlemen for the evening meal long trousers only, no 3/4 lengths you will not get in the restaurant.
You have to get up early to book a sun bed by the pool -5a.m.!!! the only down side.

We chose this hotel after having our holiday to Kos Aqua Beach Club cancelled a few days prior to departure, and after reading the reviews on the Aqua Beach Club, I'm glad we did !!!!
We all thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, and I'd recommend it to anyone. I was a bit wary about taking a 5 month old away for 2 weeks (I'd booked 10 days at the Aqua Beach Club last year, before I knew I was pregnant!!), but it was a doddle. He was a superstar, lapping up all the undivided attention!!
The hotel was very clean (the poor maid tried her best with the clutter left by 2 parents & 3 small children in our room on a daily basis !!)
The food was excellent - I managed to put on 8.5lbs in 2 weeks!!! Beer and wine drinkable & in proper glasses (I've been all inclusive before, where it's undrinkable & in plastic cups !!)
The entertainment was OK - some nights very good, some nights not so good - very hard to please everyone, I'm sure. My husband loved the water polo & the boys enjoyed the kids clubs. The only downside was that my eldest son cut his head open a couple of days after getting there, coming off the bridge over the pool (he is very accident prone!!), and has a lovely red 2 inch scar on his head now - currently covered by his hair, but if he loses his hair like his daddy, he'll look like a thug when he grows up!!!!!

The hotel accomodation, staff, food and service were all first class. We stayed in a room overlooking the pool, and had sunshine on the room until it set at around 7pm. The rooms with a sea view would not have had sunshine through the day (it was September). We were able to get a sunlounger around the pool every day, no scrums required. There were also plenty of loungers in the garden area near to the pool. It was mainly couples, with a few families with children under school age, and all in all a good atmosphere.
The English based (First Choice) entertainment was not very good. The Jetair rep (a Belgian) provided more varied, personal and frankly more suitable adult entertainment for her guests.
Overall we had a fantastic holiday and would recommend the hotel and resort.

Our family travelled late September early October for our 1st All Inclusive holiday.
We came back not disappointed.
Hotel,staff and the Greek people in general are very welcoming.
Food was very good no complaints apart from a very fussy 3 year old. I must admit to putting towels down at 8am just so that we could get the sun all day as one side of the pool lost the sun behind the trees in the afternoon.
A special mention must go the Reps who work tirelessly from 10am till 11pm.Steve-O,Jay,Leeanne and Toby special mentions to you four,your manner and patience with the kids(and big kids like myself)goes beyond call of duty.
Alex, Marios and the rest of the staff can't do enough to make your stay more pleasant.
All in all a hotel that we would visit again as a couple or with the family.

The Hotel was superb we had a "Suite" on the second floor which consisted of 2 single beds, T.V Free of charge, a family sized fridge, cooking facilities, toilet. Which had a balcony with table & chairs that overlooked the sea. There were stairs down to a large bedroom with 2 single beds plenty of storage space and a bathroom with shower over the bath. This also had a balcony which over looked a children's play area and outside restaurant, pool etc. Air conditioning was controlled separately in our suite both upstairs and downstairs. They were cleaned daily and towels were changed. We kept our room up until we checked out at 01.00 without any hassle at all.
Staff very friendly and there were plenty of choices of food. They even had a children's menu mainly chips, pizza, chicken nuggets and fish fingers.
Kids club reps were brilliant great entertainment for children our 5 yr old especially liked the mini disco held each night 20.00 - 21.00 along with movies at night.

We had booked as half board, but on arrival asked about upgrading to all inclusive, it was 17 euro per day, per person and the kids were free, so after being charged 8 euro for two pints and two cokes, decided to upgrade, the best decision we made. You could eat and drink as much as you wanted all day, I would recommend doing this.
The hotel is very clean, always someone cleaning, the rooms are cleaned 6 days a week.
The food was good although there was a lack of fresh fruit, and a lot of repetative food. The hotel is more in Trianda than Ixia, the beach is only 50yds away, but very pebbly, although it's sandy when you go in the sea underfoot.
The pools were nice but they could do with new sunbeds. Most of the staff are quite friendly.
The entertainment wasn't to bad, Iv'e heard worse, they tried anyway.
We were there for a wedding, and it was also my wife's birthday and our anniversary, the staff made her a cake(although I paid for it)and there was a bottle of wine and a bowl of fruit from the management, which was quiet nice, would go back sometime.
