Lindos Memories Resort & Spa

I’m giving this overall three stars for two reasons, firstly the room which was extremely small with a most uncomfortable bed and secondly the food which was always the same and always cold. However, the staff more than deserve five stars and I especially want to mention two of them. Marina on reception who was unfailingly polite and helpful and couldn’t do enough to assist and Maria in the bar who was efficient and effective but never too busy to stop for a quick chat and a smile. We enjoyed your company ladies, thank you. The two gentlemen in the restaurant were quick and efficient and always ready to help. The ladies who cleaned the room were also good with changing sheets regularly. The hotel itself is in a beautiful spot with uninterrupted views of the sea from the principal rooms. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is definitely the place for you. Car hire is easy and cheap but there is also a frequent bus service a few minutes walk away. The place would benefit from investment and from our point of view the change from Adults only to allow children to stay was unwelcome but it is worth a visit and we hope to return again.

Its a nice hotel, some things are needing alittle TLC like the bathrooms. Our shower head had cracked and was shooting water over the shower also the floor and shower doors seals needed de-moulding or just replaced. We were there for a week and the bed was made each day but no clean sheets for the whole week, even though we had spilled a drink on them. We had water and fizzy drinks in the fridge when we arrived but they were never replaced even though we were all inclusive. We had tea, kettle and a coffee machine but no pods of coffee anywhere if to pick up at breakfast. We only ate 1 dinner and 2 lunch at the hotel restaurant and it was the same food every day, just the main meat was different with a chef cooking it for you which was the nicest thing there. Everything was also just warm enough to eat. Breakfast was the same thing everyday, even the chef did the same pancakes and waffles everyday! You have to find your own table and wait ages for a drink weather it was tea/coffee at breakfast or beer/wine/ evening drink. One evening i tried to get a drink with dinner we and failed, i got up went out of the restaurant over to the bar and got my partner and myself a drink to go with our food, the bar staff seemed confused but gave me the drinks in a glass as normally if you take a drink away from the bar it had to be in a plastic cup. The waiters were also clearing tables onto a trolly just adding dirty plate after dirty plate and because of this sometimes you had to ask for a clean plate so you could eat. The stack of dirty plates got so high they did fall on more than one occasion. The pool was freezing but the beach and sea water just a few mins walk from the pool was a lovely temp. The service at the bar was good but they didnt have all the drinks and some were pre-made in a bottle. You did always get a snack which was nice. On a whole it just seems like it needs a referb the staff need training, all of them. The food needs to change. I wouldnt stay again. We actually didnt book this place but were upgraded as where we had booked had over booked so we thought we would feel abit out of place in a 5star but this is no 5star, maybe it used to be. Buses are easy and cheap to use if you can manage the hill to get up to the stop.
