AMUS HOTEL & SPA (EX- RHODES BAY HOTEL & SPA)

Last minute package trip which exceeded expectations. A wonderful hotel. Great staff comfortable room and bed and good location.

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at Amus. We were a group of 5 and had 2 rooms. My family (2 adults and a teenage son), stayed in a duplex suite which was fantastic. It's the perfect room for a couple and a teenager as he had a sofa bed and his own shower room and toilet downstairs and we had the upstairs which had a huge bed and big bathroom with separate shower. We were left a lovely beach bag to use in the room and on the second day, it was our son's 16th birthday and they left a lovely mirrored tray covered in sweets, strawberries, and macarons plus a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate. A really thoughtful addition. On the last day, we were left a lovely gift box of honey, oil, and oregano to take home with us. The food is superb! We're a foodie family and there was always so much choice in the main restaurant in the evenings and the food was hot and seasoned well. The breakfast offering was pretty much the same everyday but if you wanted to, you could have different things everyday as there was so many things to choose from. We went to the Oliveto and Bakaliko restaurants once each. Both were fabulous. The portions at Oliveto were humungous and if you're going all inclusive, nothing there was an extra charge. There was less choice at Bakaliko but still plenty of "free" options. They do get booked up very quickly though and something that would elevate slightly is being able to book more than a day in advance. We struggled as we were a group of 5. Maybe it's easier to get a table if you're a couple. The pool on the ground floor is large enough that it never felt crowded. People were reserving beds with towels but we never struggled to find some. Having said that, if you weren't down there by around 9am, you may struggle. Previous reviews indicated that towels were removed if left unaccompanied but we never witnessed this happening. Drinks service was great around the pool and we never waited very long after placing our order. Nikos was particularly lovely and very attentive. The entertainment staff are enthusiastic and although they do approach you around the pool, if you're not interested, they don't pester you which is good. The water in the pool was perfect. It was cold enough to cool you off after sunbathing but warm enough that you could get straight in. There are a couple of small things that I think would elevate the hotel experience for guests that the hotel should consider. Firstly, pool towels. You're given cards when you arrive and you have to go to the spa to pick them up. And you are told that you can only change them every other day. At a 5 star resort, I would expect a towel kiosk at the poolside, being able to change for a fresh one an unlimited amount of times, or at least everyday. When you go to change them though, the spa staff don't check when you last changed them and just hand out fresh ones, it's just a little out of the way! Secondly, and this really is such a minor niggle. The drinks around the pool are served in plastic cups. Absolutely to be expected for safety but we've stayed elsewhere where they've had plastic versions of the proper cocktail glasses for each of the different drinks which just elevates the experience. Thirdly, the sunbeds in the hotel photos make out that all of them have a padded mattress but only the ones around the adult only pool have these. The sunbeds are perfectly fine but again, an elevation would be a more plush sunbed. And finally, the outside terrace on the 11th floor could do with more seating for drinks in the evening and for enjoying the entertainment. We sometimes struggled to find one and there was loads of unused space. I would not let these very very minor points dissuade me from visiting again as we had such a fabulous week. If you've booked a holiday here, you should very much look forward to it as you'll have a wonderful time.

What an excellent resort, that staff are lovely, helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. The facilities are great.

Beautiful facial with Maria. Just what I needed at the end of my holiday. Relaxing and calming. Maria is knowledgeable and friendly, perfect. Thank you

Very relaxing and Luisa was very sweet and professional 🙏🏻

Deep tissues massage with Lina was absolutely amazing. Totally worth it. Feel relaxed but she also managed to release a few knots I had in my back.

Picked this hotel as it looked just a touch more luxurious than the rest and it did not disappoint. On arrival the reception team were incredibly helpful reserving us a late dinner and giving us info about late check in etc. We weren’t keen to visit the buffet but the food theres was very good. Nit enough to tp us to Breakfast more than twice but more about us than the food. From day one the animation team were delightful, inclusive, funny, warm and welcoming. Nicholas, Dory, Lulu and Isabella really made our time here special. We were not keen on missing pilates back home and they offered a fabulous replacement. Barrista Kelek deserves a special mention. Always smiling, friendly and could not do enough to help. She was the icing on the cake to our fabulous week. The choice of pools and beach are fabulous and the restaurants are all wry pleasant. The spa was good and we used it a few times during our stay as part of a treatment package. The pool bar stuff, god love them may well be worm down by customer behaviour but I didn’t see anything untoward. Perhaps a smile a nod or even some engagement when you attempt to place an order and stand waiting would be nice, not just the once either. Chicken or Tuna salads are to recommended no matter how long it takes to order one. Not a fan of returning anywhere if I can help it, too much world to see but I’d be happy to return here.

Not what is advertised on TUI. Went 11 nights all inclusive. Initially hotel room clean however the shower you can hardly move in it’s so small and I’m not a big person. Firstly on TUI website shows sunbeds with cushions which is a must for me as I have a health issue. On inspection only the adult section has cushions approx 20 in total. They are filthy and they obviously have a bird issue as every beady we ended up with bird poo on them, also bird poop on top of pool every day and around the pool. Pool looks clean but if you looks at walls and edges it’s black. All inclusive , treated differently I understand booking al la carte for dinner 24 hours in advance but lunch as well, who knows what time they want yo eat 24 hours in advance. Also last booking time 2pm but if your paying you can go in any time, made to feel different. Also bar by adult pool in evening not all inclusive! Entertainment was ok in the day but non existent at night, what they provided could in no way be categorised as entertainment. Walked past hotels every night could hear people laugh and enjoying real entertainment, gutted and spent a fortune as we had to go out every evening!! The only plus in this hotel were pool staff George and Loukas who were excellent. Complained but TUI and hotel just really not interested even sent me an entertainment sheet just in case I haven’t got a pair of eyes to see it posted all over the hotel. If you want do who played Tim Jones songs in foreign accent then you will love it! Ixia is quiet and other side of the island is much nicer

Our stay at Amus Hotel & Spa in Rhodes was nothing short of amazing and truly memorable from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were met with a level of warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire trip. What really made this stay exceptional was the staff. Before we even arrived, Gaynor was incredibly helpful in arranging a birthday cake for our daughter’s 1st birthday, which we deeply appreciated and will never forget. It was such a thoughtful touch and really made our celebration feel special. During our stay, Nikitas was a standout highlight. From day one, he welcomed us with a calm, confident and genuinely friendly energy. He went above and beyond offering excellent local restaurant recommendations, suggesting places to explore, helping with luggage, and always making time for a friendly chat. His presence truly elevated our experience. The reception team as a whole were consistently wonderful, whether day, evening, or night. Always pleasant, always helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure both we and our daughter had the best possible time. They absolutely adored her, which made us feel even more at home. Our sea view deluxe room was excellent spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout our stay. The housekeeping team were thorough, polite, and clearly take pride in their work. Check-in was smooth and easy. Although we weren’t able to secure an upgrade due to how busy the hotel was, the team did try their best and we completely understood the situation. Check-out was equally seamless, and we were kindly allowed to use the spa facilities to shower later in the day while our luggage was safely stored an incredibly thoughtful gesture given our late flight. The location is ideal, with great food spots nearby and the beach just a 2-minute walk away. The private tunnel from the hotel to the beach was a fun and unique touch that we really enjoyed. The rooftop pool on the 11th floor was another highlight relaxing, well-maintained, and never too busy. Overall, this was a truly joyful and memorable family holiday. Amus Hotel & Spa delivered not just comfort and quality, but genuine hospitality that made us feel welcome every single day. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rhodes.

Amazing Hotel Stunning Sea views Welcoming and helpful Staff Well maintained Gardens and amenities Nothing seemed to be too much trouble as long as the guests were/are happy Adults only pool by Sunset Bar - front of Hotel Pool Bar at front of Hotel adjacent to largest and most popular pool area **only one male and one female toilet - inadequate in my opinion for how many people use this pool** Abundance of sun beds and plenty of shaded areas if needed Roof Top Pool next to Roof Top Bar and Bungalows Stunning views from that floor (11th) Al a Carte Italian and Greek Restaurants also situated in. 11th floor offer fabulous meals Have to be pre-booked in advance **Large portions for some of the choices on the Menus so ask before ordering as may be better to share** Spa facilities onsite with indoor and outdoor pools near to the Amus Suites Hotel Towels can be changed here for use at pool and beach **Guests can use the Spa for showers and to get ready prior to departure with towels supplied for use free of charge ** Shop on site near to Reception Lovey Lady in the shop and there many gifts on sale at similar price to other shops along the main area of this resort as well as essentials like milk water chocolate etc Lovely waterfall and outside quiet area near Reception and Shop Extensive choice of food at all meal times Cannot fault food at this accommodation Beautiful Seaview Bedroom which was large and cleaned daily with fresh towels as they were required Fridge and Coffee/Tea Making within rooms **Bathroom in our particular room was quite small and we had to open door and step to the right side by the sink then close door before being able to get to where toilet was (on the left behind the door) Door opened into midsection of bath so not enough room to get to toilet without closing door first to get into Bathroom fully Toiletries supplied - Shampoo Conditioner Body Lotion and Shower Gel Bathrobes and slippers also supplied Beach is accessed via underpass as Hotel is near a busy main road however we did not find this is not noisy and therefore it was not a problem even though we had a Sea view room overlooking this road Sea was rough and strong currents at time - Lifeguard on duty between the hours of 10.00am and 6.00pm - flags on display to show if safe to swim Pebbles not sand so would recommend Sea Shoes is swimming in the sea Can walk along the Beach towards Rhodes Town **Pedestrian Pathway runs adjacent to road all the way from Ixia to Beach at Rhodes Town takes about an hour from the Amus Resort and Spa** Situated within easy reach of Rhodes Town and the old Town Easy access to Bus stop from the Amus and also Taxis available to get you to Rhodes Town Definitely recommend to others

Liked the location. Close to everything we needed. We also walked to the old town, nice walk. The rooms was clean and comfortable. A good excperiece and value. Some noise from the other room, but not a lot to mention. Great service!

I had the Cretan massage and it was an amazing experience the therapist Maria was excellent

One word really....WOW!!! We stayed in the Amus suites last week. Absolutely fabulous. We were upgraded from an "ordinary " suite ( which was amazing with a superb sea view from the balcony) to a suite with a private plunge pool. It was heavenly! But all the suites are very well positioned and provided with everything you need. Amazing service from all the staff. An enormous thank you to Daria and Chryse (sorry, not sure on spelling) who were the most wonderful and delightful pair of ladies, charming, helpful, kind, patient ( put up with me practising my very limited Greek!!) (and Daria has the most beautiful selection of tops and blouse I've ever seen.....she'll know who's writing this review!) The Suites restaurant provides an excellent breakfast buffet and has a very extensive lunch and dinner menu, the food was all absolutely delicious and very good value. The drinks are not over priced. The sunst views from the restaurant balcony whilst eating dinner were stunning. Equal to anything we saw recently in Santorini. There is not a single thing to fault with Amus Suites. It is quite possibly the best place we have ever stayed in. Thank you all very much. We would definitely recommend staying here.

An excellent hotel. We did the all inclusive option. So i will put the one downside to this hotel first as it is just a criticism and nothing more. In that it was the strange set up for All Inclusive that I would call it more selective inclusive rather than all inclusive, the alcoholic drinks for the all inclusive package -for example you could get a mimosa (orange juice with sparkling wine) free as part of the package but if you just want orange juice without the wine then it was not part of the package and an extra €6. Similarly, some cocktails were free. some cocktails had an extra charge when perhaps the only difference in them was, for example mint given the mojito which was an extra charge but another cocktail with the same alcohol and just a different flavouring was part of the package and free of charge. None of it made any sense, a beer that is free in Olivetto, would carry a €6 charge in the bar next to it which was no more than 10 metres away. It was very confusing for customers and possibly staff and just needs to be sorted out. Similarly the Mediterranean restaurant was free at lunchtime but not in the evening, yet the menus were similar to the restaurants that were included. but that’s a very small criticism of a very very good hotel. Our room was large with a sea view and sitting area. Very clean and comfortable with excellent housekeeping every day. Great location right on the seafront and only 10 minutes ride into Rhodes old town. Entertainment staff were very friendly and did a great job. The grounds of the hotel were very well kept. The beach which is pebbly so you can’t use it without wearing sea shoes, the hotel did provide free beds and umbrellas on the beach if that’s what you prefer to do. We were happy with the lovely gardens and pool area. The food in all the restaurants was excellent quality. We only used the buffet restaurant for breakfast and then the speciality restaurants for lunch and dinner. In particular Oliveto Italian restaurant and the Greek Taverna restaurant were excellent, the staff, service and food were top quality with a large variety to choose from. absolutely beautiful Italian and Greek dishes that you would expect in any high-quality restaurant. All of the staff and I mean All were so welcoming, friendly and helpful without exception. The garden area and the pool area were very comfortable. Lots of space plenty of sunbeds no need to be getting up early to try and grab a space. All in all a very very comfortable hotel that I will certainly go back to.

Lina at the spa in the lindos hotel was really pleasant and so professional I'm really pleased with the service would definitely recommend.
