First of all, in general very little information about the operation of the hotel. We can pass 10x in front of the reception, not a hello and this remark applies to almost the entire hotel. In the main restaurant, only the Asian staff is smiling, kind and helpful and seems happy to work. The others work in slow motion by dragging their feet. For a 5-star hotel, the dress code regarding shoes is catastrophic, it would be necessary to harmonise the shoes and not the sneakers. In addition, the air conditioning is much too strong in the restaurant as well as in the hotel. Regarding food, it is sometimes very limited (ex: when you take a gyros hoping to eat local you have 3 pieces of gyros and the rest is just bread and raw vegetables). In addition, it is an adult hotel but the DJ is uninteresting a playlist would have the same effect. It is a quiet hotel but with an average 30-40-year-old clientele but you have the impression of being in a guest house. There is a significant lack of activity. The deckchairs are very pretty in the context of the hotel but not comfortable, for a 5 star cushions are recommended. The toilets of the outdoor pool are cleaned at 8am and 9am then nothing for hours... However, the cleaning of the room is perfect, the setting of the hotel is pretty. This lack of life and desire to work in the hotel is felt very strongly. I prefer to talk to you about it directly for the good of the hotel rather than putting an opinion on the Internet. Lack of Greek culinary specialty In Italy with pasta and pizza except that it's bad

Just spent a week here, our second visit and definitely won’t be our last. Very chilled vibe and the food is amazing. Nothing much around the hotel but it’s a short bus ride into the old town with bus stop right outside hotel. Rooms are kept lovely and clean and the beds are very comfortable. Thanks cooks club for an amazing holiday and no doubt we will see you again soon

Overall, I'd describe this as a bit of a mixed experience. The resort itself is undeniably stunning, with beautiful surroundings, immaculate grounds, excellent music, and a vibrant atmosphere. It's exactly the sort of place that looks incredible in photos and is perfect for social media. However, despite all of those positives, we personally came away feeling slightly underwhelmed overall. One of the main reasons was the half-board offering. On paper, a four-course evening meal sounds excellent, but in reality the choices felt quite limited. The menu typically consisted of one soup, three starters, two main courses (usually one meat and one fish option), and then a choice of either dessert or ice cream, rather than both. The Italian and Asian restaurants, along with anything from the à la carte menu, were available only at an additional cost. It did feel as though the half-board menu was designed to encourage guests to pay extra if the included options weren't to their taste. That said, it's only fair to say that the quality of the evening food itself was consistently very good. We couldn't fault the standard of the dishes once they arrived. Breakfast was another area where our experience differed from many of the reviews we'd read. While the fresh fruit selection was excellent, we found many of the pastries to be stale, and the hot buffet selection fairly basic. It also wasn't made clear that items such as fresh orange juice needed to be specifically requested, as we were only ever offered coffee when seated. Service at breakfast was inconsistent and often slow. Trying to get a second coffee frequently involved either waiting a long time or struggling to attract attention. It was also frustrating to see freshly prepared eggs sitting in trays behind the counter rather than being readily available on the buffet. The pool areas were attractive, with comfortable sun loungers, although you did need to be out early to secure a good spot. The hotel does enforce its 15-minute unattended lounger policy, and we saw it being applied on several occasions, so the signage is genuine. Pool service, however, was inconsistent. Sometimes requests were dealt with promptly, while at other times we were either ignored or forgotten altogether, to be honest we gave up in the end and stuck to water from the onsite shop One area that really stood out positively was the main pool bar in the evenings. The service there was consistently excellent, the seating was comfortable, and the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming. It became our favourite place to spend the evenings and was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the stay. Overall, this is a beautiful resort with excellent facilities and plenty of style. However, we felt that the service and the value of the half-board package didn't quite match the premium feel of the hotel. With improvements to consistency and guest experience, it could easily live up to its impressive surroundings.

We booked this hotel as our last adults only holiday for a while as expecting a baby later in the year. We had heard good things about this hotel online and it sounded perfect for the type of holiday we wanted. Unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. The main reason for this was the food. Breakfast was fine, freshly cooked buffet food and plenty of it, only issue was the orange juice often ran out by 10am and breakfast finished at 11. We didn’t eat lunch in the cantina so can’t comment on this but lunch by the pool, although changed every day mainly consisted of fried unhealthy food and everything came with chips. The salads were often quite nice but the Greek salad was usually warm and didn’t taste like it had just come out of a fridge. You didn’t have to wait long for your food but there are only so many burgers and chips you can eat in a week which you wouldn’t even do at home! Dinner was the biggest disappointment of all, not having a buffet is something we have experienced in all inclusive hotels before which is fine but the menu choice was limited (despite most of it changed daily) and the food quality was poor. It was delivered to the table quite quickly which makes you question how fresh it is and it was either bland or just not very nice. A couple of meals were average but we did leave some meals barely touched which is not something I like to do. We ended up eating out for 3 nights out of 7 just to get a decent meal. The staff were also a bit too quick to remove plates from the table, sometimes when barely finished or not finished eating. We tried the al a carte restaurant which did serve nicer food and provided a better service. We had the smoke grill restaurant booked but unfortunately our reservation got cancelled due to the weather (not the hotels fault) so don’t know what the food was like here. The bar staff day and night worked tirelessly and the choice of drinks was quite vast. I particularly liked that they made all cocktails non-alcoholic too which makes not being able to drink more enjoyable! The only issue was the bar in the cantina, it was either not open, not staffed or stocked appropriately. One evening they had run out of wine glasses and my husband was told to go to the lobby bar to get one so he was able to enjoy a drink with dinner! This is unacceptable for a 5 star hotel to ask this of a guest. Both pools were great, especially the chill out pool. The sun loungers were quite uncomfortable however and not being able to get a towel before 10am or after 5pm was frustrating at times as didn’t match the pools opening times. We didn’t use the spa so can’t comment on this. The little shop on site was quite nice and reasonably priced. Location of the hotel was good, within a 10min walk you are in the local town of Gouvia which was quite nice and there was a bus stop outside takes you to the old town which is worth a visit. The rooms were fine and beds comfortable. The staff were friendly, although it did take 3 requests to fix the tv in our room (wouldn’t normally watch tv on holiday but it was the World Cup) also the evening entertainment was pretty boring so other than going to the local town we just went to our room earlier than perhaps we would have liked. I really think this hotel needs to improve the food (just lunch and dinner) as noticed we weren’t alone in our findings based on what we saw and other reviews on here. Sadly we won’t be returning here or recommending it based on this and makes me nervous about trying other cooks club hotels in the future.

Was a wonderfull stay all the staff was perfect We will come back sure🤍

Was perfect stsy amsizing staff HK perfect

We had a truly wonderful stay and enjoyed every moment of our holiday. The Cook’s Club exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We are travelling worldwide and staying in different hotels. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. The atmosphere was enhanced by the great music throughout the day and especially evening live music shows with very successful performers, creating a relaxing and enjoyable vibe. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and impeccably clean. The 2 restaurants (Asian and Italian) offered excellent food with plenty of variety, and every meal was something to look forward to. Of course, being in Rhodes made the experience even more special. The island is absolutely stunning, with beautiful sandy beaches, rich history, and amazing hospitality. A very special thank you to Emmanuel for his exceptional service and kindness. We would also like to thank the Albanian waiter (with beard) and waitress (blonde hair) (unfortunately we forgot names, sorry) at the Asian restaurant and the Pool Bar at night, whose warmth, professionalism, and friendly attitude made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. Thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so memorable. We would happily return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rhodes! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great holiday at Cooks Club Kolympia. We’ve had a wonderful week lounging by the pool, ordering food and drink to our sun lounger, and at night time eating in one of the 3 great restaurants and enjoying the bar experience playing cards and listening to the music. One of the highlights for us was doing Iyenga yoga with Haris in the mornings. Wonderful teacher who takes her time making sure you are comfortable and correct positioning and a really great energy. We also enjoyed playing tennis too and getting the bus to Rhodes Old Town and Lindos two days. Fantastic breakfast and nice staff everywhere. Although we were in a room right behind the bar when we arrived which was too loud for us, we told reception and got moved to a quieter room the next morning. I’ve not met anyone who had a double bed which wasn’t two singles but that could just be the guests I spoke to. The rooms were spotless and clean and tidy and a nice decor and large enough. We will definitely be back, thank you for a great stay ☀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

I highly recommend this hotel & would go back again. We spent 5 nights there and were SO impressed! My only wish was that we booked to stay longer!

Very fresh food at all times, prepared & cooked perfectly 👌🏽polite staff with a great sense of humour. Always helpful & smiling 👌🏽Great location 👌🏽supermarket with lots that you might need just outside the hotel 👌🏽Bus stop just outside hotel €4 per person to get to Rhodes Old Town 👌🏽we went bed and breakfast & the food at breakfast had vast variety, was very fresh and very tasty! One of the best buffets I’ve had and I’ve had a lot! 👌🏽 experienced some entertainment on one of the nights and it was spectacular! The other nights there was a dj playing really chill vibes deep house Negatives: 👎🏽Be at pool before 9 if you want a spot, the usual sunbed hogs at large. Rules not unforced for this. 👎🏽not part of the hotel review but a warning, taxis are very expensive! €55 for 35 min drive! Rent a car! Which you can do from hotel reception area 👎🏽You pay higher end € for government tax on arrival. €15 per night, however we were expecting this 👎🏽Room fridge not very cold but I always find this to be the case in all hotels abroad

Today is my last day of a fabulous week at Cooks Club. From arrival, I was made to feel at home! All of the staff were amazing but I have to give a special mention to Emmanuel. Emmanuel - the trip was even more special because of you! Thank you for taking care of me, all of the recommendations you gave, checking in every day. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and incredibly aesthetically pleasing - an instagrammers dream! Pool service is fantastic, food is brilliant and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. The evening entertainment was also brilliant, a particular highlight being over the weekend when the bar men were joining in, on the bar dancing, getting everyone hyped up!!! Thank you for a great trip ❤️ this won’t be the last you see of me!!!!

Incredible stay at the facility. The service is phenomenal and the vibe is pristine. Real beach club feel on the lagoon. Breakfast is top tier

I had a wonderful experience during my stay. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and welcoming. I would especially like to recognise Emmanuel, who truly went above and beyond to make me and my friends visit more memorable. I wanted to arrange a special birthday surprise for my friend and he was incredibly helpful throughout the process. From helping organise the details in ensuring everything was perfectly prepared, he took the time and care to make the occasion feel truly special. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help exceed expectations. Emmanuel is a real credit to the hotel.

We stayed for a second time celebrating our anniversary it was so lovely once again . We were greeted every morning afternoon and evening by the staff . Rooms were spotless everyday the cleaning was next level. Food in all restaurants were so delicious we found it hard to choose where to go each night ! We spent our evenings at the pool bar watching shows and listening to the music ! Overall amazing stay once again and would definitely recommend Cooks Club .

Thank you, Emmanuel, for helping make my week in Rhodes so enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel and would happily return in the future.
