Absolute Kiotari Resort

I've just returned from my fourth stay at this beautiful hotel. If you are looking for a lively party vibe, this is not the right choice for you. If, however, you want peace and quiet, rest and relaxation, it's just perfect! This is why I return every year. The staff are wonderful! I arrived late and was thrilled to be upgraded to a gorgeous room with a sea view, a king-size bed huge walk-in shower, and to my delight, a hot tub & sunloungers on the balcony Thank you so much to lovely Kiki and Theodora for doing that. I so appreciated your kindness. I always sleep well on the very comfortable beds. There was also a coffee pod machine in the bedroom. I love that the hotel provides the digital room safe and pool towels without charges or deposit. The pool towels are changed daily, too. English news channels Sky BBC CNN are available on the flat screen TV. House keeping keep the hotel spotless. The food is great. It's a half board hotel. There is plenty of choice at breakfast, which offers hot & and cold, including a fresh eggs bar. Dinner is a buffet and again plenty of choices to suit all tastes. The restaurant is managed by the excellent Fotis, and many thanks to him Christos and Daniella for their attention and service during my stay. The beach is 2 minutes walk away and has sunbeds which you can rent. The pool bar offers cocktails, beers, and other non alcoholic beverages, as well as an excellent food menu that you can enjoy at your sunbed or in the comfort of the poolside seated terrace Thank you very much, Lauora, for your customer service! Many thanks to everyone - not forgetting Jamie at reception. I very much enjoyed our chats about Ireland. I'm hoping to return this autumn. I love the Absolute in Kiotari. It's truly my happy place! Once again, thank you so much to all the staff!

This is my 3rd stay at this beautiful hotel, which opened in May 2023. It is a boutique contemporary furnished hotel located in the pretty peaceful village of Kiotari. All the staff are warm and welcoming and travelling solo it was so lovely to be greeted like family on my most recent stay last week. A big thank you to Fotus and Georgios in the restaurant who looked after me so well during my stay. Breakast and dinner have an abundance of delicious choices, and I recommend staying half -board. The reception and poolside staff are all so helpful and kind, too. Nothing is too much trouble for all the staff who want the guest to have a great holiday. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and housekeeping does a great job. The rooms have very comfortable beds and pillows, and having a washing line on the terrace wall is so useful to dry swimwear. Pool towels are supplied free and changed at reception daily. The room is well furnished, has a great shower, has very effective air conditioning, a hairdryer,nightsafe, and mini fridge. The recent great addition of a guest discounted mini supermarket, adjoining the hotel, is very useful. It is also a 3 minute walk to Kiotari beach, which is peaceful and beautiful. I have already rebooked my 4th stay for May next year, knowing I will have a wonderful holiday in a fabulous hotel!

My daughter and I have just returned from a week half board at this lovely relaxing hotel. It has beautifully modern decor, and is kept exceptionally clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and we had no cause to complain about anything. The hotel is relatively small, which we both loved.The food at both breakfast and dinner is self served buffet, with plenty of both hot and cold options available,and a great deal to choose from. The swimming pool is a lovely shape, and more than adequate, and is spotlessly clean, in a very attractive garden setting with plenty of sunbeds and parasols. We would recommend hiring a car from the airport, as Kiotari town itself is not particularly interesting and there are wonderful beaches both in the area, and further afield, as well as lovely areas and villages to visit inland.

Overall: Warm welcome when we arrived in the evening. Staff is very attentive and friendly. We also got the room we requested beforehand. Beautiful building with lots of flowers, modern decor and a nice/warm vibe. Hotel seemed not to be fully booked, which also was nice. We had a private terrace to relax, but could see that the main pool was never crowded. They play lounge music during the day and you could perfectly relax. The location is a bit secluded, which you have to like (we chose it because of that). There‘s a mini market next door, a small supermarket 5 mins away and it‘s only a short walk to the beach. We also chose the hotel because of the good price-performance for the rooms with private pool access. Room: We really liked our superior room with shared pool. Just a heads up: The sink is located right when you step into the room/not in a separate bathroom and was very low (we are 1,75/1,85 and had to bend down). Toilet paper shouldn‘t be thrown in the toilet (which was a surprise to us, so just FYI). The shower head looks like it needs to be replaced and a hook or two to hang a toiletry bag or the like would be nice. There’s a wooden ladder for hanging your bath towels and a counter that provides space though. The room doors are poorly soundproofed as we could hear the cars from the main street. We loved our private terrace with access to a shared pool. They apparently installed a wooden cover last year, getting rid of the umbrellas, however this structure doesn’t really spend any shade. Food: They offer a good quantity, but the taste was a bit bland. For a vegetarian diet you can find fruit/veggies, but especially the dinner buffet focused more on meat. Limited options if you don’t eat fish/cheese. Definitely some room for improvement in terms of quality and variety. If you have booked half board you can switch dinner with lunch in the pool restaurant twice per week which is perfect if you want to dine outside in one of Rhodes beautiful cities (can especially recommend a trip to Lindos). There‘s also a nice fish restaurant directly opposite the hotel.

We have just returned from a relaxing stay at Absolute Kiotari. Very relaxing hotel. Firstly the hotel is in a very quiet area, minimal restaurants within walking distance. This didn’t matter to us, but may be an issue for some. Excellent restaurant just over the road. We had a private pool suite with the bedroom on a mezzanine floor. ‘The death stairs’ as we called them as no bannister and a sharp turn at the bottom, difficult if half asleep going to the loo in the night. The rooms are clean. Beds comfortable but very noisy. Coffee machine in the room but sadly no kettle (I’m a Yorkshire tea lover!). Private pool was a good size, managed to swim lengths which you don’t often get with a private pool. Our terrace got the sun all afternoon. I was told by a receptionist I couldn’t have a parasol for it, however noted others did. Main pool is immaculate and plenty of sun loungers to go around, seemed quiet during the day. 3 evenings in the week had some entertainment which was a nice change. At both breakfast and evening meal there is a huge range of choice, not the best we’ve had but worth it for the price. Restaurant, bar, reception and cleaning staff all very friendly. We would return for another relaxing bit of September sun.
