Louis Colossos Beach

Excellent all-round choice for a family holiday We’ve had a great stay at Amada Colossos and, particularly for a family with teenagers, think it’s an excellent all-round choice for an all-inclusive holiday. The first thing to mention is how immaculately clean the hotel is. That goes from the rooms right through to the pool areas. The pool crew are out cleaning from around 7am every morning and clearly work incredibly hard to keep everything looking good. Sunbeds: yes, the usual sunbed-reserving starts almost at dawn! They disappear, by around 8am most of the pool beds have been claimed. However, there are plenty of beds down on the beach. The sea is absolutely beautiful — crystal clear and blue. The beach itself could be better. There are lots of small pebbles mixed through the sand, some of which are surprisingly ouchy underfoot! Apparently it used to be much sandier and I do think regularly raking the beach would make a real difference. It certainly hasn’t stopped us enjoying the sea though. The buffet is really good. Yes, it gets busy at peak times, but we’ve never waited long and the restaurant team operate like a very well-oiled machine. Waiter Phaselis is also lovely first thing in the morning when you can wander in for an early coffee. The à la carte restaurants are nice enough and provide a welcome change from the buffet, although probably not the strongest à la carte offering we’ve experienced at an all-inclusive. Our tip if you fancy a change is to jump in a taxi to Rhodes Old Town. It costs around €26 each way, but there is an amazing choice of restaurants and bars and for us it has been well worth the investment for a night out. There’s a really good range of daytime activities, particularly if you have older children or teenagers: darts, stretching, aqua gym, table tennis, water polo and beach volleyball among others. A huge shout-out to Victoria, Cola and the whole entertainment team, who are excellent and bring loads of energy. Plus pool slides (although great waterpark over the road!!) The evening shows are probably a bit ish for adults, if I’m honest, but perfectly pleasant and the younger kids seem to love them. There is also regular live entertainment around the bars in the evenings. The bar staff are fabulous — incredibly friendly and impressively quick even when it’s busy. Special mention to Ibrahim and Maria, who have been brilliant. There are lots of other little wins too: yummy frozen yoghurt during the day, a coffee shop for the essential morning iced latte, plenty going on without the hotel feeling relentlessly organised, and everything is very easy. Overall, there are lots of plus points here for a family holiday with teenagers. It’s worth remembering that this is a large all-inclusive resort, so judge it in that context: it gets busy, the evening entertainment won’t be everyone’s thing and there are little areas that could be improved. But it’s exceptionally clean, very well run, the staff are excellent, there’s plenty for everyone to do and that gorgeous blue Aegean sea is right outside. We’d happily recommend it.
