Mikri Poli

We simply love this place. It‘s been our 9th time there and we will definitely come back again next year simply for one reason: This place makes us happy! It’s like coming home. And this we owe to the amazing staff: Kiki and Katerina from the main office, Giannis from the main restaurant, Besi and his amazing team from the Italian restaurant, Dimitris from the main bar, the lovely ladies from the reception and of course Petros who takes care of everything - just to name some, these people are the reason we come back every year, they have become family and close friends over the years. They ALL do an amazing job and make our stay worthwhile! Our kids have been growing up there and love to return every year because it‘s „their“ hotel and their friends. Every year we meet not only the staff but other families we met here that also have become friends. We love the amazing food, the pools, the entertainment, the beach (with Antonis Water Sports) and the friendly atmosphere. And every year they try to improve and set up new things, for example the Crêperie which is open till 10 at night or the new Italian or Polynasian restaurant - amazing! For us there is no better place, thanks to so many amazing people, without them it wouldn‘t be the same! That the rooms are awesome and very clean thanks to the lovely cleaning staff is needless to say.

I never usually get round to writing reviews but felt compelled to write a review for here. Frequent travellers (quite fussy on quality) first time to Greece. Booked this hotel last minute as we were meeting friends. Me, husband and 12 year old daughter. Would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to pretty much anyone Where to start……… Hotel itself- very modern, clean and tidy. Rooms slightly dated but all amenities you’d need. Clean, tidy, spacious, good shower, comfortable beds, fridge, good air con. Well cleaned daily. Facilities at hotel are excellent. 4 pools. We tended to stick to the main pool (close to the bar 😉) entertainment around pool- singers a few times a week ect (excellent.) big shout out to (I can’t remember their name but 3 lads from Cape Town every Friday! Excellent 👌 Pool with slides were great, lazy river, kids pool, great slides. Didn’t actually go to the other two pools but looked great. Plenty of beds, no queuing, no removing towels. Around the pool has lots to offer. Pool table, machines, crepe/ice cream bar. Didn’t really have too much interaction with the entertainment staff but from what we saw they were excellent and offered lots across all ages. Restaurants….. what can I say. Excellent 👌 main buffet restaurant good, typical all inclusive buffet but clean, lots of options and kids area buffet 👍 Tried two of the 3 À la carte. The Italian is outstanding and unlimited but booking is required. Also went to the À la carte on the beach which was very good. Staff across the board were excellent- bar staff, restaurant manager, reception and entertainment staff. Hotel location was good, nothing directly outside the hotel (great shop in hotel) but 10 minute walk in to the local town which is lovely. I could go on and on about how wonderful this hotel is but I don’t think reviews are meant to be this long 🙈 My only fault…. Walking barefoot around the pool is too hot and the ice is too cold 😉

Here is a version with about 1,900 characters that includes all your points: --- Our vacation at the Atlantica Mikri Poli Rhodes was simply perfect and exceeded our expectations in every respect. The rooms were always clean, the food was varied and very delicious, and the entire hotel staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful at all times. A particularly nice surprise was that I found a lovingly prepared birthday cake in our room on my birthday without any prior announcement. This great gesture made us very happy and shows how much the hotel values its guests. A very special compliment and a huge thank you go to the Pink Wave Animation Team led by Max, Thomas, and Magda. With his warm, loving, and humorous manner, Max took our son's heart by storm. He was always fully passionate and made every day something special. Thomas also provided plenty of fun with his likable manner and the varied sports and entertainment offerings. Magda always ensured the best atmosphere with her daily hosting and accompanied the program with a lot of charm and good humor. The entire Pink Wave team was present, approachable, and genuinely enthusiastic about their work at all times. You could tell that the people working here love their jobs. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for the TUI animation team. Outside of the Kids Club, the entertainers were barely to be seen. The blonde TUI employee from childcare was particularly disappointing. In her interactions with the children during our encounters, she seemed annoyed, stressed, and not very warm. Especially in childcare, we expect patience, friendliness, and joy in working with children – unfortunately, we missed all of that with her. Even at the mini-disco on Pink Wave's nights off, she made a disinterested impression. Overall, the difference between Pink Wave and TUI was clearly noticeable. For us, it is clear: We would come back anytime – especially because of the great Pink Wave team, which made our vacation unforgettable.
