Costa Lindia Beach

I wish I could comment on a great holiday at Costa Lindia Beach Resort, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We booked through LoveHoliday and arrived on the 3rd of September, only to be told at midnight that the resort was fully booked. We were then informed that we had been "upgraded" to a more "suitable" hotel next door, Lindos Princess Beach Hotel. Given the late hour and the fact that we'd been traveling since 9 am, we had little choice but to accept the change. This was particularly difficult as we were traveling with a 6-month-old baby and half a dozen bags. Despite this, no assistance was offered by the hotel. Upon arriving at Lindos Princess, the grand lobby and helpful staff initially gave a good impression. However, we were quickly made aware that there was no 24-hour room service, a service offered at Costa Lindia. Instead, the staff provided us with ham and cheese sandwiches—far from ideal for us as vegetarians. The room we were given was dated, and we had to sleep in separate beds, but we were too tired to complain. The following morning, we headed down for breakfast, only to find a chaotic scene with guests scrambling for seats and food. The food quality was poor and certainly not what one would expect from a 5-star hotel. A quick search revealed that Lindos Princess is actually a 4-star hotel, meaning we were not upgraded but downgraded. The issues didn't stop there. The constant noise from the entertainment team, the limited dining options despite the "all-inclusive" package, and the lack of concern for non-smoking areas around children all added to our dissatisfaction. This review is to warn others: do not book Costa Lindia Beach Resort or Lindos Princess Beach Hotel. The practice of overbooking and then shuffling guests to a lower-rated hotel is unacceptable, and from what I've read, this isn't an isolated incident. Save yourself the disappointment and choose a hotel that respects its guests and delivers on its promises.

Lovely hotel and staff were so kind and attentive. Nice little town outside the hotel as well. Tommy and his Entertainment staff were brilliant as was Maria and her catering staff. Special mention to Vassilis the Utopia bar manager who helped to make our holiday super special.

Poor experience manager is very cut throat and asked staff to make sure wristband was cut off as I was leaving, not sure if this was in fear I would sneak back in or what but just didn’t give you that 5 star feeling and felt as if we were being hunted from the hotel

When we arrived we were told the hotel had overbooked and subsequently had booked us into the hotel next door - the Lindos Princess. They hadn’t told us or the travel company we booked through prior to us leaving the UK, they just booked us into the 4* next door and didn’t refund us the difference. It was gone midnight when we arrived and they didn’t even have enough staff to help us move our luggage next door, we also had our 6 month old baby and all her equipment. No help. The receptionist told us it was an ‘upgrade’ of course it wasn’t as we had booked into a 5* and were moved involuntarily to a 4*. I think this is basically theft. I booked this in March, 6 months ago. We tried to speak to the reception manager the next day and she was very nice but told us this is happening all the time and they have no room for us, we were not the first family this had happened to that week… she wasn’t sure why it was happening and seemed very frustrated with it herself. They would also not issue anything in writing. We were told we could use the facilities but with no room on site, of course we have a baby so that wouldn’t work. do not think because you booked here you will stay here, you won’t know for sure until you actually arrive. They will not communicate with you. It is a term called ‘walking’ where the hotel will book you in somewhere else. They will probably keep the highest paid reservations only. If I could give you any advice it would be to avoid this hotel like the plague, especially if you have children, it was a nightmare and I’m having to seek legal help now I’m home.

We had an amazing vacation at Costa Lindia Beach Resort! The resort itself is beautiful with stunning rooms, and the overall experience was fantastic. A special shoutout to Jeno, the bartender at the Aqua Pool Bar, and Anjesa, the bartender at the Beach Bar. Both made our stay extra enjoyable, but Jeno in particular stood out with his professionalism and the delicious cocktails he crafted! The service at the resort was excellent. Whenever we had an issue, we reported it to the reception, and they immediately addressed it. However, there were a few downsides. Every morning around 7:30, the housekeepers would gather outside our room to eat, chat, and watch TikTok, which woke us up earlier than we would have liked. Also, our balcony was never cleaned, leading to a lot of ants there, which was a bit of a nuisance. Lastly, the towel service was quite odd – we had to walk across the street to another hotel’s spa to get fresh towels, which was inconvenient. Overall, despite these small issues, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend the resort for its great service and lovely atmosphere.

Had a great weeks holiday at the Costa Lindia Beach Resort with my family. Booked an upgraded room with swimming pool access. The room did not disappoint as was very modern and had been recently refurbished. A bonus was that the swim up pool bar was opposite. (Room 205). Food during the week was of a very good quality and variety, there are a number of themed restaurants which get booked up quickly online each day. Good variety of drinks & cocktails available and at times you had to wait slightly to be served, but nothing drastic. Overall the hotel was very clean and staff were very friendly especially Tommy from the animations team who made us feel welcome. Location was ideal as slightly quieter area, but only €15 taxi ride to Lindos.( St Paul’s bay is stunning!) Hotel Beach had lots of sun beds available & water sports at an extra cost. Had a blast out on a jet ski for €40 which seemed reasonable. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back again.
