Oasis Hotel Bungalows Rhodes- All Inclusive

This will be a long review, but stick with it as I will share the whole experience of staying here. First impressions: we arrived very late to the hotel but they had arranged for the bar to stay open so that we could at least get a drink before being shown to our rooms, which after several hours of travel we were looking forward to getting into. The walk from reception to our room took us past the pool and through some lovely scented gardens. Once inside the room the gloss of our first impressions faded somewhat. The bathroom looked as if an elderly relative hadn’t updated it since 1978; the garishly furnished porcelain consisted of a blue bath, blue sink and an odd shaped blue toilet that I doubt you’d still be able to buy the parts for. At least it flushed, our friends in another room weren’t so lucky. The bed was satisfactory, the lack of powers outlets less so. We had two. One was above the TV on the wall and the other next to a light switch outside the bathroom. The Grounds: outside the front door of our bungalow we had a grapefruit tree. Round the back, limes. Throughout the rest of the grounds other well established plants included bananas, grapes, apples, and olives. The pavements are largely cobbled and there are large lawns with sun beds and shade, and plenty of areas around the pool for lounging. The grounds are well looked after and a pleasure to walk through. There is a fence at the rear of the property where in a field next door there are deer, chickens and a rabbit. The Pool: what it lacks in area it makes up for in depth, with it being 3m at its deepest. The slope from shallow to deep is sharp and there is not a lot of space for non-swimmers to cool off in before they are on tiptoes. We stayed as they were about to close for the season so there was always plenty of space to sit around the pool, I suspect in busier times loungers adjacent to it might be at a premium. The pool bar: this was unmanned due to a tragic accident to the person that usually runs it. Therefore you were allowed to serve yourself, which sounds like a dream but the local spirits they were offering were absolutely terrible. They all tasted the same and were half the usual ABV of branded spirits. If you had a degree in chemistry it was possible to use the soda machines and a combination of the various bottles to make something that resembled a cocktail, but by the time you’d taken it back to where you were sitting and had a sip from the very small glasses you were back to wondering what else you could make that didn’t just taste like Mr. Sheen and orange juice. The food: Oh dear. This is where things start to take an unpleasant turn. Some people said it was the worst food they have ever been served and that the restaurant felt only three minutes away a film crew and a swearing Gordon Ramsey. Its critics were less kind. Breakfast is mainly dreadful with bacon that looks a bit like it’s never been anywhere near a pig, cold eggs, small frankfurter s

I’ll start by saying I love this place, so quaint and beautiful. I read all the reviews and checked out the area before booking this place. I needed a flat area as I’m not over a slipped disk but walking is good for me if it’s flat. Many reviews mentioned the food and yes it’s not brilliant but there’s usually a fair selection so something is normally there that you’d like. Most people mentioned breakfast was the best meal, but for me it was the worst. But I switched to yoghurt and then bread with honey. The bread is not always fresh though and then they replaced the soft butter spread with a large block of what they said was butter but tasted like cheese. On to lunch and dinner, as I said usually there was something to fill your plate with, I liked the lentil and chickpea dishes and added meat. The only potatoes available were chips. On the fourth day of our stay, which is today, they got rid of the chickpea and lentil dishes, plus the chips. Instead oof 10 h dishes there were now 5. This included pasta, with what they called bolognaise which was actually boiled mince and apparently tasteless. Mixed frozen veg, a white sauce and 2 meats. That was lunch and tonight roughly the same. I just had chicken. Is was that or cry, which I may do anyway. As I said I love the place itself and if they found a chef who could cook I’d be back. The one person who works here who really impresses me is the guy who cleans the pool, gardens, does maintenance and looks after the pool area. Probably a lot more too, he works so hard. Maybe he can cook? The guy who works here who booked us in and showed us our room was also very helpful and friendly. I have three days left here and not sure I can face mealtimes.

The hospitality was amazing and the staff are super friendly and thoughtful, the beach is only a fifteen minute walk away, which is good, and if you dont want to walk you can take the bus which is right across the road from the hotel, I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be coming back.

Food:Well, even if you're trying to save money, I would advise against it. The food is ordinary, some meat dishes smell bad, and the appearance is unappetizing. Cleanliness:THE HOTEL IS NOT CLEAN. Mold, mildew, and dirty faucets or floors are common occurrences. Rooms: Some rooms may have issues with air conditioning. The rooms vary greatly; some are cramped while others are spacious. The beds are not comfortable. A positive aspect is the beautiful greenery around the cottages. Location:One of the advantages of this hotel is its location: one kilometer from the sea, a bus stop nearby, close to a busy street and a shop, though the traffic lights don't always work.

A lovely hotel with gorgeous well kept gardens. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Good choice of all inclusive drinks and food . Nice pool area which is cleaned daily, would definitely recommend. Well located with a bus stop outside around 25 minutes to Lindos and Rhodes Town.

Beautiful Greek resort Food.... very tasty but very little choice and set out very weirdly and in a very old way if you haven't been before expect it to be basic and not much here. Pool...stunning and loverly deep but not once was it cleaned it does has green skanky scum going allway round and dirt in the bottom but when your in that 40 degree heat needs must ...and we became ill whether this was the pool of from the room not sure but we was all ill the whole holiday . Staff... very polite pool bar lad very lazy but nice enough you don't really see anyone cleaning anything Rooms..bedding didnt get changed the whole time we was there towels did Beautiful place very stunning Would not ever go back even if it was cheap The place needs up dating on food and rooms The food was very tasty but the salad was all mixed together so if you didn't like tomato then you got to sit n pick it out ... and the salad bowl is just sat on the side with no ice round it just in a dish.. theres no niceness in the diningroom its like an infant school hall. Old and dusty . The yoghurt was plonked on a big plastic bowl on the side with no ice round it no cover and it was like warm not nice . No entertainment at all at night !!
