Our stay was amazing. We were lucky enough to get our room upgraded to a villa - the views and room itself were beautiful.Staff were so kind, welcoming & helpful.We had bed & breakfast and there was so much to choose from at the breakfast buffet.Atmosphere is very relaxing, and a really nice hike next door if that’s something you want to do.Recommend getting a car as there is a local taxi but it gave us the freedom to visit lots of different places.We had a lovely stay, would highly recommend staying here.
We stayed at the end of April and on arrival were told they'd given us a free upgrade to the villa room which had a private pool. The service from start to finish was incredible and it was the most relaxing holiday we've been on. We had a breakfast only reservation and the selection each morning was incredible. We had food in the evening in the restaurant a couple times and each time we really enjoyed our meals. We'll definitely be coming back in the future for a relaxing holiday.One thing that was really handy is that there was a car rental vendor on site meaning we could rent a car from the hotel and drop it off at the end of our stay which we found really convenient and would do again if needed. Really recommend here for a peaceful, relaxing holiday with a location that made it easy to get to Old Town and Lindos.
Our stay at Casa Cook was incredible! From the rooms to the service and food. Three of us got a suite with our own pool which was well worth it. The entire staff was so helpful and friendly particularly our favorite Amgad! Everything was 5 stars, the only reason I gave the location 4 was if you are looking for a more traditional beach you will need to go a few mins to a beach club however we enjoyed exploring.
Stayed here last week and were lucky enough to be upgraded to a Prestige Suite. It was amazing and our whole experience was exceptional. We arrived late due to flight times. Tired and a bit hungry. The wonderful host was extremely jovial and we had some good banter. We were given a free lunch voucher as we had missed the evening meal (we were half board) and we're told there was some food in our villa. It was some nice breads, cheese and meats. Perfect. The next day we explored the complex and local town. It had all you could wish for. We indulged in some massage treatments which were very good and relaxing. Our free lunch was a massive amount of food. Be careful!We had a bottle, or two, of fresh water every day for our room. The pool was regularly cleaned and the jacuzzi was great to relax in. Only heated by the sun, so if it's cloudy or either end of high season, you would need to be brave. Our space was beautiful and private. It is adult only and everyone, at least while we were there, were quiet and respectful. It was a great zen experience.The breakfast buffet was extensive and plentiful and of good quality. The staff were always friendly, helpful and courteous. The evening half board option was a good choice for us. The meals were again good quality, sufficiently varied and plentiful.We enjoyed many delicious cocktails. Premium ingredients were used and presentation was impressive. For me it has certainly set the bar high for my next holiday and I would definitely consider returning.We hired a car from the airport which was ideal for us to explore. We used Rodos cars. They had a representative at the hotel. Depending on what you wanted from a holiday car hire is a good idea. The roads were fine.The location of the place was incredible. The back drop of mountains was stunning. We were not brave enough to go hiking up to the monastery but enjyloyed relaxing by the pool while others did.
Everything was absolutely perfect! We had the loft suite, we had beautiful views and very private lounging despite being shared pool! The hot tub in the room was good fun and the half board food was incredible! They give you all the appetisers which is food I wouldn’t typically order but was all delicious and gave you a great opportunity to try new stuff. Every person we spoke to that worked there was so friendly and helpful. Doesn’t get any better, would recommend to anyone.
