Lindos Imperial Resort & Spa

Positives Good resort overall. We had a great week’s holiday, we felt relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Great for families! The resort is big and spread out so felt like each day was different as we could move around the resort and try different pools. The rooms with pools looked great! We didn’t have one, we had a family room. But would probably book a pool room next time if we come back. The resort is on the beach so you can go there as well as the pool. There is a beach restaurant so everything to hand. The beach is pebbly. Not a negative but if you want a nice sandy beach then this is not. We had to get beach shoes to wear in the sea. The sea was good for snorkelling. Even for the less experienced as quite a few fish in the shallows. Our 5 year old son was able to use the snorkel to see in the shallows. The food was great, a varied buffet with good choices. Slight negative on the kids vegetable options but on the whole we ate well for a week! The 5pm - 1am crepe and ice cream bar was great, a lot of respect for the staff who manned that station every day! A small queue there almost the whole time! Staff were friendly, and the entertainment was fairly good. Standard resort entertainment. The magic show was good and every night had a kids disco. Rooms were nice and clean, comfy bed and plenty of towels provided. The kids room was near the room entrance, so they had more of a noisy room. The shower was great, a nice big walk in shower, which was non slip. Great for family showers with the kids. Good scenery around the hotel, very picturesque. Got up and saw the most amazing sunrises, as our room was facing in the right direction. Not so good for sunset views as most rooms facing in the opposite direction but the sunrises made up for that. Negatives If you are mobility impaired you might struggle with the resort as it’s on quite a steep hill. The activity pool and amphitheater are quite a long uphill walk. There are golf buggies around which I assume are to help people get around (we didn’t get one but we could see them). You have to book the gym in advance, you can’t just go when you want to. As a gym user I found this a little restricting as I could never book an early morning session, also the sessions were for 45 minutes only. Once booked (I got a slot at 4pm and then at midday on another day), the gym was ok. And booking meant it was never full, so you had it to yourself pretty much. It was not a top of the range gym but had a barbell, weights, kettlebells, cable machine (a bit worn down) and treadmills. So enough to do a good workout. Some of the rooms were noisy, we had children running back and forward outside our room a lot at nighttime after 11pm. We were 3109 which was by the lift lobby so possibly why. It didn’t bother us too much but if you want a quieter room then opt for something away from the main lobby. Also stay away the sea side bar - the rooms around there looked like they might be noisy as there was music
