Amada Colossos Resort

A blissful stay in this beautiful all inclusive hotel. The hotel offers three types of ‘all inclusive’ and we chose the tier ‘Diamond’. With Diamond, you can choose from a few types of Sea View Suite and we chose the Executive Suite. This had a bedroom, living room, enormous walk in wardrobe and very big bathroom with shower and separate bath. Our room happened to be on the 9th floor so our views out to sea were quite extraordinary. We also had a lovely balcony which was perfect for a cup of coffee in the morning or enjoying the evening entertainment. The key point about Diamond is that as long as the A La Carte restaurants have availability, you can book to eat in those every night as part your inclusive package. The three restaurants were fantastic, each offering a different experience and a great variety of dishes. We were lucky that there was space every night to book in and so we ate at each restaurant twice - delightful. The service was fantastic and waiters were extremely knowledgable. Also with the Diamond package you are able to use an adults only ‘Executive Lounge’ which had its own terrace area. We would usually go here for pre-dinner drinks because it was a very nice calming atmosphere and to get the last of the sun. We used room service twice to have breakfast in our room and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They took our specific preferences and delivered that and more. It was a lovely experience to have our breakfast on the balcony in the morning sun. Whenever we called down to reception with a question they were very quick to respond. And even small touches like having a glass of sparkling wine on the balcony in the evening was never too much for them. Everything is so clearly signposted and explained for you even though the hotel is very big. This made it so easy to find out everything, from when the quietest time to visit the main restaurant was, to when their four bars would be open (it’s usually six I think but we went at a quieter time) through to their schedule of activities during the day (such as yoga in the mornings). They have a small gym onsite with cardio and weights machines, a spa and a child care / child minding service (although you do have to pay extra for the latter two, the gym is free). As previously mentioned it’s extremely easy to take a day trip out to Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Lindos and Kallithea Springs all from the bus stop outside the hotel. We would highly recommend a visit to the water park just across the road - incredible fun even for an adult couple like ourselves and in May we didn’t queue for anything of the slides! As there is usually always evening entertainment near the pool, you may wish to consider a Hill View Room if you are very sound sensitive. The entertainment/ live music / DJ is always great fun and finished by 2230 (and almost always well before). We did not find it intrusive at all and rather enjoyed dancing on the balcony. Do not be put off by how large this hotel seems in the pictures. There were about 800 people staying at the same time as us and not once did we feel like it was busy or cramped. If you choose the Diamond package, we would recommend sitting down with your host on your first day and scheduling in your A La Carte reservations - this is not because of any inconvenience we experienced but we think we were very lucky to be able to get the reservations we requested on each individual day and we reflect that in busier times, it may not be wise to rely on the method we used incase avaliability means you are not able to get your first choice. The staff could not have been more friendly, happy to help and professional. I’ve never experienced hotel service and welcoming staff like I have at Amada and we would recommend a stay to anyone whether they are a couple of a family. I would highly recommend the Diamond Package, as we felt it was exceptional value for money given the experience we had. Thank you to the whole team both front of house and support staff for our amazing stay!

Back from a 10 day holiday - had the most amazing time, I was so worried before going as some reviews were not so good, but during our stay we had absolutely no complaints. Rooms are lovely, with modern decor we had a sea view which I would definitely recommend. Food was always good in the hotel & down at the beach bar - Italian, Asian and Greek restaurants were both lovely aswell. Some reviews stated difficulties booking into these - we had no issue what so ever. People also have left reviews complaining about queues - we never had an issue with these either. Staff were always so friendly. On our first few days of holidays I did reserve sunbeds from 8am and towels were never removed - but later on in the holiday just note they were definitely reinforcing the rule of not reserving sunbeds before 10am. When we arrived in at the hotel it was late, probably 10:30pm - we were able to go down to the restaurant where there were some light bites to eat. Our flight home wasn’t until 11:30pm, we were able to book a room that evening for half an hour to be about to shower etc before our flight, this was great as it meant we still had the full day by the pool / beach. The interior is so modern & the cleanliness of the hotel was immaculate. I will definitely return to this hotel in the future, for anyone still to visit pass no remarks on the negative reviews, I couldn’t find anything to complain about.

Love, love, love!! Beautiful hotel in a great location. Only downside is Pepsi served not coke, but this is just personal preference. Would be lovely to have nicer cups used to serve around the pool. Cocktails in paper cups isn’t the same!! But apart from those tiny niggles, fantastic hotel. Strongly recommend. Buffet food is restaurant quality every meal!!

Relatively close to the airport, ~30min ride. Facilities are new and in great shape and are kept in pristine cleanliness. Food quality is above average for this kind of mass dinings halls. Pools are shallow and are not suitable for sportive swimming, but the beach is extremely close and easily accessible. Children activities are available and in an average quality. Kids clubs and facilities are very basic.

you need shoes on the beach, the water is wonderfully clean (9/10), the resort was a bit small, many people crowded in the main season (8/10) the food was amazing (11/10)
