Princess Andriana Resort and Spa

We stayed at Princess Andriana Resort & Spa in Rhodes in October, travelling with our family and several friends’ families — nine of us in total, including children of different ages. One of the things we appreciated most was how thoughtfully the hotel accommodated our room preferences. All our rooms were located next to each other, allowing the children to move easily between them without disturbing other hotel guests. The only thing we missed was having connecting rooms, which we have enjoyed at other resorts. However, thanks to the excellent room arrangement and access through the garden terraces, this wasn’t really an issue. Food – Excellent Variety and Quality The dining experience was very good throughout our stay. There was an impressive selection of dishes every day, with plenty of choices for both adults and children. Even after several days, I could always find something different to enjoy. The restaurant was well maintained, the dishes and cutlery were clean, and the children particularly loved the variety of ice creams and sorbets available. Spa – A Truly Relaxing Experience I also treated myself to a wonderful spa experience. I chose a 70-minute full-body toning massage with Riki, a lovely therapist from the Philippines. It was absolutely delightful! The atmosphere was peaceful, the treatment was professional, and I was able to relax completely. Both the massage itself and the overall experience left me feeling refreshed and wonderfully relaxed. I would definitely recommend booking a treatment with Riki. Water Park – Perfect for Children of Different Ages The water park is a fantastic feature of this hotel, particularly for families with school-aged children. The larger water slides are especially suitable for children aged seven and above. There are plenty of slides to choose from, and they felt safe and well designed. I was comfortable allowing our younger school-aged children to enjoy them independently. Another advantage is that the resort grounds are not excessively large. Children can quickly become familiar with the layout, making it easy for them to find their way around. We also noticed many families with babies and toddlers. The hotel is well equipped for younger guests, offering shallow swimming pools and a separate, quieter water park area with smaller slides suitable for toddlers and children under six or seven. And, of course, there’s the giant tipping water bucket that regularly releases a huge splash of water — always a favourite with the little ones! The Beach – My Favourite Part of the Resort! Although the pools and water park were excellent, the beach was undoubtedly my favourite part of our holiday. Having visited other hotels in Rhodes, I know that not every resort offers such convenient and comfortable access to the sea. Here, the beach is spacious, with plenty of room for sunbathing, beach volleyball and other activities. The small, smooth pebbles were surprisingly comfortable underfoot — I didn’t even need water shoes! The beach felt safe for children, and the sea was absolutely wonderful. Despite visiting in October, the water was incredibly warm and crystal clear. We had arrived from Latvia with stuffy noses and slightly irritated throats, as the weather back home had already turned cold and the heating season had just begun. After a couple of days of swimming in the sea and enjoying the fresh coastal air, everyone was feeling much better! October Weather – Beautiful, but a Little Bit of Luck Is Needed We were incredibly fortunate with the weather. Our holiday coincided with what turned out to be one of the warmest and sunniest weeks of October. However, I would point out that travelling to Rhodes at this time of year involves some weather-related risk. The periods before and after our stay were much rainier, so we were particularly lucky to enjoy such beautiful sunshine and warm sea temperatures. Overall Impression Princess Andriana Resort & Spa is an excellent choice for families travelling with children, especially those holidaying together with friends. The thoughtful room arrangements, excellent food, enjoyable spa treatments, family-friendly water park and beautiful beach made our stay truly memorable. What I especially appreciated was the balance between activities for children and opportunities for adults to relax. The resort is large enough to offer plenty of entertainment but compact enough to feel comfortable and easy to navigate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Princess Andriana to families looking for a relaxing, comfortable holiday in Rhodes!

So deeply sad to say this will be out final of several trips to the Andriana. We have previously loved ot so much but have been so very sad this week and wish we had stayed home. The waterpark is a great addition and they have done a great job of the surrounding area... but this time the place was like any other off the shelf brits abroad all inclusive.

The breakfast area was chaos qith queues for everything, so stressful. For the first time ever the food was so samey The smoking is ridiculous with surrounding neighbours on their balcony interchanging with cigarettes and weed...smoking areas right next to the outside restaurant seating and loungers. There are so few areas to sit inside and where the balcony was once split in to smoking and non smoking it is now all smoking

Parents monitoring their kids in the pool from balconies 2 floors up shouting down was ridiculous. How are they allowed to leave them unattended?

The worst part is the staff were so miserable, the cheery people at the restaurant door were miserable , the cleaners were grumpy...it was just an all together sad experience...we kept trying to focus on positives but there was just so little for teens to do, that the only way to do something other than sit was to take day trips. The animation crew who were everywhere last time we visited were barely around

It is sad to say but this lovely hotel has sold itself out and while some will love it, it isnt the quiet high quality happy place it once was 😞

This accommodation ticked all of the boxes and made for a superb stay - the rooms were very clean, tidy and comfortable. The facilities including the swimming pool and on-site restaurants were first class. There was a dizzying array of food to choose from and the staff always went the extra mile for us.

Additionally the hotel location was advantageous in relation to the town and airport.
