South Rhodes, South Aegean hotel rooms at the Independent

"Fantastic hotel. All staff from porters, reception, bar staff, house cleaning, facilities were incredibly friendly. Private pool cleaned daily and was spotless. Mini fridge stocked daily including extras of the stuff we were using. Great facilities, good edible food at all meal times across all restaurants. Top shelf spirits from friendly bar staff. We will be back in a few weeks for another break."

"Polite and friendly staff. Great room and comfy bed, loved the balcony with sea view. Meal options were tasty and varied. "

"It's a really beautiful resort. Great pools, amazing restaurants and food, champagne bar, entertainment, great gym. The team is amazing. Service is really outstanding. Altzen - one of the drinks waiters - is so incredibly hard working. Chloe from the fitness and entertainments team is so effusive about the resort, and she made an effort every day to talk to and engage with guests. We wouldn't normally go back to the same place but it is so fantastic we have been three times."

"Lovely hotel and good food - sometimes service in the restaurant could be better as we often didn’t get the drinks we requested. But staff were kind and considerate otherwise. A lovely family hotel - highly recommended "

"Amazing luxury hotel, beautiful grounds , on the beach. Food was outstanding "

"Very nice hotel, clean, beautiful beach "

"Beautiful hotel, great service, staff couldn’t be more helpful. "

"We enjoyed our stay at this charming, quiet hotel nestled in a village-like setting with lovely gardens and a small river flowing by the main restaurant. The staff were friendly, hospitable, and eager to assist. While the main restaurant offered a limited menu, the à la carte options more than made up for it with excellent service and delicious food. The beach was pleasant, and the hotel events, especially the traditional folklore night, were enjoyable. However, the room cleanliness was disappointing—dust remained on light switches and floors, the towel rack was oxidized, and the toilet splashed water when flushed, despite daily cleaning. Overall, a lovely location with great hospitality but room for improvement in housekeeping."

"The pictures advertised on expedia.com were a lot different than reality. Bunk bed was not safe and our kids could not use it. Room quality, furniture etc were far from what we had seen on pictures"
