I was at this hotel from September 15, 2019 to October 2. The overall impressions are very good. If you want peace and quiet, ask for 3 or 4 buildings, they are further from the pool and bar. The room in the room is small, but we only went there to sleep, so it doesn't matter. But the balcony is good. The plumbing was all working, there are no complaints. Towels were changed every day. The nearest beach is 650 meters away, if you don't look at the map in a straight line, but I measured it with a pedometer on my phone. But on the nearest beach there is a bad entry into the water, stones, it is advisable to have slippers for swimming. By the way, an umbrella with two sun loungers on all beaches costs 8 or 10 euros per day. The next beach is sandy 850 meters from the hotel, very nice, but small and there are a lot of people, but the cove is very cozy, we usually swam for 40-50 minutes along the shore, very beautiful, the water is clear. Well, the best beach, the rightmost one, if you look at the sea from the hotel and 950 meters from it. It's pebbly, but the approach is good, you don't need sneakers (we didn't take them to this beach). You can swim along the rocks, or along the beach. The water is clean, there is no dirt or jellyfish. The food was good, in my opinion even better than in Turkey in a 5-star hotel. Meat, fish, vegetables - I especially liked the zajiki sauce - made from local yogurt, cucumbers and garlic, just great cheese. The only thing worse than in Turkey is fruits, there were only watermelons, melons, plums, apples, pears and bananas. Turkey also had tangerines, pomegranates and grapes. There were grapes here 3 times and even then not very much. There is no porridge in the morning, but there is yogurt of different consistency like our sour cream, pancakes and much more, in general, we were well fed. By the way, we had an all inclusive. Kolimbia is a small village, the whole can be walked around in 20 minutes. Rhodes is the place to rent a car. We figured we would take a hotel that is not the coolest by the sea, but with the money saved it is better to rent a car and it is not so important that it is not the first line. There are a dozen rental offices there, but the hotel is definitely not the most expensive rental. 35 euros a day for the first 3 days, then they rented a car, again they took 30 euros each - this is a Corsa with an automatic transmission. 3 km away is the steep sandy beach of Tsambika, 7-10 Anthony Queen Bay, 40 km to the Aegean Sea through the island, to the south of the island - we drove an hour and a half to the place of the kiss of two seas, 5 km to the place of Seven springs, 30 km to the fortress in the city of Rhodes, in general, everything is nearby by car, there is where take a ride, look at the guidebooks and maps. The roads are good, without traffic jams, and in the mountains there will be one car for 5 km. Driving is easy even for an inexperienced driver. Yandex navigator does not work there, use Google maps, they are now like a navigator. Instead of the give way sign (triangle), they have a red STOP sign. International rental rights are not needed, ours are enough, full car insurance - when I received the car, I show it scratched, but it doesn't matter to me - full insurance. In general, take the car if you have a license. And last, there are two girls at the reception desk, one from the Baltic states, speaks Russian without an accent. The owner runs around the hotel all the time, sometimes replaces coffee and tea in the cafe. The hotel is mostly Polish, then German and Russian. Sometimes in the evening, karaoke or a small concert of local dances or something similar, but there is no special entertainment. Numerous discos and nightclubs are in Falirak.
