Electra Palace Rhodes is one of the most interesting hotels in Greece. It was built back in 1974, but reconstruction was carried out in 2007, so the hotel is modern and original. It is notable for its art deco style, which also used Italian elements. However, style is not the only feature of the hotel.
Location
Electra Palace Rhodes is located on the island of Rhodes. And to be more precise, in a city called Ialyssos. It is located in the northwest of the island. The international airport is 10 minutes by car from the hotel, which is very convenient. By the way, from the hotel at your fingertips. After all, the building is located on the coast.
Ialyssos, by the way, is an extremely popular city. Rhodes, the capital, is 8 kilometers from it. And the city itself is famous not only for its rich history and appearance in the 1500s BC, but also for its climate and weather conditions. It is an ideal place for sailing and various types of surfing. After all, powerful north-westerly winds always reign here , catching big waves. That is why Ialysos holds international championships in water sports.
Entertainment
At Electra Palace Rhodes there are a huge number of ways to brighten up your leisure time. There is an indoor pool, a gym, a private beach (the main tourist attraction), bike rental, darts, billiards, karaoke and even a library. Also every evening there are animated shows and parties. By the way, there is tennis (both table and full). And for the kids that their parents took with them on vacation, there is a separate playground and a mini club.
Lovers of relaxation with both soul and body will definitely enjoy the presence of a SPA center in the hotel. There you can devote time to health and beauty treatments, visit the massage room, take a steam bath in the Turkish bath and sauna, soak in the jacuzzi. However, the list of services offered there is quite impressive. Arriving at the SPA-salon, guests will be able to familiarize themselves with it and choose a procedure that will appeal to them.

Classic economist
This is the first category of rooms that I would like to touch upon. In Electra Palace Rhodes Resort 5 * they are quite popular. Largely due to its relatively low price.
The room is 25 square meters. There are two single beds next to each other. There is a plasma TV with satellite channels, a balcony, and also such trifles as a radio, telephone, air conditioning, safe. It is possible to connect heating. The spacious, clean and bright bathroom has a bathtub with shower, hairdryer, bathrobes with slippers for each guest, as well as small hygiene kits with French cosmetics: shower gels, body lotions, shampoos, razors, and liquid soap. There is also a fridge and an electric kettle.
A week of living in such apartments for two will cost about 35-38 thousand rubles (with half board). However, prices often differ. Depending on the season. Sometimes you can save 20-30%. It is worth knowing about it.
By the way, apartments with sea views will cost about 47 thousand rubles. These rooms besides the landscape opening from a balcony can brag of even more magnificent interior.
For three
The hotel also has different 2-bed apartments (superior, with different views, etc.), but it’s better to talk in more detail about those rooms that are designed for three people. Their area is slightly larger - 28 square meters. In addition to two single beds, folding sofas are also installed in the rooms. The conditions are the same as in the above apartments. But for three people the room will cost 70,000 rubles (half board included). This is the price of apartments with a pool visible from the balcony. For an option with a sea view, you will need to overpay about 5,000 rubles.
By the way, when creating a reservation request, you should definitely indicate in the additional wishes section information about what exactly the guests want to watch from their window. Even if guests initially reserve a room with a sea view. Better to clarify.
Junior Suites
This category of apartments in Electra Palace Rhodes (Greece) is also popular. The area of these rooms is 35 square meters. m. Inside there are two single beds and the same number of folding sofas. The space, by the way, is divided into living and sleeping areas. There are coffee and tea making facilities, a DVD player, a plasma, a bathroom, and bathrobes with slippers for all guests. Otherwise, everything is the same as in other apartments.
About 108,000 rubles will have to be paid to four guests per week of stay (with half board). But this is if you want a room with a view of the garden. Apartments with a balcony overlooking the pool and the sea are 5,000 more expensive.
Suites
Hotel Electra Palace Rhodes received extremely positive reviews. And the comments left by people who were here, prompt many others to visit this place. Many go on vacation with large companies. Spacious suites are created for such guests.
Their area is 38 square meters. m. Four sleeping places, a bathroom - all the same as in the previously mentioned rooms. Here are just two apartments in the apartment, separated by doors. This creates a certain privacy. Convenient, especially for companies that travel in pairs. The cost of apartments with garden views is 120,000 rubles for four per week (half board is included).
Lastly, a few words about the so-called deluxe suites. These are numbers located near the sea. Their area is 55 square meters. m. And they cost 150 thousand rubles a week. However, living in such apartments is a real pleasure. And as you know, you have to pay for it.
What do tourists say?
People who have already been to the Electra Palace Rhodes 5 * leave reviews mostly positive. As the guests say, this is an ideal hotel for youth recreation. Here you can do water sports, see interesting sights, take a walk. The sea is exciting, the winds are strong, therefore people with children should not go here. But on the beach there are free umbrellas with sun loungers, which is quite convenient.
They note the level of staff training. All are polite, courteous, and there are also Russian-speaking workers who are always ready to help or suggest something.
The area is very clean. It’s nice to stay at the hotel, I don’t even want to leave - as many say. Most recommend a hotel for people who want to get the most out of their vacation and enjoy a high level of service. They assure: there is no need to regret the choice.
