Lindian Village All-Inclusive Resort, Rhodes hotel review
Location
Lindian Village All-Inclusive Resort is on the east coast of Rhodes, some 13km from the town of Lindos, famed for its Acropolis and picturesque sandy beach. It is about an hour from the Rhodes airport (60km) and the famous Unesco World Heritage Rhodes old town. The hotel is in a rural setting, with a handful of tavernas and shops dotted around, but not much else. If you are in the mood for a resort holiday where you mainly enjoy the facilities at the hotel, this is your place.
The vibe
Rustic, minimal and chic – the resort is low key and casual. A babbling stream with waterfalls runs through the centre of the resort, which is, as the name suggests, a village of rooms, restaurants, bars and shops. The swimming area is large, with three pools of varying depths surrounded by a wealth of sun loungers. Beyond that is the private beach, which is pebbly and, in all honesty, could do with a bit of care.
Part of the Hilton Curio Collection, the hotel was opened in the nineties but has been extended over the years. For 2025, Lindian Village has gone all-inclusive for the first time.
The service
The faultless staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The main restaurant team led by Maria were accommodating to the challenges of dining with youngsters. My daughter requested fish fingers for lunch and dinner every day for a week – and her (off menu!) demands were always met with warmth and grace. Elpida at guest relations was a total superstar, with no request too small.
Bed and bath
There are 188 rooms and suites across four categories. At the top is Ottoman, then River Passage, Bohemian and finally Mediterraneo or Standard. There is an impressive variety of room options, especially for families. Many offer the ability to section-off bedrooms or sleeping areas. All of the Standard rooms are large enough to comfortably fit a cot and the Standard family rooms also have a pull-out bed.
Every room features outdoor space, be it an expansive patio with hot tub or a simple sea-view balcony. Inside, you'll find amenities such as Nespresso machines and 32-inch TVs.
Bathrooms come with at least a rainfall shower, or a shower and a separate bath. You'll also find fluffy robes, slippers and Hei Poa or Codage toiletries across the board.
We did have some issues with our room. The water often ran quite brown, and hot water was hit and miss. The hotel had been open just a week when we visited, so hopefully this was just teething issues.
Food and drink
Estia is the main restaurant, which is where the hotel's all-inclusive buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner is served. The food is fine. It isn't ground-breaking - but you won't go hungry and there is something for everyone at every sitting.
Then you have the more specialised restaurants, which you can visit once a week per booking. Era Ora is the Italian trattoria which offers crowd-pleasing classics. It serves a lovely carbonara and fabulous carpaccio. Niku is the resort's not-particularly-authentic but tasty Japanese restaurant, set in a beautiful spot overlooking the river. Finally, there is the Alas Ouzeri with a classic Rhodes-inspired menu.
Facilities
Lindian Village has two kids' clubs: a creche for children aged 4 months to 3 years and the Waves Kids Club for 4 to 12-year-olds. The latter is free, but the creche costs 40 Euros for one, and 60 Euros for two sessions a day per child. Both are open for two sessions: 10am-1pm or 3-6pm.
Siiri and Amparo, the two childcare professionals tasked with looking after my rascals, made the holiday for them. My daughter begged to go to kids club every day, which meant we could actually relax and enjoy our holiday.
On the topic of relaxation, there is the Calli Spa offering a small but perfectly formed menu of treatments from facials to manicures and waxing. Both the aromatherapy and the deep tissue massages were excellent. This is as well as the large pool area and private beach.
There are five adapted rooms, plus the grounds are on flat land with some ramp access.
Check in/check out
Check in from 3pm; check out by 12pm.
Family friendly?
Yes. As well as a number of family-friendly room options and kids' club, babysitting services are provided for €15 an hour.

The beautiful Greek island where five-star luxury hotels cost less than £250 per night - and it's loved by Lady Gaga
Full of surprises for first time visitors, Crete has a fascinating history that begins with the Minoans, Classical Greeks and Romans - plus a traditional rural life that plods on much as it has done for centuries. Head into the hills, awash with wildflowers in spring, to discover monasteries run by bee-keeping monks and small communities producing their own olive oil (there are around 40 million olive trees on the island). Shepherding remains a common occupation, and you'll hear the tinkle of goat and sheep bells long before you see them. Beach resorts vary greatly from swanky Elounda (where the likes of Lady Gaga go) to cheap-as-chips party central Malia (as featured in The Inbetweeners movie). The island's major archaeological site, the Palace of Knossos, was excavated between 1900 and 1930 by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans. FOR... £540 A NIGHT On a hillside between Hersonissos and Malia sits the Nana Princess, one of the island's most luxurious hotels: imagine 107 jet black stone, sea-view suites and villas topped with verdant living roofs. Spend days lounging by the pool or at the spa (widely accepted as one of the island's best), or go by private transfer for tastings at nearby wineries. Rooms are generous and brightened by eye-catching original artworks. Techies will love all the clever gadgets (the mirror concealed TVs are inspired). There are two classy restaurants, one focusing on meat and the other on seafood, where you can dine on catch of the day with a side of 'wild greens' such as fennel and asparagus (proving that even the poshest places are keeping the island's tradition for foraging alive). OR... £221 A NIGHT Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the sprawling, family-owned, five-star resort of Creta Maris (with 600-plus rooms), sits on the outskirts of Hersonissos and resembles a traditional Cretan village of whitewashed buildings dripping with bougainvillea. New for this season is an adult-only outside area that offers a beach bar, vast sea-view pool and three hot pools set in pretty gardens with sun loungers, beach cabanas, and a spa pavilion. All public areas, including the spa, which offers olive oil massages, have been recently upgraded. For sundowners and a bird's eye view of the bay, nab a swing-chair at Adama cocktail bar. New for this season is an adult-only outside area that offers a beach bar, vast sea-view pool and three hot pools set in pretty gardens with sun loungers, beach cabanas, and a spa pavilion Dining is exceptional with seven speciality restaurants alongside a standard buffet. Pithos serves farm-to-table fare from local producers, while fish restaurant Alatsi has candle-lit tables by the sea. At the breakfast buffet, try a Greek pie (the aubergine with feta is delicious), and yoghurt topped with honey made from wildflower-sipping bees. Rooms at the front of the hotel enjoy Med views; at the back, it's mountains that star.
