“A wonderful family holiday with a truly caring team”

We stayed at the Aulus Lindos by Hilton as a family in May 2026, and it was a wonderful holiday experience. Our daughter especially loved the Mini Club. She was looked after with so much care and kindness, and it was wonderful to see how warmly the team treated the children. Everyone was very friendly and genuinely made an effort to ensure that guests felt welcome and enjoyed their stay. One person who deserves a special mention is Operations Manager Katerina. She has a remarkable way of making guests feel seen and valued. She takes care of every request, no matter how small, and always tries to find the best possible solution. You can tell that hospitality is not just her job – it is truly her passion and calling. Her dedication and personal commitment make a real difference to the overall guest experience. We particularly enjoyed the pools. The separate areas for children and adults were very well designed, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the holiday in their own way. The hotel also has direct access to a beautiful beach with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas, which made beach days very comfortable. The all-inclusive concept was another highlight for us. We especially liked the variety of soft drinks available and the snack bar, which was perfect for a quick bite during the day. When we arrived, the hotel had only been reopened for about three weeks, and there were still some improvements, optimizations, and renovation works taking place. However, the entire team was very committed and worked hard to make everything as pleasant as possible for the guests. We really appreciated their dedication and positive attitude. The food was delicious overall, with a good selection, and we were also very satisfied with our room. Everything was clean and comfortable, and it provided everything we needed for a relaxing family holiday. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation for us. We enjoyed our time at the Aulus Lindos by Hilton very much and are sure that we will come back again soon. Thank you to Katerina and the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable!

Wow, what a difference one person can make to your holiday!! The Operations Manager, Katerina, was simply fantastic. If it wasn’t for her and her never-ending desire to help us, our holiday would have been terrible. Let me explain… The reception staff were, on our arrival, sour-faced and miserable looking. Prior to leaving the UK, we had requested a room close to our friends. When checking-in, we asked if we were near each other, they refused to answer the question. Turns out we were relatively close but here’s the issue… despite paying for the same room type as our friends, we had been given a lower standard room and the reception staff simply refused to believe us and tried, several times, to fob us off with “that’s the category you booked”. In stepped Katerina and the problem was sorted within 24 hours and we were moved to the room type we had paid for. Katerina then became our “go to” person and troubleshooter. She welcomed feedback, good and bad, and then set about resolving issues without fuss and with a great big smile. Thank you, Katerina, for everything you did. Room We had a Suite with Private Pool. Despite the initial issues with room allocation, the room we eventually got was great. It was very spacious, clean, had a lovely, relatively private garden area and private pool, as well as 2 sunbeds and a big daybed. The room was cleaned daily, to a good standard, and all of the cleaning staff seemed friendly. Restaurants The main buffet was ok, with standard all-inclusive fare. The hot food could have been hotter, but there was a good selection for adults and children. The salads and cold food were bountiful. All dishes were regularly topped up. Lots of choices, even though one of us was fairly fussy. The staff in this restaurant were ok, but nothing special, tables were slow to be cleared and we had to ask for drinks on several occasions. Note that there is a very limited choice of drinks available in this restaurant – water, soft drinks, beer or wine. The A la carte restaurants were excellent. The rooftop meze restaurant was our favourite in the evening. The Asian was also very good. You will need to book in advance for both. The Italian was our preferred venue for lunch, despite having a limited menu, it was all cooked fresh and was very tasty. A special mention here to all of the waiters and waitresses. They are fantastic. They were very welcoming and helpful. The reception and buffet restaurant staff could do with some training from the a la carte restaurant staff! Bars There’s one pool bar open in the day and one main bar open in the evenings. Both only ever have one person serving so expect to wait for service unless you time your arrival to perfection. There is no sunbed delivery service (although we did get a shot of vodka slushy one afternoon), but it’s only a short walk to the bar. The drink selection was good and everything was included, including named brands on bottled beers and spirits. Pool There’s one pool area but the pool itself is split into 3 sections, with one being for very young children. The pools aren’t massive and by the time we were coming home, they seemed to be overrun with children and inflatables. There is no adult only pool, so bear this in mind. There are not enough sunbeds and sun umbrellas around the pool and so this leads to the usual early morning bunfight for the best spots. There were notices attached to some umbrellas stating that beds left empty for more than 30 minutes would have their towels etc removed, but we never saw this enforced. Not sure how anyone would be expected to walk to the restaurant and eat lunch within 30 minutes, but there you go. Pool towels, whilst available, never seemed to arrive before 11am but were then regularly replenished throughout the day. If you plan to secure a sunbed first thing in the morning, remember to keep your towel from the day before! Beach The beach had loads of umbrellas and sunbeds but is stony and therefore seemed to be underused. The water was crystal clear and free of inflatables! Location About 1 hour drive from the airport, the hotel is in on the edge of a small resort about 20 minutes south of Lindos village. There isn’t much around the hotel grounds, so bear this in mind if you like to get out to explore the local area. The hotel does offer a complimentary shuttle to Lindos on Monday and Thursday evenings. It was great to get out of the hotel and eat some different food whilst sat in a rooftop restaurant. Conclusion Katerina saved our holiday. If it wasn’t for her support and input, I would not be able to recommend this hotel. It may have something to do with the recent change of owners as it was apparent in several areas that staff were getting used to things. This hotel would simply collapse without her. She was always smiling and willing to help, no matter what the query or issue. Would we go back? No. Would we recommend to others? Yes, if you go expecting the standard all-inclusive hotel. Is this hotel 5-star? Definitely not – it has a way to go

“Enjoyable 5 day stay, only a few minor niggles. Overall pretty good.”

I'll try and give an honest review here, July 2026 - First impression at reception, wow this is a nice hotel.

I'll try and give an honest review here, July 2026 - First impression at reception, wow this is a nice hotel. Air con, fragrance in the air, smart and friendly staff etc. We were also informed we had been given a free room upgrade, though not sure what that was I can only assume from a "Cozy retreat" room to the next size up perhaps, either way gratefully received thanks. Good start. Once we'd settled the reality is the rooms are nice and have working air-con (a little noisy but not enough to be a problem) which realistically we had on for the whole time we were there. On closer inspection the standard of decor (painting etc) is a bit poor and tired/worn in places, particularly in our toilet, but the overall impression is it's still pretty good. Well stocked mini-bar which was topped up daily. Ironing board and security safe were useful. We had mosquito sprays and a plug-in mosquito repellent but still got bitten quite a lot during the night, go well armed with repellants/plug ins if you can. Small but useful balcony with table and two chairs, spoilt only by neighbouring occupants cigarette smoke drifting constantly across, NOT the hotels fault, it happens everywhere sadly. The complex and grounds are nicely laid out and like the rooms look good, just a little tired and worn in parts on closer inspection. Surprised to find a tiny pretty little Chapel/Church amongst the various villas, worth a little visit to see it when you pass by. The usual sunbed issue is like it is everywhere, not enough of them at peak times and people "reserving" them early morning or maybe the (evening before?) meaning you'll probably never get one of those in the best locations unless you're one of those people who do that! Large clean towels were available in good supply pool-side. The two pools were happily at a pleasant temperature, unlike some of the freezing cold ones I've experienced at other hotels meaning these could actually be used and enjoyed by all. Next to the pools are for me the best part of the holiday- The small Italian cafe/restaurant, and the pool bar. A large range of help-yourself cold cans in a fridge plus full bars service of pretty much any drink, slushy, or cocktail you could ask for. I have to make mention of some staff here; POOL BAR - Eleonora was fantastic, always happy, friendly and professional any time of day despite being fairly constantly busy and long working days. A total asset to the hotel. Likewise Alex, friendly and very helpful, nothing too much trouble. These two made it a pleasure to be around the pool. TESORO - Italian trattoria, Stella was the stand out member of staff. All staff were good but they gave the impression they were just doing their job. Stella however went the extra mile and was noticeably the most friendly. The small but nice range of food made a change from the main dining area further away and the pizza and pasta dishes were just right for light pool-side midday dining. Check the opening hours carefully so you don't get caught out and miss being able to get food. The nearby beach is pebble not sand just so you know (not a complaint) and it's a very large and wide open stretch. Between the pools and beach is a "grab-and-go" cabin with Giros, fries, pasta and sandwiches etc, very much fast food convenience style. The giros were actually pretty good, only used this once in 5 days though. Restaurant wise we couldn't get a table at the Meze due to our other bookings and their availability. We did get a table at the Yellow Sea asian restaurant. Food was very nice though I didn't actually get what I'd ordered! No big deal, what I got was still very good! Choose one item from each category- starter, main, dessert. The Island is the main buffet style restaurant for breakfasts and general food during the day. Standard buffet food, pretty wide choices for most tastes you'll always find something you'll like. The fresh crusty bread is particularly good and lots of fruit. The only minor issue is some of it isn't hot but you'll soon get the hang of what to have and what not to. The only issue with the Island is the website and info describes it as 24/7 dining but it's NOT, check opening hours on all restaurants so you don't miss out. On our last day we had breakfast as normal, then went for lunch at the Italian only to find it had closed earlier, and then missed out on the evening meal too as it didn't open til 6pm and we had to be in reception ready for the airport bus so no food from breakfast onwards because we'd not checked properly (our fault really). The Honaki ice cream Gelateria was closed permanently for some reason so unable to use it (not really a major issue, but would have been nice to try it). SUMMARY- So to sum up did we enjoy it? Yes. Would we consider coming again? Yes. It's like many other similar hotels/resorts, classed as 5 star but a bit rough round the edges in parts so it's more like a 4 star trying to be 5. That sound like a criticism but overall unless you're really picky you likely enjoy your stay here. The sunbed issues happen everywhere.
