Filoxenia Hotel Apartments

The Filoxenia Hotel is a truly magical place! We stayed for 10 nights in mid-August and honestly couldn't fault a single thing. The rooms are well equipped and kept clean by the excellent cleaning teams, The pools were well kept and tidy, and the team are extremely friendly and accommodating.The hotel offers a peaceful stay nestled among the old farmland where you are surrounded by local fruit and olive trees, and other traditional greek plants which show it's authenticity. It's impressive that the harvest from these plants goes straight to the kitchen to be used in the restaurant or made into jams and preserves for sale on-site.We ate at the restaurant most mornings and evenings as the food was some of the best we had in all of Rhodes and was very reasonably priced. Cannot recommend the Sunday BBQ night and Lamb Kleftiko enough! Also very much worth reserving a table for the traditional Greek music and dancing night on Friday evenings.My only warning is not a fault of the hotel but I strongly recommend hiring a car to explore the island. Buses are infrequent, unreliable and massively overcrowded.In summary, this is a hotel with a huge heart where the staff are clearly a close-knit community who want guests to enjoy their stay as much as possible. It offers a more traditional taste of Rhodes which is exactly what we came for. Other resorts in the area seem cold and sterilised in comparison. We plan on returning to this beautiful place again and again!
