Escape to Paradise: Adults-Only Luxury in Rhodes' Lindos Del Mar Suites
Lindos Del Mar Suites: My Honest Dive into Paradise (and a Few Minor Hiccups!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to tell you everything about the Lindos Del Mar Suites in Rhodes. Forget those sterile, robotic reviews – this is going to be messy, honest, and hopefully, a little bit funny. This is about escaping to paradise, not just reading about it.
First of all, the big sell: Adults-Only! This right here is a game changer. No screaming kids, no splashing, just…peace. Glorious, uninterrupted peace. (Though, be warned, silence around the pool can sometimes be a little too peaceful. You'll see.)
My First Impression: Holy Smokes, This Place is Sexy.
Seriously. From the moment you step into the airy lobby, you're hit with a wave of chic, minimalist design. It’s all crisp lines, whitewashed walls, and the scent of…well, I don't know what it is, but it smells expensive. The staff are impeccably dressed, the vibe is effortlessly cool, and frankly, I felt a little underdressed in my travel sweats. (Note to self: Pack better next time.)
Let's Talk Accessibility (Because It Matters!)
This is important, and I'm happy to report Lindos Del Mar Suites takes it seriously. There’s an elevator, which is a huge plus. Wheelchair accessibility is also present although I have no firsthand experience; however, the details on the website suggest that it is generally wheel chair accessible. The rooms have the room to move around, and the staff is willing to help you with anything.
Room Review: My Little Cliffside Sanctuary
I booked a suite, and honestly, it was worth every penny. The view from my balcony? Breathtaking. Picture this: shimmering turquoise water, the ancient Lindos Acropolis perched dramatically on a cliff, and me, sipping on a perfectly chilled glass of rosé (courtesy of the complimentary bottle of water that magically appeared in my refrigerator every day!).
The air conditioning was a lifesaver, the blackout curtains ensured a peaceful sleep (essential after a few too many cocktails at the poolside bar), and the bed…oh, the bed. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Seriously, I think my back pain disappeared within hours. The bathroom was equally luxurious, with a separate shower/bathtub and fluffy bathrobes. I even took advantage of the slippers. Minor imperfections? The hair dryer was a bit weak, and the mirror in the bathroom could have used better lighting for those all-important pre-dinner primps.
Food and Drink (My Personal Obsession)
Okay, let's get real. I love food. And Lindos Del Mar Suites did not disappoint.
- Breakfast (Buffet & Room Service): The breakfast buffet was a feast – a dazzling array of fresh fruit, pastries, omelets cooked to order, and (my personal weakness) a mountain of delicious baked goods. You can enjoy breakfast in your room!. One morning, I ordered breakfast in room, and the sheer decadence of eating eggs benedict while overlooking the Aegean Sea almost caused me to weep with joy.
- Restaurants: The main restaurant, serving International cuisine, offered a menu that was both diverse and delicious. I tried the a la carte options and even had a delightful vegetarian restaurant. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was also top-notch. The coffee/tea in restaurant was a welcome perk.
- Poolside Bar: This is where I spent a significant amount of my time. Perfect for a midday salad or a pre-dinner happy hour cocktail. The staff were incredibly attentive (I swear they anticipated my next drink order!) They also served a wonderful dessert
- Snack Bar: Just in case the full meals weren't enough, they will have a snack bar.
Things to Do (Or Not Do – It's up to You!)
The beauty of this place is the freedom to do absolutely nothing. That said, Lindos Del Mar Suites offers plenty of ways to relax and indulge:
- Pool with a View: The swimming pool is stunning, and the views from the pool with a view are even more so. The swimming pool [outdoor] area is well maintained. They have the poolside bar is the perfect place for a drink.
- Spa Day: I treated myself to a massage, and it was pure bliss. The spa is beautiful, the sauna is relaxing, and the steamroom is the perfect way to unwind. Spa/sauna time is the best. There are also offerings like Body scrub and Body wrap.
- Gym/Fitness: If you’re feeling ambitious (I wasn't, most days), the fitness center is well-equipped. Gym/fitness area is decent enough.
- Things to Do There is a Shine.
Cleanliness and Safety – They've Got It Covered.
In these post-pandemic times, safety is paramount. Lindos Del Mar Suites scores big here:
- Anti-viral cleaning products and professional-grade sanitizing services.
- Daily disinfection in common areas.
- Rooms sanitized between stays.
- The whole shebang– safe dining setup with sanitized kitchen and tableware items.
- The staff is staff trained in safety protocol and hand sanitizer is readily available.
- You can even opt-out of room sanitization opt-out available.
- They even offer Hygiene certification.
Services and Conveniences (The Little Things That Make a Difference)
- Air conditioning in public area
- Airport transfer, taxi service, and valet parking are available for easy arrival and departure.
The Small Quirks and Imperfections (Because Nobody's Perfect!)
- The internet access – wireless was a little spotty in a few areas. I'm talking about that slight frustration of not being able to immediately download my latest Instagram post. (First world problems, I know!)
- I didn’t feel the need to use the Babysitting service or the kids facilities.
- The lobby could, perhaps, have a few extra plugs for charging phones.
The Verdict: Run, Don't Walk, to Lindos Del Mar Suites
Despite a few minor hiccups, my stay at Lindos Del Mar Suites was incredible. It's the perfect escape for couples seeking luxurious relaxation, stunning scenery, and a truly rejuvenating experience.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Villa Awaits in Monterrico, Guatemala
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average, perfectly Photoshopped travel itinerary. This is the REAL DEAL. This is Lindos Del Mar Suites, Rhodes, Greece, and my brain's gonna explode with sun, sea, and possibly a little too much ouzo. Let's do this…messily.
Day 1: Arrival, Overwhelming Gorgeousness, and a Near Disaster with a Beach Towel
10:00 AM: Land in Rhodes. Okay, first impression? HOLY MOLY. The airport is surprisingly spacious, but then I realize the REAL space is reserved for the Aegean Sea, which is a shimmering blue rectangle from the plane window. Immigration? Smooth sailing. Except for the guy who kept staring at my slightly-too-worn passport photo. I think he was judging my 5 o'clock shadow. (It was, like, 10 AM. Rude).
11:00 AM: Taxi to Lindos Del Mar. The driver, bless his soul, blasted some Greek pop music that sounded suspiciously like a disco remix of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." I was immediately in love.
12:00 PM: Check-in. The reception area? Straight out of a magazine. Gleaming white, minimalist perfection. I swear, the air smelled subtly of citrus and success. Received my room key, and the receptionist gave me the most charming smile which I didn't understand anything of what I was told.
12:30 PM: Room reveal. OMG. The view! I nearly tripped over my own feet running to the balcony. The infinity pool just melds seamlessly into the sea. I did a little happy dance (I'm not ashamed).
1:00 PM: Poolside lounging. Sunscreen application = a crucial life skill. This is where the beach towel incident happened. Picture this: I laid down, feeling all glamorous, reached for my designer sunglasses and bam! A rogue gust of wind, a beach towel that decided to turn into a parachute, and nearly a plunge into the pool. I'm blaming the Zephyros - the wind, it was strong! I gathered myself after, thinking oh, only a few people witnessed that.
2:00 PM: Lunch at the hotel restaurant. Ordered the Greek salad. Classic. But the feta? Oh, the feta. It was the kind of feta that makes you question every feta-related decision you've made in your life. This felt close to perfection, though I didn't recognize the greek words used when I made a request.
3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The pool, the sun, the glorious nothingness of pure relaxation. Okay, maybe I also had a small nap. Don't judge me.
7:00 PM: Sunset cocktails. We're talking seriously fancy cocktails with tiny umbrellas. Watched the sun melt into the sea. Honestly, I teared up a little. It was that beautiful. I felt like a movie star, except with slightly burnt shoulders.
8:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. More amazing food. More ouzo. I started feeling a little…chatty. Made friends with a couple from Manchester who knew more about Greek history than I do. Apparently, Lindos is ancient! Who knew? Me? Not really.
10:00 PM: Stumbled back to my room. Probably should’ve paced myself with the ouzo. Bedtime.
Day 2: Lindos Town, Donkeys, and a Serious Case of Gelato Overload
9:00 AM: Attempted a leisurely breakfast. Failed. I was too excited about exploring Lindos town.
10:00 AM: Walk down to Lindos Town. The walk itself is a steep one. Warning: Wear comfortable shoes! I saw people struggling in stilettos. I felt slightly superior.
10:30 AM: Arrived in Lindos! White-washed buildings, labyrinthine streets, and the most charming little shops ever. And the donkeys! Yes, the donkeys. You can ride them up to the Acropolis. I, however, chose to walk. (I figured I'd earned a gelato later).
11:00 AM: Explored the Acropolis. Okay, it's ruins. But majestic ruins. The view from up there? Mind-blowing. The Aegean again, the whole town stretched below. History is cool, I guess. My brain started to get overloaded by the sun (and the fact that I should have worn a hat).
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Wandered the winding streets. Found a tiny little shop selling handmade jewelry. Bought myself a ridiculously overpriced bracelet. No regrets.
1:00 PM: Gelato time! Oh. My. God. I had at least three scoops. Maybe four. It was a gelato-fueled extravaganza. I even got a bit of chocolate sauce on my face. (Don't judge me!)
2:00 PM: The beach. Lindos has this perfect beach with crystal clear water. Lounged in the sand. Dipped my toes in the sea. Dreamy.
3:00 PM: Back to the hotel? Nah, explored small restaurants at the town.
7:00 PM: Dinner at a taverna in Lindos. More Greek food. More wine. Laughed with the same couple from the day before, we are now practically best friends!
9:00 PM: Walked back to the hotel. Exhausted, happy, and slightly sunburnt.
Day 3: Boat trip, the Aegean Sea, and the True Meaning of Relaxation (and a sunburn)
10:00 AM: Boat trip! I had a private boat trip, even if it was just for me! It was glorious! Jumping into the sea, and feeling weightless. The Greek sun making my hair shine, and I was feeling the absolute joy of the world.
3:00 PM: Lunch at a taverna in the coast - Grilled octopus and more Greek salad!
4:00 PM: The sunburn. I forgot to reapply sunscreen. I am paying the price now.
5:00 PM: Back to the hotel
6:00 PM: Sunburnt in my room, trying to recover.
7:00 PM: Dinner in the hotel restaurant.
8:00 PM: Sleep
Day 4: More of this, no complaints
- A whole day of doing nothing, more of the same.
- Breakfast, a dip in the pool, more time on my face on the sun.
- Lunch, more relaxing (and getting more burnt)
- Sunset drinks, then dinner.
Day 5: Departure, The Sadness, and a Vow to Return
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. A wave of sadness washed over me. I didn't want to leave.
- 9:00 AM: Last breakfast. Squeezed in a few final memories.
- 10:00 AM: Checked out. Said goodbye to the lovely people who made this trip so special.
- 11:00 AM: Taxi to the airport.
- 12:00 PM: Goodbye to the Sun, the Sea, all of Greece.
- 1:00 PM: Arrive back home, already planning my return.
Okay, so that's it. It wasn't perfect. It was messy. It was emotional. And it was absolutely, without a doubt, the best trip ever. Lindos Del Mar, I'll be back. Prepare yourselves.
Escape to Ytterjarna: Sweden's Hidden Gem Hotel & Conference Center!
Okay, real talk: Is Lindos Del Mar Suites *really* as dreamy as it looks? (And are the Instagrammers lying?)
Alright, let's be honest. Instagram’s a highlight reel. Lindos Del Mar? Well, it *is* pretty damn dreamy. But… it's not perfectly photoshopped. Think of it like this: imagine a movie, but instead of airbrushing out the minor imperfections, they embrace them. The sunsets? Stunning. I swear, the sky *bleeds* orange and purple every evening. The infinity pool? Seriously tempting. I spent a solid two hours just *staring* at it, the waves crashing below. But…and this is a BIG but…. remember the gorgeous couple frolicking in the sea? Well, the first time I tried that, I face-planted into a rogue wave. Looked less "chic couple" and more "drowning walrus." So, yeah, dreamy… but bring your sense of humor and waterproof mascara. Which, by the way, is crucial. Trust me.
Is it *truly* adults-only? Because my idea of relaxation doesn't include rogue Nerf darts.
YES! Praise the gods of peace and quiet! It’s *blissfully* adult-only. No screaming kids, no frantic parents, no… *shudder*… water balloon fights. The silence, punctuated by the gentle lapping of waves and the clinking of cocktail glasses? Pure gold. I swear, my stress levels dropped about 80% the second that gate closed behind me and I was no longer subjected to the world's relentless cacophony of tiny humans. It’s like a giant, luxurious spa day, but it lasts for your entire stay. Unless, of course, *you* bring the Nerf darts. (Don't. Just… don't.)
The suites look amazing. But are they actually…comfortable? (And do they have decent coffee?)
Okay, the suites. Prepare to be wowed. Think sleek, minimalist luxury, with that gorgeous blue sea practically spilling into your room. The bed? Cloud-like. I practically melted into it every night. And the *view* from the balcony? Seriously, *wow.* I swear, I spent one afternoon just staring out at the Aegean, wrestling with my inner existential dread whilst sipping a delicious iced coffee. And speaking of coffee... YES. Decent coffee is crucial! They actually have a proper espresso machine and the room-service coffee is surprisingly good. They do, however, have a slightly weird obsession with instant coffee in the room itself (I found a sachet in my bedside drawer) which made me legitimately panic. But other than that, top marks. Plus, they *actually* use good-quality toiletries. Which is a small detail, but one that makes a HUGE difference when you're trying to feel pampered. Now, if only they could invent a self-cleaning balcony...
The food. Please tell me about the food. I’m a hungry human.
Oh, the food. This is where things get *really* interesting. The breakfast buffet? A masterpiece. Everything from fresh pastries and fruit to local cheeses and meats. I probably ate my weight in feta every morning. Seriously, I think I actually *became* feta by the end of the trip. The restaurant… well, the food is *good*. Not Michelin-star good, but definitely delicious. And the setting? Gorgeous, overlooking the sea. But here's the thing. One night, I ordered the grilled octopus, which is a classic, right? Well, it was *tender*, which is good! However I was also starving and when it arrived, it had this weird parsley sprinkled on top that was EVERYWHERE and I immediately regretted my choice. My fault, completely. But as the sun went down I had to stop myself from ordering chicken nuggets from room service. So I just went to bed, feeling slightly underwhelmed. Overall, though, you won't starve and there's plenty to enjoy. Just maybe skip the parsley.
What's the vibe? Is it stuffy and pretentious, or actually relaxing?
Definitely not stuffy! Thank goodness. It's more… relaxed luxury. People were there to, you know, *relax*. There were couples, groups of friends, solo travelers all just chilling and enjoying themselves. I saw some very glamorous outfits, but also people in comfy clothes. The staff were friendly and helpful, but not overly formal. The hotel makes you feel welcome. It's the kind of place where you can lounge around in your swimsuit all day, sipping cocktails, and no one judges you. Unless you order the parsley-encrusted octopus. Then, maybe. Just kidding! (Mostly.)
Is there anything to do *besides* lounging by the pool and eating? (Because, let's face it, I get bored.)
Yes! Thank goodness. Lindos itself is ridiculously charming. Seriously, you can wander around the narrow, cobbled streets for hours, getting lost (and, in my case, slightly sunburnt) in the process. Visit the Acropolis of Lindos – the views are incredible (and the climb is a workout). There are boat trips, watersports, and plenty of little shops and restaurants in the village. Plus the hotel has a spa. The spa! I had a massage that was so good, I nearly fell asleep and snored. Which, honestly, might have happened. I also took a sunrise yoga class on the beach. It was… an experience. I fell over. Multiple times. But the view? Worth the potential embarrassment. Still, remember, sometimes doing *nothing* is also acceptable.
How's the service? (Because a grumpy waiter can ruin a whole vacation.)
The service? Generally fantastic. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. They're not intrusive, but they are there when you need them. There was one incident, though. One morning at breakfast, I ordered a cappuccino, and it took… a while. I started to get grumpy. Then, the poor waiter appeared apologizing profusely. Turns out the espresso machine was being… temperamental. He offered me a free pastry (which, let's be honest, I was *grateful* for). And you know what? It was a small thing. And I’m still convinced he was secretly the one who ruined the octopus. But hey, it happens! Overall, though, the service is excellent.
Any deal-breakers? (Be brutally honest!)
Okay, brutally honest time. It’s expensive. There’s no getting around that. And the location, while stunning, is a little bit remote. You're not going to be popping into town for a quick errand. Also. the wind. Lindos can get *Best Stay Blogspot
