Amaryllis front beach hotel

Amaryllis front beach hotel Overview

First Impressions

The Amaryllis front beach hotel sits right where you’d want it to be — literally steps from the sand in Lothiarika, just outside Lardos. I’ll be honest, when I first pulled up, I wasn’t expecting much from this three-star property, but sometimes the best surprises come in understated packages. The hotel has that relaxed Greek island vibe without trying too hard, and you can actually hear the waves from the entrance, which immediately tells you everything you need to know about the location.

The Beachfront Advantage

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re not just near the beach, you’re practically on it. Lothiarika beach is one of those quieter stretches along Rhodes’ southeastern coast that locals know about but hasn’t been completely overrun yet. The hotel’s position means you can literally roll out of bed, grab your coffee, and be on the sand in under a minute. I mean, couples seem to get this immediately (they rate the location almost a 9 out of 10), and honestly, I can see why. There’s something pretty special about falling asleep to actual ocean sounds rather than just hoping for them.

Rooms and Comfort

The room I stayed in was clean and functional — nothing fancy, but everything worked as it should. What struck me was how the sea-facing rooms really make the most of that beachfront position. You know what’s nice? Waking up to actual water views instead of staring at a parking lot or construction site. The air conditioning works well (crucial in Greek summers), and the beds are comfortable enough that I actually slept through the night, which doesn’t always happen when I travel.

Food and Practical Matters

The breakfast situation is better than I expected for a three-star place. They do both continental and buffet options, and while it’s not going to win any awards, there’s enough variety to keep you happy for a few days. Fresh bread, local honey, decent coffee — the basics done right. The fact that they offer free private parking is actually a bigger deal than it might sound, especially if you’re planning to explore Rhodes by car. Trust me, finding parking near beaches in Greece can be a real headache, so having a guaranteed spot is worth quite a bit.

Why Guests Love It

What really works here is the combination of location and value. You’re getting beachfront access without paying beachfront resort prices, and that’s honestly pretty rare these days. The staff seems to understand that people come here for the beach and the relaxation, not for elaborate amenities or fancy lobbies. Recent guests consistently rate the location highly, and after spending a few days here, I totally get it. Sometimes you just want to be able to walk to the water whenever you feel like it, and the Amaryllis delivers on that simple but important promise.

Exploring Rhodes layers crusader lanes, pine forests, and sunrise swims by ancient agoras.
