Atlantica Plimmiri

Hotel Description

You know, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to the Atlantica Plimmiri – honestly, the name sounds like something out of a Disney movie. But this place absolutely floored me, and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s tucked away in this quiet corner of Rhodes that most tourists completely miss, right where the coastline gets really dramatic and the crowds thin out. The drive down from Lindos takes about twenty minutes (yeah, you’ll definitely want a car), but once you’re there, you realize why they built a 5-star resort in what feels like the middle of nowhere.

The thing that struck me immediately was how they’ve managed to make luxury feel completely unpretentious here. The lobby’s got this gorgeous marble that stays cool even in the afternoon heat, and there’s always this subtle scent of jasmine drifting in from the gardens – not pumped through some artificial system, just actual flowers doing their thing. Check-in was refreshingly smooth (they actually remembered I’d mentioned it was my anniversary in some random email), and the staff has this way of being helpful without hovering. What really impressed me, though, was how they handle the whole resort experience without making it feel like you’re trapped in some all-inclusive bubble. You can walk out the front gate and actually explore Plimmiri village – which is tiny but has this one taverna where the locals eat, and trust me, that’s worth the five-minute stroll.

The rooms are honestly spectacular, but it’s the details that get you. The balcony faces southeast, so you get these incredible sunrises over the Aegean without the harsh afternoon glare that’ll cook you alive. The shower pressure is fantastic (I know, weird thing to mention, but you know how disappointing hotel showers can be), and they’ve got blackout curtains that actually work – crucial if you’re jet-lagged. The beach access is where this place really shines though. Instead of some crowded strip of sand, you’re looking at this pristine stretch where the water stays shallow for ages, perfect if you’ve got kids or just want to float around with a book. September and early October are absolutely perfect here – still warm enough for swimming, but the summer madness has died down. I’ll be honest, the pool area can get a bit busy during peak season, but there’s so much space that it never feels overwhelming. One small thing – parking is plentiful and free, which might sound boring but you’ll appreciate it when you’re hauling luggage in the Greek heat. With a 9.1 rating, this place has clearly figured out how to do luxury hospitality right, and after spending five days here, I can see why people come back year after year.

Reviews

• Zlata from Czech Republic – 15 June 2025 (10/10)

  We had an amazing stay in this hotel
  And it’s definitely worth to come back
  1. Save guard- each pool and the beach have a lot of people who are supervising your safety. When my small kid went to the kid pool on his own – they were watching at him
  2. Activities – hotel has a lot of sport activities for free plus you can get courses
  3. Baby club – separated by different ages with their own pool for babies
  4. Entertainment programs till 2 am . Adults have separate zone even at the main canteen
  
  What could be improved: 1. It’s quite windy better to take more clothes with long sleeves and pants especially for the evening
  2. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere and make sure you have medicine for each occasion
  3. The staff at the restaurant they have 3 is not good. I enjoyed only the service in Italian restaurant trattoria and in other restaurants only Philippines saved that places if they had them .
  So at this 3 additional restaurants food was good service should be improved

• Alejandra from Germany – 20 September 2024 (8/10)

  The hotel is in a zone where there is nothing nearby. Therefore, the beach is just for guests of the hotel. The food from Buffet was good, there were many options. The room was very big and it had enough space for everything.
  
  What could be improved: The hotel is more appropriate for families. We struggle to have a quiet time. There was
  Music in the adults bar, but it stopped at 8 pm so that Kids Disco could start. The cocktails were not very tasty. You could always pay more to get "premium" cocktails, but we did not try them. And what was very annoying was that people always reserve the sunbeds at the beach even though they didn't come for hours. The hotel could use more plants or something for the long paths to make some shadows. We were there in September, and it felt very hot going from one building to the beach.

• Alexander from Switzerland – 5 August 2024 (9/10)

  Our kids enjoyed the slides. The hotel territory was huge and very nice. The beach was nice and not crowded. There were water sports activities available. The food was good.
  
  What could be improved: A la carte restaurants are to be booked really in advance (i.e. the first thing you have to do when you check in).

• Villeveikko from Finland – 26 October 2023 (10/10)

  All needed facilities in one place. Great for sports, relaxing and for kids.
  
  What could be improved: Running and MTB routes not marked.
