Valentine's Day in Meliá Varadero - Very nice service throughout the hotel, but especially and much gratitude to the discovered waitress Yanetsy for her good service and love in what she does. Grateful and very nice experience.

Fantastic boat trip. Spotless with totally professnal staff - There are multiple operators who offer this trip so we asked our hotel concierge who they recommend and they said these guys. The hotel organized it for us and we were provided with a voucher and pick up instructions. We were staying at the Atrium Platinum and the bus stop is a few meters from the hotel.
The bus into Rhodes was immaculate and there wasn't too many pick ups en route.
Once there, you're greeted by a rep who directs you to your particular boat. We were on board the Triton.
I'm fortunate to have done a few boat trips over the years and I have never been on board one that was cleaner, better staffed or on which the drinks and snacks were so reasonable.
The trip takes 2.5hrs with a swimming stop each way. We were a bit unfortunate that it wasn't exactly scorching hot, however I'm sure on a roasting hot day this would be a welcome stop. Anthony Quinn bay on the way to Lindos is stunning, we felt the stop on the way back was less special..but again that might well have been because it was a bit dull.
Lindos is pretty but be warned, even in October it was extremely busy. We went to the Acropolis via the walking route which winds through the narrow streets full of shops and cafes. I found the sensation a bit like that of leaving a sporting event or big concert...throngs of people almost pushing you along. Difficult to stop without feeling like a total pain to others!
The Acropolis itself is worth a visit and the views are beautiful, however if you've watched YouTube or Tictoc be aware that the perfect photo is difficult...there are people everywhere. There are a few signs to explain what you are looking at but if you really want to appreciate the Acropolis, I'd suggest a guided tour is the way to do it. There are no ear buds or models of how things would have looked so it's quite difficult to take in whilst negotiating the crowds and trying not to be a pain to others.
The walking is tricky underfoot. I would suggest giving this a miss if you have mobility issues. Likewise, the walk up is fairly steep and there are no safety rails for the walk back down, so if you are not good with heights...like my husband...be warned.
We came back via the donkey route which, whilst a bit slippy so you need to take care, has no drop offs and is a much better option if you don't like heights.
If we were to go back we would instead visit St Paul's bay instead..it looks absolutely beautiful ❤️ We ran out of time.
The beach at Lindos is gorgeous, especially if you've been staying near Ixia with all its shingle. There are lovely places to eat, drink and watch the world go by
All in all I would highly recommend this trip..the boat is great, the crew are great. If you really want to enjoy the town and the Acropolis, it might be best to hire a car and get there before all the boat trips descend.
We had a great day.

Excellent Lindos boat trip - Trip was very well organized. We actually missed our pick up at the hotel (my fault) and although we had to get a taxi they did send a SMS and rang me twice to make sure we didn't miss the trip, without that we would have missed it and lost our money, so I'm very grateful. I will definitely book another trip when we come back. Boat clean, stops amazing.well done to the crew.

Excellent service and well organised day trip! - The coach picked up from the hotel on time with the added bonus of the tour guide ensuring everyone was collected!! This was great as many coaches didn't wait to make sure all passengers were present!! A prompt transfer from Blue Bay to Rhodes, a few stops along the main road and arrived within half an hour. Your guide explained the drop off and pick up locations and times, all staff and drivers super helpful and good English language. Excellent trip and would highly recommend!! Even ended up with our own fancy minibus for just our hotel!! Perfect day!!

A memorable and enjoyable trip for all ages - Fabulous swimming stops and Lindos is beautiful with several cafes and tavernas. Walking uphill in the heat to the acropolis ( we arrived at noon) was too much for me but others managed it.
I was disappointed that our return transfer was considerably delayed as we waited for another tour group to join our bus. It made a long day too long.

so long on a boat at sea without seeing anything really beautiful. - Boat departs from Rhodes at 8:45. There are plenty of seats but not very comfortable. You can wear layers of clothing because it is very warm at times but sometimes also very windy (cold). The boat trip to Lindos takes 3 hours and there is little to see on the coastline so quite boring. Swimming in the open sea is only fun when the water is warmer. In May it was +/- 16gr. Lindos itself is very touristy and you should be able to handle a brisk hike uphill. Best on a chilly day because the trail runs mostly in full sun. You can eat in the town at a reasonable price. eg at Hermes on the roof terrace. Especially the return of +/- 3h is very long and annoying.
