We picked this hotel from the Thomson couples brochure with the intention of having a late relaxing break, we were not disappointed the hotel is superb and the quality of service is even better. We arrived late and were welcomed with sparkling wine and a late buffet supper in the dramatic atrium which forms the core of the main hotel building. We had a superior room overlooking the pool and the bay, it opened on to the atrium so was very pleasant aspect from all angles. We went half board and did consider buying the all inclusive option whilst we were there but we are not big drinkers so decided not too. This proved the correct choice for us, we would not normally eat three meals a day so the breakfast, some fruit for lunch and evening meal worked for us. Additionally we planned a few days out on trips so all the AI would have given us was a few drinks and three or four lunches for £330. We had drinks from the bar and several bottles of wine with dinner, ice creams etc. and our bill only amounted to £115. The hotel was very flexible and allowed HB customers to swap lunch/dinner so we also did that one evening and had a night out in Rhodes town. The wine was expensive for what it was though so if you wanted a lot of it go AI.

The room was large, clean and well equiped, we did have to pay €25 for the key to the safe which is a bit irritating but seems to be the norm. Our room was directly between the Atrium and Pool bar which both had WiFi so we had that as a bonus. From what we could see most rooms would have a sea view apart from some on the outer wings which might have other rooms in front and below them. We were directly above the a la carte restaurant which onloy caused a problem when the hosted a genuine greek weeding wich started at 11:15pm and ended about 3am, interesting but very noisy. The hotel delivered a basket of fruit after we mentioned it but some prior notice would have been good as our balcony overhung the festiviities just 15 feet below.

The food was good quality and quite varied, plenty of fresh salads and fruit and freshly prepared meats, one minor gripe as someone who cannot eat cheese is they did tend to sprinkle it over everything, the salads, the rice and the potatoes all got covered! It limited the choice rather than spoling anything. The fruit "juice" was weak squash which let the restaurant down, everything else was really good though.

The beach is patchy, some fine shale and sand and the best area is directly outside the hotel, there is fairly steep slope of shale on the water edge which could be tricky getting out but was usually just enough to make us look undignified and give us a laugh. There are the normal boat hire, pedalos and paragliding but they were contained in one area and not intrusive. The hotel provided some lovely wicker pagodas overlooking the bay which you could hire out for the day with optional drinks packages, very relaxing and romantic.

Overall it was good quality hotel with excellent service and great for a relaxing break.

This hotel ticks all the boxes for us. We stayed here the second year after it opened and went back for the following 4 years until we had our daughter and now we cannot stay anymore as it is an adult only hotel. In a nutshell, it is very plush, food is excellent with an enormous fresh variety every day, extremely comfortable rooms, staff are the friendliest we have ever come across and they are very sincere - we have made life long friends with a lot of them. It is located on a shingle beach which is also so beautiful and offers great watersports and swimming in the gorgeous turquoise Agean Sea. The enterainment has always been a bit naff and that is the only tiny criticism we have. It is very expensive and the price goes up quite considerably each year and you always have to book immediately you return otherwise you might be disappointed. It seems everyone you meet there has been every year since it opened too and they all just keep going back. The managers cocktail party is great and I will not elaborate on that as it will spoil all the surprises! Do not hesitate to go here if you can afford it. It is peaceful and luxuious and we were never more rested than we were when coming home from there. I have always been so sad upon leaving.

This was our second stay at Atlantica Imperial, and it was very good this time too. The first time we traveled with Fritidsresor (the Swedish part of Thomson), and that worked well. This time we booked directly and arranged the flight ourselves too, which all in all turned out to be significantly cheaper for a better room even. The superior rooms have a dedicated pool, which we almost had to ourselves which was great. The only other guests using the pool in addition to us was some elderly British couples, who provided good company and entertainment since they were very much like Basil Fawlty and his wife in a good way.

The food is very good, but not five star class - a little uneven quality. Since this was our second time here we knew what to expect and the hotel delivered that very well. As for the service level, this is something that we are very satisfied with. The hotels staff is its greatest asset, no doubt. Even though they work hard and long hours, they are always very attentive and do their job with a smile. That´s a five star level as far as service is concerned.

We stayed at the Atlantica in September 2010 and again in September 2011 - both times with Thomsons. We opted for all inclusive and would recommend as drinks prices are high. The first time we booked AI in advance but the second time paid the upgrade on arrival which is quite acceptable. Food is good and plentiful, although all buffet style. Rooms are clean and comfortable - we were in main building both times. Grounds are superb particularly the pools which are clean and large enough for decent swimming. The adjacent beach is pleasant although pebbly and the sea clean and warm. The is a better beach up the coast (car needed) which is golden sands. There is plenty going on in the town which is easy walking distance. Thomsons changed this hotel from a Gold hotel in 2010 to a Couples hotel in 2011. This basically meant not so much organised entertainment this year - although we got the feeling they were re-assessing this as the hotel lends itself to certainly evening entertainment for those that want it. Once every week is e Manager's cocktail party and entertainment. Can also recommend the 'in hotel' car hire - Rhodos Cars as very good value and service?
