Stayed in here October 2025. Unusually bad weather Rhodes this time of year. However can't fault the hotel. It was clean, comfortable and the staff went out of there way to look after us. Attention to detail, the staff knew what we wanted to drink as soon as we went to the bar. Staff was so friendly and welcoming everyday. Manager vasisils was fantastic! Always onsite. So friendly and always made sure guest where very looked after. Food was great with lots of choice and different varieties every night.
Location was fantastic as in the middle of everything and a short distance from the beach. Looking to book again.

Positive sides:

1. Very kind and empathetic ladies at the reception, especially the one working during the day — always attentive and helpful.

2. Bartenders work efficiently and serve quickly.

3. Delicious gyros, pizza, and grilled meat: definitely one of the highlights.

Negative sides:

1. In the evenings, the music is often too loud and heavy (like Metallica or heavy metal). It’s hard to understand why the management thinks this kind of music is suitable for hotel guests. It would be much nicer to have relaxing background music instead. My comment about the loudness and music style was ignored.

2. Animation is extremely loud. It was fun for the first few days, but later it became annoying. I came to rest, not to wake up to loud sounds every morning. It caused unnecessary stress and completely ruined my sleep schedule: now I can’t fall asleep before 1 a.m.

3. Food quality varies. Some dishes are tasty, but others not so much. The salad selection is small and gets repetitive after a week. One day the wine was nice, the next day terrible, even though I asked for the same red one. It feels like the hotel tries to save money wherever possible.

4. Sunbeds by the pool are old, and some have nails sticking out — nobody fixed this in nine days, which is unsafe.

5. No slippers, bathrobes, or toiletries, which should be standard for a 4★ hotel. In reality, this place feels more like a 3★, and that’s being generous.

6. Cleaning is inconsistent, and towels were not always fresh. But all of this is minor compared to the loud heavy-metal evenings. Please, don’t stress your guests like that!

7. Bathroom door doesn’t lock, and the main room door can only be closed with a lot of effort, it's really uncomfortable.

8. Saw cockroaches twice in the restaurant, and there were small flies in the food.

Overall, the impression is rather disappointing. With a few improvements and more attention to guest comfort, this hotel could be much better — but right now, it definitely doesn’t feel like a 4★ experience.

Had a really lovely stay! The staff were amazing- super friendly and helpful, especially Dennis and Astar at the bar.

The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfy. Definitely recommend getting a room by the smaller private pool.

Evening entertainment was fun, and while the buffet food got a bit samey, the woodfired pizza and gyros were a great touch. Not loads to do in Kolympia itself, but the public transport makes it easy to get around. Overall, a great stay🙌🏻

Pool area, room, etc. one of the nicest stays we’ve had. Kristi & her bar mate made our stay feel like a true retreat away from the noise, tourism, and hectic schedule of the rest of Rhodes.

Everything about our stay at Casa Cook was phenomenal -- from the minute you arrive and are greeted by the friendly staff to the minute you leave when you are given warm goodbyes. The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and clean. The main pool was stunning with the mountains in the background. We loved the decor of our room and it felt so cozy. We actually had a slight issue with our room when we arrived regarding the bathroom. We spoke to hotel manager (sadly I forget his name) and he graciously upgraded us to a villa for the remainder of our stay and he comped dinner for us at one of the restaurants on their property. We were floored by this gesture and it truly made our entire experience at Casa Cook so special. Shoutout to Kosta (sp) in the restaurant as he was so kind and helpful. The same goes for Tsampika (sp) who personally introduces herself to all of the new guests at breakfast. She is from the area and provided the best tips and suggestions. I honestly was so sad to leave and I cannot wait to come back next year when the season opens. Highly recommend staying at Casa Cook.

The hotel is comfortable and the onsite food good, I did find have a slight issue with two outdoor bar staff but after raising a complaint the manager was brilliant and mediated the situation in a satisfactory manner and just really seemed to care that we are able to enjoy our stay.

Other than that the hotel made for a great comfortable base from which to explore and unwind :)

We spent 1 week at Hotel Marathon. I’m writing this review with the budget for this type of holiday in mind.

Hotel – Good quality overall, with 2 pools (I recommend the second one hidden behind the outdoor bar, much quieter). The hotel isn’t really suitable for kids – there is a small playground but no slides or water attractions, which actually suited us. There weren’t many children here. Sunbeds were always available. Rooms are standard, with a safe, balcony, TV, and air conditioning – everything worked fine. There’s also a gym, table tennis, and billiards.

Food – Excellent, above standard. Always a wide selection: sweet and savory breakfasts, eggs in many styles, waffles, fruit, etc. Lunch and dinner were also very varied – meat, vegetables, side dishes, sushi, salmon, lasagna, seafood… it changed every day (except breakfast). Great desserts as well. Truly above standard for this category. Plus, by the pool every day they offered pizza and gyros.

Drinks – Surprisingly good beer, and about 8 cocktails to choose from. No single-use plastic cups. Ice cream was nothing special.

Entertainment – Rich program, something every evening, though it means sleeping before 11 pm isn’t really possible – which didn’t bother us.

Staff – Excellent, always very helpful and smiling. Our toilet was leaking, and they immediately gave us a new room, no problem. On departure day, we asked if we could take a shower (we no longer had a room), and they gave us towels… Reception really gives the impression that nothing is impossible.

Surroundings – Weaker. There are some bars (I recommend Oasis), but just a few streets; after that, not much. I recommend renting a scooter from Max Moto, just one street away from the hotel. For coffee, I recommend To Nisaki café by the sea.

Sea – A bit farther, about 10 minutes’ walk. The beach is average, not great but not terrible either. Sunbeds are paid.

Negatives – The hotel Wi-Fi is basically just for show, practically unusable. Coffee is very weak and cheap everywhere in the hotel since they use the same machines.

Overall – Very good and above standard, we can truly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Cook. The loft room was perfect with a wonderful swim up pool just outside, we had the most relaxing time. It was my birthday and they gave me a complimentary cake and bottle of Prosecco which was really thoughtful. The staff were friendly and approachable and professional, I would definitely go again

Amazing Stay at the Casa Cook
Stay at the Casa Cook was more than amazing experience.
The atmosphere, the vibe, the quiet, the place itself were like a dream for a five days.
The team, aseptically Tsampika were so nice and carefully , they took care of everything we needed.
