SunConnect Kolymbia Star

Came here for a week with my family and before I begin the only thing that saves this place are the staff in the restaurant. FULL of Germans so all entertainment was aimed at anybody other than English speaking.

We are enjoying our very last day at Sunconnect Kolumbia Star hotel. We had sunny and warm October break(26C +-). Due to the Thomas Cook going bust, the hotel was very empty but the entertainers did a good job trying to get people envolved in the night shows or day activities. We had some great nights and lovely days exploring the island and snorkeling in its clear waters. The food was really good and the staff always make you feel welcome. I would definitely recommend this hotel. There is not much around but, if you want to relax or don't mind getting the local bus or renting a car, it is a lovely place to stay. Places not to miss: Lindos with the Acropolis and St Paul's Bay, old Rhodes town, biggest waterpark in Europe if you like water rides and sambika beach (10min drive from Kolymbia) unspoiled sandy beach.

Guys, this really is a great hotel ! It’s so good that I have to write a review even though we’re only half way through our stay. We already know that we want to come back. We’re a couple with a 10 year old daughter and this hotel is a real find. We both appreciate some down time when away without the usual loud strip of pubs outside or poor hotel karaoke. It usually takes me a few days to get out of ‘work mode’ but I relaxed the moment we arrived. As the title says we also planned a wedding at the nearby Filerimos cross while we were here. There is some entertainment but it ends at 11pm sharp and the whole area is so chilled and peaceful afterwards. There are 3 pools (main, children’s and quiet) all of which have plenty of space and new sun loungers. I’ve attached a photo of the quiet pool in the middle of the day and as you can see, quiet is an refreshing understatement. Guys, the hotel is immaculately clean with an army of cleaners that start their day by sweeping the paths and road together. Rooms are cleaned daily and the ninja cleaners are in and out in a flash. The family rooms (again, panorama photo attached) can be divided in half with a huge sliding door with each area having its own air con control unit. The staff, without exception, are all super friendly and accommodating. The manager here even gifted wine and a basket of fruit to our room. Also, as we arrived late (after 11pm) from the airport there was some food waiting for us in our room. I do appreciate that I’m writing this just after the effect of the Thomas Cook issue has taken effect on the kids-club, but nonetheless, the whole vibe of this hotel is to relax you. Some rooms face more towards the sea while others like ours face the mountains (again, photo attached) The food is great. There’s usually about 14 hot choices and an abundance of fresh Greek style salads to chose from at every sitting. The staff can also be seen cooking another 4 or so just as you walk into the dinning room. The desserts are a mix of traditional Greek sweet dishes and a chocolate fest. If you’re looking for a place that’s a little quieter than the norm, has a 5 minute flat walk to the beach and is safe and friendly then visit this hotel. We’ve loved every minute here.

To start with a massive thank you to the Management and all Hotel Staff. Stayed mid September on a Thomas Cook Package holiday when they went bust. We was all inclusive and the Hotel let everyone stay on in their rooms, with no disruption to the holiday, so for that, we both say a massive thank you when the hotel had a financial black cloud over it. Hope you come out the over side of this ok. The rooms were comfortable and linen and towels changed every day 10/10. The choice of food was very good as we are both quite picky on what we eat, and we had enough breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The location was good for us as we liked to walk and it is a leisurely 20 minute stroll to the centre of the resort. To finish off the entertainment worked hard and a special special mention to Felicia (Dutch Girl) who went that extra mile to ensure that you had an exceptional holiday and she made sure she was there to say goodbye when we left.

We are here at moment for 45th wedding anniversary. Staff and animation team lovely. So friendly. Although hotel very quiet, the animation team still are there for all the activities from 10 in morning till 11 at night. We have a family room, which is 2 very large rooms, immaculately clean. A few bars round about but you can walk into kolymbia at night, lots going on, good bars, restaurants, shops. 25 min walk. Thank you to hotel for sending a lovely tray of fruit and bottle of wine for our anniversary Would recommend for food, cleanliness, and especially animation team. Felicia for aquarobics, Veronica, Manuel, nuamax

Manuel is amazing and funny - made my stay very nice. The hotel is very nice, good and clean. The food was very nice. But Manuel was simply the best! The activities the hotel provided were fun and enjoyable.

Such lovely food and friendly staff who provided such entertainment! The cake especially was so yummy :) the room was very clean and the pool was also very clean! The new entertainer was very welcoming and friendly! Great Holiday experience :) :) :)

Arrival: smooth and instant service. Room: clean and pretty well located in the garden, in the shadow. Meals: about haute cuisine class. I mean that almost all main courses were cooked with love and, I would like to say, grace. Extremely tasty. A lot of fruits, etc. Personnel: friendliness and professionalism The only minus (not directly belongs to the hotel) is choice of the bicycle rent partner, namely Tsampika Rent. They gave me, in fact, out of order bike with deflated tires. Moreover, their serviceman rejected to inflate them, reasoning that they will “boom” and I was obliged to ride almost on the rims. So avoid that premise. And, pursuing not to finish at that sad note, I DO RECOMMEND this nice, cozy, friendly and enough well-located hotel. And just one great feature: it is a family hotel, but one cannot find children and infants in the vicinity (except the restaurant) since the “children zone” SEPARATED!

What a great hotel but a little out of the way, luckily there is a bus stop right outside the hotel next to the shop which can take you pretty much everywhere. We stayed for a week, food is okay, very repetitive, the cocktails are strong. We paid £1200 all inclusive for two. Weather was 26-30, staff were very lively, always smiling. Only 5-10min walk to the beach down a dirt track with loads of goats 😂. Pools were clean and no rush for sunbeds in a morning which was a bonus, kids pool looked amazing if you have children. Rooms a little basic but always cleaned daily. Overall I'd advise this hotel for a quiet break and relax by the pool.
