From the moment you arrived you knew that you would get what you have paid for. Service was second to none, food options plenty, rooms clean and delicate, in all a first class experience which keeps it promisese from adverts and the hotels homepage. Already ordered our summer vacation for 2025 in Mayia Resort.

I have just spent an amazing 5 nights pre-honeymoon at the Mayia with my husband. We were both really impressed from the moment we arrived. We had one of the swim up rooms with a sea view, which again was very impressive. On arrival had complimentary Prosecco & Chocolates A fully stocked mini bar. We had sun shining on our terrace from sunrise until around 4pm. Which after that was able to head down to one of the main pools which was nice and chilled not overcrowded we never struggled to find a couple of sun beds and upon arrival it wasn’t long before one of the waiters would come and take a drinks order from us, which was very good service which we found from all of the staff who could never seem to do enough for you. We tried all of the restaurants which we were impressed with, but in particular the main restaurant stood out for us with the exceptional choose of cuisine different at every meal time. We will be returning for one of our anniversary’s highly recommend A****

Best hotel we've been to and the only place we'd visit again in a heartbeat. Staff were great, we enjoyed the pool, the restaurants were really nice and we loved the champagne bar. The room was perfect and the whole place just feels luxurious and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed the white party too. The only complaint would be the drinks in the night club were super strong but we still had a good time!

We visited for 10 nights in October, and really enjoyed our stay!! We stayed in a lovely, modern, room with an ocean view, and were well looked after on our arrival late at night. The surroundings, restaurants and pool area are really beautiful. It was no bother at all to get a sunbed, either by the pool or on the beach. There is a huge selection of places to eat and drink. We particularly loved the Italian restaurant (Mr V is brilliant!) and the Greek restaurant (the manager is lovely!), order the lamb chops! The ladies who ran the water aerobics were great! Then back to pool side with a cocktail. Special mention to the lovely Renato for my cosmopolitans! Every evening there was entertainment, great shows! Would love to return! Can not recommend enough!

Firstly, I'd like to thank George at the resort for his incredibly generous welcome and personal greeting when my husband and I arrived. George had reviewed our booking and saw that I had advised them of being vegan, and he went out of his way to personally ensure that I was catered for. As a special treat, he also gave us an upgrade to the most incredible suite, which was absolutely breathtaking! What a welcome! Thank you so much George. I needn't have worried about being vegan like I have done on other European holidays; all the restaurants cater for all dietary requirements, with someone always on hand in the main restaurant and al la carte restaurants to point you in the right direction or cook something especially for you. Even the poolside 'market' area has fully vegan options in all the cafes. Honestly I have NEVER eaten so well while on holiday - Mayia have hands down won my heart in this department! The whole resort is spotless with a huge team of staff working diligently to ensure you have everything you need during your stay. We asked for a kettle on the first day (we don't drink coffee, only tea) and it was brought to us without delay. Our suite was spotlessly clean and maintained every day, with clean bedding and towels as needed. And that pool - having your own pool is such a luxury but well worth it. The hot tub was maintained daily as well. My only very minor grip was that the suites are very close to the family resort next door, which plays music late and very loudly, so we weren't able to sleep as well as we would have hoped. But this is not in the control of the resort, so I cannot blame them for this. All pool areas were also spotless, and there was never a worry about lounger space. So many times on holiday, you see people heading out as the sun rises to put towels on loungers, but there is no need here; there is plenty of space for all guests. The staff working the toolbars were incredibly attentive and friendly despite being the hottest week of the year so far (and threats of forest fires in Rhodes again). They got to know us and could tell our drinks orders before we gave them! The whole resort also smells amazing! Attention to detail is clearly evident everywhere, from the architecture, the design and the layout to the quality and friendliness. I cannot rate this resort any more highly and am confident we shall return in the near future. Thank you so much!

Our honeymoon stay at Mayia Resort was everything we wanted and needed. From the moment we arrived we were looked after. The staff at reception were always more than happy to help and even managed to help me source an amazing bouquet of flowers for my wife's birthday at 24 hours notice! We stayed in a swim up room which was perfect if you wanted to retreat and cool off. We managed get booked in and to try each of the a la carté restaurants. The Italian and Greek being our favourites! The staff at each were always enthusiastic and happy to recommend different things, it was a highlight of our visit as the experience was so good. These restaurant require a booking on the app often a day or two in advance. You need to be quick at midnight the day the times are released. The Greek and Italian restaurants don't need a reservation at lunchtime. There is the buffet available which is also amazing at breakfast, lunch and dinner. So much selection it made you want to try it all. The different bars were all fantastic, the champagne bar was nice for a drink before a meal but the main bar overlooking the resort near reception was our favourite. The pool bar always had some entertainment going on an evening too. We treated ourselves to treatment at the spa and for a honeymoon treat, it was worth it. We had the cretan massage, (with some nice discount from the lady who walked by the pool during the day). The hotel has their own private beach, we preferred the pools but if you prefer the beach, water shoes are recommended as it is pretty rocky in the water. If you're thinking of booking, do it. You won't regret it.

Stayed for 1 week in September 2024. Echoing all other reviews, this hotel is fantastic. I could be here all day writing about the positives! Food is brilliant, even the buffet.

Stayed for 1 week in September 2024. Echoing all other reviews, this hotel is fantastic. I could be here all day writing about the positives! Food is brilliant, even the buffet. Drinks service around the pool was excellent and remained consistent throughout our stay - our order was remembered everyday without prompt! Sunbeds aren't crammed together and no sunbed wars. We also loved the evening entertainment at the ampitheatre. Our room was modern, spacious and the mini bar was great. One thing I noticed here and was pleased about is that the housekeeping was consistent and came at the same time everyday - by the time we came back from breakfast at 10am, our room had already been cleaned. The spa is also great, quite expensive but it was so worth it. They were fully booked (we made a last minute booking, not expecting to get in) but the staff still accommodated us by bringing in an extra therapist. We will 100% return sometime in the future, thank you for an excellent holiday!

We're now back from our second stay at the Mayia Hotel and, like the first visit, we were so pleased with our stay. In fact, we enjoyed our second stay more than the first. Why... this time we stayed in one of the Mayia Suites - absolute luxury and would recommend anyone considering these rooms! Also despite it being more than a year since our first visit, and the large number of guests that would have visited in that time, so may of the staff recognised and remembered us. It really does have that family feel in the hotel that you don't always find within the hospitality industry. I could call out individual names but it would be quicker for me to say that every single member of staff that we interacted with made our stay more enjoyable, from check-in, reception, concierge, bar staff, street food, breakfast staff, lunch staff, a la carte, champagne bar... the list goes on. We were very fortunate that the weather remained very hot given it was the last week in October but that would not have affected our stay and we will be returning in the future. Thank you Mayia and until next time!

My partner and I enjoyed the most unbelievable one week all inclusive premium stay, our first time in Rhodes was magical. We loved it so much shortly after returning home we booked for next year extending for 10 nights. The hotel and staff offered us everything and more, it truly exceeded all expectations. Absolutely breathtaking views and the little details made the resort even more special. This is definitely our happy place and we made such amazing memories here. We hired a boat one day from beach bums this was one of our favourite days, such good value for money and a fun way to see more of what this beautiful island has to offer. Next year we will be venturing to Blue Lagoon, we didn’t know about this until after but it looks amazing. The food and drink options are endless and the A La Carte restaurants were 10/10. We ate at the Pan Asian twice it was gorgeous, if you’re foodies like us this is definitely the hotel for you. Even the buffet was fantastic offering themed nights every night, we were spoilt for choice. From start to finish everything was beyond perfect, the staff go the extra mile and nothing is too much for them. The hotel has everything if you didn’t wish to leave whilst you’re there, however if you do Lindos is only a 20 minute cab journey away. We had another amazing day exploring Lindos town, shopping in the cute pretty boutiques, market stalls and eating a lovely authentic lunch. We then spent the rest of the day at St Paul’s Bay, this is a must visit! Beautiful day out. Symi island is also on our list for next year. Big shout out and huge thanks to the most wonderful, hardworking, attentive, professional polite team, without them our holiday wouldn’t have been what it was. David and Christos beach bar, Valerios Italian restaurant the service we received was exceptional, Giannis pool bar, Panagiotis, Tatiava and Christos thank you for such a warm welcome at reception. Your front of house hospitality was amazing. Bledi and Dimitris porter, Vasiliki main bar. Every drink, iced coffee, cocktail we had was lovely. The strawberry frozen daiquiris were perfection. The hotel was always in pristine condition, so clean, tidy and smelling devine. We ended our holiday with the most beautiful relaxing cretan message and aloe vera full body wrap, would highly recommend experiencing their stunning tranquil spa facilities. Thank you so much, Stella was amazing helping us find the best treatments for us. We’re counting down the days until we’re back in paradise, this resort is the definition of pure luxury!

I have been putting off writing this review, because I have a lot to write. Mayia is beautiful. We arrived late because our plane was delayed by about 2 hours. We were greeted by the staff and they offered us some drinks as we were checking in. We were surprised though, that we had to pay about 70 Euro at check-in and they said this was for tax. No one had mentioned this to us before. The butler took our bags to the golf buggy and showed us around the resort before taking us to our room. He showed us around the room and gave us the hotel information before he left. The room was beautiful and we loved that we had a semi private pool. They had left snacks in the room for us, which went very good to be honest. The portion was for one person and the wrap was soggy. The breakfast was good, but it was repetitive, but I understand that there is not much you can change with breakfast. My husband loved the Greek pastries and had them everyday. The eggs were a let down and I tried different ones everyday. They did not have that much taste to them.The lunch and dinner buffet had some good dishes and some dishes that were not that great. The beef dishes were often a bit dry or tough. We tried the Greek and Italian restaurants and the food was delicious in both of the restaurants. One of the waiters in the Italian restaurant was really good, unfortunately we did not get his name (he didn't have hair). We loved the dessert shop and we went there every day. The best cocktails were from the pool bar. The beach was nice, besides being stoney. It needs more attention though, because there were cigarette buds in the sand around the tables. People from other resorts kept coming over to use the sunbeds, so a sign should be put up to say it's a private area. Also I think that there should be designated areas for smoking, because sometimes the smoke ruined it for non smokers. All the staff were really good. Our room was cleaned everyday, however a couple of the days it smelt like a dirty mop had been used to wipe the floors. The waiters were friendly, especially in the main restaurant. Special mention goes to Dimitra (the supervisor) she took the drinks order, the young boy Ioannis (John) and the lady with red hair and glasses. Room 2020 just needs more privacy when you are in the pool, because it's right next to the path and there is a bit of foot traffic. Hopefully when the bushes grow, they will offer more privacy. We will definitely be returning to Mayia.

We arrived for our 3rd stay at the Mayia Exclusive Resort. The flight, luggage collection at the airport and the transfers were all quick and efficient. From the time of landing to getting our luggage it was roughly 30 minutes and we had no trouble finding our private transfer. Off to the hotel which is about 1 hour from the airport. Check in was smooth and quick. The reception staff are always helpful and efficient. We were shown to our room, a premier suite with partition and balcony with sea view. There was a fruit plate and a bottle of sparkling wine waiting to welcome us back. Breakfast and lunch are served in the Waterfront Restaurant “Buffet Style”. Plenty of selection, but food is always tepid in temperature. There is a guy at breakfast that will cook eggs/omelettes to order. The 3 al-la-carte restaurants have to be pre-booked up to 2 days in advance which you can do on the hotel app or go to reception. We managed to get booked in for our first 3 nights thanks to Giannis (Customer Relations Manager) so kind and efficient. Our first meal was at the Italian restaurant “Al Dente”. The menu had changed from last year, not as extensive, but we managed to find something we liked. You can also eat here at lunch times, without having to book, where they serve pizzas and pasta. Service at this restaurant is excellent. Secondly we tried the Greek restaurant, “Thymari”. Again the menu had changed from last year which was not as extensive as we remember. You can also eat here at lunch time without booking and they serve Meze’s, which is great. Food and service is really good. We also tried the Asian restaurant “Wasabi”. The menu again had changed and there was not as much choice. The service was not as good as previous years. Our room was very spacious - huge bed, sofa, a nice balcony with lovely views of the sea (spoilt slightly by the car park in front), a walk–in shower and toilet. There was lots of storage plus a mini fridge with cold drinks, miniature alcohol bottles and snacks which was replenished daily. The main pool areas are kept very clean and you can always find a sun bed at any time of the day. We went to the beach area every other day to break up the holiday. It has a really nice setting - comfortable beds, a small bar serving drinks and snacks. We tried the lunch options this year which we found very good and tasty. The pool bar "Senso" is a great place to hang out day or night. The staff are so attentive and soon learn your drink preferences which is amazing considering the number of people they serve. The evening staff even remembered our drink preferences. As soon as we sat down, they were on the table without even having to ask - that is service for you. During the day, the guys that run the bar are really good fun and the drinks always plentiful. The "Del Mar" (Lobby Bar) was always a great place to hang out in the evenings. However this year the staff were miserable. It was as though they didn’t want to be there. We only went in there on one occasion which was a shame as we really enjoyed it in previous years. The holiday was fantastic from start to finish. We will definitely be returning. Just like to give a mention to some of the wonderful staff that we encountered during our stay to recognise their kindness and service. Renato Jaupaj - our Amigo from Albania - Senso Bar – pours gin forever! Yannis - Senso Bar Al - waiter around pool - Senso Bar Valantis – waiter around pool – Senso Bar Maria & Marsel – evening bar staff - Senso Bar Valerios - Waiter at Al Dente - with the great acting skills! The Captain - Wasabi - unfortunately we cannot remember your name but you are a lovely lady. Yanni - Captain at Al Dente Wilson - waiter at the Waterfront Restaurant Francesca at Champagne Bar Tsampikos - Reception To everyone else, we thank you for another great holiday and hope to see you all again soon.

To start our private transfer from the airport was the just over an hours drive but it felt like 20 minutes. Upon arrival at the hotel we were instantly greeted the minute we got there. All the staff were very attentive yet relaxed - we were offered a glass of fizz which we turned down as we don’t drink (so we’re given a nice mocktail) and a seat in their huge reception and within 5 mins we were presented with our key and a golf buggy came to collect us and our luggage. We booked the Premium Sea View Swim Up Bungalow and it was lovely. Very clean, serviced daily, we had them take out the alcohol from the mini bar and they gave us more yummy chocolate, water and juices which was restocked daily. At first it feels like a large resort but nothing is super far - lots of stairs and slopes but there are lifts also to each level. The resort itself is so clean and constantly being cleaned even though it is reaching the end of the season. The 2 pools are huge and very clean however absolutely freezing so bear this in mind. (It’s takes some braveness) There is a guy at each pool taking drinks orders - these guys work so so hard and deserved a tip each day and appreciated it too. Buffet is a very large space and the food is definitely quality over quantity but saying that there is definitely something for everyone. The other restaurants are good too - our favourite was the Japanese. Booking for the restaurants are via the app and they are bookable 2 days in advance from midnight - we managed to get booked into each restaurant for dinner at least once (you can book as much as you want). The Greek and Italian are also open for lunch with no booking required.

The hotel on arrival blew us away. We had a lovely welcome on arrival and was taken to our room which we was very impressed with. We booked a swim up room and the pool was meant to be heated - it's was freezing which was disappointing. We enjoyed the Greek restaurant but sadly that's where it ended. We got dressed up and was very much looking forward to eating in the Asian restaurant and having a few glasses of fizz in the champagne bar before our meal. Franceska greeted us with not even a smile and poured our drinks and dumped them on the bar. We noticed that everyone who came in after us was greeted with a smile, had napkins put under their glasses and were served canapés. My husband asked her if we had done something wrong as we wasn't receiving the same service as everyone one else but her reply was "sir, I'm busy, I can't do everything " No apology or understanding. We then moved on to the Asian to enjoy our meal. Very poor service! Our drinks were forgotten and our mains was slammed on the table. I was so upset I left and went to reception and asked to speak to a manager but he couldn't be bothered to speak to me so I was told to go back the next day. The hotel & grounds are beautiful but there is zero atmosphere which really lets the hotel down. The white party wasn't on which was a shame but after speaking to the staff, they informed me that it was end of season and management couldn't be bothered. The app is a nightmare to book the al la carte restaurants so I went to reception to book the Italian only to find they hadn't booked us in. It was our last evening so I wanted to try it before we went home but we wasn't booked in and was told the restaurant was full and there's nothing they could do. After asking to speak to a manager at reception and being avoided again, the lovely guy at reception managed to get us in the Italian straight away. The management seem to hide which I find very poor. Renato wrongly accused my husband of something and made us feel extremely uncomfortable and ruined our holiday - he definitely needs training in customer relations!! Raising your voice to customers in front of other guests isn't professional. The rest of the staff at the pool bar were absolutely lovely. We hired a boat from beach bums which I highly recommend. The street food outlets were a lovely touch but the main buffet was cold so we didn'teat in there much. We booked the spa which I personally didn't think it was worth the money. The pool was cold and the whole experience didn't have the wow factor for the money we paid. The drink selection is great and the cocktails were lovely. I've previously been to Stella Island and Mayia isn't a patch Stella unfortunately. For the money we paid I really didn't think it was worth it and was furious with the rude staff who ruined it for us. The entertainment in the evening is great when it's on but the evenings when there's nothing on, it's boring. Would I recommend? Sadly not after our experience.

Arrived here for 10 days end of October . On first sight hotel lobby looked beautifull and the hotel itself . We were offered a glass of fizz each as a welcome drink . There was one person on the reception as it was after 12 midnight . He gave us our card and said your room is just over there you can walk to it no problem . As we had just arrived and were very tired after our flight being delayed I would have thought the porter could have showed us to our room as he was bringing the suitcase but no we had to fend for ourselves not a good 5 star impression . We did find our room adtwe Going round in circles a few times not what you really need at that time of night . So we had booked a deluxe sea view swim up room and on arriving we realised our sea view was blocked by a building in front . In the morning we said to reception and they were very nice and Moved us right away to a beautifull room with a great sea view . The room in itself was very modern and clean . The only thing I would say is they say the swim ups are heated they certainly don’t feel heated at all . They are very cold when you get in and You can’t spend a lot of time in them as they are so cold . Lots of their guests were saying this as well.. The food ar the hotel overall was good though wee were not a fan at all of the beef . The burgers tasted weird and the beef dish at the Italian was tough . The lamb dishes were not great either very tough my partner said . You could have other dishes like mussels and prawns etc which were lovely as were the pizzas . We preferred the a la carte restaurants to the buffet really not a fan of the food in there . Though booking the a la carte restaurants was a nightmare you has to wait till after midnight on the app to book and then you couldn’t get anything most times . We had read previous reviews and it said if you. Went to reception they booked it for you which we did and they were helpfulll and did get us in the restaurants but it spends who you spoke to as some guests told us they couldn’t get in at all . Think this system needs to be replaced . The hotel was spotless and most of the staff were very nice and helpfull . We got on the little train outside to go to Kaotori which was just a bit of fun not much there but there is little secluded beaches all around which were very nice to walk too as well. We also spent a day in Lindos which is only 20 mins away by bus which you can get outside the hotel . We climbed to the top of the acropolis in Lindos and went to St Paul’s bay which is stunning . Overall the Mayia is a beautifull hotel in a secluded area. Great if you want to just chill in luxury surroundings . Also I felt there was not enough entertainment at the hotel only three nights a week in the amphitheater so it could become a bit boring at night as there is not too much to do around the hotel . Would have liked to see tha amphitheater used more as when it was used everyone had a great time with he acts that were on dancing and singing with them . Overall the Mayia is a lovely hotel in a secluded area . Would I return . Maybe if there was more entertainment and some other improvements in other areas .

We have just returned home from a wonderful week at Mayia Exclusive resort and Spa. The facilities are immense, every need is catered for, from the quality and variety of food to the luxurious feel of the hotel to the incredibly helpful staff. Our room was large and beautifully designed, the beds are huge not to mention the well stocked mini bar. If you have booked this hotel you are in for a treat. All the staff made us feel incredibly well looked after, nothing was too much trouble, they truly just want you to have a great experience. Special mention to Tatiana on reception who was very helpful and welcoming. The private beach with inclusive snack bar was a lovely bonus not to mention the view and location to the beach. We caught the bus to Lindos and Rhodes Old Town which was a cheap and efficient way to travel and definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed some of the evening entertainment like the Beatles tribute act and the various singers. Thank you for a wonderful holiday- one to remember!

We have just returned from a wonderful week at the Mayia Resort and Spa. We needed a break where there was no pressure and this was achieved from the moment of arrival. Your cases are taken to your room and you are presented with a glass of bubbly. The resort was very clean throughout. The design of the place is spectacular and we managed to get some amazing photos. There were 3 shows during the week. A drifters tribute band (the golden tones) was the best but the Beatles came a close second. There was also an Il Divo tribute band on the first night which we watched from our balcony. I’m not sure the themed restaurants met our expectations, and the booking system is difficult, but what I will say is, don’t worry about it. The food in the main dining room is the best and the service incredible. A special mention must be made for Wilson who gave exceptional service and made sure my wine and tea was delivered quickly. Plates are cleared away at lightening speed. There is a huge choice too. We were disappointed by the food at the Italian particularly as I had read such rave reviews on here. The food was ok. The Asian restaurant was a bit better and the Greek probably the best. But the Waterfront restaurant exceeded expectations. You have to eat there the first three nights as you can only book the themed restaurants 3 days in advance at midnight on the app. So potentially, if you are staying for 7 nights you can booked the themed restaurants nights 4, 5, 6 and 7. We cancelled our restaurant booking for night 7 and went back to the main dining room for our final night as it was better. The swimming pool is ice cold which was fine. That probably is a nice touch when the temperatures are soaring in the height of summer. :-) I had a Cretian massage with an Aloe Vera treatment for 160 euros. This compares ok with similar resorts but expensive compared to home. The massage was ok. I had the guy. Service at the pool bar and around the pool was friendly and quick. Loved the street food area. Nice food choice for lunch and plenty of it. A special mention for the champagne bar and the Del Mar bar which was included in the all inclusive. Lots of choice of drinks and very good service, especially the young lady in the Del Mar bar! All in all a brilliant holiday. You would find it hard to criticise anything, although some people apparently manage it! Having run a boutique hotel, I can say that they are doing a good job. We spent a day in Lindos which is well worth visiting. We booked a taxi via hotel at 27 euros. A lovely driver, safe and friendly. He picked us back up and charged 25 euros for the return journey. The driver is excellent and told us the history of the region. He also stopped for photos. Kostas (+30) 6936151644 if you want to book direct. Tell him Jackie recommended him! You might want to catch the little train which goes to Kiotori beach and back round. It was 7 euros each and you can hop on and off. Good fun. Well done Mayia and thank you. PS. Booked the BA package which worked well.

Me and my husband are currently at Mayia - it was a choice between this hotel and Stella Island and I am so glad we chose Mayia - it is absolutely stunning. Firstly our private transfer from the airport was the bougiest transfer we have ever had - we felt very special. Just over an hours drive felt like 20 mins! Air con, water and comfort. Upon arrival at the hotel we were greeted the minute we stepped out of the transfer. In entering reception the smell was unreal!! I need this for my house! Staff were very attentive yet relaxed - we were offered a glass of fizz and a seat in their huge reception and within 5 mins we were presented with our key and a golf buggy came to collect us and our luggage. We booked the Premium Sea View Swim Up Bungalow and it is stunning. Very clean, serviced daily, mini bar restocked daily with premium items. Shower is lovely and the huge bed super comfortable. It is a large resort but nothing is super far - lots of stairs and slopes but there are lifts also to each level. The resort itself is so clean and constantly being cleaned even though it is reaching the end of the season. And even though end of season the resort is still in top condition. The 2 pools are huge and very clean however absolutely freezing so bear this in mind. Maybe warmer in high season when the sun is at its hottest? Would have appreciated some music around the pool for a bit of atmosphere but there is none except at the main pool bar. There is a guy servicing each pool taking drinks orders - these guys work so hard and deserved a tip each day and appreciated it too. Buffet is a very large space and the food is definitely quality over quantity but saying that there is definitely something for everyone. The other restaurants are fantastic - our favourite was the Italian but there was also the Greek and the Japanese. Booking for the restaurants are via the app and they are bookable 2 days in advance from midnight - we managed to get booked into each restaurant for dinner at least once (you can book as much as you want). The Greek and Italian are also open for lunch with no booking required. Don’t miss the champagne bar which is on the top floor with the japenese restaurant as it’s gorgeous up there with a piano guy. The staff in the whole resort are fabulous. The service at the main bar is also fantastic and they also deserve a little tip - our glasses were never empty! The only let down for us was the beach area - unfortunately it is very stoney with no sand unlike the pictures on insta! And the beach bar is a bit grubby and does not reflect the hotel in any way. The loungers were lovely and comfy (same as around the pool) but personally we felt it was a bit neglected. We did enjoy a beach walk every morning but this was all on stones and shingle and hard going! There is a bus stop just outside the back of the resort to take you to Lindos for 3 euros - we personally took a taxi into Lindos one evening, organised by reception and was 27 euros for approx a 20 min journey and Lindos is stunning (at night all lit up) it was very quite there which was nice and it is one of those must see locations. Lots of rooftop bars and restaurants and shops! Don’t miss it. All in all Mayia is a total 5 star resort and totally recommend especially end of October - the weather is amazing and the resort doesn’t feel busy at all.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay. Our room was spacious and modern with a sea view balcony. The pool areas were lovely. The food in every restaurant was of a high standard, we thoroughly enjoyed every one. Finally the staff, brilliant service from everyone, helpful and polite. We travel...

All boxes ticked ! Our first visit, we booked only a few weeks ago based on great online reviews. We were not disappointed. Let’s start with the staff. From the restaurants, gym, bars, spa, to poolside , housekeeping , reception and concierge. We got to know their names, they remembered ours, and where we like to sit, what we liked to drink. All inclusive meant everything. Not just all bars but also a champagne bar with quality champagne. Not just a high quality main buffet restaurant plus also 3 specialty restaurants and various other quality food outlets. All included. Good gym and daily exercise classes. Aqua fit every morning. Great evening entertainment in the amphitheatre. Beatles, Drifters, El Divo acts. We could go on

Staying at Mayia was an incredible experience! The hotel is beautifully designed and offers pure luxury.

Again Mayia resort has been another wonderful and relaxing stay for our wedding anniversary. We don't usually return to holiday resorts but this is our 4th stay which just says it all. Very high standards, clean with fantastic staff. Food in all restaurants is very good. Only difficulty we found this year was trying to book a la carte restaurants within 48 hours. We found them to be fully booked or almost fully booked. We would like to say a special thank you to Francesca in the Champagne bar who kept us topped up, to Vilson who looked after us in the Waterfront, to Valerios who entertained us in the Italian and finally to Poppy our cleaner of room 3005. Thank you again Mayia. We will be back.
