Hop Into Easter: Family Fun in Rhodes Awaits!
Sarah’s Stay at Atlantica Aegean, Rhodes:
A fantastic family-friendly resort with amazing service, great food, and beautiful surroundings – we can’t wait to go back!
Evenings Full of Entertainment
Every night kicked off with the mini disco for the kids, which was honestly one of the highlights of the trip for our little one. It was followed by evening shows, including live singers, magicians, and something new each night. It was great to have something fun to look forward to after dinner without needing to leave the hotel.
A Morning Walk to Kolymbia & Beach Time
One morning, we decided to get out and explore a bit more, so we took a lovely 25–30 minute walk into Kolymbia. It was such a nice stroll, and once we arrived, we spent some time relaxing on the beach—peaceful, sunny, and a great change of pace. Afterward, we wandered through some of the local shops and beachfront restaurants for a snack and a browse.
If walking isn’t for you, there’s a bus stop right outside the hotel, and you’ll also find a few handy shops and a nearby restaurant just a short walk away.
Little Extras That Make a Big Difference
There are so many thoughtful extras at the hotel, like an on-site supermarket, a mini arcade, and an indoor soft play area for little ones—great for those in-between moments or when the sun gets a bit too strong.
Hi everyone! It’s Sarah here, and I’ve just returned from the most amazing family trip to Rhodes, staying at the beautiful Atlantica Aegean Blue Hotel in Kolymbia. We booked a 4-night All-Inclusive stay, and honestly, it was just what we needed. If you’re a family looking for a relaxed, fun, and totally stress-free escape—this hotel has it all.
First Impressions & A Warm Welcome
From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of. The welcome at reception was lovely, and the check-in process was smooth and quick. The team even encouraged us to head into the restaurant before it closed while they got our room ready—such a thoughtful touch after a long day of travel!
Our Room: Spacious, Stylish & Family-Ready
We stayed in a Standard Sea View Room, and it was absolutely perfect for our little family of three. The room was bright, clean, and modern with a huge king-size bed, a single bed for our little one, TV, Nespresso coffee machine, fridge, and a super sleek shower-only bathroom.
We had a gorgeous view of the pool and entertainment area from our balcony—perfect for enjoying a quiet coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening. Plus, we were just a short walk from reception and the bar area, which made everything feel so convenient.
Poolside Bliss & Waterpark Fun
One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the pool and water areas. The main pool is full of life and laughter—inflatables welcome, which our little one loved! There’s also a more serene ocean-facing pool that’s geared more towards adults (kids are welcome too, but must be supervised), which made for some nice quiet moments.
And of course, we spent loads of time at the on-site waterpark, which is open from 10am–12:30pm and 1:30pm–4pm. There’s a one-hour break in the middle, which is actually great for a bit of downtime. The splash zone is brilliant for younger kids, and the nearby kids’ club, football courts, and tennis courts are easily accessible throughout the day.
All-Inclusive Delights 🍕🥗
The food? Absolutely brilliant!
Lunchtimes were an absolute win thanks to the snack bar by the pool—quick, delicious, and perfect for families on the go. There were plenty of options like pizza, chips, wraps, and Caesar salads—something for everyone.
In the evenings, we dined in the main buffet restaurant. Each night had a different theme, which kept things interesting, and there was even a special kids’ buffet section where children could help themselves—my little boy loved that independence.
We did try to get into the à la carte restaurants, but they were fully booked—so my tip is to download the hotel app and try to book them before you arrive. They looked fantastic and super popular!
Final Thoughts
In short—I’d 100% recommend Atlantica Aegean Blue to any family thinking about a holiday in Rhodes. It was clean, modern, packed with activities, and the staff were wonderful. We felt completely relaxed the whole time, and there was so much for both adults and kids to enjoy.
Already thinking about when we can go back!
