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!

We’re back with another USA blog as part of our FIFA World Cup 26 series. This week, while Las Vegas isn’t actually hosting any matches, we’re seeing plenty of fans adding it into their US trips — and it’s easy to see why. Las Vegas is one of those destinations that doesn’t really need an introduction, but we’ll give it one anyway. This is the city where an Eiffel Tower stands next to a pyramid. Where breakfast at 2pm is completely normal. Where you can watch world-class shows, take a gondola ride through Venice, stand beneath dancing fountains, and try your luck in a casino… all without leaving the Strip. It's loud. It's over the top. It's completely bonkers. And that's exactly why people love it. First things first, let’s get the stereotype out of the way. Yes, Las Vegas is known for hen dos, stag parties and group weekend getaways. But Vegas isn’t selective — it really does have something for everyone. Whether you’re planning the ultimate hen party, a family trip, a couples getaway, or even a solo adventure, Las Vegas works in more ways than people expect. So with that in mind, here are our must-do experiences for your first visit.

Ready for your latest USA instalment as part of our FIFA World Cup 26 series? This week we’re heading to one of the most iconic cities in the world as England prepare to take on Panama on 27th June. Of course, we’re talking about New York City. New York doesn’t really need an introduction. Even if you’ve never been, you already know it — you’ve seen it in films, on TV, in adverts, and probably scrolling Instagram at 2am when you start planning trips you haven’t actually booked yet. Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, Broadway, yellow taxis everywhere… it’s one of those cities that feels familiar before you even arrive. But here’s the question we get asked all the time as travel agents: "When is the best time to visit New York?" And honestly? It's a difficult one to answer. Summer in New York is absolutely unreal. Rooftop bars packed, outdoor events everywhere, Central Park in full swing, street performers, long evenings where you lose track of time just wandering around. But then winter rolls in… And suddenly New York turns into something else entirely. It’s the New York you've seen in the films. Christmas lights everywhere. Ice skating in Central Park. Markets in Bryant Park. Fifth Avenue looking like a film set. It’s very “Home Alone 2 energy” if we’re being honest. So rather than picking a winner, we've decided to do something a little different. We've put together two perfect three-day itineraries – one for a summer visit and one for a winter city break. Same New York. Completely different vibe.

If you’ve been to Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel before, you’ll already know how special it is. And if it’s been on your list for a while, now might be the perfect time to go.  The hotel officially reopened on 2nd May 2026 after a six-month refurbishment, and one of our team (Carly from head office) was lucky enough to spend a week there straight after reopening to see what’s changed. It’s always really important that our agents know hotels inside and out, so that you can trust they know what they are talking about when they make recommendations for your holiday.

We’re back with another USA blog ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, and this time we’re diving into the legend that is Dallas. Dallas is known for iconic Texas BBQ, high-end shopping, cowboy culture, and the historic assassination site of John F. Kennedy. But most importantly… SPORTS.  And, with England taking on Croatia on the 17th June, there’s no better time to talk about one of America’s true sports cities.

Roses are red, violets are blue, no matter what you're looking for, we have a holiday for you.... We had to put a cheesy line in here somewhere… But, we often fall into the trap of a ‘classic romance.’ Don’t get us wrong some of us are secret cringy romantics at heart. But here’s the thing: romance is subjective. For some, it’s the adrenaline of a sunrise hike in Iceland; for others, it’s the total seclusion of a Bora Bora lagoon or the "main character energy" of walking through New York City. Whether you are planning a Valentine’s Day trip, a long-overdue anniversary escape, or maybe the perfect proposal spot… we’ve curated a list of the best romantic holiday destinations for 2026.

2026 is all about those "pinch-me" moments. It’s about finally booking those tickets, packing the bag, and doing that one trip that’s been on your bucket list for years. But the best bit? Everyone’s dream looks different. For some, their dream destination looks like white-washed sands and an overwater villa, Or maybe it’s, backpack on, trekking up a mountain just to catch that first glimpse of the view. Some crave the buzz of a city that never sleeps, or the silence of a wide-open road. Whatever your dream destination is, we’re here to help you turn that daydream into a reality. To give you some serious inspo, we sat down with our travel agents to see which dreams they’re chasing this year.
