The area is far less developed than the northeast resorts, and the nearby Prasonisi peninsula, Lardos and Lindos are accessible by car. Transfers from the airport take about an hour. The surrounding countryside is rural, with olive groves and farmland behind the coast, and the pace of life is slow compared with the main resort towns. The resort sits in a quiet part of the island, far from the busier northeast resorts. Double Rooms and Suites are listed, with wifi, a pool, a restaurant, a bar and beachfront access. A restaurant and bar are on site, and Gennadi village has a few local tavernas. The pool and beach are the main leisure features; no spa is listed in the guide's data. Service is full-service resort style. In the luxury category, the property is aimed at visitors who want a full-service five-star stay, with larger rooms and suites, more extensive dining and leisure facilities and a higher level of service. Rates are highest in July and August, and the best value is usually found in late spring and early autumn. Visitors planning a special occasion can ask the hotel about suite options, spa packages and transfer services in advance. Visitors planning a stay on Rhodes should note that the island has a hot, dry summer climate, with daytime highs often above 30 degrees Celsius from June to September, and that sunscreen, water and a hat are advisable for excursions. Car rental is widely available at the airport and in the main resorts, and taxis are plentiful but cost more over longer distances. Euro cash is useful for small tavernas and beach bars, and most hotels accept major cards.
