Lindian Jewel Hotel and Villas

Lindian Jewel Hotel and Villas is an upscale resort on the Rodou-Lindou road at Lindos, on the east coast of Rhodes, Greece. Guests rate it 9.1/10 on Booking.com, and a sample listing showed rates from about 327 EUR (376 USD) per night. Lindos is a whitewashed village on the east coast of Rhodes, around 50 kilometres from Rhodes Town, dominated by the Acropolis of Lindos, which combines ancient Greek temple remains with a medieval Knights of St John fortress. Narrow pedestrian lanes, captain's houses and the beaches of Main Beach and St Paul's Bay define the area. Public buses run from Rhodes Town, and transfers from the airport take roughly an hour. The village is crowded in the middle of the day in summer, so many visitors climb to the Acropolis early in the morning and spend afternoons at the beach or in the shaded lanes below. The property combines hotel rooms with villas and sits close to Lindos, home to the Acropolis. Double Rooms and Family Rooms are listed, with wifi, a pool, a restaurant and a bar. A restaurant and bar are on site, and Lindos has many tavernas. The pool is the main leisure feature; no spa is listed in the guide's data. Service is upscale and suited to couples and families. The hotel's website is lindianjewel.com. In the upscale category, the property targets visitors looking for a higher standard of rooms, food and service than a basic package hotel, at prices below those of the island's top five-star resorts. Rates rise noticeably in July and August and fall in May, June, September and October, when the weather is still warm and the resorts are less crowded. Booking direct or comparing the hotel website with online travel agencies can show differences in meal plans and cancellation terms.
