Pefkos Village Resort

This modest, but comfortable hotel appeals to couples and families for its pleasant, quiet environment and warm staff. The lobby is small, done mostly in ivory with a light-green accent wall. Comfortable sofas, curio cabinets, and bookshelves create a homey feel. Past the lobby, the indoor restaurant space is modest, but attractive. Large paintings of a beach scene dominate the walls on one side of the room, plus there are some decorative plates, a few plants, and vases. Simple tables with straight-back wood chairs fill the dining area, though patio seating is nicer with marble-topped tables and cushioned metal chairs looking out to the pool. The adjacent bar has a few comfortable sofas inside forming a lounge area, with a green accent wall and bright throw pillows providing a few pops of color. Grounds are lovely, featuring brick pathways lined by greenery and pretty flowers. Guests consistently find the staff to be warm and helpful, making this a lovely self-catering base for a visit to the island. 

This hotel is on the eastern coast of Rhodes, south of Lindos on a small peninsula. A small, rocky beach is a five-minute walk from the hotel, but there’s little else nearby. It is a hilly 15-minute walk, or five-minute drive, from the hotel into the small village of Pefkos, where there are many good restaurants, some shops, and a beautiful sandy beach. It is a 12-minute drive to Lindos, where guests can check out the Lindos Acropolis and its stunning views, visit the beautiful Church of the Panagia, and hike to the Tomb of Kleoboulos. From the hotel, it is a 55-minute drive to Rhodes International Airport, and an hour to the port in the city of Rhodes. 

Rooms are spacious and appealing, with a neutral design and a few light color accents creating a warm and peaceful environment. Studios accommodate two people with twin beds, and one-bedrooms have a sofa bed or extra twins for another one or two guests. Two-story villas have two bedrooms and can fit up to seven people. Full kitchens in every room include an oven with electric burners, a full refrigerator, microwave, and a kettle. They are stocked with the basics for meal prep. All rooms have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a safe (for a fee). Balconies or terraces are roomy and have a table and chairs. Bathrooms are clean, and done with black and gray mosaic tiling and a black granite counter. Most have shower/tub combos, though villas have two bathrooms -- one with a combo, and one with a separate tub and shower stall. Hairdryers are provided, as is free hand soap.

The on-site amenities here are limited, but suitable for those that don't require a gym or spa. The restaurant shares a large room with the pool bar, with service and seating inside and out on the patio by the pool. Guests enjoy the food, and find the free breakfast buffet particularly well-prepared. A small snack shop next to the bar offers bottled drinks and conveniences as well. 

The pool is big enough for the size of the hotel, with plenty of free loungers all around. Some are shaded under a structure, while others get full sun, as there are no umbrellas. There’s also a small wading pool off to one side. It’s a nice spot with a few palm trees and vegetation around the perimeter. Adjacent is a small playground and giant chessboard. There are also an outdoor billiards table, air hockey, and a tennis court for on-site diversions. Wi-Fi is free everywhere in the hotel.
