Rhodes Escape: Adults-Only Luxury at Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa
Rhodes Escape: Adults-Only Luxury at Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the luxurious, sun-kissed world of Rhodes Escape: Adults-Only Luxury at Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa. This isn't going to be your average, sterile review. This is going to be raw, unfiltered, and probably a little bit obsessed. Let's get messy!
First off, accessibility. I have to be honest, I'm not personally wheelchair-bound, but this is a huge deal for a LOT of people, and I always try to be respectful. The listing does include "Facilities for disabled guests" which is a good start, but where and how is always the million-dollar question, and let's face it, the details on specific access points feel thin; I'd be calling the hotel directly to confirm the elevators, ramp access, and accessible everything before booking. I can’t give you a thumbs up or down right now (as an outsider), only that you should check it out.
Now, let's get to the good stuff. The stuff that makes you drool a little. The Swimming Pool. Oh, sweet lord, the pool! They have both a standard swimming pool and a pool with a view. Let's be real, the one with the view probably makes you feel like you’re floating in a postcard. And me? I'd be in the pool. ALL. DAY. LONG. Drinking something fruity, maybe a little umbrella sticking out. God, the water must be crystal clear. And the thought of the sun warming up my skin after a dip? Chef's kiss.
And the Spa… Oh, the spa! They've got the whole shebang: Sauna, Steamroom, Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap. I mean, just imagine: you've spent the morning lounging by this amazing pool, soaking up the sun, and then… BAM! You're whisked away to pure bliss. I can already smell the eucalyptus. I can feel the tension melting from my shoulders. I'm already half-asleep, dreaming of a full-body massage that leaves me feeling like a completely new person. Seriously, someone get me a plane ticket. And if they have a Pool with view, you just know the Gym/fitness area will be a thing of beauty too, with stunning views to make that treadmill session a little less painful.
Cleanliness and Safety: This is crucial. I am obsessed with cleanliness, especially now. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays… yes, yes, and yes! Hand sanitizer is a must, of course, and they are apparently keeping a good distance between people with Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. The listing also mentions Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items . I just assume the staff is Trained in safety protocol and that they are using Professional-grade sanitizing services. This is what I want to hear! And the fact that they offer Room sanitization opt-out shows they are considerate of guests. Makes me feel like I might actually be safe leaving my apartment. The Cashless payment service is a welcome bonus too.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Okay, this is where I really get fired up. They've got Restaurants (plural!), a Poolside bar (hello, happy hour!), and a Coffee shop. A la carte in restaurant means you can eat what you desire! Asian cuisine in restaurant and International cuisine in restaurant means variety is the spice of life! You know, no more boring hotel buffets for this girl! Breakfast [buffet] sounds good, but the listing also has Breakfast in room and Breakfast takeaway service, which is a godsend if you just want to sleep in at the end of the day. And the Desserts in restaurant, and Salad in restaurant are perfect, if you are a foodie! Bottle of water and Coffee/tea in restaurant are a bonus.
Services and Conveniences: Air conditioning in public area is a must in Greece! Concierge, Doorman, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service… They have the essentials! Currency exchange is good to have. And as for Business facilities, I personally don't work on vacations, but I do love the idea of Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! I also like Facilities for disabled guests.
For the Kids: This is an ADULTS-ONLY hotel! No, sorry kids.
Available in all rooms: The Wi-Fi [free] is the biggest win. Air conditioning is the best. Blackout curtains are essential for a good night's sleep. Coffee/tea maker is my jam. Hair dryer is a must. In-room safe box is good to have. Mini bar is a great addition. Private bathroom is nice. Shower is good. Smoke detector is a must. Soundproofing is essential. Toiletries is nice. Wake-up service is a bonus. And the Window that opens is important to me!
Getting around: Airport transfer is a must for relaxing arrival. Car park [free of charge] is a bonus.
Okay, let's get to the pitch.

Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa: My Chaotic Rhodes Romp (aka, Where Did I Leave My Sunscreen?)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Balcony Debacle
- Morning (ish): Flight from [Your Departure City] – well, let's be honest, it felt more like a cattle car situation. Crushed between a snorer and a fidgety toddler. Made me question all life choices leading up to that moment. Finally, Rhodes! The airport was a glorious, slightly chaotic mess. Found my transfer (eventually, after a brief panic attack thinking I'd been forgotten).
- Afternoon: Arrived at Ammades. Oh. My. God. The lobby? Gorgeous. The sea view I'd envisioned? Definitely there. Check-in was… slightly agonizing while I waited for a slow receptionist, took forever. Then, the room. The room! Massive. Luxurious. That balcony… epic. My first thought? "This is where I'm going to lose my sunglasses." (Spoiler alert: I was right.)
- The Great Balcony Debacle: The balcony was so perfect, so breezy, I immediately attempted to have a dramatic, windswept moment. Cue me dropping my phone trying to take a selfie (screen shattered, a harbinger of things to come). Lesson learned: don't be dramatic, especially when there's wind.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Explored the hotel a bit. Found the pool – crystal clear, beckoning. But, you know, jet lag. So instead, collapsed on the bed, ordered room service (Greek salad, naturally), and promptly fell asleep, missing sunset completely. Rookie mistake.
- Dinner: At the hotel restaurant. The food was good, definitely not mind-blowing, but the service was friendly and slightly bewildered by my attempts to order in Greek (I'm a terrible student). The wine, however, was sublime. Started to feel human again.
Day 2: Beach Bliss (and a Near-Drowning Experience)
- Morning: Woke up with a general feeling of blissful, sun-kissed regret that I'd missed the sunset. Hit the hotel's beach. Pure, unadulterated heaven. Loungers were comfy, the sea was a breathtaking turquoise, and the only noise was the gentle lapping of waves. Spent a good three hours doing absolutely nothing, which is basically all I wanted from this trip.
- The Almost Drowning of 2024: Decided to be adventurous and go for a swim. Waves? Stronger than they looked. Me? Let's just say I overestimated my swimming abilities. Got caught in a rip current and nearly choked on seawater. (Panic levels: high.) Managed to thrash my way back to shore, gasping for air and vowing never to go near the ocean again. Okay fine, I'll go back in… eventually.
- Afternoon: Back at the pool. Safely. Ordered a cocktail – a strong cocktail – and vowed to spend the rest of the day horizontal. Worked.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Finally made it to the sunset. Found a prime spot. Sat on an uncomfortable rock, which I was totally fine with because the sunset was seriously worth it. The sky was a riot of color. Took a million photos (most of which are probably blurry). Dinner at a charming local taverna (I dragged myself from the hotel for this!). Seriously, the Moussaka? To die for. Ate way too much. Again. Fell asleep on a beach chair waiting for food, which was not a good look.
Day 3: Spa Serenity (and a Very Awkward Massage Experience)
- Morning: Spa day! Booked a massage. Needed it after the near-drowning experience and all that sunbathing. The spa itself was stunning. Peaceful. Aromatherapy everywhere.
- The Very Awkward Massage Experience: The massage itself? Less serene, more… interesting. My masseuse, bless her heart, was a sweet lady who clearly understood the importance of a good oil rub. However, she also seemed to have a habit of whispering, which made me jump every five seconds. At one point, I swore she was humming a sea shanty. The massage wasn't bad, but I could not stop laughing internally. It was glorious and awkward all at once.
- Afternoon: Lounged by the pool again. Didn't swim. Ate ice cream. Read a book. Life was good. Seriously. So good.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Exploration time! Hired a car and explored the old town of Rhodes. Absolutely beautiful. Overwhelmed by history. Got lost. Found a tiny shop that sold amazing handmade pottery. Bought a vase. It barely survived the flight home (sorry, vase). Drinks and dinner at a restaurant with an amazing view. More wine. This is a trend.
Day 4: Island Hopping and Melancholy Reflections
- Morning: A boat trip to another island and the small town of Lindos. The boat ride was a bit rocky, and I got seasick. The island was beautiful, white sand, clear water, but, you know, the seasickness kind of dampened the mood.
- Afternoon: Back from the island, the sun was getting too intense, so I spent the afternoon inside, drinking iced coffee on the balcony. It felt like I was alone in my own personal paradise.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Packing up the luggage, it struck me that I was leaving tomorrow. Looking back at the trip, it was a mix of breathtaking beauty and comical mishaps. It's funny how quickly the days disappear, and how we romanticize them.
Day 5: Departure and the Realization that I Needed More Sunscreen
- Morning: Last breakfast. Said goodbye to the amazing staff. My tans were great. The hair was amazing. My bank account was not complaining.
- Afternoon: Headed back to the airport. Sigh.
- Evening: Arrived home and realized I missed that place and the people so much. I was already feeling the urge to go back.
Final Thoughts (aka, What I Learned)
- Rhodes is stunning. Truly.
- Ammades is a fantastic hotel. But, maybe bring your own masseuse.
- Invest in better sunscreen. Seriously.
- Embrace the chaos. It's part of the adventure.
- And most importantly, always order the Moussaka.
- I'm already planning my return trip. See you soon, Rhodes. (And someone, please remind me to pack a better phone screen protector.)
Now, go forth and have your own messy, wonderful Rhodes adventure!

Rhodes Escape: Ammades All Suites - The Real Deal FAQ (Because Let's Be Honest)
Okay, Spill. Is Ammades *Really* Adults-Only Luxury, Or Just Another Instagram Trap?
Alright, fine, here's the dirt. I'll be transparent. Look, the pictures are gorgeous. Like, *stunning*. And yes, it's adults-only, which, let's face it, is a HUGE selling point for sanity-seeking travelers. But is it TRULY luxurious? Hmm. Depends on your definition of luxury. For me? Yes. For my husband, who expects Michelin-star meals every night? Maybe not.
The suites? Spacious. Seriously, I could have staged a small dance recital in ours (and almost did, fueled by too much rosé). The balconies? They scream "relax and watch the sunset with a smug smile." The service? Mostly fantastic. There was that one time, though, when we waited an hour for room service. And when it arrived? Lukewarm. Minor hiccup, but it's... *human*. They fixed it immediately, mind you, but it's not the flawless, perfect-bubble experience you see in those heavily filtered influencer posts.
Bottom line: It's genuinely lovely. The lack of screaming toddlers alone deserves a medal. But it's not a sci-fi hotel where everything is perfectly programmed. Embrace the imperfections. They make for better stories, anyway. And the sunsets? Unforgettable. Absolutely, utterly, breathtakingly unforgettable. Even if the room service is a little slow.
What's the Deal with the Beach? Is it Actually 'Sandy Paradise' or Just a Bunch of Rocks and Disappointment? (Asking for a Friend... It's Me.)
Okay, the beach. Let's dissect this. The pictures make it look like you're landing on a beach from a Bounty commercial, right? Golden sand, crystal-clear water, beach volleyball tournaments (I made that up). Nope. Not quite.
The beach is... a beautiful mix. Some sand. Some pebbles. Definitely some bigger rocks at the water's edge. I'm not gonna lie, the first time I walked in, I yelped. "OW! WHAT IS THAT?!" My husband, bless his heart, just laughed. So, pack water shoes. Seriously. Do it. Trust me. You'll thank me later.
But! (There's a but!) The water is ridiculously clear. Like, you can see the fish swimming around your ankles clear. And the beach itself? It's clean. The sunbeds are comfy. The bar *is* on the beach, so you can sip your cocktails while wiggling your toes. So, it's not perfect, idyllic, 'Bounty commercial' perfection. But the beauty, the vibe, and that incredibly clear water more than make up for the slight pebble-y awkwardness at the entrance. Plus, the views from your sunbed? Absolutely divine. See the world, appreciate it, and protect it. That's what I'd say, anyway.
The Food! Is it just another bland hotel buffet, or does it actually *taste* good? (Because I can't live on breadsticks and disappointment.)
Ah, the food. The most crucial element of any holiday, in my humble opinion. So. The breakfast buffet... well, it's a buffet. It has all the usual suspects: eggs (cooked to order, thankfully), pastries (some good, some... less good), fruit, yogurt, etc. It's not *terrible*. You won't starve. But it's also not going to win any culinary awards.
Dinner, though… that's where things get interesting. There are a few restaurants on-site. The a la carte options are, in my experience, generally pretty good. We had some *amazing* grilled octopus one night. Seriously, I have dreams about it. Other nights were a bit more... hit or miss. One restaurant's service was a bit slow - and after a long travel and warm water-shoes experience, you're *really* hungry after some time in the sun. That, and the wine selection, while decent, wasn't exactly mind-blowing for a wine snob. However, the views from the restaurants are incredible, especially at sunset. Sitting there, watching the colors in the sky explode while eating delicious food? Priceless. But that service, and the need to ask for the bill a few times... there *was* a slight grumble from my other half, but it was soon forgotten with a dessert.
Overall? The food is definitely better than average for a hotel. Expect some truly great meals, some good ones, and a few that are just okay. Go with realistic expectations, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Oh, and one more thing: they have a fantastic selection of local olive oils. Like, seriously, buy some to take home. Trust me.
Okay, Let's Talk Spa. Is the Ammades Spa Worth the Hype (and the Price Tag)? Or Just Another Tourist Trap with Fancy Oils?
The spa... ah, the spa. This is where things got a little... complicated. On the surface, it's everything you'd expect from a luxury spa: serene setting, soothing music, fluffy robes, and the promise of total relaxation. But here's the truth... I'm not always great at relaxing.
I should preface this by saying the massage itself was *divine*. The therapist was incredibly skilled, her hands worked magic, and I walked out feeling like a limp noodle in the best way possible. But the whole experience… There was a mix-up with my appointment time, which led to a bit of a scramble. No big deal, really, but it did slightly throw off the vibe. And honestly? I always feel a bit awkward in spas. Do I make small talk? Do I stay deathly silent? Am I *supposed* to be relaxed? I’m a worrier. A planner. A overthinker.
So, worth it? Yes, ultimately. The quality of the massage alone made the price tag justifiable. But if you're like me, a little awkward and prone to overthinking, just embrace it. Focus on the blissful feeling of the massage itself. Don't get hung up on the small imperfections. And maybe avoid eye contact with the other spa-goers. Just relax. (Easier said than done, I know!).
Is There Anything to Do Besides Eat, Drink, and Sunbathe... Or is that *all* there is? Because, you know, boredom.
Alright, so you're worried you'll succumb to the dreaded holiday boredom, huh? Fair enough. While Ammades is undeniably a place to relax and recharge, you *can* actually do things other than consume delicious food and soak up the sun. (Shocking, I know!).
The hotel itself offers a few activities. There's a gym (I glanced at it once). They have yoga classes (I didn't go, but I heard good things). And then, of course, there's the beach. You can swim, snorkel, and generally frolic in the crystal-clear water.
But the real fun? Exploring Rhodes! The hotel is located near the charming town of Faliraki, which hasFindelicious Hotels
