Uncover the Secret Paradise: White Olive Premium Lindos, Rhodes!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the shimmering turquoise waters and sun-drenched delights (and, let's be honest, the occasional minor hiccup) of Uncover the Secret Paradise: White Olive Premium Lindos, Rhodes! Prepare for a review so honest, it might blush. And yes, I've got the SEO in me, so prepare for a keyword bombardment! I'm talking Lindos hotels, Rhodes accommodation, luxury hotels Rhodes, best hotels Lindos, Greece hotels, accessible hotels Rhodes, White Olive Premium Lindos review, all-inclusive Rhodes, spa hotels Greece! You get the idea. Now, let's GO!
(Initial Impression - The "OMG!" Factor)
Pulling up? WOW. Seriously. This place looks the part. Picture postcard perfect. Cliffside views? Check. Sparkling pool reflecting the azure Aegean? Double check. The lobby? Airy, bright, and smelling faintly of… well, luxury. My first thought? "Okay, this is it. This is where I finally become that person who takes Instagram photos of their breakfast."
(Accessibility - The Real Deal)
Okay, real talk. Accessibility is HUGE for me (and it should be for everyone!). This is where places either shine or… well, they don't. I'm happy to report that White Olive Premium Lindos makes a strong effort. Wheelchair accessible areas are clearly marked, with ramps and elevators throughout. The elevator is a godsend - especially if you're a klutz like me and drop all your luggage in front of everyone. They have facilities for disabled guests (specific rooms, I believe, but double-check to make sure it fits your needs - it pays to be extra careful with this stuff!). Check-in/out [express] is a great touch for cutting down on time wasted waiting. And access is generally pretty good - the pathways are wide enough, and I didn't encounter any crazy cobblestone gauntlets. Airport transfer is smooth sailing too, making the whole arrival process a breeze. HOWEVER, (and there's always a "however," isn't there?) – some of the restaurants might present minor challenges (narrower spaces sometimes). Definitely call ahead and confirm specific requirements if you need it!
(Rooms - My Sanctuary/Home Base)
My room? Gorgeous. Soundproof rooms are a must - who wants to hear the incessant chatter of tourists (or worse, me trying to sing in the shower?)! Air conditioning that actually works? Praise be! Air conditioning in public area means you'll stay cool during the day. The extra long bed was a game-changer; I'm a restless sleeper, and I didn't accidentally kick anyone off the bed. They've got all the amenities – bathrobes, slippers, coffee/tea maker, free bottled water, a mini bar… Look, I tried to resist the mini bar. I really did. But sometimes, a late-night chocolate craving (or need for a quick gin and tonic after a long day) is unavoidable. The high floor gives you an epic view, and there's a window that opens for fresh air--very important!
(Cleanliness and Safety - The "Is It Safe?" Factor)
Okay, let's be real, with everything going on in the world, cleanliness and safety are paramount. White Olive Premium Lindos scores major points here. They're clearly taking things seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products everywhere. Daily disinfection in common areas. Staff are trained in safety protocol. I saw hand sanitizer stations all over the place, and the staff all wore masks. Plus they have a doctor/nurse on call, just if you do need it. They clearly have professional-grade sanitizing services in place. Rooms sanitized between stays is a huge plus, so you know everything will be fresh, and your stay will be secure, with smoke alarms and a smoke detector.
(Dining - The Feast or Famine Factor)
Listen, food is serious business. And, thankfully, White Olive Premium Lindos delivers. There are plenty of restaurants, a coffee shop, and a snack bar. The breakfast [buffet] is genuinely impressive – seriously, prepare to waddle out of there. Everything is there, from the usual suspect (Western breakfast) to the more exciting international treats. Okay, but I'd like to focus one amazing thing here- the Asian buffet! It was one of the best I've ever seen in Europe- fresh sushi, dim sum, and everything in between! Yes, I probably had too much. I may have eaten, like, three plates of sushi. Don't judge me! They also have alternative meal arrangement if you have any dietary restrictions, because the staff is ready to please. I'm a fan; I thought I'd seen it all!
A la carte in restaurant, bar, breakfast service, coffee/tea in restaurant, desserts in restaurant, happy hour, international cuisine in restaurant, poolside bar, room service [24-hour], salad in restaurant, soup in restaurant, vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant - you'll be eating good!
(Things to Do - The "Boredom? Never Heard Of Her" Factor)
Okay, let's be honest, I'm not one for sitting still. So, is there enough to keep me (and you!) entertained? HELL YES. They have the swimming pool [outdoor] is glorious, the pool with view is amazing, and there is the fitness center. Spa, spa/sauna, steamroom - all present and accounted for, if you wanna chill out, the massage services can soothe your sore body. The sauna is the perfect place to sweat away the previous night's indiscretions, and the body scrub is a fantastic way to shed that travel grime. Things to do are aplenty, and if you're a couple, then the couple's room is right up your alley.
(Services and Conveniences - The "They Thought of Everything!" Factor)
Honestly, I felt pampered! The concierge was super helpful with recommendations. The daily housekeeping kept my room pristine. The laundry service was a lifesaver when I spilled coffee all over my favourite shirt (it happens). They have a convenience store where you get your daily needs. The luggage storage helps with your luggage, the car park [free of charge] is very helpful, the car park [on-site] is also available. They even have, and I love this, facilities for disabled guests! This is a hotel that really gets it.
(Internet - The "Gotta Stay Connected" Factor)
Alright, internet is life (sadly). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it's actually decent – I could stream Netflix without constant buffering. They also have internet access – LAN, if you're old-school like that. Plus the Wi-Fi in public areas is there with the Internet services.
(For the Kids - The "Parenting Paradise?" Factor)
While I was solo on this trip, I saw families, and they looked pretty happy. They have babysitting service, they are family/child friendly, they have kids facilities, and a kids meal options. So yeah, looks like a solid choice for families.
(Overall Vibe - The "Would I Go Back?" Factor)
Okay, the honest truth? YES. Absolutely. White Olive Premium Lindos blends luxury with genuine warmth and efficiency. It's not perfect, but the staff is generally excellent. It's stylish, well-maintained, and offers a seriously relaxing experience. From the glorious views to the outstanding meals, every aspect of the hotel exudes a relaxing and pleasing vibe, and you'll want to stay there and do nothing!

Day 1: Arrival and the Holy Crap, It's Beautiful Factor
- 8:00 AM (ish) – Land at Rhodes Airport. Pray to the travel gods that my suitcase actually made it. (Side note: Anyone else have a weird luggage anxiety? Like, I check the bag, then I immediately picture it getting lost in a Bermuda Triangle of conveyor belts.)
- 8:45 AM – Taxi to White Olive. Okay, the drive is supposed to be scenic… I might be too busy internally screaming about traffic to notice.
- 9:45 AM – Check-in. Hope they have that promised welcome drink. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I need a strong cocktail after the flight.
- 10:00 AM – ROOM! Okay, here's the moment of truth, the first impression that can make a place feel like heaven or hell. I've been obsessed with white rooms with a view, and I'm prepared to go bananas.
- 10:30 AM – The Pool Zone. This is where it gets real. First, the sun… second, the infinity pool view. I swear, I almost cried. It's beautiful. Seriously, I could just stay there and… wait… maybe I will just stay there.
- 11:30 AM – Poolside drinks and snacks. Okay, okay, maybe several drinks. That "light lunch" menu? My stomach might beg to differ. Expect me to order everything, then regret it.
- 2:00 PM – Nap time. The sun is the enemy… and my eyelids are calling.
- 4:00 PM – Stroll into Lindos Town. This is the moment I've been waiting for. I mean, Instagram is one thing, but seeing Lindos in person? I have high hopes. That acropolis climb is supposed to be a killer though. Pray for my calves.
- 5:00 PM – Lost in Lindos. Wandering the labyrinthine streets - this is where I'll get lost, and it's fine. I will get lost, I'll take photos, and I'll end up in a taverna somewhere, totally covered in delicious food.
- 6:30 PM – Acropolis of Lindos. The climb is brutal. But the view? Worth it. I mean, you'll be sweating like a pig, but the history and that panorama… Ugh, seriously, just go. Bring water. And maybe a medic, just in case.
- 8:00 PM – Dinner at a restaurant in Lindos. The menu is going to be difficult. But I will probably eat all the seafood. Expect copious amounts of wine. And maybe some emotional breakdowns.
- 9:30 PM – Lindos by night. Okay, the magic starts here. The twinkling lights, the gentle breeze… total romance overload. Bring your camera. You can't not Instagram this location.
- 10:30 PM – Back to the hotel. Crawl into bed, mentally relive the day, and dream of more delicious food. God, I hope I don’t regret that second bottle of wine.
Day 2: Beach Bliss and Overcoming My Fear of Sea Urchins (Maybe)
- 9:00 AM (ish) – Breakfast. The buffet is my nemesis. I will consume everything, then probably feel incredibly guilty.
- 10:00 AM – Beach Day! The beach at White Olive looks unreal.
- 10:30 AM – Beach chilling, sunbathing, the whole shebang. Hopefully, I don’t forget sunscreen. My skin is very pale.
- 12:00 PM – Beachside lunch! Expect a Greek salad, the most delicious thing on Earth.
- 2:00 PM – Swimming time. The water is supposed to be crystal clear. Okay, I have a confession: I’m terrified of the ocean. Sand, waves, that feeling of not touching the bottom… It’s a whole thing. But… I'll try.
- 3:00 PM – Okay, so I went swimming. It was beautiful. But I'm pretty sure I saw something move under the water – a fish, a seaweed? – and nearly had a heart attack. Seriously, I’m still shaking.
- 4:00 PM – Back to the pool? Sure. Need to calm down.
- 5:00 PM – Sea urchin mission. Okay, this is stupid, I know. But I've read about it and now I'm obsessed: I kind of want to try sea urchin. Wish me luck. I will probably regret this.
- 6:30 PM – Sunset cocktails. Seriously, this is a must-do on any Greek trip. The sunset views from White Olive are supposed to be Instagram-worthy.
- 8:00 PM – Dinner at a restaurant. If I am not in a taverna, I probably want to just sit and enjoy myself.
- 9:00 PM – Lindos by night. I will walk around, and take photos. I love the way the lights look at night.
- 10:00 PM – Back to the hotel for bed. And if I’m lucky, I might find a late night snack.
Day 3: Exploring and Existential Crises
- 9:00 AM (ish) – Breakfast. More buffet, more guilt. But the pastries! Need to try them all.
- 10:00 AM – Time to explore. Maybe a day trip? Maybe I'll rent a car and go to the other side of the island.
- 11:00 AM – The plan has changed. I'm going to explore Lindos. I'll go to a beach, walk around, and have fun.
- 1:00 PM – Lunch. I'm going to eat so much food.
- 2:00 PM – Take a nap. Just a little one.
- 4:00 PM – Some shopping! Let's indulge.
- 6:00 PM – Sundowners. Going to the beach to watch the sunset.
- 7:00 PM – One last dinner, one last meal.
- 8:00 PM – Time to pack.
- 9:00 PM – Time to bed.
- 10:00 PM – Time to wake up, because I have to head to the airport.
Day 4: Departure and Goodbye (Or, Until Next Time…)
- 6:00 AM – Wake up. Pack up and head to the airport.
- 7:00 AM – Check out of hotel
- 8:00 AM – Taxi to Rhodes Airport.
- 9:00 AM – Check-in, deal with luggage anxiety (again!), and mentally prepare for the flight home.
- …And Then… Reflect on the time spent in Lindos, the beach, the food, the people.
- …And Then… Start planning the next trip. Because let's be honest…Greece is calling.
Okay, spill. Is White Olive Premium Lindos *really* as dreamy as the photos? Because, let's be honest, Instagram lies.
The food! Tell me everything. I'm a hungry traveler.
Rooms! What are they like? (And are the beds comfy?)
Proximity to Lindos Town - walkable? How do I get around?
And the pool! Is it as crowded as it looks in those online videos? And what about the beach?
Service. How's the service? This can make or break a holiday for me.
Any tips for getting the most out of the experience? Hidden gems? Don'ts? Whispering secrets?
- Embrace the randomness. Things won't always go perfectly. That's part of the fun.
- Book a massage. Seriously. You deserve it.
- Explore Lindos. Don't just stay in the hotel. Get out there!
- Learn a few Greek phrases. It shows respect and makes the experience more authentic.
- Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. If something isn't right, speak up. Politely, of course.
- DO NOT, under any circumstances, try to sunbathe without sunscreen. Believe me.
- Hidden gem: The tiny church on the cliff overlooking Lindos. It's stunning.
- Don't drink too much of that fruity cocktail. (I'm looking at you, future me).
- Whispering secret: The view from the top of the Acropolis at sunset… if you can handle the heat. (Consider leaving early).
Would you go back? (And WHY?!)
