Nana Princess is truly an exceptional hotel and easily one of the best we have ever stayed at. From the moment you arrive, you can see how much thought has gone into every detail. The hotel, which opened in 2018, is beautifully designed in a modern and elegant style, with the sea visible from almost everywhere you go. Despite being several years old, everything is extremely well maintained and still feels fresh and immaculate. What really makes the difference, however, is all the staff and especially Christina. Everyone we met was genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming, and the level of service throughout our stay was outstanding. We had dinner twice at Eternal Blue, just a few meters from the sea. It is a wonderful setting, especially in the evening, and both the food and service were excellent. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared and delicious. The hotel’s other restaurant is more focused on meat dishes. The spa is also well worth visiting. We had excellent treatments, and the spa itself is impressive, with several different saunas, special experience showers and an indoor pool. The hotel also has two beautiful outdoor pools. Nana Princess is definitely not a cheap hotel, but sometimes you leave a hotel feeling that the experience justified the price. This was absolutely the case here. Worth every euro. We loved our stay and would happily return.

We love this resort. This year was our fourth visit and our first without our children. We only spent 3 nights but it was all so familiar and relaxed it felt like a week! The staff are so lovely they look after you so well whether it's at breakfast, by the pool, lunching or having an evening meal in either of their two fabulous restaurants. And to top it all, we were upgraded to one of their incredible villas!! We will definitely return. Loved it all.

An absolute gem – the best hotel in the Greek islands! Having stayed at Nana Princess several times now, I can confidently say that it never ceases to amaze me. Every single visit somehow manages to exceed my expectations.The architecture of the property is absolutely stunning, blending beautifully with the surroundings, and the cleanliness throughout the entire hotel is flawless. As for the food—everything we tried was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. However, what truly sets this place apart is the incredible staff. The entire team constantly goes the extra mile to make your stay unforgettable. For instance, they went completely above and beyond by arranging a beautiful surprise gift for my parents' anniversary, a gesture that meant the world to us and showed just how much they genuinely care about their guests. This is hands down the best hotel in the Greek islands. I am already counting the days until my next visit and cannot wait to come back!

Nana Princess made our honeymoon even more beautiful and unforgettable. The resort itself is absolutely stunning, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the incredible hospitality. I honestly cannot single out one staff member because every single person, without exception, was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive. Their level of service and genuine care was beyond words. Nana Princess was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our honeymoon, and we are already looking forward to coming back again very soon. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and memorable experience. ❤️✨ Thank you, Nana Princess, for making our honeymoon so special!

There’s a whole water park next door

Nana Water Park is a water-lover’s haven located just next door at sister resort Nana Golden Beach, with complimentary access for Nana Princess guests. The Black Hole sends riders through twists and turns in the dark, the Space Bowl adds a spin to proceedings, and a multi-lane slide invites a little family competition. River rapids and splash pools keep the fun going, while smaller slides give toddlers their own place to join in. Hop on the complimentary inter-resort shuttle and enjoy the most effortless family or couples’ day out.

When it’s time to wind down, the Royal Wellness Club is on hand

Give yourself more than a treatment slot here. The onsite Royal Wellness Club has a Himalayan salt room, hammam, sauna and steam room, plus an ice chamber for a brisk change of pace. Book an indulgent massage, make your way through the extensive spa facilities and finish with a swim in the heated indoor pool – it’s the ideal treat for a romantic escape or for parents seeking some alone time.

I recently stayed at Amoh for a special occasion, and to say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The team went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated and valued even before we arrived, setting the tone for an unforgettable trip. The service here is truly next-level. A massive thank you to Vincenzo at the front desk for the warmest welcome, and Diane together with her colleague Marina at guest services for ensuring every detail of our stay was seamless. Breakfast was a highlight every single morning, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Eirini and Kristina—they were so attentive and lovely! As for the hotel itself: The Room: Absolutely lovely, beautifully designed, and immaculate. Breathtaking views to the sea and a private pool. Housekeeping: Incredible attention to detail. They noticed the little things and kept our room flawless. The Gym: Impeccable and modern, they even have a Tennis Court We had the absolute best time celebrating here. We are already planning our next visit and will be recommending Amoh to everyone we know. Thank you for making our trip so special!

A Perfect Week at Amoh Rhodes Our one-week stay at Amoh, a Luxury Collection Resort Rhodes, was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this is a truly special resort. The architecture and interior design are stunning, with an impressive level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a strong sense of place. As someone working in hospitality design, I especially appreciated the quality of the materials, finishes, and the thoughtful guest experience throughout the property. We were fortunate to be upgraded to a Selene Suite with a private pool, and it was one of the most beautiful and comfortable hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. The suite was spacious, elegant, and incredibly relaxing, while the terrace and private pool were generous in size and beautifully designed. Choosing each day between our private pool and the spectacular main pool was a genuine dilemma! Breakfast was another highlight. The selection of local specialties and international favorites was excellent, and the pastry selection was simply outstanding. A special thank you to Adam for his genuine warmth and friendliness, and to Mary at the coffee bar for preparing the perfect Greek coffee every morning. We also enjoyed dining at both Glaze and Kymata. Both restaurants combine beautiful design with excellent cuisine and attentive service. Our final lunch at Kymata was especially memorable thanks to Thanos, who invited us to an unexpected wine tasting and recommended both our dishes and a fantastic bottle of wine. Maria ensured every detail of our lunch was perfectly taken care of. The Luxury Collection's signature experiences added another dimension to our stay. We particularly enjoyed the Aperitivo Gathering, featuring a locally inspired gin cocktail, stories about Rhodes, and delicious local bites, as well as the olive and olive oil tasting. Diana, Marina, and Gina from Guest Services made these experiences engaging, informative, and genuinely enjoyable. A big thank you also goes to Dori from the Concierge team, who helped us plan a wonderful itinerary around Rhodes, arranged a rental car delivered directly to the hotel, and recommended fantastic restaurants and places to visit. Housekeeping was equally exceptional—efficient, discreet, and consistently delivered with a smile. Rhodes itself exceeded our expectations. From Anthony Quinn Bay and Seven Springs to the fascinating medieval Old Town, the island offers an incredible variety of experiences. We were also lucky to visit during the Biennale of Modern Ceramics, which was a wonderful surprise for anyone interested in art, craftsmanship, and design. Finally, our sincere thanks go to Charalambos, the General Manager, and the entire team for creating such a memorable stay. The genuine hospitality and attention to detail made all the difference. We left with wonderful memories and are already looking forward to returning. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We loved our stay at Amoh. We were travelling for our babymoon and all the whole experience was exactly what we wanted. Our room was sea view with a private pool – I would highly recommend as it was so relaxing, with amazing views and lovely comfortable day bed. We ate at the restaurants, with the lovely breakfast buffet that included an à la carte option for egg dishes- the avocado & poached eggs were delicious! The only thing you do need to check are which restaurants are open – during the day it’s more limited, which also may have been as it was off season (visited end of May). The pool is lovely to chill by, as is the beach which is lovely and sandy with plenty of loungers. I also visited the spa for a facial, they were fantastic, making it into a whole experience from when you walked through the door. My husband used the gym most days & I used the Pilates reformer studio, which you can book complimentary and use with their virtual training system. Overall I would 100% recommend, our whole trip was lovely!

Beautiful Property and Excellent Service We had a wonderful stay at AMOH, a Luxury Collection Resort, Rhodes. The property is absolutely beautiful — elegant, peaceful, and very well maintained. From the very first minute of our arrival, we felt genuinely welcomed. A very special thank you to Deria, the Manager, who was exceptionally professional, attentive, and truly customer-oriented. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and was extremely helpful throughout our entire stay, right up until the very last minute. This level of personal attention and genuine hospitality makes a real difference and turns a beautiful hotel into a memorable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you, Deria, and thank you to the entire AMOH team for making our time in Rhodes so special!

Kids have plenty beyond the slides

Aside from the thrills of the water park, at Nana Golden Beach, young guests can join a supervised mini-club with supervised activities, a shaded outdoor playground and even a mini disco. Back in your suite, small details make family travel easier: children’s toiletries and mini bathrobes are provided, while items such as a baby bath or high chair can be requested.

Couples can also find their bliss

A private-pool suite makes it tempting to spend the morning entirely on your terrace: order breakfast in, swim whenever you like and settle back into a lounger with the Cretan Sea in view. When you’re ready to leave the suite, choose one of two outdoor seawater pools or a shaded gazebo on the resort’s private sandy beach.

For time together at the Royal Wellness Club, book The Princess and The Prince in the private Anax & Anassa spa suite. The treatment includes use of the suite’s water facilities, followed by a body massage and hydrating facial. Afterwards, head out for a candle-lit dinner or have it brought to your terrace and keep the evening to yourselves.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The place was spotless — everything felt clean, fresh, and well cared for. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with a smile, whether it was giving directions, arranging transportation, or recommending local spots to visit. The location is just perfect — tucked slightly up in the hills, offering peaceful surroundings and lovely views, yet still close enough to walk or take a short drive to restaurants, shops, and the beach. It’s that ideal mix of quiet relaxation and easy access to everything you need. Overall, a wonderful stay. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend.

This was a lovely resort with details taken care of from start to finish. The hotel manager got in touch with me very soon after I made the booking to make sure that everything was prepared for our stay. This of course heightened our expectations and we were not disappointed. The location in the hills above the resort of Tsilivi was idyllic and our suite with its own private pool was well appointed and had stunning views across the Ionian Sea. Transport from our suit to the centre of the resort was on hand and the centre offered a wonderful restaurant and bar with great Greek cuisine in a setting which was friendly and picturesque. The staff were cheerful, polite and obviously liked working for the owners who were on hand and visible. In terms of value for money the price was excellent and the add on costs of transport from the airport, car hire and excursions were all dealt with by the friendly front desk staff.

The hotel was immaculate. Extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Three course meals and the food portions were very generous. Highly recommended

Dining is equally well catered to

Start each day with a plentiful buffet at Carpe Diem, served with a side of sea views. At poolside Meat-In Point, lunch means Greek meze, while dinner brings grilled cuts and fresh pasta. Beachfront Eternal Blue specialises in Cretan seafood and freshly made sushi. Children’s menus are available at all three restaurants.

The drinks choices have just as much range: Breeze Pool Bar serves cocktails to your lounger, and Sea & Sand Beach Bar brings them to straight to your sunbed. At Artemis Lounge, take a seat on the sea-view terrace or browse the library’s collection of more than 1,000 books; evenings bring live piano, saxophone or jazz. The lounge also has a shisha bar and a cigar humidor room stocked with Cuban and Greek cigars.
