First of all, a note about the host, Giorgio’s. He’s awesome! He was so diligent and thorough with his help and responses to my queries before and during my stay at Hotel Thomas. His English is really good too, so communication is easy. I certainly take my hat off to him for such great services even though he has a two-month-old baby.
Next, the hotel has a great energy. The way only way I can describe it is like a luxury hostel, if that makes sense. Check in, check out, and everything in between is so relaxed. I honestly think the hotel is a little overpriced, but for the whole experience, well worth the money. The location and view from the rooms and communal area are sublime. The highlight of my holiday was sitting on my room terrace and drinking a coffee whilst watching the sunrise.
Lastly, Monolithos! Wow! I don’t know what it is about this place. Because Hotel Thomas was fully-booked when I wanted to stay longer, I found another room in the same village. If you’re planning on coming to Rhodes, hire a car and come here. A true experience of rural Greece.
Nuff said!
