Princess Andriana Resort & Spa
Princess Andriana Resort & Spa is a five-star ultra all-inclusive at Kiotari, on the quieter southeast coast of Rhodes in Greece, part of the Greek H Hotels Collection. Families come for a waterpark that opened for the 2025 season with a baby and toddler end, ten places to eat with à la carte dinners across the week and a Blue Flag beach a short walk down towards the sea, all folded into one price.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who it suits, what's in the price and the facts to skim first.
Princess Andriana is a five-star ultra all-inclusive at Kiotari, on the quieter southeast coast of Rhodes, run as part of the Greek H Hotels Collection. It suits a family who wants a big new waterpark with slides for older children and a separate splash-and-paddle end for babies and toddlers, plenty of restaurant choice across ten venues and one all-inclusive price. Meals, drinks, the waterpark and the Mini Club are all in that price. Childcare is the Mini Club from age four rather than a baby crèche, so with an under-four the day is hands-on.
The thing to weigh is the walk of a few hundred metres down to the beach, and two points guests flag: an evening entertainment programme that some families find carries to the rooms at bedtime, and a main pool one guest found too deep for a small child to stand in. It is sold by most of the big UK operators, so it is easy to price up against other Rhodes resorts.
Best for
You want a big new waterpark with a baby and toddler end, ten places to eat from the main buffet to evening à la carte and an all-inclusive price on the quieter southeast coast.
Maybe not for
You want to step straight onto the sand, or what some guests flag would put you off: a main pool one guest found deep for a small child, or lively evening entertainment near the pool at bedtime.
Best ages
Babies upwards for the waterpark's splash-and-paddle end; the Mini Club runs from four to twelve.
What stands out
The Aqua Princess waterpark, new for 2025, with a zero-depth splash zone and a 40cm baby pool alongside the big slides.
What to check
The cot policy for your room type and how far the beach really is.
Where is it?
Kiotari on the southeast coast of Rhodes, around an hour from Rhodes airport, 15km from Lindos.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
Where it sits, how the site is laid out and how you get around it and out of it.
Princess Andriana sits at Kiotari, on the southeast coast of Rhodes, along a long stretch of blue-flag coastline about 15km from the clifftop town of Lindos and 60km from Rhodes Town in the north. It opened in the early 2010s and has 537 rooms and suites across nine buildings: a main building holds the Deluxe rooms and the larger suites, and lower, bungalow-style buildings hold the Family Rooms and the ground-floor suites with their shared and private pools. The main freshwater pool sits at the centre, and the newer Aqua Princess waterpark and the pools at that end are where much of the family day happens. The beach is a short way down towards the sea.
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by noon. Getting around off-site is straightforward. There is a bus stop within about 200m on the daily local route, the front desk arranges taxis and a George Cars rental desk operates from the lobby if you want a car for a day out. There is a botanical garden on site near the children's playground and games room, a green corner away from the pools. In the evening the resort runs a music and water fountain show at its heart, a light-and-water display set to music rather than a water-play feature for children. For the wider island, its beaches and when to go, see our Rhodes guide.
Every restaurant and bar
The buffet, the à la carte venues, how the free dinners work and where the one supplement falls.
The board is ultra all-inclusive, running daily from 07:00 to midnight, with a wristband issued on arrival. Everyday meals are at the Medallion buffet, and there is a spread of à la carte and themed restaurants on top. Soft drinks, draught beer and international spirits are included, bottled wine comes with lunch and dinner and the minibar is refilled daily. If you're leaving before Medallion's normal breakfast hours, an early breakfast can be arranged on request, booked at reception at least two days ahead.
| Venue | Type | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Medallion | Main buffet, included | Greek and international, with a themed evening buffet three times a week and a certified Greek breakfast. Breakfast 07:00–10:30, lunch 12:30–14:30, dinner 18:30–21:30 and a late snack 22:30–24:00, with soft drinks, draught beer and local wine included at meals. No booking, so it is the no-reservation fallback with young children. |
| Rozu | À la carte | Nikkei, a mix of Japanese and Peruvian cooking. Dinner only, 18:15–22:00, six nights a week, booked on the app, smart casual. |
| Pardesi | À la carte | Indian. Dinner only, 18:15–22:00, six nights a week, booked on the app, smart casual. |
| Moonlight | À la carte | Mediterranean with a curated wine list, in a lounge setting. Dinner only, booked ahead. |
| Amare | All day, then Italian à la carte | Light meals and snacks by day, 10:00–17:00 with lunch service from 12:30, becoming an à la carte Italian restaurant in the evening, 18:30–21:30. Dinner booked on the app. |
| Balsero | Buffet, à la carte evenings | Tex-Mex, with tacos, ribs and burgers. Evenings only, 19:30–22:00, six nights a week, booked on the app. |
| Coral Snack Bar & Restaurant | Beach buffet | On the beach, a buffet plus light meals, salads and fruit through the day, so lunch does not mean leaving the sand. |
| Coral BBQ | À la carte, extra charge | Greek Antikristo barbecue and grilled seafood near the beach. The one dinner venue outside the all-inclusive, with a supplement of €30 per person (last checked July 2026). |
| All Day Restaurant & Bar, waterpark | Buffet, included | Breakfast and lunch buffets beside the waterpark, so families can stay at that end. No alcohol served here. |
| Gelateria | Ice cream, included | Handmade ice cream and sorbet through the day. |
The four bars run through the day and into the night. The Royal Main Bar is the lobby cocktail bar, open 09:00 to 01:00; the Moonlight Bar is a lounge-style bar with signature cocktails in the evening; the Fresh Pool Bar serves the poolside from 10:00 to 01:00; and the Aqua Bar sits inside the waterpark for drinks and snacks between slides during the day, open 10:00 to 17:30.
Special diets are catered for, with low-fat, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options, and you flag any allergies to the restaurant manager in advance at each à la carte venue. A dress code applies at dinner across the restaurants: smart casual, with no swimwear or sportswear.
How the free à la carte dinners work
The à la carte dinners are included as a set allowance that grows with how long you stay, rather than being open every night. A stay of 4 to 11 nights includes four dinners: one each at Moonlight, Amare Italian and Balsero, plus one at either Pardesi or Rozu. A 12 to 17 night stay includes seven, which is two each at those first three plus one at Pardesi or Rozu. An 18 to 24 night stay includes nine, adding a second visit to Pardesi so only Rozu stays at one. You book these through the H Hotels app or at reception once you have checked in, around three days ahead. One recent guest trying to book the day after arrival could only get a table at Balsero, the Tex-Mex restaurant, so it pays to reserve your dinners as soon as your wristband is on. Coral BBQ is the exception to all of this: it sits outside the all-inclusive with a €30 per person supplement. Buggy hire, room service, laundry, spa treatments, high-speed internet and external phone calls are also charged on top.
Rooms and suites
Every category with its official size, whom it sleeps and which take a cot for a baby.
There are thirteen room and suite categories, from a 27 m² Deluxe room up to a 59 m² Executive Suite. The table below is the full line-up with the official sizes and occupancy; the guidance after it is which suit a family with a baby or toddler. The cot column matters most: whether a cot can be added on top of the stated maximum occupancy varies by room type, so it is worth reading before you book.
| Room | Size | Sleeps | Cot on top of occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Room Garden View | 28 m² | 1–3 | No |
| Deluxe Room Pool View | 28 m² | 1–3 | No |
| Deluxe Room Side Sea View | 28 m² | 1–3 | No |
| Deluxe Room Sea View | 29 m² | 1–3 | No |
| Deluxe Room with Private Pool | 27 m² | 1–3 | No (an infant is counted within the occupancy) |
| Family Room with Balcony | 41 m² | 1–4 | Yes |
| Family Room with Sharing Pool | 41 m² | 1–4 | Yes |
| Junior Suite Garden View | 37 m² | 1–4 | No |
| Junior Suite Sea View | 41 m² | 1–4 | Yes |
| Junior Suite Sharing Pool Sea View | 41 m² | 1–4 | Yes |
| Junior Suite with Private Pool | 37 m² | 1–4 | No |
| Superior Suite | 46 m² | 1–3 | No |
| Executive Suite Sea View | 59 m² | 1–4 | Yes |
If you have a baby who needs a cot, the categories that allow one on top of the stated occupancy are the Family Room with Balcony, the Family Room with Sharing Pool, the Junior Suite Sea View, the Junior Suite Sharing Pool Sea View and the Executive Suite Sea View. The Deluxe rooms, the Junior Suite Garden View, the Junior Suite with Private Pool and the Superior Suite do not, so a couple with a baby would need to fit within the standard occupancy rather than add a cot as an extra. The Deluxe Room with Private Pool is the one Deluxe to count an infant within its occupancy, though it still cannot take a cot on top.
Two features are worth understanding before you choose. The Family Rooms and the sharing-pool suites have a sliding-door divider between a parents' sleeping area and a children's sofa-bed area, which is more private than beds in one open space. The word "pool" in a room name means two different things: a "sharing pool" room, on the ground floor, opens onto a large freshwater pool shared between several rooms, each with its own gated entrance, whereas a "private pool" room has a private 18 m² pool of its own, with a 13 m² terrace on the Deluxe version and a 17 m² terrace on the Junior Suite version. Only the Deluxe Room with Private Pool and the Junior Suite with Private Pool have that private pool; the sharing-pool rooms do not. Some rooms also offer a swim-up option onto a shared or private pool. The ground-floor sharing-pool rooms are the easiest for buggy access to the room itself.
Four of the room types have details worth knowing beyond size and occupancy. The Junior Suite Garden View (37 m², with a 9 m² balcony) is an open-plan room on the first floor of a bungalow near the beach and does not take a cot on top of its stated occupancy. The Junior Suite with Private Pool (37 m², 17 m² terrace) sits in the quietest part of the resort, away from the public areas, also open-plan and also without a cot on top. The Superior Suite (46 m², 14 m² balcony) has a jacuzzi bathtub, a king bed and an espresso machine, again with no cot on top. The Executive Suite Sea View (59 m², 20 m² balcony), in the main building, is the only one of these four to allow a cot on top of its occupancy, and is also the roomiest, with two bathrooms (one with a jacuzzi), a king-size canopy bed and an espresso machine.
The pools
The main and children's pools, the new waterpark end and the Blue Flag beach below.
The main pool is a large freshwater pool at the centre of the resort, open 10:00 to 18:00. There is a separate children's pool next to it, which is the shallow option for a toddler. That matters here because one guest reports the main pool is deep along its whole length with no shallow end, so a child under about 1.40m can't stand in it; for a small child, plan around the children's pool rather than the main one. Inside the Euphoria Spa there is an indoor freshwater pool, but it carries the spa's minimum age of 16, so under-16s can't use it. Sunbeds, umbrellas and pool towels are free with the all-inclusive, and towels are collected from the spa.
New for 2025The Aqua Princess waterpark
The Aqua Princess waterpark opened for the 2025 season and is free for hotel guests, open daily 10:00 to 17:30, with day access sold to non-residents too. It is set out as a clear age-banded progression from the youngest upwards. For the very young there are two features: a Spray Action Zone with zero depth, all water jets, cannons and splash features, for kids of all ages, and a lifeguarded Kids Animation Pool 40cm deep, for little ones up to two years old, with four playground-style slides shaped as a frog, an octopus, a ship and a snake.
For older children there are two towers. The Aqua Tower is the smaller, children's tower with four slides: Mini Pirate and Mini Spin have no stated age or height limit, while Magicon and Pirate Tube are for over-eights. The main Waterslides Tower has seven slides, including the Multislide, Freefall, Racer, Aquatube Single Route, Compact Slide and Blackhole, and is for guests over 1.2m tall and over eight years old. The resort's own FAQ separately states that children up to 1.2m are allowed in the waterpark, which reads more loosely than the tower's own over-1.2m rule, so treat the feature-by-feature limits above as the guide and check what is posted at the park on the day. The Aqua Bar sits inside the waterpark for drinks and snacks.
The beach
The beach is a short walk of a few hundred metres down towards the sea rather than the few steps the promotional copy claims. Some guests describe a pedestrian underpass that lets you reach it without crossing the coastal road, so ask at reception whether that is the easiest route. It is a secluded beach of sand and gravel, not pure sand, so water shoes help at the edge, and it holds a Blue Flag for water quality and facilities. Free sunbeds and umbrellas are laid out, and the Coral Snack Bar & Restaurant sits right on the sand for food without leaving the beach, with lifeguards on duty during the day. The water sports centre on the beach belongs to a third party unrelated to the hotel, so it is chargeable and sits outside the all-inclusive.
Babies and toddlers
The Mini Club and what surrounds it, the baby kit and the gaps for the under-fours.
The Mini Club takes children aged four to twelve, with trained multilingual staff, Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 17:30. It is included in the all-inclusive price. A child of three or four may be allowed in with a signed parental consent form, so ask guest relations to confirm it when you arrive. There is no dedicated baby crèche or under-fours childcare here, so with a baby the days are hands-on. In the evening there is a children's mini disco at the open-air amphitheatre, which guests single out by name, and there is a children's playground near the club and the botanical garden, with a playroom listed among the facilities.
For the practical baby kit, high chairs are usually available in the dining areas, and baby food is available on request. Whether a cot can be added depends on the room type, as set out in the rooms table above. Buggy hire is available on site but is not part of the all-inclusive, so a family travelling light should expect to pay for it. There is a doctor on call around the clock on request, charged for. One thing a family with a very young child flags is the volume of the evening pool entertainment at bedtime, which is worth weighing if you have a baby settling early. The spa is 16 and over, so there is no baby or toddler spa access.
On resortThings to do
The all-inclusive sports are broad: two tennis courts, a five-a-side football pitch, darts, table tennis, boccia, water polo, beach volleyball, mini golf and archery, plus aerobics and water gymnastics classes. A padel court and the games room next to the Agora shop, open until midnight with electronic games, air hockey and billiards, both carry an extra charge rather than being free. Bike hire is available, and the beach water sports centre, run by a third party, offers water skiing, jet skiing, banana boat rides and parasailing for a fee. A daily animation programme runs morning games and sports and evening shows, quizzes, musicals and pool parties, with named fixtures like Greek Folklore and Saxophone Night and live bands. The shows are held at an open-air amphitheatre that seats 500, near the tennis courts and the football pitch, hosting musicals, variety shows and comedy karaoke as well as the children's mini disco.
The Euphoria Spa is on the ground floor next to the lobby, open 08:00 to 20:00, with a minimum age of 16. The sauna, steam room, whirlpool, air jet and indoor pool are free to use, with massages and body and face treatments charged on top. There is a hairdresser in the spa building and a gym, also 16 and over.
Off resortThe area and days out
Kiotari has several beaches within reach along with tavernas, bars and a few clubs, and the neighbouring villages of Asklipio, Lachania, Profilia and Lardos are all a short drive. Lindos, with its acropolis above a horseshoe bay, is 15km up the coast, and Rhodes Town, with its medieval old town, is 60km to the north. The island's better-known family day trips, from the Valley of the Butterflies to its wine country, are covered in more depth in our Rhodes guide, which is the place to plan a day out from here. A hire car from the George Cars desk in the lobby, or the local bus from the stop near the gate, makes those trips easier than relying on taxis.
Loves and gripes
What families consistently rate and what they flag, then how it compares, the journey in and the weather.
Drawn from recent guest reviews, this is what families come back to on both sides. Some guests feel service gaps mean it falls short of a five-star rating despite the modern design. It's a good resort with specific, named gaps, not one to steer clear of.
What families love
- The animation team and evening entertainment, named again and again.
- The waterpark and the infinity-pool end of the resort.
- The à la carte quality once booked, with Moonlight and Rozu singled out.
- Staff who are good with children, several named in reviews.
- The quiet beach, described as beautiful and good for snorkelling.
- The cleanliness and modern design of the public areas and pools.
Common gripes
- À la carte tables can be hard to get, even booking early in a stay.
- The buffet is inconsistent, often rated as just okay against the à la carte.
- Housekeeping and pool-area upkeep can slip: one detailed review describes bird droppings left on sunbeds, beds "made" rather than properly cleaned, the minibar not restocked daily and tea and coffee not always replenished.
- A separate review flags a shortage of seating in the pool entertainment area.
- The evening entertainment is loud near the pool at bedtime.
- It can be windy at the waterpark and pool end at times.
- Not every restaurant is open every night, especially off-peak.
- One guest found the main pool deep along its whole length, with no shallow area.
How it compares
Princess Andriana is one of four similarly-branded H Hotels Collection resorts in the same Kiotari cluster, alongside Rodos Princess, Lindos Princess and Princess Sun, so it is easy to confuse the names when you search, and worth checking you are booking this one. Against other Rhodes family all-inclusives, its clearest edge is the new waterpark, and in particular its very-young end, which not every resort matches. On TripAdvisor it sits at 4 out of 5 from around 5,450 reviews, ranked #83 of 499 hotels in the Kiotari area, and on Booking.com it scores around 8.3 to 8.8 out of 10 (checked July 2026). For how the wider island's resorts and areas stack up, our Rhodes guide goes further.
From the airportGetting there and when to go
Rhodes airport is the arrival point, around 55 to 60km away and roughly an hour by road. An airport transfer is available on request for a charge, which you arrange ahead rather than it being laid on automatically, or you can pick up a hire car locally. The resort is widely sold by UK operators, among them Jet2holidays, easyJet holidays, Olympic Holidays, Thomas Cook, loveholidays and Barrhead Travel, so it is easy to compare packages. It is open roughly April to October. June and September are warm enough to swim but short of the July and August peak for heat, crowds and price, which suits young children.
When to goWeather
The figures below are long-term averages for this southeast coast across the season. The warm, dry window runs from June to September, when days sit in the high twenties to low thirties and the sea reaches the high twenties. Guests mention the waterpark and pool end can catch a breeze, in keeping with the moderate east-coast summer winds that cool rather than spoil a day.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| April | 20.5° | 14.5° | 29 mm | 8 | 18° |
| May | 24.5° | 18° | 16 mm | 5 | 20° |
| June | 28° | 22° | 2 mm | 1 | 23° |
| July | 30.5° | 24.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 26° |
| August | 31° | 25° | 0 mm | 0 | 28° |
| September | 29° | 23° | 6 mm | 2 | 27° |
| October | 25° | 19° | 57 mm | 7 | 25° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort is open roughly April to October.
Questions
The waterpark limits, cots, the Mini Club and the beach, answered.
How young can a child go in the waterpark?
The zero-depth Spray Action Zone is open to all ages, and the lifeguarded 40cm Kids Animation Pool is for little ones up to about two, so both work for a baby or toddler with no height rule to meet. The step up is the Aqua Tower, where two of its four slides have no age limit and two are over-eights. The main Waterslides Tower is over 1.2m and over eight only. The resort's own FAQ quotes a looser 1.2m limit for the whole waterpark, so check what's posted at the park on the day.
Can we add a cot to any room?
It depends on the room type, and it is the single most important thing to check before booking with a baby. The cot column in the rooms table above shows which categories take a cot on top of the stated occupancy: the two family rooms and three of the suites do, the Deluxe rooms, two Junior Suites and the Superior Suite don't. Book from the cot-yes group rather than assuming one can be added on arrival.
Is the Mini Club free, and what ages?
Yes, it's part of the all-inclusive price, not an extra. It's for ages four to twelve, running mornings and afternoons Monday to Saturday. A child of three or four may be allowed in with a signed parental consent form, so ask guest relations on arrival; there's nothing below that, so a baby or younger toddler is with you through the day.
Is the beach right by the hotel?
Not in the doorstep sense the brochure photos imply. Reckon on a few hundred metres down to the sand and back, with a buggy to push, so it works better for a half-day than for nipping down for ten minutes. Some guests describe a pedestrian underpass under the coastal road, so ask at reception whether that's the easiest route on the day.
Can we book the à la carte dinners before we travel?
No. They open only after you check in, through the H Hotels app or at reception, so you can't lock them in from home. Tables can be tight at the start of a stay, so book your week on the first day; if a night falls through, the Medallion buffet needs no reservation.
Can children use the spa or the gym?
No. The Euphoria Spa and gym are both 16 and over, and that limit covers the spa's indoor pool, sauna, steam room and hammam. For a family swim, use the main pool, the children's pool or the waterpark instead.
Are there accessible rooms?
Yes, wheelchair-friendly rooms can be booked, with lifts to all levels, ramp access and adapted room doors. One guest was told a requested wheelchair wasn't available, so contact the resort well before you travel to confirm the exact room and any equipment you need rather than sorting it on arrival.
When is the resort open?
Roughly April to October, the same as the group's other Rhodes hotels. The exact opening and closing dates shift from year to year, so confirm them before you book flights, especially for a trip right at the start or end of the season.
