Ladiko Inn Hotel

Family-run since the early 1980s, Ladiko Inn is a small hotel and guesthouse in the Ladiko area of Rhodes. The family behind it has shaped the rooms around the island's colours and an uncomplicated summer rhythm, with the sort of setting that suits a diving holiday built around the sea rather than a packed entertainment programme.

You can expect a straightforward base with air conditioning, private bathrooms, fridges, kettles and balconies in selected rooms. The property was renovated in 2019, and the welcome is handled by an English-speaking team. That matters when you are arriving tired, carrying dive luggage and not looking for a game of international charades at reception.

Ladiko Inn is in Faliraki, Greece, in the quieter Ladiko area rather than in the busy centre of town. Anthony Quinn Bay is about 0.15 miles away, while Ladiko Beach is within a short walk. Both are known for clear water, rocky coves and sunlit coastal scenery.

Faliraki centre is a short drive away, so restaurants, shops and the livelier side of the resort remain within reach without sitting outside your door. The location also works as a base for exploring Rhodes, with the inn positioned close to beaches and island sights.

The choice is broad, from simple single and double rooms to triple, quadruple and larger family options. That gives you room to match the booking to the trip: a double room with a double bed for two, twin beds when personal space matters, or a larger room when several divers and their luggage are travelling together. Private bathrooms are standard across the room categories described here.

For a little more outdoor space, choose a room with a balcony and garden view. Other categories offer a view, while basement rooms are also available. The suites add practical touches such as a safe, telephone, toiletries and towels, making them the sensible choice if you prefer a more self-contained night rather than the bare minimum between dives.

Every room has fresh sheets and towels, air conditioning, a fridge and a kettle. The fridge is useful for keeping water cold when you come back hot, salty and ready to stop being sociable for half an hour. Balconies open onto the peaceful surroundings, and the simple facilities keep the emphasis where it belongs: a decent night's sleep and an easy start the next morning.

VAYĒS PROJECT is the on-site restaurant, serving Greek food in a relaxed setting. It covers breakfast and lunch, so you can start the day with coffee and something to eat before heading out, then return for a less formal meal when the afternoon has done its work.

The menu has a useful café-style edge rather than pretending to be a grand dining room: speciality coffee, fresh sandwiches, pastries and sweet treats. It is the kind of food that fits a diving schedule, whether you need something quick before leaving or a simple bite after coming back from the beach.

The restaurant is close to Ladiko Beach and Anthony Quinn Bay, which makes the setting part of the appeal. There is no need to dress up the idea. Greek food, coffee, sandwiches and pastries beside two of Rhodes' best-known coves will do the job.

When you are not in the water, the property gives you a few different speeds. The garden and terrace provide places to sit with a coffee, read, or let the day's heat burn itself out without committing to another excursion. Wi-Fi is available for the essential return to civilisation, including checking the next day's plans and sending the obligatory proof that the sea was, in fact, blue.

Hiking is available for a change of scenery, while the water park and water-sports facilities offer more active options when floating quietly has lost its charm. The nearby beaches and coves also make it easy to spend an afternoon swimming or simply following the Greek tradition of finding a patch of sun and staying there.

A small selection of on-site shopping covers ceramics, bags, clothing and souvenirs. It is useful for a last-minute gift or a reminder that the holiday involved something besides dive briefings and wet towels.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Express and private check-in and check-out are available, which helps if your arrival or departure is less leisurely than the brochure version of a holiday. Luggage storage is also available for the awkward gap between leaving the room and leaving Rhodes.

Parking is available at the property, with additional parking nearby. The hotel also offers internet access and Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a non-smoking setting and family rooms. Accessibility facilities include wheelchair access, making this a practical point to consider when choosing your room and planning your stay.

The property is about 0.15 miles from Anthony Quinn Bay and within a short walk of Ladiko Beach. From the inn, Faliraki centre is a short drive away. The electrical supply is 230 volts, with Type C and Type F sockets, so pack the appropriate adaptor if your plugs do not fit either format.
