Sunshine Rhodes

In short: Nice all inclusive hotel with good varied food, friendly staff and lots of activities. The hotel has fine pool areas and direct beach access. As with many ai hotels there is a lot of obese tourists fightning for sunbeds and white simple calories 😉 Improvement since last year: Better wifi and decaf nescafe. The room: We lived in a family room with twin beds and two couches for the kids which was suitable for four. There was enough room and housekeeping was fine. There's a small fridge. The food: There are two primary places to eat: The main restaurant where you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner and a snack bar close to the pool area where you can get pizza, simple hotdogs, moussaka, salad, fruit, drinks, and ice cream. The breakfast buffet is large and fine. Both at lunch and dinner you can get a lot of great food - both good local and international dishes. There's also plenty of salads and vegetables which makes it easy to eat varied and healthy food. The staff: They are always nice, smiling and accommodating, which impresses me, since they are working hard under the hot sun servicing and tidying after tourists that are not always well behaved. Keep up the good work! The activities: The animation team is doing a great job with kids' club, mini disco, shows, dart games, water polo, beach volley, aqua gym, morning yoga etc. Beach and pool area: Close to a beach with small stones and the most stunning sunsets. Loads of sunbeds. There are three pool areas with different levels of activities. The clientele: Mixed European families. As with many all inclusive hotels there is a lot of people racing for sunbeds in the morning and obese tourists that have no or at least different ideas of queueing culture. To a modest Scandinavian it can seem quite outrageous and offensive how some fellow tourists fill up their dishes once they reach the end of the line - and leave lots of uneaten food once they are full.

Fantastic location and the facilities are great value for money…. There’s a good selection of food and the drink quality is better than that of competing European countries. Its good value for money. It’s not fine dining but for a cheap getaway or family break it’s a winner. You could literally throw a stone from the swimming pool into the see. AWESOME. weather was fantastic every day.

My only criticism of the hotel is that they really need to manage sun beds. Its a busy hotel with lots of rooms but a limited number of sun beds. We arrived down at 8am for breakfast and there wasn’t one sun bed without a towel on it…. More annoying is that most of the morons didn’t arrive at the pool until after lunch. Its unrealistic to expect that humans will always be civil so the hotel need to do something on this front.

Location was excellent - only 10 minutes from the airport. Rooms were large and clean and facilities were generally ok Plus the bech was just behind the hotel which was nice.

Not happy that the gym was closed. Apparently since covid! Not sure why that is?

The room was a great size, cleaned every day with regular towel changes. The sea view was very nice and the possition of the resort right on the beach made this a fab place to stay. The staff on all bars and restaurants were superb as was the entertainments team that made a real effort every day to have a fun and varied program available. We feel their attention to detail really made our trip perfect.

The only negative comment we would make regarding this hotel was the insufficient clear labelling of the food offered on the buffet. As vegetarians, it was not always clear what was suitable for us and this was simply down to a lack of labelling. On asking staff each day we were able to sort things out but we feel this should not be necessary. A simple "V" would be helpful.

Food was delicious: every time different kinds of meat and fish, veggies and fruits The hotel itself is really lovely: extensive green clean territory, 2 big swimming pools and 1 for kids. The rooms are old but renovated. Beach: sunbeds and umbrellas are free. The path from the hotel to the beach is really short and no road with cars (as it is usually in other hotels). Staff: is friendly, speaks English. We had a special request for the room, they did their best, etc. Location: It is really close to the airport and the main city of Rhodos

Beach: the entrance to the sea is with big stones and it is quickly deep. So better to take swimming shoes with you. With a small child, it was difficult to enter and we had to swim in the depth with the child. so not optimal for small kids. Since it is close to the airport, you can hear plans coming for landing. It is a problem to sleep with an open window, but after a couple of days with a closed window, it was no longer a problem.

Everything we needed for our holiday. Good location by the sea, clean room, friendly staff and lots of food. Nice pool area too.

Location

Breakfast choices

super

The administration should be forbidden to occupy beach chairs in advance, both on the sea and near the pool, at 7 in the morning everything is busy, but there are no people, it’s the same near the sea, it’s terrible

Stunning location. Best sunsets.

Beds were uncomfortable, but credit to the hotel they immediately provided mattress toppers that helped.

it’s an old resort. it seems unloved and needs care and upkeep!
