Sunshine Rhodes

This hotel was just what we needed for a week away, all inclusive, at a poolside and seaside resort. Bar and entertainment staff were attentive and even remembered our names and we were really impressed by them. Pool is large and nice, with plenty of loungers and a poolside bar. The entertainment was cheesy but good fun if you get involved after a few cocktails! The food was ok, as expected for an all inclusive buffet, with a fair amount of repetition, but even still something for everyone. Our room was simple and passable, but the cleanliness left some room for improvement. The bathroom needed a scrub, having evidently had a high level clean, the tiles and generally everything needed a deep clean. I didn’t feel that the room was fully cleaned the whole time we were there - just the bed being made really. On more than one occasion we were given dirty towels but these were replaced when asked. We had a pass to the a la carte restaurant, Mamma Mia, for one night, and this was not good, we wished we’d just stayed at the buffet. There was literally no atmosphere at this place. We were told it was booked out for a few days so we had to do it toward the end of the week yet when we went there there was maybe 5 other people sat to eat. The bread came to start with only one plate for us to share - a small thing but started us on the wrong foot. The service was not good, slow despite the small amount of people in attendance and not very attentive. I ordered the Caesar salad to start which was pretty good and the best part of the meal. The risotto which followed was not great and the cheesecake was the worst part of the meal. It came in a plastic container (evidently bought and not made) and was half synthetic jam-like compote, honestly the worst cheesecake I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t bother with Mamma Mia if I went again. Overall, I think the place could do with a spruce up but it is a lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Definitely visit old town, lindos, and especially symi island when staying, we did trips to these places and loved them.

We arrived at 3am and went to our room, to find someone else in there! Once this was sorted out and we were given room 614 - which was absolutely nothing like the pictures. It was mouldy and filthy and just disgusting to be honest and we are not actually fussy people! I would give this hotel 2 stars at best due to the level of cleanliness and the general state of the hotel which had broken furniture and torn sofas in communal areas. The pictures do not reflect this hotel at all.

I Rated this slightly down due to the room .If the rooms were updated more so the bathroom for starters as the attention to detail is very much lacking . The location of the hotel is Amazing we had a sea view room and the view is spectacular.But if we didn’t have the seaview room unfortunately I would have marked this down alot more. The housekeeping needs checking .easy things like towel changing Toilet rolls to be replaced if you can see there is not any . We told the reception three times about a leaky sink it was never fixed during our stay . All the staff are very friendly but I think where it’s needs an update things are breaking all the time so it must be so disheartening for them too . On a plus it didn’t ruin are stay as Location is AMAZING and surrounding areas old town Rhodes On the bus 20 minutes away and a wonderful boat trip to the beautiful Symi Island are all a must to do .
