Sunshine Rhodes

Wir waren nun zum dritten mal für 15 Tage in diesem Hotel. An der Rezeption wurden wir erst ein Mal von den freundlichen Empfangsdamen Evita und Joe und Suervisorin Rena empfangen. Bei Problemen oder Fragen, stehen sie immer hilfsbereit zur Verfügung. Vielen Dank ♡ Das Hotel liegt direkt an einem schönen Steinstrand Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und auch immer sauber, da sie täglich geputzt werden. Nun zum Essen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, da es ein vielseitiges Buffet gibt. Es gibt nie dasselbe, sondern es wechselt ständig. Für jeden Geschmack ist etwas dabei. Auch die tollen Service/ Buffet Leute, sowie Köche und den Chef würden wir gerne loben. Sie waren immer fröhlich und freundlich... das auch bei sehr unhöflichen und schwierigen Gästen, wie wir miterlebt haben ! ♡ Wir möchten uns auch sehr bei dem tollen Animationsteam Billy, Michelle und den anderen beiden Mädels + Jungen) bedanken ♡ !! Ihr habt alles so toll gemacht. Ihr wart immer gut gelaunt, freundlich, lächelnd und motiviert unterwegs. Ob eure coolen Spiele, Abendshows, Ausflüge nach Faliraki, Aquagym... Das alles fehlt uns sehr. Wir freuen uns auch jetzt schon auf das nächste mal, da wir mit euch immer viel Spaß hatten. Durch euch habe ich sogar das erste mal im Leben auf einer Bühne beim Karaoke Abend mitgemacht und etwas gesungen. Ich weiß nicht, was ihr mit mir gemacht habt ! So etwas würde ich mich eigentlich niemals trauen :-) . Auch am Geburtstag meiner Mama haben sie sich so viel Mühe gegeben um sie mit einem Geburtstagslied und Geburtstagslied zu überraschen. Sie ist so glücklich darüber. Wir lieben euch ♡ Zur Poolbar. An der Poolbar werden verschiedene leckere Cocktails, Säfte, Kaffeespezialitäten etc. angeboten. Die Barkeeper ( Froso, Vladimir, Dimitri) waren auch immer freundlich, fröhlich und sehr gut drauf. Sie wussten sogar wie wir unseren Kaffee trinken oder welchen Cocktail wir haben wollten ♡ Zur Hotelbar (innen). Auch hier wurden wieder ähnliche Getränke angeboten. Die Barkeeper ( Seva, Erjon etc.) waren auch immer freundlich, fröhlich und am lächeln ♡ Wir möchten euch für die schöne Zeit danken und hoffen, dass wir bald wiederkommen. Liebe Grüße, Sahra und Małgorzata

This is a great hotel for couples, families, friends, kids, in fact they cater for pretty much everyone. Pro's: 4 lovely pools, right on the beach, good variety of food and snacks, clean spacious rooms, lifts to all floors, shop on site, luggage lockers for later pick ups, friendly helpful staff, good entertainment, free sunbeds, free sunbed towels, Cons: it was 28° during the day and 26° at night and despite this the air conditioning was turned off for the whole site. Its their policy that its turned off from 1st October. The heat at night was unbearable and we had trouble sleeping. After complaining a few times, we were given a small fan which took the edge off but it was still very hot in the room. The bathroom really stunk of sewerage all of the time. It was pretty disgusting and we couldn't open windows or doors due to swarms of mosquitoes, even during the day, so we had to live with the smell. Other guests said the same about the smell in their rooms. If it wasn't for the lack of aircon and the smell, I would've given them 5 stars.

Long review coming, but wanted to be thorough. Returned home last week from our holiday at Hotel Sunshine Ialyssos, Rhodes. Website says the hotel is 4*, but it really isn’t as I’ve stayed in 3* which have offered more. On arrival, check in was easy, a map given to explain everything and we found our rooms ok. My friend and I had our own rooms – as we like our own space – which were on the same floor. The rooms are very basic, with only soap (my friend didn’t have this) and shower gel provided, and the shower in my room just had a screen – at the opposite end of the bath to the shower – so that was fun! Bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were hard. Also, the room had a kitchenette/living area which is a nice option, however the fridge was so noisy I had to close the bedroom door to sleep. My room also didn’t have any of the thinner curtains under the thicker ones, so for privacy, had to keep the curtains closed unless dressed as the rooms opposite could see straight in – not ideal. They do give a rota of what will be done housekeeping-wise for the week, which I did think was good – you don’t need bed changing, towels changing all the time, so we did find this good. Rubbish was removed every day, toilet roll added if needed. Hotel itself, you could tell it was nearing end of season, everything looked a little tired and worn out – unless this is it’s usual look. Limited cocktail supply was on offer and you couldn’t really see any other options for drinks apart from the basics. We spent our days at the Relax Pool – interesting that the bar only served beer, juice or water. Biggest thing which could be improved is the food, this did get really boring by the end of the week. Breakfast – none of the hot dishes were ever hot – just luke-warm. Need more than one decent coffee machine really, as there was always a queue. Poor layout with the bowls too – right in the middle, on the narrowest part of the serving area, with the jams, spreads, honey, etc – so was always so busy. Serviettes too, only placed in 2 locations, where it was busy! Lunch – can’t fault the selection of salads and cheeses. Hot food options never hot, just luke warm. Dinner – same as lunch, salads/cheeses good, hot food luke warm. Nice puddings, but after a week of the same at lunch and dinner – get a bit boring. Same food item, but with a different colour of sauce, also, no explanation of what anything was. Ice cream flavours good, but no proper size bowls to have it in anywhere near the puddings. There were gluten free counters and also at dinner a vegan option, however on the rest of the food there was often little or no description, and never whether it was suitable for vegetarians or not – which does limit you unless you can find a staff member to ask. Layout of the restaurant could be so much better so it flowed easier, and sad that the only thing hot was either toast or coffee (if you got the right machine). Mamma Mia restaurant – what a disappoint

Absolutely amazing staff members. All very friendly especially the activity staff that walk around the pool asking if we want to do aqua gym etc.. We had three occasions of ant infestations, one being on our bed. Told the front desk and was asked to come back in the morning when there may be rooms available. Thankfully there was and the process was very smooth and easy. Found a hair in my food and had multiple occasions where dishes and drinking glasses were not clean. Bed was really hard, my partners bed dipped in which actually made it more comfortable but not the point. Weird cleaning schedule, some days they empty the bins other days they change the bedding / towels etc. Food was absolutely awful. Everything had a weird taste to it, cold, overcooked, basically lived off chips for 7 days. We had one voucher for the la carte restaurant which was absolutely shocking. Had Bruschetta as a starter and I didn’t realise toasted cheese with olives passed as bruschetta but each to their own. Main dish was acceptable but desert you may as well have gone to the main restaurant. Other than that, beach was lovely having right there with access, the pool area was maintained daily but overall an average stay, definitely wouldn’t stay again and overpriced for what is offered.

The hotel is great. The entertainment team are fantastic and try their very best. The shows at night are very very good if there is enough people in attendance. The evening meal is great with a huge selection. The snack bar is a little limited but this is the case everywhere with all inclusives. The room was basic but you can upgrade or pic the better rooms when booking. The beach is stony but private and fun, but being sandals or swim-footwear. The staff are so nice to everybody. You’re not overwhelmed with things to do at night but there are lots of bars nearby and Rhodes is only a short taxi ride away. I probably won’t come Rhodes again but if I was I would stay here again it’s great value

Just got back after a fabulous holiday with lovely warm October weather. The sea is beautiful, right at your door step. Rooms are spacious with a beautiful view and even more beautiful sunsets. Food was a bit of a hit and miss, but usually dinner was okay. Throughout the day and night we were entertained by Billy and Chelly, they were absolutely fantastic and a great asset to the hotel. We hope to see them again next year, fingers crossed 🤞 Thank you very much Sunshine hotel and see you next year ☀️

Ne pas se fier aux horaires mentionnés pour les repas (plage plus courte) . Pas de goûter. 3 animateurs.....pour tout l'hôtel. Soirées décevantes il faut payer pour jouer au bingo ho ho !!!! Spectacle ridicule ! Nourriture fade et répétitive, heureusement j'aime les salades composées . Aucune animation apéro ou autre. Pas d'ambiance. Bon le positif jolie plage de galet au pied de l'hôtel, ménage fait, chambre confortable et personnel aimable. 20€ pour sortir aller danser en dehors de l'hôtel. Bon je ne conseille pas cet établissement.

This is nowhere near the 4* hotel that we thought we were going to. It’s in real need of of updating and is scruffy, uncared for and I believe everything is done the cheapest way possible. There is a real lack of staff ( although the staff we met were polite, friendly and worked hard). The food was the worst I’ve experienced at an all inclusive, much of which was tinned i.e tinned mushrooms, peaches. The quality was clearly low budget and was was salty, sloppy and we didn’t look forward to it. The outside dining room area was a poor experience, slightly dirty and no finesse.The all inclusive drinks choices were extremely minimal and came in tiny plastic glasses if you were at the pool. Ended up eating and drinking out to enjoy ourselves. The lounge area lacks atmosphere and is like an airport lounge. With a bit of thought and care it could be nice. The room was basic and the bed was so hard and uncomfortable and the sheet did not fit the bed. The bathroom suite was stained and taps needed replacing due to age and were grimy. We had no hand soap in the bathroom, lumpy pillows ( only 1 each). There were no tea and coffee facilities in the room. There was no luggage room and there were lockers outside which we had to pay 2 euros for but if you opened it you had to pay again. I hope the hotel owners/managers read this. I think this is a real shame as the village area has a lovely feel and I think if you don’t do something about this soon you’ll lose your customers. Last year we paid the same amount, travelled with the same provider and stayed in a different part of Rhodes and the experience was so much better.
