Sunshine Rhodes

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.

Having spent 2 weeks here with my family I can honestly say that we had a fantastic time. Shelly, Billy and the whole animation team were absolutely fantastic and so welcoming. Would 100% come back again. They really go above and beyond for everyone! Hope so see them when we return! The hotel was lovely and the rooms were lovely and cleaned every day. The hotel staff were great too. There was great selection of food too, definitely something for everyone. All in all I really can’t complain as I said we have had a great 2 weeks! Again a big shout out to Shelly and Billy they really make Sunshine Rhodes Hotel a fun place to be!

This is our 3rd time here and we have thoroughly enjoyed every minute, it's a wonderful, lovely and charming hotel where the staff work tirelessly. A big acknowledgement to the entertainment team. The hotel is lucky to have Billy and Shelly organising and orchestrating a varied and engaging activity programme. I especially enjoyed the darts. Billy and Shelly are multi lingual, friendly, happy and engaging. They work tirelessly along with the rest of the entertainment staff to provide guests with some outstanding entertainment. I especially enjoyed the paper and killer darts tournaments as Billy made them fun and highly entertaining. The restaurant and bar staff all work hard, the food is standard all inclusive fare and there is plenty of variety. The bars have a selection of local alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The snack bar is open all afternoon until 4pm and has some nice shade. The pool is refreshing and cleaned daily, it's perfect for taking a dip to cool down from the sun. Our room was modern and spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the main pool and connecting bridge. The maid cleaned it spotlessly every day. The reception staff are friendly, helpful and polite. They went out of their way helping me with some medication that had been held up in customs as I spent 2 months here over the summer. The cleaning staff are out at 7am tidying up, brushing and hosing everything down. They do a fantastic job. The hotel is right on the beach front if you fancy a dip in the sea. Outside the hotel is a strip of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and pharmacies. The hotel is right on the flight path and it's fascinating watching the planes glide over the hotel around 200 metres above. Overall we have no complaints. We don't normally repeat book but we are drawn to this place and will be back next year for a fourth time. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so memorable. Hula Hula and Yamas! Tarzan and Jane.

Billy and the Entertainment team are what make this place amazing, the hotel is basic and what you would expect for the money, no complaints here, same with the food and snack bar, don’t expect the ritz when not paying the ritz prices BUT, if you want a lovely Family Holiday with a great group of staff and entertainers, beautiful views, lovely pools, good excursions, bars and shops near by, close to the Airport then this is for you! Would recommend for sure! Thank you again to Billy and his team for making our family holiday one to remember, “OloooOloooo, Okidoki”

Arrived at 9.30pm, was given brown bag each with a sandwich, apple & bottle of coke, was told where our room was,as we had a hire car which we picked up from the airport but was told to park out on the street by a guy in a hut by the gate despite my husband being disabled, room was nice , clean & tidy. All staff we spoke to were lovely and helpful, always plenty of sunbeds available by all pools, food was ok plenty to choose from, the only let down was the massive cockroaches in the reception area and toilets! Which I spoke to staff about and was told she would get rid of them.

When we arrived at the hotel at midnight we were still greeted with a woman at reception telling us where our rooms are and about the resort and handed us a bags of food since we missed the buffet which included sandwiches, fruit and a cola or sprite. The rooms were all clean we had the bigger block of family rooms towards the back of the resort which despite people saying they were outdated wasn’t they were clean everyday with fresh towels etc. The restaurant was lovely always a table to use and we had a party of 10 and never struggled for a table. Most foods were repeated like chips and salads but most were changed every night which was lovely. Lots of deserts but syrupy but delicious nevertheless. Kids had lots of options for food and had self serve ice cream (vanilla always runs out first). When you sat down it had the most amazing views of the mountains and the surrounding area of the island of Rhodes. The pools were lovely and refreshing not cold but not hot. ALWAYS sunbeds to claim even at 1pm which was nice if you come back from exploring and can always claim a bed all 6 pools were fantastic never have to walk more than 2 minutes for a bar or a toilet. The beach was a pebbles but had nice sand is some areas and was quite busy even till 7pm The entertainment was always packed and was a different theme every night. 8:30 was kids disco and 9:00/9:30 was a show. Some of them were Greek night, mega bingo, and feel the urban beat etc. and pool entertainment was on everyday apart from Saturday it is a day off for staff. The bars were always happy to help and bartenders liked to have a laugh. The lobby bar and main pool bar are open till 1am and have self serve water and soft drink machines and had a cocktail list. The mamma Mia restaurant was always fully booked and have to book 3 days in advanced and despite bad reviews it was quite nice it didn’t have many kids options but they still loved it with pizza and carbonara. Wine and soft drinks were available. Overall it was a fantastic holiday and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience than this all the restaurant near by were higher quality. The cake box is a nice shop for coffee and cakes and milkshakes which is a small walk from the hotel. Unfortunately in our rooms 600,602,603 there were any infestations in the bathroom and kitchen which was a shame since it was such a nice room but we didn’t let that stop us from having a nice time. Thank you Sunshine Hotel for the amazing experience!!
