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.

Really good hotel for the price. Food was fabulous lots of choice. Staff very helpful. Very clean. Lovely location as it’s right on the beach. Activity staff work very hard to look after everyone. Suitable for families and couples. The resort was quiet as it was very early in the season but there were a very bars and restaurants 2 minutes from the hotel. Good bus service into Rhodes town.

First off I can honestly say that we had a lovely family holiday for the 10 days we stayed here but unfortunately for the money I paid I was really disappointed with certain things about this hotel. Didn’t spend much time in the room but they were in need of some attention i e cracked toilet seat, kids sleeping on the sofa and no kettle very basic. Food was not good at all if you don’t mind pizza and chips for lunch by the pool and meat leftovers from the night before your be fine. Evening meals were okay very hit and miss, even though we were all inclusive we ended up going out for half the holiday if I had more money I would have went out every night. Billy and Shelly from the entertainment team are the best great people and kids loved them but unfortunately the shows that are put on at night are not the best could definitely do with raising the standards of shows. Best thing about the hotel is the pools and right on the beach even though it’s pebbles it was lovely. Rodos is a lovely place for holiday but definitely better places to stay expected more for the cost ☹️

The Sunshine Hotel Rhodes is far from a vacation-worthy destination. While it claims to be a four-star hotel, it barely qualifies as a three-star. The property is severely outdated and desperately needs renovation. If you decide to stay here, opt for a room in the "Hermes" building; otherwise, you'll end up with old-fashioned rooms featuring outdated bathtubs or showers and the unpleasant bonus of cockroaches. The food is basic and lacks local produce, and you'll have to endure long lines due to limited space. The only redeeming quality of this hotel is its convenient location, offering easy access to the sea and stunning views of the Turkish coast. I certainly won’t be coming back!

My partner and I had an amazing time at this hotel. The staff were so friendly even to the point where they remembered what we were drinking. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the complex on the whole was very well kept. But the stars of our stay were the Animation Team who provided daily poolside and evening entertainment to cover all tastes, in particular two people stood out and these people were extra amazing they were Billy and especially Shelley who went to extreme lengths with her friendliness even remembering my name and coming to see how we were daily. Both Billy and Shelley are a credit to the Sunshine Hotel, please please don’t ever let them go

The animation team is outstanding, especially Shelly and Billy, very encouraging to participate in activities and it keeps you busy during your day. Rooms are nice, could be a little bit cleaner, especially the bathroom. Hotel food is ok. Very repetitive and lacks flavour, some nights food was cold. Overall, the hotel facilities are very clean, staff is friendly, beautiful beach but food is a little bland. We had an all inclusive but ended up going out for dinner most nights.
