Rodos Sun

What can I say. Not a thing wrong with this hotel. Upon arrival we were signed in quickly by Mira .Lovely lady,always smiling and helpful,nothing is to much trouble.The hotel rooms are basic but spotless and comfortable.Didnt spend a lot of time in the room 😉, wanted to be outside. We were self catering but had Sunday roast,and I recommend it,fot €10 it was delicious.Then Monday night barbecue for €12 was fantastic, not to be missed.bingo and knockout pool was so much fun and all very friendly.Cannot recommend this place enough,Nick was very helpful with all his advice.

This was the 1st time we travelled to Greece. We travelled here in June 2019 has a family of 6. The Reception was closed due to the fact that we arrived at the dead of night but welcome through the bar which was nice. Warm Welcome by Nick who was fantastic gave our keys once checked in (2 apartments) then proceed back to the bar to get a drink due the long journey from the airport in Rhodes. Once we go there Nick offered his hand again and asked our name ( which i thought was nice which you don't get in normal hotels / apartments ) and he said all though the kitchen was closed he and family would cook something for to eat again very well thought of so we continued to order food which was well needed since leaving the UK at 3.30pm and didn't arrive til about 11pm their time, then proceeded to our rooms and bed. Next morning we arrived for breakfast again cooked by Nick and family which was lovely home-cooking Nick mention that we didn't pay for our food the night before (our bad) but not to worry he will just add to this bill. Our stay was lovely break well needed. But i did find that the people who came here was in sort of a click and didn't really mix with people they didn't know they just did the pleasantry's Hello (Hiya) or Goodbye (night) which i thought was ok but not ok (if you get what i mean).

I want to write my honest review as I feel it helps others. I was looking forward so much to this holiday as it’s the last one I will have with my older children and reading others reviews I was very excited, however this holiday was a little bit of a let down. As previous reviews I can completely agree that this hotel is a very clean but basic hotel. The staff, Nick, Myra and especially Katrina are very welcoming and always helped and if it wasn’t for these people I think the whole holiday would have been so much worse. We arrived early hours of the morning and nick was on hand to greet us. There were some guests already there and when we walked in I felt slightly uncomfortable as it went very quiet and nobody smiled or replied to our “hello” but my husband said I was being a bit sensitive. We were shown to our rooms which was very clean but extremely basic. We had two rooms, one for my children and one for me and my husband with very basic kitchen equipment and two single beds. This again I was disappointed with. First morning we went to the pool and it soon became apparent that the majority of guests around the pool were people who had been returning year upon year and it was their pool. There was a group of about 30 there and they took over the pool, the beds everything. A man approached my husband and started chatting and we found he had been coming for years. Me and my husband then was in the bar and another man who we didn’t know at all came over and called my husband by his name and knew everything about us! Obviously he had been told by the man who my husband had been chatting to earlier. I found this to be quite rude and intimidating. We attended the Monday night bbq. This was supposed to be where the guests come together to meet each other and mingle. On arrival we were told we couldn’t sit at a specific table as it had been reserved. This was for the big group of returning year on year guests. Me and my family were sat on our own. How can we mingle with others when you can’t sit with them? The bbq was ok but not worth £12 euros if I’m completely honest. The staff worked very hard though. My daughter then went on to win the card bingo but oh my I wished she hadn’t. When she won the large table of returning guests started to shout “the newbies have won” which really upset me. We already felt awkward and this just topped it off! My daughter for four days was questioned by all of them what she’d spent her winnings on? This is the only entertainment that is provided by the hotel too, which is a shame because it’s very boring. So my overall view of the hotel is I felt like we were in the big brother house and all of the guests that have been returning for years treat you like an outcast and walk round like they own the place and you are made to feel like you are in their private villa. There were a few new guests who said exactly they felt exactly the same. You are not allowed to take drinks to the pool but when you are paying £2.50 for a coke 5 x it can be very expensive. Food is ok and reasonably priced. Location is ok if you don’t mind walking to the main part of falaraki which takes around 15 minutes but when you do there is no entertainment anywhere! There are shops and bars and clubs but unless you want to get drunk or go to a strip club or smoke shesha there is not one bit of entertainment. The restaurants are nice and if you want a nice meal then dessert rose and the opera house are lovely. So would I return? Nick and his family are lovely. And work around the clock.Hotel is basic but extremely clean. Weather is amazing but due to the clicky atmosphere and location and lack of entertainment in the hotel and in the town no I wouldn’t.
