Sunshine Rhodes

Overall quite a good Hotel. Swimming pools were lush clear blue. Food and drink available. Food bit basic so lived of spaghetti colognes most of week. Grab your a la carte Italian meal which was excellent. Mostly skipped breakfast. Adapted for disabled but sometimes long way round the easiest. 20 euro to old town each way a must. New town not much in it to say youre abroad. If disabled get family room as showers good for 2 people. Our travelling companions said there room had a coffin for a shower

We’ve just returned from a week in this hotel. Before we went, we read some reviews and at first were really apprehensive as there were a lot of negative ones. Don’t get me wrong the hotel is dated and could do with a spruce up and some TLC in some areas but all in all it’s still ok. The hotel is situated right on the beach front so there’s amazing views every morning. Our room (family room) was more modern than others so we had no complaints there. The staff are super friendly and were very attentive to our 2 children (3 year old and 8 month old). The breakfast was the same every morning but still enough variety to choose from to switch it up and have something different. Dinner was a different theme every night and again switched up enough to feel different but some stuff was repeated but more so for convenience or if you didn’t fancy the theme that night (such as spag Bol was served every night, salads, cold dishes etc). Don’t fall into the trap of reading all the reviews like we did and go with an open mind as I do think some reviews are very harsh.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I feel people need to know what to expect with Hotel Sunshine Rhodes. Greece itself was amazing, but the hotel experience was very disappointing and in no way worthy of the 4 stars it advertises. The buffet food was one of the biggest let-downs. It was repetitive, bland, and very difficult to put together a decent meal. Lunch and dinner were practically identical, and bizarrely, breakfast included things like sweetcorn and onion rings. Nothing had much flavour, and overall the dining experience felt like a chore rather than something to enjoy. The rooms were dated and poorly maintained. The hairdryer was next to useless, and housekeeping seemed inconsistent at best. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, as if they hadn’t been replaced in years, with only three old, lumpy pillows between us. Sleep was poor, and the air conditioning left us feeling unwell after using it through the night. The lift is another issue — it’s honestly the size of a small cleaners’ cupboard, making it a nightmare to get between floors, especially if you have luggage. The drinks menu was equally disappointing. Only a handful of cocktails were available, all tasting watered down and very similar to each other. Compared to other all-inclusive hotels we’ve stayed in, the variety and quality was severely lacking. To be fair, the staff were friendly and helpful when booking taxis and arranging little things, but unfortunately, this didn’t make up for the rest. The final straw was checkout day. We had a 9pm flight and were assured we could use the hotel’s facilities to shower before leaving. What we found was one filthy cubicle in an unclean toilet, with no hot water, no soap, and no basic hygiene. This was completely unacceptable and left a terrible final impression. Overall, I’m honestly fascinated that this hotel is still advertised as a 4-star property. With so many far better options in Rhodes, I would strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. Greece is beautiful and worth visiting, but if someone asked me strictly about my hotel experience, this is what I would have to say.

This is most definitely the worst hotel I ever stayed in the food was dreadful The drink selection was also awful no cold water through the day and the main bar opened at 10 so We had to queue for at least 10 minutes to get some ice !!! In the 10 days we stayed there we had one breakfast and a dinner there the rest of the time we dined out !! The first room we were putting in was so dated it had sick all up the wall holes in the bedding and the toilet didn’t work It was absolutely disgusting then got moved to another room which was a very standard but slightly more modern room The only one good thing about this hotel is the cleaners in the room were amazing !!! The pool and the beach was absolutely disgusting in the 10 days of us being there we see the pool being cleaned maybe twice !!! The surrounding area within hotel again was not really nice The only bonus that we as a family thanked our lucky stars was the outside of the hotel bars, restaurants and shops if that wasn’t there I believe we would’ve flown home It was that bad… happy to share just some of the pictures that I took

Decor worn but acceptable. Need to use double sheets on the beds as they only use singles and it's a pain. Rooms and outside are kept very clean though. Staff great, all friendly. Pools are great. Food passable, always hot,so that's a bonus.. A great week was had. Expensive to go into Rhodes town though, 18 Euros each way.
