Beautiful pool area, well-kept gardens, and a lovely private beach. The location is perfect for a relaxing resort holiday, and the sea views were stunning. We found the food better than expected based on previous reviews. There was decent variety, although the ingredients and presentation felt quite standard at times. Housekeeping worked well, service was generally friendly, and the shower water pressure was excellent. On the downside, the hotel feels quite worn and outdated. The rooms need renovation, furniture in the common areas was heavily worn, and some areas felt poorly maintained. The beds were extremely hard, even for the children. Drink selection was limited, and the hotel’s “Mamma Mia” à la carte restaurant was unfortunately very disappointing. That said, this is also reflected in the price point, and overall the hotel offers fair value for a more budget-friendly resort stay.

Me and my partner stayed for 5 night. George at reception was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed and was very good at helping us. But as soon as we got to our room, it was disastrous. The room was nothing like I had booked as you can see in the photo, the floor was dirty and bathroom had toothpaste and tape all over the counter, shower was thick with dirty that we had to clean ourselves and the balcony was dirty and so was the furniture. the stairs leading up to the room were full of grime and clumps of hair. The restaurant was awful, having the same food for lunch and dinner every day. 8 trays of hot food, and 20+ trays of salad. The hot food was the same ever day and tasted awful, but the 2nd day we started eating out, was very disappointing due to being all inclusive. Save your money and book somewhere else. The drinks were watered down and came in the smallest plastic cups I have ever seen, looked like something the dentist would give you. This was a suprise holiday for my partner as it’s his dream destination and all I can say is this hotel ruined the holiday, not worth the money. If they spent more time cleaning, making proper food, and sorting there drinks out insted of prepping 20+ salads and fixing the restaurant staff’s attitude maybe they would be better. Will not be back

Staff were very welcoming during the whole stay, had a few issues with the food in the buffet and in the restaurant with the food being to greasy and covered in oil. Great location with a beach just out the hotel. George 1 and George 2 are very friendly and happy at reception always up for a chat when you need to have one.

We spent 7 nights at the Sunshine Hotel in Rhodes in May 2026. It has been a lovely holiday, with the temperature around 25 degrees all week. We took a taxi from the airport, which is about 12km away. It cost us €28 for 3 adults with 2 large suitcases. The pools are amazing, kept very clean and are sparkling clear. In fact, the whole site is kept immaculate with grounds staff working throughout the day. It's an all inclusive resort and there are meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner with soft drinks, water, beer, wine and a limited amount of spirits available all day for free. The cleaning staff in the restaurant are excellent and there was always clean tables to be found to sit at. The daily entertainment is brilliant and includes aqua aerobics, dart games, volleyball, water polo, a big chess set and crazy mini golf amongst other things. The beach is literally the other side of the pool area and is solely for the use of guests at the hotel. The local area seems a little run down, but there are shops and restaurants within a few hundred yards of the hotel which are well worth the visit, especially The Royal for a lunch and The Garden Restaurant for dinner. Both are fairly reasonable in price and you must try the local Milokleftis Apple Cider as it is very easy to drink on a hot sunny day. The only real downsides to the holiday have been the beds and the onsite Mamma Mia Al A Carte Restaurant. The beds are very hard and it can take a few days getting used to. Some mornings I woke up feeling more stiff and sore than when I went to bed. As for the Mamma Mia restaurant, you get 1 visit for free and any subsequent visits you pay for. However, the food wasn't cooked fresh, it was already prepared, and it was really unappetising. So much so that we left the main course unfinished and headed off to a local restaurant (Joni's Place - literally 50 yards from the hotel entrance). I would not recommend the Mamma Mia restaurant, but the main buffet restaurant is very good. All in all, it has been an excellent holiday and I would recommend the Sunshine Hotel. Just an additional bit of info, we were here for 7 nights and the tourist tax is €10 per night per room, which meant ours was €70. We paid this to the hotel on arrival.

Great hotels along the sea front with its own part of the beach and large pool area. The rooms are large and include big bathroom, two large double beds and sofa. However cleaning staff aren't great and you dont always get enough towels and on one occasion didn't even get toilet roll! The bar staff are always friendly however the drinks are incredibly poor and the food is very hit and miss. The best part is the location as you are literally close to some of the best areas and shops which include the amazing sports bar Alkionis and bike and car rentals galore. We will be coming back next year but only because the rooms are perfect and the location.
