Sunshine Rhodes

We’ve just got back from a week trip to sunshine Rhodes .Both me and my partner previously stayed at this hotel in June 2022 and returned this year with our 2 year old daughter and another couple we are friends with .

I’m honestly not sure how this hotel has got so many bad reviews ,the location is amazing right on the beach front and only a short walk away from local bars and restaurants.The hotel food isn’t the best in the world but it was decent and a nice selection of things to choose from .The hotels drinks are also very nice especially the blue lagoons and sex on the beach cocktails the beer is nice and refreshing however watered down .

We stayed in block 5 (neilifi) and paid for a sea view the room was cleaned daily and again was a nice modern room .They was little problems such as the shower screen was too small for the shower and the water would splash out onto the bathroom floor but we used our sense and put a towel on the floor and then hung it on the balcony to dry no problem at all .

The pool area is brilliant and was always clean and the pool was at a good temperature not too warm and not too cold .The sun beds are the standard mesh sun-beds and they provided pool towels free of charge and available to swap twice per week .They was also plenty of choice and you never had to get up at the crack of dawn to reserve a sunbed .

The staff was all very friendly especially Billy the entertainment guy he was amazing and a very funny likeable character he would make everyone feel involved and made our holiday better (darts champions brad pit & Reece ).The only issue we did have was with the older man who serves on the pool bar on a night we found him to be rude and patronising other than that they was all very friendly and helpful.

The entertainment on a night was also good the mini disco was from 20:30 to 9pm and my daughter absolutely loved it .This was then followed by different entertainment each night such as comedy show ,bingo ,karaoke and the best one was the dance show by “urban beat” they was honestly amazing and very entertaining to watch .

All in all if you go on holiday to chill out and have fun with your family /friends this hotel is perfect for you .However if you go on holiday to complain and look for issues over the smallest inconveniences its probably not the hotel for you .All these bad reviews are expecting a 5 star plus service while paying no where near the price for that don’t be silly if that’s what you expect and book somewhere different however if you want a good holiday with lots of laughs ,good location and drinks then book this hotel you won’t regret it .

The place is not worth the money you pay for it feels like butlins in the sun (even butlins was better thou) the sound of planes flying above every 5 mins is annoying so you wont relax at all the rooms were old and dated and broken (rusty and broken baths fixed with filler) the beds were uncomtable and rock hard also only had two flat pillows, the shower fell off the wall first day also beware the shop keeper under paid change back to almost everyone he was aggresive and nasty to my partner and scared her and something needs to be done about him for sure. There was no kettles or cups in the room not even glasses for the drinks be got ourselfs so be ready for a nice long walk if u want a coffee in the morning. The drinks were nasty and didnt feel anything from them but the larger was ok ish ..... Food was ok but nothing special at all just a very dated hotel that makes you pay for something special and is certainly not at all like the picture also the sunbeds in one of the swimming pools where broken and in all sunbeds no cushions on them so very uncomfertable and the beach is pebbles and very hard to walk on. Also the pool doesnt open till nearly 10 and they shut its at 6ish but advertised differently. I would give this place 2 stars at a push staff however where freindly and very helpful
