Hotel berhampiran Pallas Beach, Rhodes

The hotel had been recommended to us but I have to say we were disappointed. Our room was lovely but on an extremely steep hill, taxing in the heat but manageable for us (we are in our fifties & both keep fit & are in good health) The cocktail bar was great to meet up with our friends before we went out. It is our 2nd visit to Pefkos so we had already eaten at the Nostalgia restaurant on the rooftop of the hotel & our meals there were a delicious as the last time (the hotel give you a voucher for a free half carafe to redeem here too) So we went in August ( due to my job we have to holiday then) and the hotel was full of kids. We had two 17 yr olds with us & we must be out of touch with how noisy the young ones are but even this wasn't really an issue. There seemed to be a lot of very large family groups, all reserving lots of beds so we really struggled to get sunbeds ourselves. There were six of us on the first week, 3 of us on the 2nd week. There were signs up regarding the management would remove towels if unattended after 1 hour - well, these rules were not enforced. There are 3 pools, the bottom teardrop shaped pool is the most pleasant, then there is a middle baby pool, useless for us, then the top main pool. The pool was rammed with people & big daft giant inflatables. This pool area isn't pleasant & made worse by the strong smell of old frying oil from the poolside bar. My husband would go down at around 8.45am & struggle to get 3 beds next to each other, one day we only managed 2 and a plastic chair. We came down to join him at 9am and there was noone around for hours! He sat on a plastic chair amongst about 4 dozen empty beds, eventually all but 6 filled up, we had a trip planned & were packing up to go & get changed at 3om - when the 2 families that had reserved those 6 sunbeds finally rocked up! They had two toddlers with them two so wouldn't of even needed the extra two beds! I was seething, they had clearly spent the day at the beach. Everyday was the same so we gave up, we had 16 nights at the hotel & used the ( very expensive) beach instead and several nearby pool bars, which were way nicer than the pools at the hotel anyway. Downside is, if you want to cut costs & make your own lunch ( albeit having to walk back up that hill) then this isn't possible as you have to purchase food & drink at the pool bars - I recommend Anixis Taverna, lovely quiet pool & food there amazing and the rock garden pool. So, ultimately we won't return here, maybe we should of complained but regardless, it was too loud, too busy & I hate to say it, too many big rough ass families all shouting across to each other & hogging up the sunloungers.

We stayed in the Sheraton Rhodes in the first week of July (2 adults 2 kids), last minute booking through Voyage Prive (booked Wednesday, flew Saturday). I found all the reviews here helpful in deciding to choose this hotel; here are our own experiences. Overall very happy with the hotel, facilities and service. Hotel rooms - we had guessed the hotel was built in the 70s/80s as the rooms and building itself are quite bland (actually built in 1993). We had Deluxe Sea View interconnecting rooms on 10th floor which suited us perfectly. View is fantastic - you can watch the sun set over the Turkish mountains on the far side. It was €4200 for the week for 2 Deluxe sea view rooms with ‘full board plus’. The minibar only had water and the waters were not replenished at all during the week. This seems almost a regular thing now with even top end hotels and in any case water bottles are 60 cent in the 1st floor minimarket. The king size beds are very nice. The hotel itself is not 5-star equivalent by European major city standards but nor are you paying anywhere near European 5-star prices for your stay. We found the hotel good value for the money. The public interior areas are clean and well-thought out. The lobby and the atrium around Knights bar is lovely. They have a baby grand piano open to anybody to play which is a really nice touch and adds a lot of character to the place. You’ll find kids and grown ups alike playing. There’s a nice mix of many different nationalities with the guests. Pools: 3 outdoor pools, with plenty of sun-loungers and parasols to go around throughout the day. The pool on 6th floor is very quiet and amazingly only ever had 3 or 4 people in it, with loads of space around it; the restrooms and showers here are even marble-tiled. Restaurants: the Castellano restaurant for breakfast and dinner buffet is very good and the staff there are excellent. There is a good mix of fruit / salads / hot food / cereals / breads. We never had to wait more than 2 minutes for a table outside. Non-dairy milks are still clearly not a thing for most people as sometimes these had bits in them, stick to soy milk rather than oat / almond! Themed nights meant sushi, Mediterranean options etc. as well as the usual main buffet selections. Full board +: we had 3 meals plus drinks included for the week which was okay value (about €900 for full board and €200 for drinks). Sheraton could organise this better. You get a paper card with your meal plan written on it which you must show staff every time you sit down for a meal, until they get to know you. Why they don’t just record your meal plan with your room number in the system I don’t know. With so many staff involved in serving drinks / issuing the bills etc, mistakes can happen the odd time. The extra for ‘drinks’ is about the price you would pay anyway, because as we found out on the first day, only one drink (juice, beer or house wine) is included per person. We usually have a lot more than one

So me and my brother flew in from England and stayed the week here, I booked before I looked at reviews then when I saw them i obviously panicked and thought it was gonna be a sh*T show, thankfully it was way better than expected. Firstly the location is great, 10 min walk from old town and the bus station where it costs €5 to go to lindos etc, sea a minute away, plenty of shops and restaurants around. The staff are very friendly and no extra fees were pushed on us, the room was clean, sure a bit of peeled paint was on the walls (not shocked due to humidity of Rhodes) but it was clean and nice. The room was cleaned 4 times in our 7 night stay and we enjoyed our visit, will definitely be staying again. I think some people pay for 2* and expect 5* lmao. For a 2* hotel it was way better than expected.

Moschos Hotel is located right by the beach and has been renovated in 2020/2021. The hotel is family owned and the owners were super welcoming and friendly. During the booking process you will easily see which rooms have already been renovated. We booked the Superior Room we featured a large terrace with view over the ocean. The room was newly renovated and very clean. Bed was very comfortable and the area was quiet. Walking distance to the beach was 1 minute, with the hotel also offering a nice pool. There are plenty of restaurants in walking distance and you can also do a few hikes without needing a car (eg up to the close by monastery). Cab from the airport took 20 minutes and was 30 Euros with tip. We can definitely recommend this place!

Very nice hotel close to the center of Rhodes Town and the beach. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Spacious clean rooms with a balcony. Daily change of towels. Great, helpful and always smiling staff at the reception. I would highly recommend it

Very good hotel, clean, nice rooms and really good breakfast. The staff was always friendly and Vicky was very helpful and nice always with a smile. The hotel is good for old and young People and is close to the center wich is nice. I will visit the hotel again.
