Rhodes has a large number of hotels of every category from family run 2 Star hotels to Luxury resorts. Once you have decided where you want to stay, in the Old Town, the New Town or in one of the other towns on the island, it is just a matter of finding the hotel that is right for you and your budget. A travel agency can be very helpful because they know the pros and cons of each hotel and in many cases will have discounted rates to the particular hotels that they prefer. Also for those using on-line booking sites, you may find a particular hotel is listed as being full when actually the site has just booked its allotment of rooms. The hotel is not full. The booking site has just used up the three or four rooms that they had reserved. A travel agency can call the hotel and ask if they have rooms and book it for you. If you are planning to go to Rhodes and combine it with other islands the help of a Greek travel agency coordinating hotels and ferries can be essential. I encourage you to either contact Fantasy Travel or use my create-an-itinerary form which will enable you to choose your islands, hotels by category, tours and other things and get a price within 24 hours with no obligation to purchase.

Hotels in Rhodes New Town

We stayed at the excellent Hotel Mediterranean which is right on the beach in the new town. Our room was large and comfortable and had a terrific view of the beaches overlooking the point where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet. The Aegean side is usually windy so if you like waves you can swim there. The Med side is calm and a little warmer. There is a passageway right to the beach from the hotel with showers so you don't have to bring sand into your room like I did before I found it. I recommend getting a room with sea view so you can watch the large cruise ships come into the harbor in the morning and leave at night. The bar is a great place to begin your evenings and the service is friendly and efficient. There is a small pool, unnecessary with the sea so close unless you have a child like ours who loves pools. The breakfast buffet is abundant. Watching the parade of interesting guests who take part in it and their various approaches to food was my morning entertainment. There is a foreign press shop a couple doors down so if you like your morning paper with your meal you will be happy as long as you don't mind that it was yesterdays paper (unless you eat very late). You can easily walk anywhere in town including the Old City and if you run out of things to do at night it is right next to the Casino. See Hotel Mediterranean

Homes, Villas and Apartments

The trend these days in Greece is to rent a house, especially for families with children because having two or three rooms in a hotel can be inconvenient. Though living in a villa or apartment can feel isolating at times, especially for children (who, lets face it, have a lot more fun when they are staying somewhere there are lots of other kids around, like a big hotel on the beach with a swimming pool), sometimes it makes more economic sense to rent a house. Matt's Rhodes Villas Page has a number of properties all over the island ranging from luxury villas with swimming pools to simple homes and apartments. With maps, lots of photos of the properties and a number of options for searching, you can find pretty much exactly what you are looking for. Keep in mind though, that unlike hotels which have dozens of rooms, a house generally sleeps from 4 to a dozen people, and they go very quickly. So if you find the perfect place, book it.

For those combining Rhodes with other islands or Athens I recommend working with a reliable Greek travel agency like Dolphin Hellas, Fantasy Travel or Aegean Thesaurus Travel, who can book hotels, coordinate ferries and are available to assist you if you have any problems. Remember that if you can't find availability at a particular hotel through Booking.com or any automated hotel booking site you can probably find a room through one of the travel agencies.
