Ialyssos Bay

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A hotel that truly deserves 5 stars! I honestly cannot recommend Ialyssos Bay Hotel enough! This was my first time staying here, spending two weeks with my family and friends, who have been coming to this hotel for the past six years, and I can completely understand why they keep coming back! From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel so welcome. Every single member of staff is absolutely lovely, from the reception team to the kitchen staff, cleaning team and bar staff. They all work incredibly hard, and it really shows how much care and effort they put into making everyone’s holiday special. Every time I saw a staff member, I was greeted with a lovely smile, which made me feel so comfortable and at home. The owners/ management are also wonderful and make you feel like part of the family rather than just another guest. The entertainment is brilliant, and the sporting facilities are fantastic. The lady who runs the sports activities is so lovely, positive and uplifting, bringing such a great energy to everything she does. The food is delicious, with a wide variety of choices to suit different tastes and needs, so there really is something for everyone. There is also a great selection of drinks available at both the main bar and pool bar. The ladies at the pool bar are incredibly friendly, welcoming and lovely, and the bartender at the main bar deserves a special mention too for being so hardworking, friendly and helpful. What makes this hotel truly special is not just the facilities, food or entertainment, but the people who work there. You can see how hard everyone works and how much they care about making guests happy. Every member of staff plays a part in creating such a lovely atmosphere, and they deserve so much appreciation for everything they do. I genuinely believe this hotel deserves five stars for the effort, kindness and excellent service they provide. I would recommend Ialyssos Bay Hotel to absolutely anyone looking for a welcoming, enjoyable and memorable holiday. Thank you to everyone for making my first stay so special and making me feel so at home. I have had such a lovely two weeks, and I will definitely be coming back! ❤️☀️

This was my second visit this year, 4th time to the hotel. Our friend joined us this time as we had been raving so much about the place, and she was not disappointed! The hotel very kindly gave her a room by ours, and made her extremely welcome. As usual, the food was delicious, the rooms super clean, the pool very necessary in that immense heat and kept exceptionally clean. One of the many things that make this hotel stand out from the rest is the staff. They are all, without exception, superb. They are all excellent, and all genuinely there to be helpful, kind and assist with anything you may need. Greek people I have found over many years of travelling all over Greece are genuine people, and this hotel is an excellent example of that. In conclusion, I would like to offer my love and thanks to them all, to name a few….Christina, Stephanos, Mary, Angela, Martin (my adopted son), Kristina and Irene! See you next season!!!!! Xx

Returned last week from this great hotel. It's our 6th visit only missing out the year of covid. We love coming here I feel like I'm coming home. I love Rhodes it's my happy place. Food as always was great and of plenty choice and the desserts here are to die for. I love the Greek night and the lamb on this night was just delicious. Stefanos is a fab host in the restaurant. Yes there can be queues sometimes at the bar but you are not waiting a long time. The staff here all work so hard but I do have to say that Martin who works the bar does go above and beyond. I also have to thank Christina and the lovley ladies on reception for allowing me to move rooms as I didn't sleep due to an issue with the air con. The hotel is clean. The on site shop is also good value for money. 10 min walk and you are into the little village of ialysoss with a variety of shops, bars and restaurants. The beach is just a short stroll and is pebbly so would take beach shoes but love watching the beautiful sunsets. This year we visited the beautiful island of Chalki and I would recommend this. You can book a mini bus to take you into Rhodes old Town which is just amazing by both day and night. We will hopefully be back next year for our 7th visit. Thank you ialysoss Bay ❤️

Excellent hotel. Spotless inside, good food, happy staff. Bar good, although sometimes 10 minute queues. Quiet location. Only thing I didn't like are the number of cats at the hotel; and the resultant odd cat poo on the lawn. Personally would like to see less cats, although a lot of guests like the cats. From a British perspective, would of liked to see bigger cups for cups of tea. You can't make a good cuppa in a coffee cup. So was desperate for a good brew when got home. Hotel get some mugs please! Would return.

Just coming to the end of another great 2 weeks at this great hotel. This is is our 10th stay in the last 12 years. Again can't fault the staff, everyone is always happy you see you and nothing is too much effort. Room is as aways clean and bed is changed regular along with clean towels everyday if you need them. Food is good and plenty of it. Shout out to the pool bar staff and Martin in the hotel bar who all work hard to keep everyone served as quick as possible.
