The Sheraton Rhodes Resort is one of the best-known beach resorts on the island, standing on the sea front in the Ixia area on the north-west coast. It is a base for visitors who want a full-service holiday with swimming, dining and relaxation on the doorstep, while keeping the medieval city within easy reach by taxi or bus. The setting is open and green, with gardens, terraces and views across the Aegean toward the coast of Turkey on clear days. Families, couples and groups of friends all find something to like here, which is why it remains a reference point for resort stays on Rhodes.
Location and getting around
The resort sits directly on the coast, on the side of the island that catches the evening light and the afternoon breeze. Rhodes Town and the Old Town are a short drive away, and the airport is also within a convenient distance, which keeps transfer times modest. Public buses run along the coast road, and taxis are easy to find, but many guests also hire a car to reach Lindos, Kameiros and the villages of the interior. Check the current transfer and parking arrangements when you book.
Rooms and suites
The accommodation ranges from comfortable standard rooms to larger family rooms and suites, many with balconies or terraces and views of the sea or the gardens. Rooms are generally air-conditioned and equipped with a minibar, a safe and a workspace, though exact features depend on the category. If you are travelling with children, ask about interconnecting rooms and family categories, and if you want a quieter stay, request a room away from the main pool and entertainment areas.
Facilities
A resort of this size normally offers several pools, a spa and fitness centre, a choice of restaurants and bars, and a beach with loungers and watersports nearby. Children's activities and a kids' club are often available in the main season. Dining usually includes a main buffet restaurant and à la carte options, and guests can plan breakfast, lunch or dinner without leaving the property. Opening times and services vary through the year, so check what is running on your dates.
Who it suits
This is a place for visitors who like to mix sightseeing with long days by the sea. It works well for families who want facilities for children, for couples who want a spa and a beach, and for groups who prefer the convenience of an all-in-one base. If your main aim is to wake up inside the medieval walls, one of the Old Town properties will suit you better, but if you value pools, space and the sound of the sea, this is a strong choice.
Seasons
The resort is busiest from late spring to early autumn, when the beach and the pools are at their best. Some facilities, such as outdoor pools, the beach bar or the kids' club, may operate on reduced schedules outside the main season. In winter the weather can be changeable, so plan on indoor activities and trips to the town. Always check the current services when you book.
