Sunlight Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

Sunlight apartments were built by Costas, the owmer, and his character is reflected in them. They are well built, lovingly cared for and carefully thought through. It is as if someone decided what they would want from a holiday and then made sure that it was there. The apartments are spacious, simply furnished and clean. The pool is well designed, with a space for children separated from the deep water and room to swim properly. The pool is surounded by sun loungers. Next to that is the bar and restaurant. Costas and Irene are always happy to help and make you welcome. The visitor book is full of praise for them. We stayed at the end of the season and so spent the last few days of our holiday as the only guests and couldn't have asked for a better break.

Just returned from the Sunlight Apartments had a great time. Made to feel very welcome as soon as we arrived (at 11pm). Kostos,Irene and they're family could not have been any more friendly or helpful. The room was very clean and tidy. Irene's cooking is excellent.We will be going back.

I have just returned from heaven !! My friend and I were a bit anxious after reading a couple of bad reviews but we were very pleasently surprised. As soon as we arrived Kostas and George welcomed us with a big smile. The rooms have everything that you need and were clean. It was very qieut which is exactly what we wanted, some days literally just us by the beautiful pool, it felt like our own private villa. The whole family made us feel very welcome. Sadly we didnt get to witness the Greek evening as there wasnt enough guests but George did show us the dancing on one of our many late night evenings around the bar !! I feel that the resort has everything to offer, buses straight into Rhodes Old town is a must.
Sunlight studios would suit all age groups.
The family deserve all of the good reviews they have recieved, help them through the recession and book a holiday at Sunlight Apartments.
All in all we have had a very relaxing, welcoming week and were very sad to be leaving. Will definatley be returning asap.

We arrived at Rhodes at about 2am and got to Sunlight apartments at about 2.30am. We walked in through the door to the restaurant area and were immediately greeted by Kostos (Apartments owner) and his son, George. They gave us a very warm welcome and were very friendly and chatty. They then gave us some free drinks and led us to our rooms. The Rooms were fairly basic, but more than adequate as they had fully working fridge/ freezer, hob cooker and a range of kitchen utensils. The bathroom was also very nice and had all necessarry facilities. The pool area of the apartments was fantastic as it had a great atmosphere for both adults and children, it also had a shallow childrens area of the pool. The family that run this place are just fantastic and have such a great sense of humor and friendliness. The always go the extra mile to help and are great hosts. Every week there is a BBQ held at the apartments and it's an amazing experience with great traditional Greek food.
In conclusion, my husband and I could not find any fault with the Sunlight Apartments and we would highly reccommend it to anyone. The best thing about the Apartments was the genuine friendliness and hospitality of the family wo own the business and it made our holiday truly unforgetable. Thank you Kostos, Irene & family!

Well, where do I start!! As we were greeted and taken to our prison cell you could just about open the door and we stated to Kostos that the room was not adequate, therefore,he took us to a bigger room with a concrete based bed. The towels and the laundry were smelly, stained and ripped. Because we chose to do our own cooking as we found a good butcher and supermarket, we were therefore ostracized by the whole family. The actual town of Tholos has nothing to offer but a few tacky souvenir shops. The bar and restaurant was very over priced and the family very rude. My husband had to go to them on more than one occasion to ask for clean laundry. The sunbeds they provided had nothing on them for comfort, just hard pastic. If you are not lining their pockets the Greek people will not make your holiday enjoyable.
I certainly wouldn't advise anybody to go to Tholos to the Sunlight appartments.

I have just read some other reviews and have to agree with some and put the record straight with others who think that this place is "Excellent" it is far from it!
I know all hotels have to make money but they are money grabbers! On my first day I was told not to bring a small bottle of water into the pool area as they sell water, OK not got a problem with that, but the night before I had spent over £50 in the bar!
Over the years I have visited many Greek Islands and hotel/apartments/bars and one thing they do is show their appreciation to regular/good customers - this lot dont! We got one free shot and I had to wash glasses to get a free beer.... Hey I dont want it all for free but the odd free drink makes you fell good and fell welcome.
Dont bother with the local beach - the pool area is nice - but please put some
mattresses on the loungers
Greek night - it was 8 Euros in 2008 ( I was told this by a person who was there in 2008) and 15 Euros in 2009 - food was ok but not outstanding.
Food - snacks are ok - if you want some good food walk up into the village - the walk is worth it as it will build that appetite. Dont order one portion each but share ..... the pork chops are from pigs that are out of this world!!!
Overall, they are friendly but only after your money! If you are in a downstairs apartment - well its going to be the smallest room in Greece!

We have just returned from a really lovely holiday. Kostas and Irene and their three sons are excellent hosts and could not have done more, Irenes cooking is to die for and they always give a dessert and apperative. They are lovely people and even took us out one night to a local festival and refused to let us p-ay for anything. The pool and gardens are great and the setting really relaxing. We walked to the villiage up the hill which is well worth a visit. We also caught a bus to varuious resorts like Rhodes and a pretty sea side resort called Kameros. The Greek night was the best with lots of fun. The appartments were clean and adequate althogh the ones upstairs were much more spacious. Special thanks to their youngest son George but the older brothers were also nice. If you want a relaxing holiday with lovely people and good food then I would really recommend this setting Sue and Brian from Swansea South Wales

When we arrived we were given the warmest of welcomes by Costas and George. Our two family rooms were spacious and spotless and fresh linen was provided half way through our ten day holiday. Irene's cooking was truly delicious. We did eat out one night just to see what was out there, but decided that it couldn't beat Irene's cooking so we ate in every night afterwards. As it was the end of the season and therefore difficult to produce their famed "Greek night" Irene offered to cook us a Greek surprise for each evening meal, taking account first of the things we really wouldn't fancy! This was a great success. Throughout the holiday we felt they treated us all like one of the family. We could not have been better looked after, nor had a more enjoyable and relaxing holiday and we're already planning to return on holiday there this year.
