Beware

Just returned from Sun Beach, my wife and self arrived at half past midnight and went straight to bed,got up in the morning to find we had been eaten alive nearly during the night,mosquitoes we were told,we spent 60 euros at the pharmacy on preventive creams ,lotions and potions,to be told by the club reps,Tough this is what happens here,we were on the ground floor and found the all the shrubery and lovely box hedges to be crawling with insects,just felt sorry for anyone with children,we wre being pickd up to return at 11-45pm, the transport never arrived so had to spend another 20 euroes on a taxi to the airport,the place itself was very nice lovely hotel,big spacious rooms,we had to pay another 60 euros to keep the room until our pick up time,found the town very good ,plenty of places to eat and drink far cheaper than the hotel,was told they sprayed all the bushes every six months,in our opinion they shoul do it every week,so beware if you do not want to look like lepers,beware of the mosquitoes.

Just arrived home from 1 weeks stay at Sun Beech Resort. Room was nice and clean. Toiletries not replaced after day one. Had to buy at local supermarket. Most hotels we stay these are replaced as a matter of fact. Found the room very cold in evening. No heating. There was a lack of readily available Tourist Information. Had to ask reception for information. Was also sold the wrong tour. Asked for Island Tour which was advertised in the local Tour Place,down by the shops at 36 euro, but when booked through the hotel, it cost 42 euro each, but as we were picked up from hotel we thought it may be worth the extra, WRONG. it was a different tour and did not cover the same places as the one at tour place and turned out to be the Highlights Tour and not the Island Tour.This was not explained to us when we booked it and there were no information leaflets about it at hotel.
Did complain but was told thats the tour the hotel ran. HIGHLIGHT OF THE HOLIDAY AND NOT TO BE MISSED WAS the bar in the hotel and Gina's Happy Hour. Great fun, Gina a lovely friendly person, who will do any cocktail you wish. She is nutty, great fun, and full of life.

Just got back from a week at the sun beach and really enjoyed.
Being a travel agent ive been fortunate enough to stay at some fab hotels around the world so im pretty good when it comes to grading, as far as a self catering option i would def rate this a 4* especially in greece. We were lucky to be in block 2 on the beach, 2 bed suite apartment with sea view, we had a kettle and toaster, coffee maker, thats excellent for greece!!Apartment was spotless, cleaned daily. There were 3 pools in oour block, 2 for children, 1 of them having slides, there was a daily animation team there for children too. We didnt use the restaurants as we like to go out to eat but they always seemed busy and may be a good option as the resort is quite pricey!The location was wonderful, right on the beach, with lovely gardens and a pool bar.
Im still laughing at the comments from previous rater, bed bugs??? i got bitten to death and it was from mosquitoes, theyre kind enough to leave air con on most of time and unfortunately with air con comes the mossies, doesnt matter how prepared you are they still bite!!Ther were lots of germans but go anywhere in hot areas in europe especially sep/oct and its swarmed with germans, 1 good thing is though where germans stay usually lets us know its good quality!!!...The resort is right on your doorstep with lots of little shops, bars and restaurants but still seems quite low key. 10 mins in a taxi will take you to Rhodes town (approx 11 euro), faliraki (approx 17 euro) lindos (approx 45 euro) well worth hiring a car. Old town of rhodes was one of the nicest harbour towns ive ever visited but very expensive!!..I loved my stay at sun beach and will be returning.

The reception greets you looking fantastic, the service was quick and easy, the room at first sight was great, plenty of space, brilliant view. Then it starts to go downhill, my wife and I were bitten throughout the night by bed bugs, when reported to the reception we were told it was mosquito's this was not possible as we were protected by everything imaginable in the room and on our bodies. we later found out that our room was not the only one with a bed problem. The meals were edible but the choice was minimal, there were no sweets for after dinner except ice cream or fruit, most of the time the food was warm but cold by the time you got to the end of your plate. we ate out more then in. The place is a haven for German tourists, who in my opinion are the mose arogant and rude people about, there were 10 english in our hotel and 4 were in our party, the rest were Dutch, Danish and Germans, the Dutch and Danish were frindly happy people the Germans were rude and talked about us all the time, what they did not know was that one of our party spoke some German and we knew what they were saying. How this can be described as a 4 star is beyond me it was 2 star at the best, the management were not interested in our complaints, the receptionists were rude and did not care, we will definately not go there again. I used to ignore reviews and preferred to make up my own mind. but after this I will check them out before booking in future. Ignore this at your peril.

We stayed 7 days at sun beach 1 and it was very relaxed for us as our 2 teenage boys were involved in all the amenities layed on for them,the beach is only yards away and the entertainment was very good as were the staff. The food and drinks were excellent and the complexes as a whole were spotless and we are planning on a return there very soon.

What a great holiday destination and superb hotel. A 15 minute taxi ride from the airport and you are there at sun beach hotel, it has a great location and is approximately 20-30 minutes away from Faliraki for the nightlife and waterpark and just 10 minutes from the beautiful Rhodes town.
The weather was superb but not unbearable; the hotel itself has fantastic staff and entertainment team. There are activities throughout the day but if this is not your thing there is a beach that belongs to the hotel itself. The shows include transvestite shows, comedy shows, beach party and many more.
Literally a 5 minute walk around the corner there are some great places to eat and watch the football. There is only one club within walking distance so if it’s that you are after I recommend jumping in a taxi to Rhodes town or Faliraki.
It’s not too expensive and you are guaranteed a fantastic time whatever your wish.

Have just got back from 2 weeks at the Sun Beach 2 hotel complex.
The complex is made up of 3 buildings sun beach 1 being next to the beach (60 yards)
Sun beach 2 just over the road and 200 yards from the beach with sun beach 3 or club holiday.
Sun beach 2 is definitely the best all have very good pools. Sun beds hard to get towels on most by 7-00 o clock. Rooms big and very clean and staff very nice and helpful.
Entertainment excellent some very good shows put on. Did not use hotel restaurant like to walk around and see all the other restaurant and bars before picking one. All very good did not have one bad meal.
The beach is very good bit stony you need crocs to walk far. The water can be a bit rough wavers blown up by the wind. Sun beds only $3 a day getting about can hire a car but very hard to park any were use taxes, Driver may even take you around on a good tour.
A must is a night time trip to Rhodes old town for shopping and a very good local meal.
All in all had a very very good holiday. Weather very hot 27 -32.

Just returned from our second spell at Sun Beach. The place is just brilliant. The location is fantastic for families. A minute from the beach.
Enough bars and restaurants without it being overcrowded.
The staff at the hotel are all very friendly and are always polite.
The animation team are amazing and keep everyone entertained from morning to night. Special thanks to Nikki, Paolo, Anis, and Judith.
They have a kids club which is very good.
The hotel is also very clean and has a clean, safe playground for the smaller children.

Just came back from holiday a day ago 4 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 12.
The apartments were ideal very clean and staff were great, we are planning on going back next year at the same time.
This was our first time in Greece and we were there for a wedding, everywhere we went in Greece was spot on. I would recommend the waterpark in Faliraki.
Prices are reasonable, thank you for a great holiday.

We have just come back after staying for one week we wished it was longer!
The Sun Beach is very clean and the staff are friendly. My two children aged 10 went to the daily kid zone club and had a great time!
Pools great just watch little ones near large pool only a very small section is shallow.
They have two other pools for kids.
Beach is amazing we loved to go at 8.15 p.m. to watch the sun go down over Turkey!
Sea is a bit rough so caught a taxi to Kalithea beach brill for snorkelling, taxi cost 15 Euros to get there it would take 2 buses and as is was so hot was worth it.
Must go to Rhodes town also take the boat trip to Lindos great for snorkelling. Hotel activities are good fun they get you involved we all played darts everyday so had to buy a dart board when we got back!

Just come back from the best holiday, it has been amazing.
There was 7 of us we stopped in Sun Beach 2, which was good as we ate there and the entertainment at night was also there.
From day one everybody was really friendly from the waiters reception staff, also the cleaners. Kate our rep was very nice to thank you to her.
Best of all the animation team, what great fun, our whole family have had with these guys from am to pm they were on the go, with different activities for everyone. The children went to the kids clubs and really had a great time doing allsorts - pj and chocolate parties at night too.
It was very sad to leave, we will return definitely. Thank you to everybody for making our holiday extra special.
