Sol Cosmopolitan Rhodes - All inclusive

The hotel is dated. We lost electricity one day and the TV was broken and never replaced, despite them having a look at it. Buffet food was fine but lacked flavour unfortunately, although kids loved it. There was a lot of sun lounges around the pool, just need to get up early and secure one with a towel. Loved having three pools for the kids to go between, a great small kids splash pool near kids club, a quiet pool and then the biggest pool had music playing and lots of activities. The entertaining staff were brilliant and showed enthusiasm daily. I wasn't so keen on the evening entertainment.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Sol Cosmopolitan. We found the hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff friendly. The all inclusive buffet had an excellent choice of food every day. The pool bar added to the selection of feed available and had a relaxed vibe in the evening. If you choose to use the spa treatments, I've never had a better massage! The Abba tribute on the Friday were excellent fun.

Fantastic hotel, the room was spacious, clean, comfortable and with amazing views to the sea. The staff is great, making you welcome and very helpful. And the food was gorgeous, a lot of variety and plenty of it

1wk in Sept in a group of 40-60yr old women. Pros: Staff were polite, helpful and friendly. Lovely sunset view from the Terrace Bar. Short walk to Ixia bars/restaurants, on a main bus route for Ixia, Rhodes and airport. Taxi’s come quick if ordered by Hotel. There’s a rank just outside too. There are 2/3 shops to pick up essentials, typical holidays gifts and beach stuff. There are 3/4 bars/restaurants right outside hotel. Reception were helpful with a room change. 5mins walk (across a main road or using an underpass) to the beach / sea. The pizza at the pool bar was nice. The barman in the lobby bar was great. Cons: The whole place needs a refresh. Especially soft furnishings. It’s very dated. I felt we paid well over the odds for what it was. The All Inclusive buffet was challenging, we ate out 2-3 nights out of 7. There were some live cooking stations but the quality and taste didn’t work. Rooms are VERY basic. We didn’t see any decent entertainment all week, except what was coming out of the kids club. The worst beach I’ve ever been to in my life - it was like dirt rather than sand, lots of plastics and cigarette butts and you definitely need to buy rubber beach shoes as it’s all pebbles. Just go B&B and use it as a base to explore Ixia & Rhodes if you get a really cheap deal. Try Villa de Mar and Amalfi Coast in Ixia.
