Cook's Club Ialyssos Rhodes

What a relaxing place. As someone with children, this was a peaceful escape away from the busyess & stress that the usual family holiday comes with! Even the breakfast buffet is laid back, no pushing and shoving and has plenty to offer from bacon & eggs, pancakes to pastries, fruit and cereals. Each location of the hotel has been well thought out, the gardens and different grasses are gorgeous, lots of different seating everywhere so no one's on top of eachother. The pool area is lovely, good size pool which stays open until 9pm, perfect for an evening swim. The spa was lovely and you have 30 mins free sauna and steam room with any treatment along with a 'detox tea'. Our room was to the back of the hotel with a beautiful view of the hills and trees, away from any noise. I think the rooms by the pool could be quite noisy from what people said. The beach, bars and supermarket are a 5 minute walk away and you can catch the bus into old town from the bottom of the road

The hotel is really nice. We had a garden view room with a hot tub and it was very spacious, modern, clean and pleasant. The hotel staff are really polite, courteous and friendly. The pool is awesome, always sunbeds/loungers free. The pool bar is cheap(ish) and the food at the pool bar is a lot nicer than the actual restaurant. The only downside is that it really is in the middle of nowhere. There is no bars, clubs or restaurants near the hotel. Canton Chinese restaurant is round the corner and that is well worth a visit but that's about it. The taxis are a rip-off but the bus is available at the bottom of the road and it's only €3 each way into Rhodes. I would recommend this place as long as you know once your here it's a 30-40 min taxi/bus ride to the main town centre.

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Cooks Club Ialysos and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in Rhodes. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this hotel takes cleanliness and guest comfort seriously. The room was spotless, and the amenities were top-notch. There were plenty of towels provided, along with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hairdryer, a toothbrush, dress robes, and slippers—everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The room itself was well-equipped, featuring a comfy bed, great lighting, and an abundance of plug sockets, which made charging devices a breeze. We also appreciated the mini fridge, coffee machine, and kettle, perfect for enjoying a quiet morning in. The highlight of our room was definitely the Jacuzzi. It was a real treat to unwind in after a day by the pool or exploring the area. One thing I loved about the hotel was the onsite shop. Whether you needed water, alcohol, sun cream, or a pool float, it had a great range of items, so you didn't need to leave the premises for any essentials. The staff were also fantastic—super friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was a real highlight. There was a fantastic variety of options to suit all tastes. We especially enjoyed the raw honeycomb, cheeses, meats, and fresh fruits. The sweet and savoury bread selection was extensive, and the pastries, including croissants and pain au chocolat, were a treat. For those who enjoy a hot breakfast, there were bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, mushrooms, and more. The inclusion of various milk options, including alternatives, was a thoughtful touch, as was the availability of coffee, tea, water, and fruit juice. The pool area and bar were also lovely. There were plenty of sunbeds, and the cocktails were delicious. The staff at the pool bar were very friendly, and the prices were reasonable, which is always a bonus. A couple of small things I’d suggest for improvement: It would have been nice to have a full-length mirror in the room, although this wasn’t a huge issue. Additionally, the TVs in the rooms don’t have accessible HDMI ports, so it wasn’t possible to connect a laptop or stream our own shows. This may be different in other rooms, but it was a bit of a letdown in the garden suite with Jacuzzi. The TV was embedded in a frame so awkward/inaccessible for HDMI. Another point I’d mention is the air conditioning. It's controlled by the hotel, and while I understand the eco-friendly approach, it wasn’t ideal for us as we tend to run hot. The air conditioning would blow for a while and then turn off, leaving the room feeling warm. This wasn't too much of a problem in mid-October, but during the hotter months, it could be uncomfortable for guests who like it cooler at night. Despite these minor points, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return to Hotel Cooks Club Ialysos. The combination of great amenities, friendly staff, and a relaxing atmosphere made it a fantastic place to unwind, and I would definitely come back again.

Fantastic hotel, the only fault we had was the pancake machine is not on everyday at breakfast service but seriously that is all. Staff are super friendly, they remember you and your order from one day to the next. Entertainment schedule for the week where there is something on every day. Accidentally left my iPad under the pillow the morning of check out this could have been a goner but instead the receptionist called me and confirmed my room number and returned my iPad so thank you to the lovely maid who chose to be genuine and return this to me as I said if it had of been someone else they could have taken it and never said a word. Location is a bus ride to the centre of Rhodes but they are partnered with a travel company where you can book seats in the bus returns or they organise a taxi for you or if you are up for public transport the bus stop is down the lane. I also must add THE SHOWER!! Fab powerful, hot and easy to use I’ve never had this is any experience even with 5* hotels. We would return to Rhodes for this hotel alone!

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in! Couldn't recommend enough! Big shout out to all the staff (especially Micheal, Spyros, Billy & the man who works late nights on reception who's name I believe is Mr Leftherris) they're all amazing but these guys were incredible. We felt SO looked after and they all went above and beyond to help us and make us feel welcomed and settled. The hotel was always spotless and as an animal lover it was lovely to see how well they look after the cats and ensure they're healthy and fed! The cats are gorgeous as well! This is honestly my new favourite hotel. I don't have one complaint and would return to Rhodes in the future simply just to go back to the hotel! Thanks for everything and making sure we had the best week possible. Anyone thinking about booking here go for it you won't regret it. I don't think any hotel will ever live up to this hotel! They had activities planned to keep us entertained and the restaurant food & pool side food is AMAZING!
