Cook's Club Ialyssos Rhodes

Just returned after 2 weeks at this resort, We had a great time with fantastic weather everyday. Pros. Very friendly staff especially the wonderful cleaners that do an amazing job, The mother and daughter that run the shop doing long hours EVERY day deserve special praise. Rooms are very clean and modern, the beds are so comfortable and the air con worked fine. The breakfast every morning was a wonderful experience with so much choice and everything fresh. The pool was lovely and even though we got there early there was anyways enough sunbeds to go around. The location isn't the greatest but its certainly a quiet area. Cons. Don't like to moan but there are a few things we experienced that might make us not return unfortunately. We spend most if the time by the pool but noticed the bar staff were letting locals (they obviously knew them) use the pool most days and as the pool isn't the biggest sometimes when all we wanted to do was chill in the pool we had to put up with groups of teenagers splashing and diving into the pool and the bar staff just chatting to them!! Also I think the hotel should ban inflatables and balls from the pool, the amount of times we was hit by a ball I lost count, also people laying in inflatables hanging on to the steps so no one else could use them so having to climb in and out via the sides isn't a safe practise. The rooms although modern and clean need a few additions including more wardrobe space as we was there for 2 weeks and has to leave stuff in our suitcases. Other small touches would be tea cups with actual handles and spoons as aposed to wooden sticks. Just our opinion of course and we are a couple in our 50s so felt a bit old as it seems to be a resort for younger people. Oh and don't forget the tourist tax you have to pay on arrival and if your going with Jet2holidays they drop you off a 15 minute walk away on the main road down a hill so expect to pull your cases up a dirt track in the sun if you arrive during the day!

Nice hotel, but the lack of readily available drinking water means I can’t recommend it. It’s such a simple basic thing. Having water dispensers should be standard at any hotel of this level. The only dispenser available is in the breakfast area, and staff informed me that guests are not allowed to use it to refill water bottles. The only alternatives were to purchase bottled water from the mini shop or the bar onsite. It feels as though the hotel may be more concerned about protecting revenue from selling €3 bottles of water all day than reducing plastic waste and ensuring basic guest comfort. If the hotel added water dispensers by the pool and in the gym, I would happily rate it 5 stars. Until this issue is addressed, however, I would be reluctant to return.

Just back from a week at Cook Club, Ialysos. A beautifully clean spacious hotel with a great gym, yoga classes and pool. Adult hotel meant it was young-ish, but totally fine (Im 60). I believe July and August it is more of a party hotel with DJ’s around the pool. Breakfast was vast - everything you could wish for to start your day. And a Short walk to the beach. Lovely friendly helpful staff too. Shout out to Michael. Would definitely go back.

Very chilled hotel, our room was really spacious, had a lovely patio area with jacuzzi. The food and drink options are great and the staff are 10/10, make you feel so welcomed, shout out to Mike, Nikos and Panos. Would definitely come again!

This was our second trip, this time as a couple, after we previously visited August 2025 with our 3 offspring in their 20’s. It is a lovely resort with very friendly, chatty and helpful staff. We have eaten at the pool bar and the evening restaurant, portions are quite large. The drinks were quite delightful! It is only 20 minutes into Rhodes old town by car, which is not expensive. Around the pool there are plenty of different options to lay on, both in the sun and the shade. Our kids made use of the gym daily, whilst we made use of the lovely spa for treatments. We also enjoyed some padel at a local club which is a 10 minute walk away. This is a great place for a holiday.
