Hotels in Ialyssos

Cook's Club Ialysos Rhodes is adults-only, so it is not an option for families travelling with children. Adult families, such as grown-up children holidaying with their parents, will find soundproofed rooms with garden views, a year-round outdoor pool and a spa with a fitness centre, a steam room and a hot tub. The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine and caters for different dietary needs, which helps when a group eats together. I would choose it for a calm adult break in Ialyssos, backed by a 9.1 score across 282 reviews.

Electra Palace Rhodes is a premium all-inclusive five-star on the beach at Ialyssos, on the west coast of Rhodes, which keeps meals and snacks simple with children. The large free-form pool and the beach both come with sunbeds and waiter service, so parents can stay put while kids swim. Rooms face the sea, the pool or the garden and include tea and coffee makers. Adults can use the spa. I would choose it for a family holiday where nothing needs organising.

D'Andrea Mare Hotel is built for family holidays on Rhodes: it sits directly on Ialyssos Beach and runs on an all-inclusive basis, which keeps meals and snacks simple. The free-form pools have waterslides and a lazy river, the kind of features children remember. Rooms are modern and air-conditioned with balconies, some facing the Aegean. Parents can slip away to the wellness centre and its steam bath. With an 8.7 score from more than 1,000 reviews, I would choose it for an easy family beach week.
