5 Star Hotels in Rhodes, South Aegean

"We spent 7 nights at Elissa Resort on the Elevated Bliss package (all-inclusive) and loved every moment. It was our first time in Greece, and we’d return in a heartbeat—we only left the resort once to visit the Old Town! Room: Modern, spacious, and cozy—felt like a home away from home. The bed was large and comfy with a pillow menu. The minibar was restocked daily, and there were two TVs with YouTube and Chromecast options. The bathroom was roomy, though the open shower splashed a bit. Tip: bring small bags for disposing of toilet paper (not flushable in Greece), a travel iron, and pegs for the drying rack. Only downside: limited snacks (just oregano crisps and sesame bites). Dining: 4 restaurants: three à la carte (Fourni, Kavos, Masari) and one buffet (Fanes). Book à la carte early, though last-minute spots sometimes open. Food was exceptional—some of the best we’ve had. Breakfast at Fourni (reservation required) was great. Big thanks to Masari staff for the sweet birthday gesture! Activities & Nightlife: The beach is a 5-minute walk. We enjoyed the pools, bars, and activities like yoga, ceramics, and cooking classes—book early at the guest experience desk. The ceramic workshop with Theo was a highlight. Evenings were relaxed with live music and an outdoor cinema (free popcorn!). A few more entertainment options would be nice. Staff & Overall: Staff were warm, helpful, and made our stay extra special. Highly recommended for a relaxing, high-quality escape!"

"Fantastic. Hospitality great, all staff welcoming friendly and attentive . Pool and beach are spotless. Staff 100% best in class. I will return here for sure"

"Excellent location on windy side of island which personally prefer breeze Helps if you are bonvoy which we were Easy to get to old town and port Great breakfast included Do NOT buy the daily dinner as so many great restaurants near by"

"The stay was very good, all staff were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend to book the AMUs suit, it is slightly away from the main hotel building and alittle quieter. Different pools available depending on your needs, close to the beach, with a underpath that leads directly to the beech. Although it is not a sandy beech. "

"The hotel was excellent in every way. A perfect idyll for a week in the sun. The staff were very friendly and couldnt do enough to help in any way. "

"Absolutely excellent and friendly staff !!! Top notch service. Would highly recommend this hotel !!!"

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is good and the breakfast was great. We'd definitely stay here again if we were in Rhodes."
