Fantastic holiday
What a gem of a hotel. Beautiful place and it has been a fantastic holiday with the kids who are 6&9. The water slides have been a huge hit!! The food is fantastic, and so are the onsite facilities. I had a massage with Lisa which was divine. I would absolutely recommend this. The staff are what make this hotel. Smiles everywhere and always happy to help. Absolutely will be returning :)

Fabulous holiday
A Fabulous Holiday at Princess Sun. We have just returned from a fantastic 10-night stay at Princess Sun as a family with young children, and overall, we had a wonderful holiday. The hotel is very modern, clean and well maintained, with some great pool areas. The children’s pool and slides were a particular highlight and were perfect for keeping the little ones entertained. The food was very good for an all-inclusive hotel. As you would expect, there was some repetition, particularly with the usual pizza, chips and similar options at lunch, but the quality was consistently good. Ice creams and drinks were available from the pool bar throughout the day, which was great. Our only disappointment was that ice lollies weren’t available, as we think these would have been a nice addition, especially for children. The main food area is relatively small for the hotel, although we never found this to be a major issue. We also booked the Greek-themed restaurant, which unfortunately didn’t work out for us. The food and service appeared fantastic, but the wasps were absolutely terrible and were covering the food. Unfortunately, we had to abandon the meal after the starters, which was a real shame and very disappointing. The location is at the top of a hill, with a large supermarket and shops at the bottom. It’s not too far to walk, and we also caught the bus into Lindos from the bottom of the hill on the left-hand side. It was easy and only cost a few euros, making it a great option for a day out. The staff throughout the hotel were excellent — always polite, friendly and incredibly helpful. We had a sea-view room overlooking the pool area, and we couldn’t have been happier with it. The room was spacious, modern and very clean, with an amazing view. The only other slight negative for us was the layout of the entertainment area. The mini-disco is away from the main bar, which isn’t ideal when you have young children and want to be able to enjoy a drink while they watch the entertainment. However, on certain evenings there was entertainment around the pool bar, which was much better, so we simply alternated between the two. The beach is lovely, we jumped on the shuttle bus and spent a couple of hours down there. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday at Princess Sun. There were very few negatives, and none of them would put us off returning. The hotel, staff, pools, food and views were all excellent, and we would happily recommend it to other families looking for a relaxing all-inclusive holiday in Rhodes.
Really great place to stay
Great hotel and lovely staff great shout-out to bar staff cleaners and restaurant staff me and my family highly recommend this hotel as we really enjoyed our stay thank you again princess sun 👍

A gorgeous family friendly hotel in rhodes
A superb hotel in rhodes that ticked nearly all our boxes!!let's be honest you will never find a hotel that ticks them all!!
Best bits - sandwiches on our late check in, pizza from the pool bar, peach slushies, no sun bed wars, lovely clean rooms, the cleaners did a superb job cleaning the rooms every day and should be highly commended, Dinner in restaurant was great, plenty of choice, staples for my kids were pancakes and Nutella for breakfast,pizza and chips from pool bar for lunch and spag bol for dinner but lots of other things to try. The beach bar and private beach was such a lovely extra, again great choice of food, would recommend the gyros and they did alcoholic slushies! The beach is shingle which is actually less mess than sand, it also goes quite deep very quickly so you need to be careful with kids who can't swim yet, but my two kids loved it, throw some small pieces of bread into the water and you should see the variety of fish under the water, make sure to pack some good snorkeling goggles it was a real treat, we saw a lionfish and a bluespotted cornetfish! cocktail game at noon at the pool was great fun!, also would recommend the ice facial from the spa!!
Only three negatives but they aren't stopping us coming back as we have booked for next July 2027 again!!
Gym - quite a few broken machines, only one working running machine, would be good to have 2/3 running machines and a working bike machine.
No bar at the entertainment theatre- you can get a drink from reception bar and bring it over in plastic glass but the theatre looks like it has space to maybe have a small bar at the back but that's maybe me being very lazy and picky!!
Hotel is high up on a steep hill, this didn't really affect us but it was hard work if you wanted to walk down to the small town but we did it numerous times throught the holiday and it hasn't put us off coming again but if you have mobility issues and want to leave the hotel you would probably need to get a taxi. The shuttle bus is great for beach and runs every 10mins, timetable says every 30mins but it much more regular than that and drivers are lovely.
Things to do - iced coffee from coffee island, the aquamarine challenge at the beach (20euro per person gets you a wrist band from 10am to 6pm, my kids loved it, mosa beach bar in kiatori for tapas and cocktails, nosh i kiatori for steak dinner, use the local bus to go to lindos, pefkos and Rhodes town, it was 3 euro to lindos one way and was 30mins, it had air con and called out each stop in English along the way, we went to village house for dinner, a rooftop restaurant in lindos that was superb food.
We also booked the sister hotel waterpark (Princess adrianna) it was very good value for money ( 160euro for 2 adults and 2 kids) you got access from 7am to midnight to the 5start hotel, use of the waterpark and the main restaurant and all the pool bars. Be careful there are height restrictions 1.2m for slides and they are very strict, my son is 1.19m and they would not let him on but we still had great fun in the pools and at the ice cream parlour whilst my older child and husband went on the slides.
There are lots of boat trips, we plan to do one to symi island next year and a trip to Rhodes town too, so much still to do!
The entertainment team at princess sun were also lovely,they work so hard! they put on shows and there were some private acts that came to hotel too, they had football, archery, French boules, yoga, water aerobics each day. One recommendation for the entertainment team from a previous holiday experience in turkey would be padel board games in the pool. One padel board that you have to stand on from corner of pool and make your way a quarter of the way across the pool and then try and either kick a goal with a football into the water polo net or dunk a basketball shot in a basket ball net, it was really good fun and always got kids ans adults joining in! But just a suggestion!! Some of the bar men were grumpy at pool bar and recption bar but it didn't really annoy us but we absolutely loved Manolis at beach bar he was so nice and did the best cocktails!!

Fantastic hotel and experience - can't fault it
Grandparents taking our granddaughter abroad for her first time. We were very apprehensive but the whole experience was faultless. I cannot praise this hotel enough. My granddaughter had the time of her life. Though it has been many years since we have been away in the school holidays and usually to an adults only hotel we couldn't have chosen anything better. The hotel was spotless the staff were fantastic, the food was some of the best we've had on any European holiday. It seemed they concentrated on quality rather than quantity. Though the poolside was busy there was plenty of sunbeds and it wasn't overly noisy just adults and children having fun. Plenty of tables in the restaurant and the service there is spot on. We didn't get the chance to get the shuttle bus down to the sister hotel beach and snack bar or kiotari itself *- our granddaughter was having too much fun where she was. Only drawback is the long (2hr) transfer time. It is worth it - so much so we have booked to go back next month when we intend to get the shuttle bus to sister hotel and look around kiotari also take a bus that picks you up from the hotel to Rhodes town.
