Search hotels in Ialysos

In general a very pleasant town with extremely nice and helpful locals. Great restaurants (Bikini was our favorit), nice beaches and well located to travel to other places. Only down side was public transportation. Use that only to go to Rhodes town and when you are not in a hurry. For travelling to different places during the day, rent a car (we used Superior)

Ialyssos is one of the three ancient locations in the island of Rodos that were inhabited in the prehistoric time, some 3500 years ago. At some point it had 30 houses, which gave Ialyssos its ancient original name Trianda. Ialyssos has some of the best hotels in Rodos for families with children that are looking for the beach and swimming pool experience but still want to be within reach of the city and its historical surroundings. There's enough shops and restaurants in Ialyssos to find what you need, but typically you would visit the Rodos city center at least once to see the famous medieval old town - the only surviving medieval city center in the world with original medieval buildings still in use - and find more services. It's quite easy to reach the Rodos city center via public transport. The city center is too far to walk to but you can ride a bicycle to the city in about 30 minutes.

Lalysos is a short distance from the airport and also a short distance from the city. It can be said that there is also most of what you need to stay there. However, you can clearly see the decline of local services. Shops and restaurants have been closed. Many houses are half finished.

During my recent stay in Lalysos, I must admit that I was quite disappointed with a few aspects of my experience. Firstly, the beach was far from enjoyable due to the constant presence of stones and relentless big waves. It was practically impossible to go barefoot and truly relax by the shore. Furthermore, the proximity of the airport proved to be a significant downside. If you have any intention of leaving your balcony door open for a soothing breeze, I strongly advise against it. The planes would swoop down, landing mere 100 meters above, with a frequency of every 10 minutes on weekends. I vividly recall last Saturday evening when we actually counted a staggering 37 planes. Although the situation improved slightly during the weekdays, there was still a considerable gap in noise from around 2 AM until 6 AM. Lastly, the prevalence of smoking was a major turn-off for me. Whether it was on the beach, the balcony, or even in the bar, it seemed like everyone was puffing away without any regard for non-smokers. This pervasive habit tainted the otherwise pleasant atmosphere of the resort.

The aspects I appreciated the most were the courteous behavior of the staff, the quality of the food, and the swimming pools. However, I was not fond of the fact that the corridors lacked soundproofing or carpeting.
