Sheraton Rhodes Resort
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
A big, upscale resort hotel in Ixia, five minutes from Rhodes Town. The draw for families is space and convenience: four outdoor pools plus an indoor pool (rare here, and handy on a windy day), a children's pool, playground, kids club and babysitting on request. Ixia sits on the breezier west coast, so the sea can be choppy and the beach is pebbly, but you are wonderfully close to the Old Town.
Our verdict
The pick for families who want to actually see Rhodes Town, with pools and an indoor option to fall back on. Better for babies and younger kids than for teens after water slides.
The rooms
A large, comfortable resort hotel with spacious rooms and suites, many with sea-view balconies over the west coast. Family rooms and connecting rooms are available, and the standard rooms are generous by island standards. It reads as a polished resort hotel rather than a kids' waterpark village, which suits families who like a bit of calm and space.

Is it right for your kids?
Baby

Space, calm and an indoor pool suit babies; the pebbly, breezy beach is the weak spot.

Children's pool and playground work well, and the resort is easy to navigate with a buggy.
Kid
4 to 11 yrs
Pools plus easy Rhodes Town outings make for varied days.
Teen
12 yrs and up
The town access helps, but without a water park teens may want more action.
