I have been coming back to this holiday almost annualy for the last 12 years because I have found my perfect holiday, which gives me all I need to relax and regenerate to face the following 12 months of pressured and full on work back in the UK. I have found the family who run the hotel, and the staff... More

The hotel has a great location on the sea shore (a small lovely sandy beach and a little pier for swimmers just in front oh the hotel), nice swimming pools just in front of the room. Rooms are very basic and small but cleaned every day. Breakfasts were very bad, no choice, no fruit or vegetable, nothing for children. Dinners... More

Good things about the Hotel are the staff, very friendly and helpful, the location is great and has amazing views so try and get a sea view room if you can. Food left a lot to be desired in particular breakfast which lacked variety especially the juices. Evening meals could... More

This was a disapointment, we never saw any staff although we never needed them as we were self catering and chose to clear off in our hire car most of the time, hotel was basic and not very busy but it was end of season. We enjoyed our holiday on Rhodes but wouldn't go back to this hotel.

We stayed at the Ilyssion from 4-11th Aug, yes I agree with other members that some comments on the food is valid, breakfast is simple and not to our taste, evening meals we thought were much better given the hotels 3star rating. There were fresh vegetables every night grown by Kristos the hotel owner. Most of the guests are eastern... More

We booked this holiday just 3 weeks before leaving and then read the mixed reviews on trip advisor? We were two adults with our daughters aged 16 and14. Flight with Thomas Cook was great? Transfer was tedious and took two hours due to going north to Rhodes Town befor heading south? Should have been planned better especially as it was... More
