Rhodes has a large number of hotels of every category from family run 2 Star hotels to Luxury resorts. Once you have decided where you want to stay, in the Old Town, the New Town or in one of the other towens on the island, it is just a matter of finding the hotel that is right for you and your budget. A travel agency can be very helpful because they know the pros and cons of each hotel and in many cases will have discounted rates to the particular hotels that they prefer. We stayed at the excellent Hotel Mediterranean which is right on the beach in the new town. Our room was large and comfortable and had a terrific view of the beaches overlooking the point where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet. The Aegean side is usually windy so if you like waves you can swim there. The Med side is calm and a little warmer. There is a passageway right to the beach from the hotel with showers so you don't have to bring sand into your room like I did before I found it. I recommend getting a room with sea view so you can watch the large cruise ships come into the harbor in the morning and leave at night. The bar is a great place to begin your evenings and the service is friendly and efficient. There is a small pool, unnecessary with the sea so close unless you have a child like ours who loves pools. The breakfast buffet is abundant. Watching the parade of interesting guests who take part in it and their various approaches to food was my morning entertainment. There is a foreign press shop a couple doors down so if you like your morning paper with your meal you will be happy as long as you don't mind that it was yesterdays paper (unless you eat very late). You can easily walk anywhere in town including the Old City and if you run out of things to do at night it is right next to the Casino. You can find out more about the Hotel Mediterranean at www.hotelsofgreece.com/dodecanese/rhodes/mediterranean If you want to stay in the Old City one recommended hotel is the Hotel S Nikolis which is very popular with B&B lovers, has a great location and is one of the most interesting hotels on the island. They have rooms, apartments and Honeymoon suites and a terrific location. See www.hotelsofgreece.com/dodecanese/rhodes/nikolis The well known family-run Hotel Cavo D'Oro is where Michael Pallin stayed during his Pole To Pole documentary and is recommended as the only hotel in the Old City that is accessable by Taxi. This hotel will also appeal to those looking for B&B style accommodations.
