Cook’s Club Ialysos

Incroyable

Me and my partner have just stayed here for 7 nights and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very clean and tidy and the staff are welcoming and friendly. If you’re not wanting to use the transfer shuttle bus then reception will order you a taxi which usually arrives quickly so we did this to get to old town and costs around €23 The pool area was amazing, we loved the snack menu for lunch and the cocktails/drinks. The portion sizes were huge so we ended up sharing. There is also a shop onsite for drinks/snacks and the ladies who work there are lovely. We tried the restaurant one night where i ordered a gluten free pasta dish (as i’m gluten intolerant) we were sat waiting for quite a while until the server told us there was an issue with the gf pasta which was causing the delay and offered us a starter on the house. By the time the food came out, you could tell my partners steak had been sat there a while. We also tried to order room service which was quite chaotic, we called and asked what food they have on the room service menu, they advised us we can order from any menu and to call back - we called back to be told we can actually only order from the evening menu (No pizza etc as this is on the snack menu which stops at 7pm) he then offered that he could do burgers with gluten free bread, to then call us back 2 minutes later advising they can’t actually do this. We ended up ordering gluten free bolognese which was very nice, just a shame with the back and forth trying to order the food. Overall we had a great time here and would recommend to couples/friends. The only downside would be the evening menu/restaurant but there are plenty of places to go out for food instead.

After a whole season of no extra charges for external visitors, they chose to charge 7€ per person in August. Of course nothing changed in terms of service, no dj, no service, and seating in a designated area far from the pool.

Fantastic experience all around, hotel is fantastic and the staff are all amazing. Food is excellent, and the hotel has excellent WiFi.

The hotel is nice and the staff are great. The rooms are a good size however we only had space to store 1 suitcase so had to put the other one down the side of the bed. the breakfast is good, however the same everyday but there is plenty of choice so no concern there. The hotel is about 15-20 mins walk from the closest beach, which is also a pebble beach which wasn't a problem to us. Plenty of space around the pool. however they don't police who comes and uses the pool area so a few locals (not in the hotel) were using the pool most days. The bus service, which has no immediate affiliation with the hotel, but they do advertise it isn't the best. The pick up is fine but if you want to get back from Rhodes expect to wait 45 mins to an hour for the bus back. They have over 75 people waiting and send one bus with 20 seats, leaving the rest waiting for over 45 minutes for another bus. It takes about 25 mins in a taxi and 45 mins on a bus to get into Rhodes old town.

Enjoyed time with friends Pictures actually don't do justice for the space and more advanced atmosphere ..... We were a little concerned it was going to be crowded and a bit stale but didn't feel like that at all - it felt relaxed but stuff happening, people around - music, food, drinks etc - just the right balance. A couple of small service issues but all minor and as the overall experience was positive, they didn't cause us any displeasure. We liked that it was fairly easy (but rec planning taxis in advance) to get into town, other places etc. if you want walking distance 'lots of life' - this wouldn't be for you , but for us - worked well. Breakfast and drinks were good Beach front a short walk. Have low expectations of gym. We did so we were fine. It's basic equip, so no complaints from us , but good to know
