The hype
Great location for the price and friendly staff, but the property is tired and the food is repetitive.
Belair Beach
$60-140/ notte
Prenota se You want a wallet-friendly base near Rhodes Town with a pool, and you plan to spend most of your time windsurfing or exploring the island.
Perché piace così tanto
- Directly across from Ixia Beach (prime windsurfing spot)
- Bus stop right outside for a €2.50 ride to Rhodes Town
- Two decent outdoor pools, including one with a sea view
In sintesi: A dated but functional 4-star that feels like a 3-star, sitting on a noisy main road but delivering solid value if you snag a renovated room.
Recensito da @thatgirlwhotravels: We stayed in an Executive Garden View room and the balcony was massive! The pool sunsets were stunning, and I honestly couldn't get enough of the gyros at lunch. Perfect spot if you want affordable luxury near Rhodes Town.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The 'Executive' rooms are modern and nice, but the 'Standard' rooms are stuck in the 90s with thin towels and old furniture.
- You are a windsurfer wanting to be 50m from the waves
- You are a family on a budget who needs a pool and easy bus access
- You treat the hotel as a crash pad, not a resort destination
Pulizia e manutenzione
7
- Housekeeping: Daily maid service is reliable, but they often miss dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated; complaints of 'flooding' showers and worn grout in standard rooms.
- Maintenance: The hotel shows its age (built 1970). Peeling paint and worn furniture are common in non-renovated rooms.
- Linens & towels: Towels are frequently described as 'thin' and 'greyish' rather than fluffy white.
- Odors & scents: Lobby is fresh, but the outdoor pool area occasionally suffers from a municipal sewage smell.

5 cose da sapere prima di partire

💡You have to cross a very busy 4-lane road to get to the beach (there is a traffic light, but be careful).

💡The air conditioning in standard rooms is often centrally controlled and only operates during peak summer months (June-Sept).
