Sunny Days Hotel

Sunny Days Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Sunny Days Hotel in Ixia, you immediately get that relaxed Greek island vibe — even though you’re technically still on Rhodes. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Ixia’s hotel strip, and honestly, the location is probably its biggest selling point. I mean, couples seem to absolutely love it here, rating the spot 8.7 out of 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why.

Location & Neighborhood

Ixia is one of those places that feels like a perfect compromise — you’re close enough to Rhodes Town (about 10 minutes by car) but far enough away to actually relax. The beach is literally across the street, which is pretty sweet, and you’ve got that gorgeous stretch of coastline that Ixia is known for. What I really appreciated was how walkable everything is — there are tavernas, cafes, and shops scattered along the main road, so you don’t feel stuck at the hotel. The recent guest rating of 8.2 for location makes total sense when you realize you can walk to dinner and still hear the waves from your room.

The Room Experience

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid four-star — clean, comfortable, and functional without being fancy. I stayed in one of their standard doubles, and while it wasn’t huge, it had everything I needed, including a decent balcony where I could actually sit with my morning coffee. The air conditioning works well (crucial in Greek summers), and the beds are surprisingly comfortable. You know what I liked most? The little details — like having enough outlets near the bed and blackout curtains that actually block out the light.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast situation here is actually pretty impressive for a mid-range hotel. They’ve got continental options covered, but what surprised me was how well they handle dietary restrictions — vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices that don’t feel like afterthoughts. The dining area gets busy around 9 AM, so if you’re not a morning person, either go early or wait until closer to 10:30. There’s a restaurant on-site for dinner too, though honestly, with so many great tavernas within walking distance, I’d recommend exploring the neighborhood instead.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing about Sunny Days Hotel — it’s not trying to be something it’s not. It’s a solid, reliable choice in a fantastic location with genuinely helpful staff and some nice touches like free parking (which is actually a big deal in this area). The 7.2 overall rating feels about right — it’s not going to blow you away, but it’s not going to disappoint either. For couples especially, the combination of beachfront location, walkable neighborhood, and that relaxed Ixia atmosphere seems to hit the sweet spot. Plus, you’re getting good value for money, which matters when you’re spending most of your budget on exploring Rhodes anyway.

Hotels in Rhodes hug Lindos cliffs, ancient harbors, and palm promenades perfumed by night-blooming jasmine.
