Atlantica Princess HotelIalyssos, Rhodes

A little gem of a hotel, and particularly good for families with a big lagoon pool and a setting close to the beach. Located just a few minutes from a sand-and-shingle beach offering plenty of sea views – and about a 10-minute walk from the centre. Plus, there are cafés and bars even closer. The hotel also offers a kids’ club, playground, splash pool and evening mini-disco. Adults aren’t left out either, you can join in with the activity programme and the poolside tavern is a great spot for a cocktail or two.

The lagoon pool is a standout feature – it’s big and comes with a bar. Meanwhile, big buffets keep mealtimes interesting – there’s a children’s section, too. Another nice touch is free Wi-Fi in the lobby and rooms.
