The 285-room Kresten Palace sits on a hill above the rocky sea coast, with its own private sliver of beach and a small swimming cove lined with sun loungers and umbrellas. There is a big lagoon-style pool and separate kids' pool. The restaurant buffet, while extensive, is undistinguished, except on Greek barbecue night. Mealtimes and beachside seating can be crowded. Rooms are basic but clean and have nice balconies, although they show some wear and could use a coat of fresh paint. There is a fee for Wi-Fi, which is slow -- when it works.

The 381-room Eden Roc Resort is an upper-middle-range beach resort on the border of Rhodes and Kalithea. The beautiful seaside property is fully stocked with features for families and couples, including four pools, an amphitheater with entertainment, kids’ activities, various sports facilities, and three restaurants and three bars -- including a Champagne bar in the lobby. Rooms are modern and stylish, with unique touches like tree-printed wall coverings, touches of bright color, and balconies; some have sea views, and bungalows have access to a private pool. Bathrooms, though, are somewhat cramped and often in minor disrepair. Prices here are some of the cheapest on the island for a hotel of this caliber, but it may also be worth comparing rates with Rodos Palace.
