Pegasos Deluxe Beach Hotel

The hotel takes design inspiration from its namesake with a Pegasus statue perched on a rock formation in the circular entrance. The outdoor parking lot is lined with trees and partially covered by a roof, and a revolving door leads into the spacious lobby, decorated with marble flooring, Greek statues and comfortable, casual couches. Hallways are modern and minimally designed with colored carpeting and classic furniture in some elevator banks. Some hallways have Greek mythology paintings that line the walls. Other areas are rather stark with no wall decor. The pool area appeals to couples and families. A winding blue slide is the central feature in the water park pool, which is surrounded by a lawn with lounge chairs and wicker umbrellas. Nearby is a grassy playground with a covered picnic area and cute lampposts. A kiddy pool is available for toddlers with a wicker umbrella built in the center that provides shade. The main pool has a water polo goal, small basketball net, and a large deck with blue striped lounge chairs, hammock chairs, and wicker umbrellas.

The hotel is centrally located to the beach -- five minutes on foot -- and attractions. It is 24 minutes by car to Rhodes International Airport. Rhodes town, with popular sites like the Grand Master of Knights Palace and the Ancient Olympic Stadium, is about a 20-minute drive away. The water park is three minutes by car, or 18 minutes on foot, from the hotel. Five minutes away on foot is the Captains Tours Travel Agency. Driving to the Afandou Golf Club takes 10 minutes. The J & D Rental car service is four minutes on foot.

The hotel offers stylish rooms with chic lighting fixtures, wooden floors, and neutral, modern furniture. All have balconies offering garden, sea, and/or pool views. Deluxe Rooms were renovated in 2014 and a new hotel wing was built in 2013. Standard Rooms, though, are basic with tile floors, no extra details, and old tube TVs. Features in most rooms include sofa beds, mini-fridges, slippers and bathrobes, safes, Wi-Fi (for a fee), flat-screen TVs, beach towels, and basic bathrooms with shower/tub combos. Presidential Suites have whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, and extra long beds.

Guests don’t have to go far for a snack, buffet meal, or cocktail. There’s a chic indoor main bar with gold and white bar stools, cream swivel chairs, a chic pool table, and terrace with pool views. The pool bar has pastel curved ceilings and an informal atmosphere. The main restaurant serves a Mediterranean buffet in a large plain room, and on a casual patio decorated with outdated patterns and colors. Designs are stylish at the pool restaurant with an ice cream section, chic white patio chairs, blue table cloths, and a flower-accented terrace roof. The beach bar has whimsical Pegasus pebble wall designs, a stage, and beach views. The hotel offers 24-hour front desk service, newspapers in the lobby, currency exchange, and rental car assistance. The indoor game room has billiards and ping pong, and kids can play outside on the colorful playground. The entertainment staff hosts various evening activities, such as karaoke.
