Das Eigentum — Palm Bay
Palm Bay is a straight-up 3-star beach hotel, not pretending to be anything else. The lobby is open to the sea breeze, with plain white furniture and a bar that serves cold Mythos and basic cocktails. It suits anyone who wants simple, clean accommodation right on the sand in Ixia, without the fuss or price tag of the resort giants further south.
Chroniken von Rodos
Rodos city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned port, with a grid street system still visible today. The Colossus of Rhodes once stood here, one of the Seven Wonders, until an earthquake in 226 BC toppled it. Mediaeval Knights of St John then built the UNESCO-listed Old Town with its massive walls and cobbled streets, blending Byzantine, Ottoman and Italian influences. Today it’s a major Mediterranean cruise stop and a living layer-cake of civilisations, with beach tourism running alongside working tavernas and shops.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rodos-Guide →Die besten Monate
June and September offer consistently hot, dry sunny days with sea temperatures around 24°C, plus fewer crowds than July–August. May is also lovely if you prefer it slightly cooler (22–25°C).
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are absolute peak: schools out, charters full, and the Meltemi wind kicks in, making it breezy on the west coast (where Ixia is). Hotel prices can double. The main driver is the European summer holiday rush, plus local festivals like the August full-moon events in the Old Town.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late May and early October are the best budget shoulder months. Hotel rates drop 30–50%, weather stays warm (25–28°C) and the crowds thin out enough to get a quiet table at dinner.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rodos has a Mediterranean climate but the Meltemi wind in July–August can make beach afternoons blustery, even hot. Pack a light windbreaker or long-sleeved linen shirt for evening terrace dinners.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rodos
- A new pedestrianised zone on Sokratous Street in the Old Town is being extended, making shopping easier but watch for road closures on the perimeter.
- Rodos town bus station has completed a partial renovation with clearer timetables for Ixia and Faliraki routes; the direct airport bus now runs every 30 minutes.
- Seasonal beach bars along Ixia are fully open from early June; a few have added sunbed reservation systems via QR codes this year.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Palm Bay, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay. These floors are likely to be farther away from the street noise, which can be a concern in Rodos, and may also be less prone to noise from the hotel's service entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the lift (elevator) on lower floors (1st-3rd) may be noisier due to the increased foot traffic. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance on lower floors could also be more prone to external noise.
Best views
As the hotel is located in Rodos, the views from the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the surrounding cityscape or the sea, but it's unlikely to be a primary selling point for this 3-star hotel.
Quietest floors
4th-5th floors
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the nearby roads in Rodos may be a concern, especially for light sleepers.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony for a bit more space and natural light. If you're driving, be aware that parking in Rodos can be challenging; consider asking the hotel about nearby parking options or public transportation.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
