I will go to Rhodes at the end of August, and I decided to go to Faliraki, since the beach is very important to me. I am not a pool person so, I am in desperate need for a sandy, large beach. My travel agent suggested three hotels, two in Faliraki, one in Ixia (Oceanis Hotel). I am on a budget so i don't want to spend a fortune on accommodation. Could you recommend between Blue Sea and Pegasos in Faliraki? I cannot make up my mind. Anyone been there recently? I am intereseted in good, decent relatively large rooms, good beach, good location from the beach and main attractions, bus station near the hotel, etc. I also know Ixia isn't too much of a place, the beach is dreadful, a strip of large pebbles, and I cannot swim so... that might be a problem. Most of the people going to Ixia complained about the beach. Plus, I will be going there at the end of August and I am afraid that the other coast (Ixia) will be colder and windier that time of year. Oceanis Hotel comes highly recommended but I heard that going in and out of the sea is a real adventure.
