The Ixian Grand

Kim Sophie Kuntner

We stayed here for 7 days at the beginning of August and were generally very satisfied. We had the premium double room with a large swim-up pool, which we shared with 7 or 8 other rooms (but most of the time you have the pool to yourself). The room itself is a little dated and therefore makes an "unclean" impression. What bothered us most was that there were no sockets or hangers for bath towels in the bathroom. The cleaning ladies were always very polite and also changed my pillow on request because mine was too high. In general, all the staff were extremely friendly, which made my stay a lot more pleasant. The food was very good and varied. A big minus unfortunately goes to pretty much all the alcoholic drinks. The cocktails were pre-mixed. Far too strong and therefore not enjoyable. The first few days I tried to dilute the cocktails with water, but we ended up switching to water or non-alcoholic drinks, which was really disappointing for us. The resort itself is great, well-kept and modern. Due to the constant wind, you have to expect waves in the sea, which is why the water is beautifully blue, but unfortunately very murky. It was a great holiday and we felt very comfortable in the hotel. It was really quiet and not crowded at all, so you could really relax.

Really nice hotel. Located close to the beach, and far enough away from Rhodes city, to offer a more relaxed and quiet atmosphere. The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was okay, not the best, but with a small variety every day. We had a deluxe room with spa and ocean view - the most beautiful mornings can be enjoyed while still in bed. It was never an issue finding a sunbed, and the pool was never too crowded. We vacated in week 27. Overall, it was an excellent vacation. Would definitely want to return again someday.

Lovely hotel and the staff couldn't do enough. A bit limited on food choices despite there being a theme every night. The entertainment was great and the aqua aerobics had a big turn out every day. The order to lounger was really amazing and this meant there was no queueing. The only let down was the rooms. It was the end of the season so I expect a bit of run down but it just seemed a bit too run down. Especially when I cut my finger on the bath button Shame really as this was a lovely hotel

We stayed here for 14 nights and loved every minute. The hotel was clean. Staff very polite and friendly. Nothing close by for entertainment so had to catch bus in to Rhodes €2.30 bus ticket each way, locals where very friendly

This was my first time at an all-inclusive resort and it went well. My room was on the 2nd floor overlooking the suite pools, with partial sea view. It was very comfortable with all the necessary amenities, including a coffee machine with capsules that were refilled daily. The pillows were a bit too stiff/hard fo me. I also noticed there is no soundproofing but the place is mostly quiet. The food at the buffet restaurant was very good, I especially enjoyed the traditional Greek dishes as well as the pizza. Asian night wasn't great, and the a la carte restaurant wasn't that much better than the buffet. Staff is polite and helpful. The pool/beach area is nice, there were enough sunbeds available. The spa offers a heated pool, a steam sauna and different treatments. I had a massage booked with Katherine, I enjoyed it so much that I booked another one and a facial treatment also with her, I was very satisfied with the result. The airport transfer is a very nice bonus, as well as the slightly late checkout. Keep in mind this is a 5* beach resort in Greece, expectations should be managed.
