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.

We payed €70 for a day on the day we were flying back for all inclusive and it was alright. Breakfast and lunch were a bit rubbish, dinner was nice and cocktails and drinks were small but could get as many as you want. However, they didn’t let us book a taxi to the airport for when we wanted to and just asked us to come back at the exact time, making us quite late for arriving at the airport and they advertise a strip club on the back of the taxi slip - so tacky

This hotel has a great location on the Aegean Sea. I loved the ease of walking from the pools to the sea. Plenty of sun beds are available. It is a very elegant place and the staff are very friendly. We were all-inclusive, and I have to say that the drinks choices were limited. Our room had to be changed after two days due to not having a walk-in shower, and the rooms we were given had an interior staircase that would not be suitable for anyone with disabilities. The food overall was good but there was not enough fish to choose from. This is an adults-only hotel with a good mix of people.

The hotel offers a free airport shuttle, plus they also help you discover the island with transfers if you want. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel had a couple of clean and spacious pools and a beach front, with some sun-beds but could be crowded at times, however, we have always found a well located sun-bed. In the main restaurant all of the foods were delicious and they had a great variety. We tried the separate restaurant which is not included in the all inclusive plan. However, everything was frozen and not fresh. We ordered there octopus balls and greek gataifi and one of us got food poisoning. This came as a big surprise since everything else was perfect, from the main restaurant to the view and the entertainment. The staff were amazing and very helpful with very respectful attitude. Overall a very pleasant experience.
