Caravel Apartment Hotel

The best family hotel in Ixia. I stay there every year the service is excellent, nice room and close to shops, restaurants and the sea. I can highly recommend this hotel.

This is our 11th year staying at this wonderful hotel located right in the centre of the Ixia strip and situated right behind the Coconut Restaurant. Nita who is the owner is a wonderful host and nothing has ever been too much trouble for her and the staff to sort out. Room we have is great it's large and spacious with a separate bedroom and bathroom and all the amenities in the room to enjoy your stay. The balcony is also great and you can see the sea too.

Caravel Hotel and Staff - thank you for an amazing Holiday. For a 3 hotel we had an amazing stay and experience. Rooms : we stayed in a studio apartment. The rooms were large and extremely spacious. They were cool, with large windows and sliding doors onto a large balcony with a pool view , outside chairs with air conditioning and mosquito screens. The beds were extremely comfortable. Daily maid service and cleaning was exceptional. The kitchenette was basic but had : fridge, two ring stove, sink cutlery, glasses, bottle opener and very importantly corkscrew lol. Breakfast : Breakfast is a buffet self service and is amazingly fantastic value for money. You can choose what you wish to eat from: choice of cereal: jams, preserves, chocolate spread, fresh rolls and bread, sliced meats and cheeses, fresh tomatoes and cucumber, fresh fruit, Greek cheeses, peaches, greek yogurt, pastries and croissants, Swiss roll, boiled eggs, toasted bread and butter, bacon, sausages and eggs, selection of fresh fruit juice, tea and coffee or if you wish you could have a bit of everything. The breakfast gets topped up constantly throughout the morning and is all freshly prepared. It was great and set us up brilliantly for our days out ! Pool - the pool was small but sufficient and lovely and clean with pool showers and toilets. Plenty of sun loungers and no problems getting a sun lounger. Also unbrellas for shade and tables and chairs around the pool. There’s a children play area plus a pool table. Reception: reception is manned 24 hours and there is plenty of local information regarding buses, taxis and tourist information. Lounge: there is a lounge where you can have drinks from the Coconut bar. Here is a book case with books and magazines to borrow plus board games and there’s also a tv. The restaurant next to the hotel - the Coconut Restaurant is amazing and hotel guests get 10% discount on food and drinks but I will review that separately but that’s a restaurant highly recommended and not to be missed in Ixia! Location : Caravel hotel is 20 minutes bus ride to Rhodes town. It’s opposite the beach. It has plenty of restaurants along the road and nearby Ilyasos for more restaurants and larger supermarkets although there are small supermarkets along the road. There is also a travel excursion place opposite. It was a fantastic location for us to see Rhodes old town and as a base to explore more of the island. Overall this Caravel hotel and its staff is fantastic. It’s a family owned hotel and has been for over 30 years. It’s a small and personal 3 star hotel which is extremely quiet, safe friendly and it has a lovely atmosphere. It’s offers exceptional value for money and is extremely clean. It’s brilliant hotel for its location to Rhodes town and for exploring the rest of the island and is a wonderful place to stay. Everyone is doing their best to try to make sure you have a pleasant stay. The hotel is on the flat and has a lift to the two upper floors so is suitable for those with mobility problems. We enjoyed our holiday so much that we will be a returning soon. We highly recommend this lovely hotel and owners and their team.
