Ixian Grand

This hotel in Rhodes was classed as a 5*, not true,the rooms were dark and dinghy with travellodge type furniture no tea making facilities and a TV with little choice of channels. The restaurant was like a 1970's works canteen, the evening dress code was none existent, breakfast and lunch was a inedible array of food. All in all this hotel is no better than a 3*.

Me and my boyfriend have just arrived home yesterday from a week at this hotel and we absolutely loved it. We stayed in room 286 at the front of the hotel overlooking the road and it was spotless, spacious and super quiet. The cleaners came to the room every day and always left us with fresh towels. They never knocked when we had the do not disturb sign on but always returned later once we had left The hotel was very busy, I think it might have actually been full as we tried to enquire about changing to a sea view room (this was before we even arrived at the hotel) and were advised they had no availability across any room on our dates, but we never had any issue whatsoever getting a sunbed and we like to sleep in so we were never down there too early. It also didn't ever feel too crowded, there was a lovely relaxing vibe. The pool/beach area itself was spotless too and the views were stunning. Being able to order drinks to the sunbed too was also a bonus and the staff were always very quick to bring them and were always very polite and chatty I can partly agree with the reviews on the food as it was a bit repetitive each day. We did only use the buffet at lunch time to be fair though and a couple of times for breakfast, but it was always fresh and plenty of it. The two al a carte meals we had were very lovely though especially Milonges, that was a nice highlight for us. People moaning about having to queue up for food make me laugh, what do you expect when you book a popular/busy hotel and use the buffet every night? It is not just you who needs to eat. As for the drinks, we thought that they were of the same standard as every other 5 star all inclusive hotel that we have stayed at and we had no issue here. We enjoyed trying all of the cocktails and these and the spirits were just fine. Beer is always a bit rubbish at an all inclusive but if you want premium then you can't really book the all inclusive option and then moan Lastly the staff are honestly a massive credit to this hotel. Every time we saw them they were working so hard and they were always super friendly and helpful with us. I believe having manners and being polite goes a long way, on both sides. They work so hard and deserve to be treated with respect. We would definitely return to this hotel and have already recommended it to our friends and family

Amazing vibe in this hotel, nothing too much trouble.
