We just got back from the Ixian Grand being very disappointed with our stay. We had booked through our agent, after seeing the hotel site and photos and were actually wondering what could go wrong on a 5* vacation. Well, the beach is awful, full of rocks, no sand at all ( I have even cut a finger while bathing)... more

The hotel is situated down a very scuffy road just off the main coast road from the airport to Rhodes Town. This approach road is dirty and edged with abandoned bars and shops, half built properties, derelict properties, an abandoned car, piles of rubbish, road building materials and unused building plots. Crossing the main coast road is hazardous due to... more

Looks good, but not much behind the facade. No details in the room of amenities. Floor in reception devilishly slippy; entertainment very poor - one Greek singer twice a week...you can only listen to so many greek tunes...;nowhere else to go locally for entertainment; drink prices extortionate, inc 7 times price for water than local supermarket - I don't class... more

To summarise: Room - good once we got an upgrade. Hotel - stylish, well maintained, good staff, very quiet. Pool - excellent, plenty of sunbeds, near sea. Resort - Ixia a ten minute walk away down a dark road - seemed a run down area. Plenty of bars and restaurants but you had to cross a busy road. 15 minute... more

We booked directly on the internet with the hotel and I think we were upgraded to a sea-facing room with a nice view and a lot of space. The room was simply furnished in a Mediterranean style with good lighting (once you found out how to work it!), a safe and a bath/jacuzzi. The air conditioning was effective. It was,... more

THE IXIAN GRAND 1-8 Oct 2008 We reviewed many hotels before booking the Ixian Grand for our one previous holiday week in the year. We read conflicting reviews about the Ixian Grand so obviously apprenhensive when we arrived. We are 2 professional women who are desperate for a week's break in the sun and it was important to choose a... more

We just got back from two weeks in the greek islands and turkey where we stayed 3 nights at the Grand. We really enjoyed our stay. We picked a 'superior' room which was a steal at $95 Canadian. It was large, spotless and had a nice balcony although since it was in the garden section, the view was nothing special.... more

What do you expect of a 5 star hotel ? A doorman to meet and great you - help you with your suitcases -? not here More than one person on reception when a whole coach load of you arrive? not here room service? not here evening turn down service with fresh towels? not here Laundry and pressing service ?... more

We just came back from a two week holiday at the Ixian Grand. We have stayed in a suite with a shared pool and had half board. Hotel: ===== The hotel was previously run under a different name and one can really see the age of the main building of the hotel. The suites were mostly built in 2007. The... more
