The Ixian Grand

We stayed mid October and really enjoyed our stay .As most say the food and staff are great can't believe the negative reviews.The evening entertainment was also really good compared to some hotels we have stayed in. Its a easy 10 minute to the main road if you want to catch a bus into the old town and also a 10 minute walk into Ixia or Llalyso, by road or pebbled beach. We would defiantly return. We had a sea view above the restaurant but was still very quite.

Wonderful hotel! We had a fantastic week here, absolutely nothing to fault. Rooms were basic (we booked a basic one) but comfortable and cleaned to a high standard. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Poolside etc is great, never had any trouble getting a lounger, 2 pools and the sea to choose from, drinks delivered to you, snack bar open all day. Buffet restaurant was really good, I found the variety decent each night, always something new to try, one of the better buffets I’ve been to. The Greek al a carte was incredible, went there for our last night - you order your main in advance and then the rest is a tasting menu with half a dozen courses, each was delicious. Good location, Ixia itself I didn’t think much of, but you’re so close to Rhodes town. Cheap bus can be booked from the hotel into the town, and the onsite car hire with galaxy with so convenient. Loved our stay, and would absolutely return in the future

We spent 2 weeks at Iaxian Grand Hotel recently. We had an inland facing room which was nice and spacious but was lacking in storage. Hotel was very clean and tidy. The main restaurant was very repetitive, same type of meals and not always hot. All the hotel staff were very helpful, friendly and polite. There were two barman who need a mention, they are Petros who worked the day shift and in the evening the head barman and his team. They were always helpful and friendly. They worked constantly to keep the wait to a minimum. The Hotel was situated a short walk from a few bars and the main strip. If you go out of the hotel and turn right, then left there is Phillips bar on the right where you will find a very warm welcome, they do meals and sell English canned beers. The hotel has a coach/mini bus service into Rhodes Town which you book via the app on the reception desk. It cost €8 return, this is well organised both ends and drops you near the harbour. The Hotel grounds and swimming pool area are well kept, pleasant and on a pebble beach. There are plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. Entertainment is outside around the pool, they had a varying range of acts each night. We had a lovely relaxing holiday.

Overall, I’d say a 7 out of 10. Firstly, my usual gripe on 5-star ratings. There is no official yardstick so can only compare with others rated as 5-star. This just isn't - maybe a 4 at best?. Room construction / layout / materials quality not 5-star. Pools / reception area close though, very nice. All inclusive : Food not great and repetitive, drinks quality below average and the usual watered-down variants. Restaurant felt like a school dinner hall after the first couple of nights and having to wait for an outside table quickly became boring. Nightly entertainment variable (and on weekly repeat loop…) Managed to get a sunbed at anytime (unusual and a plus) but pools were cold (sea was warmer). Beach small but nice view, rocky though so couldn’t just walk into sea bare-footed. Staff generally OK – reception / reception bar and cleaners all good, others a bit perfunctory. Our 2nd try at all-inclusive and probably our last, the lack of choice, quality of food / drink; lack of individuality and feeling of being tied into the facility not really worth the perceived value for money. We did meet / hear several groups who were on their multiple return to this hotel so for some it clearly hits the mark.

My partner and I stayed here for a week in October and had a really lovely time. We're both vegan and I'm lactose intolerant, so we knew there might not always be options for us to eat every night — but I have to say, the staff were amazingly helpful with this. I want to particularly mention and thank Chefs Giota and Angel, who came to speak to us personally every day to make sure there were vegan/dairy-free options available. And if there weren't any, they offered to prepare three-course meals for us, which were all absolutely incredible. A truly remarkable level of care and service for their guests.

This was my fourth stay at this amazing hotel in Greece, and once again it was truly special! Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back — the welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional service make it feel like a home away from home.|A wonderful surprise this time was an invitation from the hotel owner to one of the best fish restaurants in Rhodes — a lovely gift for loyal returning guests. Such a thoughtful gesture made my stay even more memorable.|I’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our stay was absolutely wonderful—truly one of the best hotels we’ve ever visited. The service was exceptional from start to finish. We would especially like to thank George from the Night Shift, the manager, for being incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We also want to mention Maria, the waitress, whose kindness and professionalism made every meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We stayed for 7 nights all inclusive. The room was comfortable & well kept, room service was respectful & everyone was always welcoming. The images of foods shown are from the sushi restaurant on site but all foods had while we stayed were stunning quality, you can tell they all really care about quality. If you're a cat person, there's many cats all around the hotel, most are friendly and love a cuddle, we very much went out of our way to buy some food for them from the local shop. Public transport is incredibly easy & takes you into old and new town for a day pass it's €6 or of you just want a one way trip it's €3. I would definitely recommend getting public transport over a tour bus situation, it's cheaper & you have no time constraints this way. 10/10 recommended.
