We loved every minutes of our stay the staff were all extremely welcoming and nothing was to much effort for them. Its 1 of the nicest hotels I've ever visited the room was amazing and exceptionally clean. The key feature to this hotel personally I believe was the ability to order drinks to the sun beds which gave the holiday a very luxurious feel and the empty cups were always collected before they have any chance of building up. Overall I would 100% rate this hotel a 5* great food, great atmosphere and great staff.

The hotel grounds like the pool and beach is really nice. My room had recently gone through a renovation so it was nice. I cant say that the food was good, the buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner was average at best and they didn't really change the options around each day. As expected the all inclusive alcohol list the use the cheapest spirits so most of it tasted like petrol. I found the staff quite rude and the cleaners three days in a row walked into the room whilst we were sleeping despite do not disturb being on.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The view was stunning, and the amenities were top notch everything from the pool to the lounge areas was well maintained and comfortable. However, the gym was a bit of a letdown. Some of the equipment was outdated or not functioning properly, and it could definitely use some upgrades. Overall, a great experience, but the fitness facilities could be improved.

We recently stayed at The Ixian Grand, and while we enjoyed parts of our holiday, there were definitely a few areas that could be improved.
The outside pool area is absolutely amazing – clean, spacious, and perfect for relaxing in the sun. It’s definitely one of the highlights of the resort.
The food, although lacking in variety, was very tasty and well-prepared. We would have appreciated more options, especially for longer stays, but what was available was of good quality.
However, there were a few downsides. The cocktails were quite disappointing – watered down and lacking flavour, which was a shame considering the resort’s setting. Also, the lobby area is very small, so if the weather isn’t great, there really isn’t much indoor space to relax. We found ourselves stuck in the room a few times because of this.
Another point worth noting is the service – while not unfriendly, we didn’t feel that the staff truly put the customer first. At times it felt like we were more of an inconvenience than a guest, which did impact the overall experience.
Lastly, the stone beach wasn’t to our taste – if you’re a fan of soft sand, this might not be the beach for you.
All in all, The Ixian Grand offers a beautiful poolside setting and delicious meals, but it could be so much better with a few key improvements in service, indoor space, and drink quality.

Just about to leave the room for the final time and writing this review. We booked a short 5 night stay over Easter to grab some sun and this hotel seemed like a great idea.
Overall we have enjoyed our stay and say that hotel is great value for mi ey however a few things to all out:
Negatives:
Hotel is obviously of an age as seems tired in places.
Basics like public toilets not great with either no seats or no locks.
Although all inclusive choice if some drinks is limited, with a reluctances for cocktails.
Food is good although predictable and very much the same each day.
Although on a beach not really a usable beach as no sunbeds on the beach.
Limited evening entertainment with limited seating so meant most would have dinner and an early night
Not enough people service drinks, both at pool bar during the day and again in the evening in the main bar.
Positive:
Never an issue getting a sun lounger
No wrist bands or limitations on things as treated like adults.
Great size pool albeit very cold - but we got used to it.
The main positive point for this hotel is without doubt the people and the willingness to help and provide the best service possible.
For us we are not likely to return as will pay a little more to be closer to town next time, despite this good value for money and we will be leaving relaxed with positive thoughts if our first time in Rhodes.
