Ixia Romantic Hotel

"Celebrating a milestone wedding anniversary, my wife and I stayed in one of the nicest rooms; the SeaPine Flow Suite. We wanted something a bit special for our anniversary and the venue certainly didn’t disappoint. The room was amazing; an enormous open plan space with a super-king sized bed, sofa, two TVs and a wonderful shower, along with a large private pool and sizeable outdoor patio space. We knew from the moment we arrived we knew we’d picked well. Everyone was most welcoming and couldn’t do more for us. Being the largest room must’ve conferred a bit of special attention as everyone seemed to know who we were before we gave our room number for anything. Or perhaps they were all just very welcoming with great memories, but either way, it made us feel very special and well looked after. Special thanks staff; Vasilis and Fereniki - who were both super welcoming and chatty, greeting us with a smile and a cheery “Kalimera” every day at breakfast. In the bar - Elisabeth during the day and Savvas in the evenings, both very attentive with Elisabeth teaching us some Greek phrases and Savvas ferrying a never ending stream of different cocktails each night. Thank you both. It was lovely to be greeted by the hotel manager, Georgios, one night after dinner. And finally at the Meditteraneo restaurant - Ali was a lovely gentleman, wishing us many happy returns on our wedding anniversary itself and was polite and attentive, looking after us for a couple of nights."

"Absolutely wonderful stay! It was my first solo holiday trip in years & I was feeling anxious about going alone. However, I needn't have worried, the staff always made me feel very welcomed & 'at home'. A special shout out to Lulu (Lucrezia) & Nicolas on the Animation team for their positivity & charm! Lulu ran morning stretching classes by the pool & afternoon gentle yoga by the beach. Having yoga on the programme was one of the reasons I opted for this hotel, along with the spa facilities, gym & indoor heated pool. I was given a room upgrade & the room was beautiful, overlooking the pool and sea, with a seated area to relax in with welcome water & fruit. The outdoor pools were very cold but I still braved them everyday & on the last day it was very refreshing from the heat. As a suggestion, it would be nice to have one heated outdoor pool. The indoor pool, jacuzzi & steam rooms were lovely to warm up in after too although could do with a little sprucing up! The staff at the pool bars & lifeguards were also very welcoming & helpful. Thank you to Dennis for finding my bracelets left by the pool & to Lukas & Marios for being lovely waiters :) The food was some of the best I have ever experienced in an all-inclusive buffet style. Plenty of choice & varied each day so as to not get bored. The views from the restaurant were stunning & the staff friendly & efficient. It was nice that they remembered me & that I liked to sit outside. I can't wait to come back! :) "

"It was really great, the staff were amazing and the food was good! There was lots of variations for food and areas to eat! The pools were cold but lovely and the balcony on our room was great to relax!"

"Beautiful place, fantastic service!"

"All good"

"This is a really beautiful, spotlessly clean hotel with a wonderful pool. Our room was upgraded and was huge, with lovely views of the pool and the sea. We had booked bed and breakfast but had intended to eat dinner in the hotel too. Unfortunately this proved to be tricky. I am dairy intolerant and whilst the buffet was clearly labelled, the labelling used 2 different systems and it was time consuming and stressful to find options I could eat. The poolside restaurant we tried had a lovely location but again limited options for me. Staff ensured I could eat the meal provided but it seemed like less thought had gone into the guest experience for those with food allergies or intolerances. For example there were around 25 different breakfast pastries, including 3 or 4 which were gluten free but non which were dairy free. A simpler way of communicating allergy information to staff and a little more thought about guest experience for this could improve things hugely, e.g an allergy card to put on the table so you don’t end up having to constantly re explain. In the end, we ate out in Rhodes as restaurants provided a much less complex experience. There were enough breakfast options to eat but limited variety for me. "

"We had a great time at this lovely villa. The pool area is excellent with plenty of sunbeds for relaxing and tables and chairs for outdoor dining. The property is spacious and well equipped. Our host was very welcoming and helpful. We would happily return here again. "
