We rest in the hotel with friends and teenagers. Basically everyone likes it. We managed to go around almost the entire island, we were convinced of the correctness of the choice. I am writing a review on the beach, wi-fi is stable, for teenagers this is important, you understand. Free.
Location. The city of Ixia itself is small, but around the hotel there are shops, taverns in large numbers, car and ATV rentals, windsurfing, etc. No sights, but to Rhodes - the capital of the island - 5 km,
Taxi costs 8 euros, bus 2 euros. And there is already a real tourist party, there is something to see.

Yes! When choosing a hotel in Rhodes, keep in mind that there is always a breeze on the Aegean coast, so in summer it is easier to endure the heat, and there is always a little excitement on the sea. The Mediterranean Sea is very calm and transparent, but its coast is even hotter and there is less vegetation. And the pebbles and sand on the beaches are warmed up so that it is impossible to sit even with a towel.
Rooms. We live by the standard. The room is large, divided by an openwork partition, behind it is a sofa on which a child sleeps. Sea view = view of the highway, noisy at night. Clean clean, linen and towels are good, put even more than you need. There is a family room, they are two-story, but there are not enough of them, we didn’t get it. With two children, they do not settle in the standard. There are also suites with small pools, but they cost some unrealistic money.
Beach and pools. Beach across the road! Go through a small tunnel, 20 meters. But on the beach there is not only sand and pebbles, but also grass and trees, which is very important at a temperature of +35C. Under the trees on the grass, you can lie all day quite calmly.
There are five pools - three open below, one on the 11th floor, on the mountain, there is also a children's pool, and one in the spa, closed. Trees grow around the pools too, beauty! Sun beds are better to take in the morning, but in principle there is enough space for everyone.
The sea is warm, but there are always small waves, a little muddy from the rising sand. The entrance to the water is pebbly, gentle, and then the bottom is sandy.
Nutrition. Normal. Nothing surprising, but enough food, no hustle. Not enough fish, but fruits, sweets, meat - in abundance. If you have HB, then dinner can be exchanged for lunch - very convenient. You can also grab a bite to eat at the pool bar. Two double-layer sandwiches with ham and cheese, garnished
French fries and salad cost 3.50 euros. Children can hardly eat one such portion together. The only negative is dinner until 22-00, and they start cleaning food from 21-15! Never seen anything like this before.
The main restaurant on the 10th floor has a huge open terrace overlooking the sea. It is wonderfully pleasant to have breakfast and dinner there, it is very beautiful at sunset.

Animation. I won’t say anything in detail, because we entertain ourselves. There are animators, even Russian-speaking ones, there is a kids club, but honestly, I don’t know what and how it is. Live music, dancing, shows - it's all there, but as usual in Europe, everything is very unobtrusive.
In a word, everything is fine. For a family vacation - it's the best. Traveling around the island is also a must, but that's a completely different story.
