While reading the reviews, I realized that many people think that it is too late to write them now. I, for one, have a different opinion. The best vacation is well planned, so we always book hotels in advance and choose a country, so that later we can be sure that we will definitely settle in the room we want and enjoy our vacation. Early booking is definitely our type of vacation. So, in order. We rested in August 2015 at the Ihsian Grand Hotel in Rhodes. Again, each five costs differently, so we expected something like what we saw. I must say right away that the service here is excellent and the food is also at the level. Of course, the Greek cuisine that is prepared in taverns is better, but hotel food is hotel food because it is prepared for the majority of guests, and not for one. The breakfasts are very tasty. Lots of pastries, sweets, natural yoghurts. You can’t buy these from us, and there are all sorts of jams for them, honey. Breakfast is definitely 5+. On the second day after arrival, we had dinner at the a la carte restaurant. We also read on the site that you need to book in advance, so we took care of our place immediately on the day of arrival. Yes, I also want to say that we arrived at 12 noon and thought that we would have to wait for check-in. Luckily, the room was already ready and we checked in right away. Very cool wine is served everywhere. Moreover, the hotel is no worse than in a tavern. I was surprised. Usually hotels serve the cheapest. Unless, of course, you order a bottle yourself. None of the staff speak Russian. But we had a girl - a guide in the hotel, who helped with the translation, if necessary. And so, I think that if you are going abroad, then you need to know at least a couple of words in English. otherwise it will be very difficult, no matter how cool the company you have. Personally, I was impressed by the pools. Beautifully made. There are two of them and they seem to be merged together. It is a pity that nothing was invented for the children, but Greek evenings with dances and music were held 2 times a week. And so, if you want to feel the Greek flavor, then go for a walk in the village - there are 5 minutes on foot or you can go to Rhodes. A taxi costs 10 euros, and a bus ticket is about 2. There will definitely be enough entertainment there. In my opinion, it is quite a decent hotel.

Hello. Several days have passed since we returned from vacation, but the emotions do not go away, so I want to share my impressions. We have already rested several times in Greece, but for some reason always on the island of Crete. This year we decided to visit the island of Rhodes. We heard a lot of good things about him and take my word for it, we were not mistaken.

Hello. Several days have passed since we returned from vacation, but the emotions do not go away, so I want to share my impressions.
We have already rested several times in Greece, but for some reason always on the island of Crete. This year we decided to visit the island of Rhodes. We heard a lot of good things about him and take my word for it, we were not mistaken. The most beautiful island. Incredibly beautiful nature, and the sea is blue as in the pictures. What is interesting here are 2 seas: the Aegean and the Mediterranean. We chose a hotel on the Aegean side. Hotel Sentido Ixian Grand 5*. We really liked the hotel. We had a room with an amazing sea view. And the hotel itself is beautiful.
The hotel staff is beyond praise. You really feel like you're on vacation. When you get there, say hello to Michalis from the reception. He was always the first to answer any of our questions. Very pleasant to deal with. The hotel has Russian-speaking staff, which is important.
An important remark of my husband, which upset me a little, is that the cuisine here is wonderful. Every evening they tried to come up with something new and interesting in different styles. An evening of Italian cuisine, Chinese, Hawaiian, and the most interesting is the Greek evening. We pass by the pool on the street. Tables are set around, a lot of different meats are fried in the fresh air, all this is accompanied by Greek music and Sirtaki dances.
Live music evenings are held in the lobby. Relax with a good glass of wine. In general, we recommend

I am very satisfied with my vacation this year, so I hasten to share my impressions. Rested with a friend in Rhodes in Sentido Ixian Grand. Real 5*. Lovely hotel, wonderful staff and very attentive receptionist. All requests were answered immediately and carried out literally within 20 minutes. But it is not important. Let me tell you about the hotel itself. from the very beginning, as soon as we arrived, the pool caught my eye. There they are, one might say, two in one with a wooden partition in the middle. It looks very nice, and most importantly, comfortable. Not as slippery as tile and doesn't get too hot from the heat. Nice beach right next to the hotel. Umbrellas and sun loungers are free, and there are no locals on the beach. Only tourists of this hotel. I read a lot that Greeks often come to the beaches on weekends, because they are all municipal and only umbrellas belong to the hotel itself, therefore there are paid sun loungers there. Although, I think that if you have a cocktail in a bar, then everything is not so scary. What can I say about the number. The designer really did his best. We had an all white room. At first I was upset. I thought that I would definitely find some kind of dirt here. But no. Everything is clean, fresh bed linen, towels. They clean up well. We took food "all inclusive". I still don't know if this is good or bad. Year after year is not necessary, as well as hotels are all different. Somewhere we are glad that we eat such yummy every day, but somewhere we regret that we spent so much money on terrible food. In this case, we were very pleased. Constant cooking shows at dinner is something. In general, a lot of themed evenings. The animation is great and unobtrusive. The guys are great. I can tell you a lot more, but I think no one will read it to the end. But we are very pleased.

There is absolutely no sport, not even ping pong (they saved themselves by renting a car and riding around the skeleton)
We will not return to this hotel again, although we will definitely come to Rhodes (while riding, we looked at another hotel on the Mediterranean coast, which suits us better)

A year has passed, but the impressions remain. It seems to me that this happens to almost everyone who has ever visited Greece. Indeed, it is impossible not to fall in love with this country. We rested at the Sentido Ixian Grand hotel in Rhodes. The first thing I can say is five is five. Everything here is top notch. (I haven’t been to Turkey, so I’m incredibly delighted. Neighbors said that 5 * in Turkey is better, but I don’t really believe it, to be honest). The pool here is very cool. It is almost on the sea. That is, first the fables and the beach immediately begins. You can sunbathe here and there. A small drawback of the beach is the stones. But this is not even a disadvantage if you are resting without children. You can put on rubber shoes and swim safely. The beach itself is big. There were always enough beds. Food at the highest level. There is food for every taste. Particularly pleased were the days when the hotel held a Greek evening. Then there was a lot of seafood and other goodies (for 10 rest 1 time was). Yes, there are few children here. This place is just for an older audience. Very comfortably. It takes about 10 minutes to drive to the capital of the island. That is, you can always find entertainment. And there are a lot of tours for sale. We are satisfied. This year friends are going to the same hotel.

We rested in a simply insanely beautiful hotel in Rhodes in September 2013 (Sentido Ixian Grand 5 *). Everything looks great in the pictures, but, believe me, in life it is no less beautiful. There is a lot of greenery, several pools, and the territory itself is also huge. The beach is literally a stone's throw from the hotel, but it is pebbly, although sunbeds are free, so you can safely sunbathe without thinking about anything.

There is a lot of greenery, several pools, and the territory itself is also huge. The beach is literally a stone's throw from the hotel, but it is pebbly, although sunbeds are free, so you can safely sunbathe without thinking about anything. We rented a car, and the beach was not particularly important to us, because we constantly went to others. In Greece, they are all municipal, so you can relax on any that you like. And on ours we bought slippers for the sea. They are inexpensive, now I don’t even remember how much they cost, but the price won’t hit you for sure.
About food - a separate conversation. In principle, everything is delicious, but some dishes look completely unappetizing. There was not enough fish and seafood. In 5 * it would be possible to serve more. But, in general, it's not so sad. The wines are very tasty, but quite expensive. Although, not far from the hotel there are a couple of supermarkets where you can buy for 5 euros not a glass, but a whole bottle of quite decent wine. Everything in the room is great. The room itself is huge. For 2 people, as for me, even too much. Clean well, including the balcony. We had a room with a sea view. So, the morning always started with a cup of coffee on the balcony (by the way, it is furnished). I think romantics will understand me. And even more I was impressed by the presence of a jacuzzi in the room. Of course, you can not spend money on these trifles, but swimming in a jacuzzi and admiring the sea is an unforgettable experience. Wi-Fi catches even on the beach. This did not please me too much, because my husband was constantly on the Internet, even on vacation. So, if you want to spend time without the benefits of civilization, then it’s better not to tell your companions about the presence of the Internet. Along the sea there are palm trees and good sunbeds. So, you lie under a palm tree, watch the surf and enjoy the rest. Towels are provided free of charge and in the quantity you need. To be honest, I don’t even know what bad can be written about this hotel. Everything was wonderful. The staff is nice, they smile and set you up for positive. They will always help if there are any problems. The broken air conditioner was fixed the next day. The holiday was a success, I think. Hope the review was helpful.

We spent the May holidays at the hotel. Loved the hotel and would love to return. Before the trip, read the reviews on various sites. We join the positive assessments: a wonderful option for a family holiday.
In addition to standard rooms, the hotel has suites with a private pool. Tourists staying in suites eat at a separate restaurant.
The territory of the hotel is green and well-groomed, there are many ornamental shrubs and flowering plants. In the main restaurant, the wall facing the sea is completely glass, offering a beautiful view.
The food is good. I agree that the breakfast menu is repeated, but the choice of dishes is large, so you can choose a new option every day. Dinners are varied, food is fresh, deliciously cooked, 4-5 types of meat, 3-4 fish and seafood, various side dishes, a lot of vegetables and fruits, delicious pastries. I liked Greek yogurt, it was often offered with pieces of fruit. I really liked Greek cuisine.
By the way, not far from the hotel there is a large supermarket with quite reasonable prices, tourists and locals often visit it.
Our room was spacious and clean, daily cleaning, but the bed linen was not changed every day, sometimes it was just neatly tucked in. Cosmetics were updated regularly.
We really liked the service at the hotel, the staff is polite, we have never encountered a situation where our request would not be fulfilled. Reading the negative reviews, I thought that perhaps the language barrier could have played a role (in my opinion, the staff does not speak Russian), or the tourists themselves were not polite enough when solving their problem and provoked a conflict.
The hotel has a beautiful beach area, sun beds are on the grass under straw umbrellas. At the time when we were relaxing, there were no problems with places on the beach, you could always find free ones. In the morning, however, the mattresses were sometimes wet (for some reason, the staff washes them along with the sunbeds). A constant breeze blows in Ixia, be careful with sunbathing - it is easy to get burned, because all the time you will feel a pleasant coolness.
There are many places to visit in Rhodes. The island is really interesting. We visited the island of Symi, Lindos, Rhodes, traveled around the island itself.
People go to Symi to visit the temple of the Architrategos Michael and see the town itself, the colorful houses of which strive up the mountainside, and also to taste the famous Sim shrimp.
Lindos is known for the fact that it was in this city that the holy Apostle Paul moored ashore when he preached in the countries of the Mediterranean. There are many cozy quiet bays where the sea is shallow and the water is always warm. On the mountain is the Acropolis, to the foot of which you can drive up on a donkey (for 5 euros). The views of Lindos are very picturesque.
You need to go to the city of Rhodes several times, for 1 time you can’t get around and see everything. There are many ancient monuments of architecture, the Old Town and the Palace of the Grand Master in it, the Archaeological Museum, an aquarium, Rodini Park...
Public transport works well in Rhodes, there are many taxis (from Ixia to Rhodes a bus ticket costs 2.2 euros, a taxi ride is 10 euros) and you can rent a car, so there are no problems with moving around the island.
Excursions, as elsewhere, can be ordered from a guide at a hotel or bought in any locality at a tour agency (this, of course, is much cheaper, sometimes 2 times cheaper). You can also drive on your own.
We had booked excursions from the company "Millennium Travel", but, unfortunately, we were very unlucky with the guide. INNA PAKHOMOVA, in principle, does not understand what her job as a guide is, but she feels great in the field of trade. Sales is, indeed, her talent, she devotes most of her time to this on excursions (a leather goods store, sponges, even a church shop at the temple). At the same time, she constantly talks about something, without giving any really valuable information about Rhodes itself and its sights. She did not respond to our polite remarks about this. We contacted the company through a guide at the hotel, they refunded us the money for the next 2 ordered excursions and apologized to us. For other tourists (in other hotels and from the Pegasus company), the return of money caused difficulties and they received not the entire amount, but only a part. Therefore, I do not recommend INNA PAKHOMOVA as a guide, it's just a waste of your money (the cost of these excursions is 45.50 and 65 euros per person).
This was the only problem during our entire holiday. We really liked the country and the people, we will be happy to return to Greece again.

In October 2012 I had a rest in Rhodes. In this hotel, for the first time in my life I saw such a boorish attitude of the staff towards guests, complete disregard although they arrived for the night and waited for 2 hours until they brought two narrow strips, it is unclear what it was, the robe, which must be numbered, was also worn for two days until ten times I remembered, the restaurant has long queues until you come in, and first put European tourists.

When it was time to move out, the staff at the reception ignored us completely and did not even say goodbye. The food in the restaurant is monotonous and not tasty. Excursions saved the rest. I do not wish anyone to be in this hotel.

Rested with my husband together, in Greece is not the first time. We really liked the country and therefore decided to go again. The first time was in Crete. This year we decided to visit Rhodes. Now we know for sure that we will not go to Rhodes again. Nature is poorer than in Crete, people are even lazier....Especially there was nowhere to go and there was no particular desire, since the hotel "amazed" us....I won’t write much, I’ll just list the reasons why we don’t come here anymore we'll be back.
1. We arrived on my birthday and were surprised that the hotel did not attract attention in any way. Although other hotels offer guests a fruit basket and wine just as a compliment from the hotel. Here they even refused to change our room. We were disappointed because the room overlooked the road, dust, noise and the inability to sleep with an open balcony, the air conditioner blew directly on the bed and it was not possible to turn it on at night, that's how we slept.....2. The room itself was dark, not cozy, such rooms should not be in hotels at all, even if they are standard. the probability of staying in the rooms of spider bugs. they are raw inside, the dough is not yet fried!! ! The dishes are dirty, unwashed. Fu. 4. The beach. The only good thing is that the main area of the beach is on the grass. But the staff does not use this advantage to the end, because for our 9 days the garbage that was lying in certain places there and remained all our rest, the mattresses are torn and old, the umbrellas are already yes, beach towels do not even want to discuss. 5. I have never seen hotels that lack toilets in the central hall and near the restaurant. The toilet is only on the beach and there are 2 cabins for each floor. so imagine what is being done there in the evening, because they don’t like to clean in this hotel. 6. On our last day, they did not even want to renew the room for money, strange. Here we sat for 5 hours on the couch and watched people sunbathe..... 6. The sea in Greece is beautiful everywhere, and especially in August, because of it the Greeks survive.

In Greece, we rest not for the first time. Before that, they were in Crete, once on the east coast, the second on the west. Greece is delighted, almost love at first sight. This year we decided to see Rhodes, especially since many people praised it, they traveled more than once. For my part, I insisted on a vacation in Spain, but my husband stood his ground - Greece and that's it.

This year we decided to see Rhodes, especially since many people praised it, they traveled more than once. For my part, I insisted on a vacation in Spain, but my husband stood his ground - Greece and that's it. Anyway. . .
So, the departure of the Windrose was postponed from 16.30 to 18.30, so already at the departure we realized that we didn’t have time for dinner . . but oh well . . happiness is not in food. Windrose as always . . (((In addition to the plane was delayed for another 30 minutes, that is, we arrived in Rhodes at about 9.30 pm We received our luggage without any problems, at the information desk a package with information. , but nice. We and 1 other couple (their hotel was not far from ours) were made happy with a transfer in a C-class Mercedes.
The hotel is 10 minutes drive from the airport. In the dark it was difficult to appreciate the landscape of Rhodes and the place where we were being taken. And then through the night I saw a tiny sign with an arrow The Ixian Grand, which, apparently, showed the direction of the hotel.
They settled us quickly, rumpled for 5-10, forced us to leave a deposit of 100 euros in case we drink drinks in the bar-restaurant (room), which are worth noting, the hotel is not cheap. Having received 2 keys to the room and 2 cards for beach towels, we took the elevator to room 322 (4th floor, because the 1st floor is zero). There was no one to help with the luggage. Apparently, the porters were busy, or they had a day off))). Through the travel agency booked De Luxe overlooking the garden. And then another surprise awaited us - we open the room, go out to the balcony, and there..... view of the pool and the sea !!!! ! The sound of the surf, the smell of the sea immediately relieve fatigue, negative emotions. . .
Room. Rating 4+. Spacious, 1 large bed. Fully corresponds to the photo of the hotel on its website. Bathrobes in the room (no slippers), all bath accessories were available. The bathroom was a little surprised - a shower cabin, but there was no 1 wing of the door . . that is, it was not provided. Which was strange... because. taking a shower, all the water poured on the floor ((((. Cleaned daily, not always of high quality. The bed was changed 3 times in 7 days. A tip of 1 euro did not radically change anything. But, by and large, there is nothing to complain about.
After a quick change of clothes, we decided to explore the territory of the hotel. We walked and wandered and got lost on the territory of the Suites with private pools. To be honest, the pool area of several square meters did not impress me much, and I did not even regret that I had booked a room in the main building. By the way, with the balcony open from the street, the sounds of the main air conditioner were heard, and it hummed 24 hours a day. But it doesn't matter. . . ))) We went outside from the side of the main entrance, so to speak, to see the territory from the outside. After passing metro 10, my nose heard the smell of horses, or rather, horse manure))))) No matter how it is. I could not understand what it was and where this smell came from (((((((((((((((.
In the morning the situation cleared up. It turns out that the area that adjoins the hotel (across the path, 5 meters wide) serves as a haven for several HORSES !!! ! That is, they are not stray, but tied, standing there, chewing something . . Just something is incomprehensible. In addition to burnt grass and stones, there is nothing there. It became funny to me)))))))))). Well, how is it !!!!!!!!! ! Hotel 5*!!! ! And Horse Dung didn't fit in my head.
Meals. "5" Meals we had breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is standard European, it has already been written about, nothing special, but no one was hungry. Although... stop! Apple strudel with cinnamon and powdered sugar is definitely. . . indescribably delicious. I highly recommend it. Drinks at breakfast are free. Coffee is okay, everything else... mm . . so-so. There are no fresh juices, the juice, like yupi, was terrible. By the way, fresh orange in the city is 2 euros. Just super. The abundance of fruits for breakfast, dinner, was also pleasing - watermelons, melons, apples, kiwi, oranges, grapefruits, arina nect, bananas. Dinner pleased with its assortment. Several types of meat (pork, veal, lamb, rabbit, chicken, duck), fish (fried salmon steaks, as well as sea and ocean fish in the range) daily, pasta, pasta with seafood, paella with clams, sushi (bad), drinks paid for dinner. Water 1 l - 3.5 euros, wine (small bottle - 285 ml) - 5 euros. A lot of sweets, fruits, hot soups, several types. there are comrades who occupy tables at 2 for 4 and even for 6.
Waking up early in the morning on the first day, we went out onto the balcony and noticed that at 7 am, people quickly go to the beach and take the best places. Oh, how it looks like OURS! Although, why throw a barrel on ours, everyone is running, both ours and foreigners. As if the sunbeds will jump somewhere and you will have to lie on the grass or on a rocky beach. It should be noted that these actions are due to the lack of sunbeds, because the people who wake up at 10 are forced to wind circles in search of free sunbeds, which by that time are no longer there. Okay, a sunbed is such a thing, but here's an umbrella... after 11-12 it is simply necessary, because. it bakes wildly. You burn yourself instantly also due to the constant wind, which even intensifies in the second half. The beach is a large pebble, without special slippers it is really uncomfortable. The sea... The sea in Greece is one of the main advantages. The Aegean Sea on the west coast, in my subjective opinion, is much more beautiful and even warmer than the Mediterranean on the east. It is white-turquoise-blue-blue. The beauty is incredible, especially when viewed from some kind of elevation (hill, mountain). Having visited the beaches of the eastern coast (Tsambika beach, Lindos beach, Kallithea and Filaraki beaches), I came to the conclusion that the landscape and the sea 1 in 1 resembles my native Crimea. Honestly. The sea, however, is cleaner and transparent, it is simply faded compared to the Aegean Sea)))). To make such long trips, we rented a Peugeot 107 car for 3 days for 105 euros at the hotel. It was myself the best price-quality. For 3 days we dashed off about 400 km, the car ate 15 liters of fuel at a price of 1.7 euros. We were swimming on the Shell. The contract is in English (essentially 1 sheet of A4), where full insurance is registered. Violating the rules of DD in Greece is expensive, a fine of 500 euros. For settlements, the restrictions are 50 km / h, and sometimes 30 km / h.
Territory "5-" and location "3-".
The territory of the hotel is actually well-groomed, green, order everywhere. But she's small. But the location... this is a separate "song". The hotel is located between Ixia and Ialyssos. But up to 1 and up to 2, either a long walk, 15-20 minutes (and this is in the heat), or go. A supermarket (quite cheap) is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. But the road leading to the nearest civilization runs along the street with 1 side movement, and moving away from the hotel 200-300 meters stinks of carrion, and bones, skulls are lying on the side of the road... Chih? Hard to say. but again. . . is it close to a 5* hotel??? ? Hmm. . The Greeks are snickering!!! ! By the way, if we were given the room that we booked, then our windows would either look out on that path above the main passage, where the smell of horses came from))) or on the main road. The spectacle, to put it mildly, is not very good ((((
You can write for a long time. We had a good rest, sunbathed, bathed. The main thing is to tune in to the positive and not pay special attention to such "little things". Otherwise, it's a pipe. But there is no more desire to go to Rhodes. Not because the hotel did not live up to expectations. But because 1 visit is enough. There are places where it pulls (even if not 2 times in a row, but after some time). Rhodes did not become such a place for us, as well as Egypt. But one day, it’s probably worth visiting.
If anyone has any questions, write in a personal, I will try to answer. I will definitely post a photo. Good luck to all and have a good rest.
So, the departure of the Windrose was postponed from 16.30 to 18.30, so already at the departure we realized that we didn’t have time for dinner . . but oh well . . happiness is not in food. Windrose as always . . (((In addition to the plane was delayed for another 30 minutes, that is, we arrived in Rhodes at about 9.30 pm We received our luggage without any problems, at the information desk a package with information. , but nice. We and 1 other couple (their hotel was not far from ours) were made happy with a transfer in a C-class Mercedes.
The hotel is 10 minutes drive from the airport. In the dark it was difficult to appreciate the landscape of Rhodes and the place where we were being taken. And then through the night I saw a tiny sign with an arrow The Ixian Grand, which, apparently, showed the direction of the hotel.
They settled us quickly, rumpled for 5-10, forced us to leave a deposit of 100 euros in case we drink drinks in the bar-restaurant (room), which are worth noting, the hotel is not cheap. Having received 2 keys to the room and 2 cards for beach towels, we took the elevator to room 322 (4th floor, because the 1st floor is zero). There was no one to help with the luggage. Apparently, the porters were busy, or they had a day off))). Through the travel agency booked De Luxe overlooking the garden. And then another surprise awaited us - we open the room, go out to the balcony, and there..... view of the pool and the sea !!!! ! The sound of the surf, the smell of the sea immediately relieve fatigue, negative emotions. . .
