Dionysos Hotel - Ixia

From the first moment that we arrived at the hotel until the day that we left,the staff was very polite and helpful!!! The room was very clean,the breakfast was very nice with a lot of fresh fruits and an extensive selection of hot dishes at the buffet every day. Very good coffee at the bar,and the pitta souvlaki was very good as well. Very big and clean pool, my daughter loved it . And another thing that we liked was that there was a lot of green(trees, plants etc...) everywhere in the hotel. In general was an excellent hotel. I want to thank you all for the excellent costumer service that you provided to us,it was amazing.

This was a lovely hotel, food and staff were excellent. The only down side was the mattress was too firm. We did ask if there was a topper available to make it more comfortable and they said they would request housekeeping to bring one to the room. We asked on several occasions but it never arrived. Also there was not enough sun beds around the pool.

Hotel is lovely and well maintained. The pool manager was there with his eagle eye, did not like it if you moved the bed, as soon as you left the bed he was there moving it back into position, and at 18.00 hrs, he wanted everyone gone. There was no daytime activities and nothing for the children to do. There was a sign up asking children not to dive bomb the pool, it was upsetting some of the tourists around the pool, well for gods sake thats what its all about, kids enjoying themselves, if if you dont like it move, there are three pools on the complex with plenty of beds, move to an area a bit quieter.. Staff were very friendly and smart. Food ok. No tea/coffee making machines in the rooms and we were b & b. Very expensive every where, beware they put a tax on everything. Dont be conned on going on a 3 sightseeing trip, The Valley of the Butterflies should come with a health warning, very steep, cobbled steps and no warning about wearing sensible shoes, not suitable for the elderly or young children or babies, found it to be quite dangerous, then went on to Kelthea, beautiful, not much to see, then on to see the peacocks roaming around. You pay for the trip, but they dont tell you about having to pay extra on top to see the attractions and then you have to pay to use the toilet, what a con. The woman on the coach operator never shut up the whole time we were on the bus, got a bit much after a while. Told us all about the yobs in faliraki and what the yobs got up to and how its now changed and what a dump the area is. Rhodes old town is worth seeing, loved the old cobbled streets. Buses are dangerous, packed like sardines, if they had to do a emergency stop youd all be through the window, dreadful, no safety precautions at all, they run regularly so no need to pack it full to the brim. The marina is lovely and but like every where else they tout you for their trips etc. Last but not least is Dennis the resident hotel cat, hes a gorgeous ginger cat who is thoroughly spoilt by everyone, sits on the reception desk and greets all.

Could not understand why, with all the wonderful reviews, Jet2 rated this hotel 3 star plus. It has the most wonderful pool area, lovely restaurants and helpful staff. On arrival we were checked into a top floor room. Preferring a lower floor, we were immediately given another room. Rooms are not luxurious but are clean and tidy. There's a fridge which isn't filled with their stuff for you to buy. One niggle was the towels were a bit thin. Must mention the hotel grounds which are lovely as is the entrance driveway leading to the hotel. One aspect which may have brought down Jet2's rating was breakfast. If like me you look forward to a full english, which hotels abroad have embraced, be prepared for disappointment. Probably a step back to breakfasts as they used to be, i.e. little sausages and fried eggs with no runny yokes. Got the feelinjg that as the clientelle were from all over more effort was going into variety. Oh and for some reason the plates provided were quite small. If the hotel could address some niggles this place would easily score 5 stars. Overall a very good hotel!

The best asset for this hotel is its excellent staff. Family friendly spotlessly clean. Most helpful staff. Beautiful grounds. Short walk to stony beach. Beautiful views. Only short drive from Rhodes Town.
