Hi
I know the Solemar very well as i used to be the Rep there and even lived at the hotel for a while. It's very central for the bars, restaurants, etc of Ixia and close to the bus stop for Rhodes Town.
The hotel is basic and a bit dated but clean, friendly and good value for money. Pool area is quite pleasant and it's only about 5 minutes or so to the beach. Ixia is on the west coast which is the breezier side of the island but you'll find that to be very much a plus point in the heat of August.
The one negative with this hotel (and numerous others in Ixia) is that it's close to the main coast road so rooms at the front do suffer a bit from traffic noise. Didn't really effect me but if you're a light sleeper it might.
