Second time in Olympic Palace Hotel. Staff amazing, rooms spotless, nothing too much for staff. A good variety with meals loads of choices. My best part of all was the massage and spa, I thought it was expensive until you go in and use all the facilities. Staff amazing and was worth every penny. I would recommend this hotel and especially the spa and massage candles. Can't wait to book are next visit.

This Hotel is the best Hotel I personally have stayed in,its spotlessly clean ,the staff are happy helpful and nothing is a problem .The food is excellent with plenty to choose from, I must mention Parismo the matradee ,what a lovely man and the waiter Andreas was spot on with his service ,along with Morfi .The rooms are spacious and cleaned to a high standard everyday. The pools are clean and sunbeds a plenty. Love this place.
Hotel tip: Tip the waiters ,they deserve it.

half board, is ok for one week, but then it can get repetative. a wide choice, but catered for the germans.
having changed our evening meal for a lunch time meal was a bad choice, dont do it..and your not allowed to take the water you purchased in their shop in to have with your meal.
the room was cleaned every day and to a good standard. fresh towels floors washed and beds made up.
the beach is a stones throw away, but be carefull of the road to it, the cars will stop if you step onto the road. watch out for the motorbikes though they whizz past at a fast speed.
rhodes town is a short taxi ride away, it will cost you 7 euros . and well worth at least spending a whole day there.
make sure you have plenty of money, everything is at least double the price of things.
in ixia there is a cool breeze blowing all the time, and especially welcome at the beach.
the beach is made up of large pebbles, you can buy beach shoes for 5 euros, so you can wear them into the sea and walk on the pebbles without falling over.
the hotel staff were polite and friendly.
the annimation team were excellent. you must have at least one game with them, they work very hard. julio, andy, katie and laura..a big cheer for you all..

We stayed for 11 nights half board at The Olympic palace. Arrived at 4 am after 4 hour delay at Gatwick.Our room was at the front, so we had a lovely sea view at no extra cost.
When we booked, Thomas Cook said we could have a free upgrade to sea view if available. Thank goodness, we were so lucky.some people paid 130 euros to upgrade to sea view.
This hotel is lovely. I would definately go back there.
The food was absolutely fantastic. Not a chip in sight, unless you asked your waiter to order them specially.Our waiter was brilliant. He was so friendly, the restaurant was bright and full of life. There was everything you could imagine to eat, both breakfast and dinner. We ate like kings.......AAAAHHHHH
The pool area was very nice, 2 pools plus the baby pool, indoor pool also. we went August bank holiday, would recommend this date as the hotel starts to get a little less busy.
We never had any trouble getting sunbeds.Not a great deal to do in Ixia.get the bus to Rhodes town , we went in the evening and during the day, what a beautiful place...go to the waterpark at Faliraki,bus to rhodes town then free bus to waterpark.we had a fantastic time in Rhodes. book Thomas cook for the free child place as this saved us heaps and got us the sea view room.
You wont regret going here, eat well, drink well, so much sunshine,friendly people...

Just returned from Rhodes this week and thought the hotel was excellent value, although definitely only 4*. We had a last minute deal and had pre-booked and paid extra for a sea view (an absolute must, because rooms at the rear look onto a cliff face!). The large balcony was private and and the room very spacious, with an extra area including a settee/bed, with small table & chairs.
Daily maid service, with sheets and towels changed every day and kept very clean. The rooms could do with updating though and some new furniture and bedcovers wouldn't go amiss. Bed and pillows very comfortable!
The food was some of the best quality we've ever experienced at a Greek 4* hotel. Breakfast was what you would expect to get: fruit, yogurt, cereal, full English, cold meats, croissants, cake etc, but the real treat was having a good selection of food for the evening meal. What a change from the normal 'canteen type food' you often get in hotels. There was always plenty of choice on the buffet, along with a chef cooking some specials and also very often they offered a separate al la carte menu too, at no extra cost to HB guests. Service in the resaurant was excellent and half a carafe of house red was 5 Euros.
We didn't experience the hotel entertainment, preferring to spend the evening at one of the local bars. Plenty of sun beds around the pool, although it was end of September when we stayed and I suspect the hotel was not full.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks this summer after the first day we were asking for a transfer !
Rooms are terrible if rigsby from rising damp had shown me in I could understand. Food little or no chose not always buffet as stated waiter served choice of 2 meals meat or chicken with mashed potato and mixed frozen veg, tables were not cleared whilst eating, we once reached 8 plates on our table.
No air conditioning in hotel used apart from reception,
dull dim dirty rooms, 70s decor, rank carpets, no fresh juice at breakfast(squash), croissants do not exist here, water melon and grapes for 2 weeks night and day.
The pool is a joke the water was so cloudy you could barely see through it, I dived down to the bottom one day and the filth that was down there was shocking all the filters were clogged up. My son was sick after 3 days and I swear it was that water.
The beach opposite is described as gently shelving shingle and sand more like shingle rock and fag butts not pleasant do yourself a favour and stay at the Rhodos palace up the road now that is a 5 star hotel not like this dump.
Our worst hotel ever.

On arrival, we thought this hotel looked pleasant but
not anything special. As we walked up to our room along very dark corridors we realised that this maybe was not the 5 star we had hoped for. Our room was very basic with many items either falling off walls or just very shabby.
The food was very basic and the restaurant absolutley
appalling. We queued for at least 15 mins every evening just to enter the restaurant to be led to a dirty table with the previous occupants dirty plates and cutlery lingering there. We had to ask the waiter at least twice for everything we needed and on some occasions just gave up and went to a neighbouring restaurant.
After the first evening we had enough and asked to be transferred to another property - anywhere but alas all the decent hotels were fully booked. Our representative did nothing to assist with this and we resorted to grinning and bearing it.
The entertainment was second rate and not worth listening to although you couldn't help that if your room was overlooking the pool.
Both the pool and rooftop bars were charging exorbitant prices for alcoholic drinks and the service very slow.
Unless you are an early riser there was no possible way to secure a sunbed. There were at least 50 people sitting on the concrete every day waiting for someone to move. The hotel receptionist pointed out that we should get up earlier if we expected a sunbed, afterall we had only paid near to

Hotel was in a good location, right opposite the beach. And if you opted for a sea view (which in my opinion is a must) the views were spectacular, the balcony was large and very sunny. The rooms were kept clean, towels changed daily.
Lovely pool area but not very clean, floors were never cleaned the whole time we were there.
The same food an drink stains were there all week, and the pool always seemed cloudy. All the usual pool games were played, volley ball, aerobics, darts.
The food in the hotel was average, some days better than others, breakfast being the best. You could opt to take lunch by the pool if you wanted instead of your evening meal,we only found this out on our last day. The staff at the restaurant were very few and far between and very slow!we had to que up outside until you were shown to a table, the thing that annoyed me was there was loads of empty tables but all dirty not enough staff to clear and re-set.
This is supposed to be a 4* hotel but I would say not quite! All in all everything was adequate and we had a lovely holiday.
