The Ixian Grand & All Suites

I can’t rave about this place enough. Perfect destination if you’re looking for a romantic couples holiday. The staff provided 5 start service throughout our stay and were super helpful. The hotel itself was gorgeous. We paid a little extra for a spa bath and beach view which I would 100% recommend doing. There was a good variety of food - especially good for picky eaters like myself. The drinks were good and the beach/pool cannot be beaten. I saw many people complain about there not being anything within walking distance of the hotel. However it is only a 20 minute taxi journey to the old town costing around 13 euro and is absolutely worth the trip out. I must say this hotel is probably the nicest i’ve ever been to and absolutely worth every penny

From the moment we arrived we were treated well and wowed by the spectacular foyer and welcoming reception area. The check in was smooth and we were very kindly assisted to our room by a very pleasant concierge who graciously declined our offer of a tip, saying that it wasn't needed. We arrived late at night, after the restaurants had closed but they provided sandwiches and drinks to satiate us overnight. The staff were very pleasant and always greeted us with a smile. The all inclusive buffet was extensive and varied, so you could try something different from the available selection each day. (NB: I think if you were staying longer than a week you might find the overall selection repeats and you could feel a little limited). The cocktail were good and plentiful as was the ever smiling service. Our booking in the a-la-carte restaurant was a very pleasant evening indeed. The food was very tasty good quality and elegantly presented. My wife enjoyed the full 'Fabulous' facial and the spa staff were extremely pleasant. Shout out to Evi and Ausra for the exceptional warmth and friendship they have shown to us too. The local buses were easy to navigate to nearby towns or places of interest and there were taxis available for those more specific places. I would certainly recommend this hotel if you would like to kick back and enjoy quality nightly poolside entertainment, a great ambience, beautiful scenery and a great eating and drinking experience.

On the first day of our stay at the Ixian Grande, my partner and I were approached about the Aegeo Spa on the premises. We had a very limited budget, but were still absolutely convinced to try the biggest dual package - the King & Queen 75 minute spa treatment. My massage therapist was Panagiata, and she was honestly incredible. I have a range of disabilities and severe chronic pain - I need a lot of specific care, with areas that desperately need work, as well as areas that can barely handle the lightest touch. I’m also autistic, so I can be socially awkward as well as needing certain accommodations (I can’t stand having a towel or heavy fabric over my feet when it’s warm, for example). Panagiata was kind, she listened, she was patient, and she took her time. The massage itself was the best I’ve ever had. The spa treatment, including a facial and assorted skin ointments, was my first and has absolutely opened up a world of things I didn’t expect to love. After the treatment, my partner and I looked at each other and agreed we’d rearrange our budget to get another small treatment. We were given individual recommendations with our therapists following the massage, where they suggested the next best treatment for each of us if we were interested. We both opted for the 90 minute Cretan Massage with hydra treatment. I once again had Panagiata as my therapist and honestly, she’s a queen I would have brought home with me if I could have. She remembered everything from the first time, from ultra sore spots needing a light touch to leaving my feet uncovered. I left feeling physically better than I have in a very long time, thanks to her efforts. The exfoliation and cooling masque were amazing, and the oil was the first I’ve ever encountered that didn’t make my skin crawl. Aside from the treatments themselves, the space is absolutely stunning and utterly relaxing, with a lovely and calm indoor pool for spa clients only. Further, my partner and I are fairly large people - for the first massage of my life, I had no fear about the stability of the tables we were on. They were so comfortable and the space was beautiful. I cannot recommend it enough!

My partner and I booked in to the hotel and the first day were approached by some of the spa staff to see if we were interested in booking in for a couples treatment. We had booked this hotel as part of our holiday criteria was the ability to have a relaxing massage so we jumped at the chance. One the day we had booked, we had opted for the King and Queens 75min treatment. When we arrived at the spa we were directed to a very calm and serene indoor pool with comfy seats and loungers around and informed that our therapists would be with us soon and asked us to fill out our medical history details. Once the formalities were done my partner and I were taken to the couples treatment room which was beautiful, we were given time in privacy to remove our clothing apart from lower undergarments and get on the massage beds face down and covered by the provided towel. My therapist was Valentina and I must say her hands should be insured as the experience was out of this world, I chose to go with a firm/deep massage which was both painful (in all the right ways) and so relaxing. Afterwards my partner and I were so impressed we both stated that we wanted to book in for a second treatment before our holiday ended. The second treatment we booked in for was the Royal dreams 90 min treatment with Cretan massage and face peel for myself. This treatment was provided by Evi. This second treatment was also truly divine, one of the best ways to end my holiday. I would consider visiting this hotel again just based on the spa treatments alone.

I booked a createn massage. My masseuse was Eva. Eva is a very good masseuse. She did a great job! I can only recommend her to everyone. it was pure relaxation. She has very suitable hands for the massage!!! She also is a very friendly person!!!

I was disappointed with our stay purely based on the false representation on the website, I booked a deluxe room with garden view, room was ok, view was of wasteland. When we checked in we were told you can only book the Greek or Japanese a la carte for one night the rest of the time is just the main restaurant. The main restaurant was nice for breakfast, however lack of fresh fruit and juice was out of a carton. Lunch and dinner was practically the same food every day and was not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Entertainment was lacking in the evening. The staff at the hotel at absolutely amazing all extremely friendly and a pleasure to be around. The pool area is also lovely.

Went their for my honeymoon. We upgraded to private pool, loved our room, doesnt have a seperate shower, but that didnt faze. From the time we got dropped off to the time we picked up we was looked after. Due to or upgrade we went to the restuarant Arizona 90% of our holiday. The food was delicious and Christina was soo lovely, as well as the rest of the staff. Went to milonges which is the Greek restuarant, food was really nice as well. Went to the Japanese restuarant, which is personally didn't rate, we both ordered ribeye steak and only got one. Just didn't enjoy it. Apart from that, there was always space to sit around the pool, the pool was always quiet. The beach is lovely, so many beds available. There was loads of variety of drinks, I loved the cocktails. All the staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough. Entertainment is fine, different days are better than others, but we found that didn't matter as everyone mingles and talks so you don't pay much attention to the Entertainment. We was offered a massage as a couple, with all the "offers' it came up €360, without all the thrills and offers she said I can do it for €256. We felt that was still a lot so didn't go for it, felt it was overpriced. I would recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel and had a wonderful time. Booked up on the last day a aegeo spa treatment and it was amazing valentina was my masseuse and was excellent very professional and friendly. Came away feeling amazing. Highly recommend going to the spa while you stay here.

Overall had a wonderful time staying here . Everyone super friendly & helpful . On our last day we booked a couples massage in the Aegeo Spa . One of the best I have had!! Paragiota was my masseuse & she was wonderful ! Left feeling so relaxed & all the tension from my shoulders gone !
