Sirene Beach Hotel - All Inclusive in Ixia

Stayed in this hotel for a week, and I don't understand how this hotel is 4-star.
If you want a quite place, don't go here.

The positive was that the staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and they all spoke English very well. The other positive thing were the cats. They are strays, and you shouldn't touch them, but during each meal you had a lot of company from begging cats, and they are adorable!

The location of the hotel is right next to an extremely busy road. The road leads from the airport to Rodos-city, and all the tiny villages in the area are connected to this road. Therefore it's busy with heavy traffic 24/7! On top of that, the wind blows from sea to the hotel, amplifying the sound and battering the hotel. We had a room with sea view, and the road was right below our balcony. The view was absolutely amazing, but we couldn't sit on the balcony because of the traffic sound. It was horrible.
The sound of the animation was also very loud. It started at 18.00 hour and lasted until 23.30 hour.

Then there was the room. It was dated, but clean enough. Not super clean.
The bed was hard, but you can ask for a topper at the reception and housekeeping will put it on your bed. The pillows were various forms of brick, or almost without stuffing.
The bathroom was a disaster. Super tiny, and the shower was installed in a bathtub in an awkward angle and therefore I was really afraid I'd slip and fall. The sink didn't provide a lot of room for toiletries. The towel rack was right above the toilet (gross!) and it was the only place to hang a towel. Adding a hook or two on the door would fix a lot.
There was also no space to place your suitcase.

The choice in food was limited. They did change the menu every day, and of course you get Greek food. But all the food was cold, and at best luke-warm. The desserts were the same every day, just a different flavour of petit four or jello. The choice of drinks and snacks for an all-inclusive hotel was sad. You can get either alcohol, drinks with bubbles, or a disgusting cup of coffee. The snacks were limited to a couple of pastries and a cookie. I would have liked some options for fruit, yoghurt, or maybe even crisps during the day.

There were some places to lounge. The lobby had a couple of sagged couches, and it was always busy and loud. Not really made for relaxing. The pool area was fine to relax, but the pool was green with algae and the water was cold. My advice is to go to the sea and swim there. Bring water shoes because it's a pebble with sand beach.

Close to the hotel is a taxi stop. I do advice to take the cab. The prices are fixed (there's an extra fee when they pick you up from the hotel) and it's not expensive.

All in all, I wouldn't go here again and I wouldn't recommend someone going here.

We came on sunday morning and in the evening they closed the pool and you can't swim after eight. I asked someone who worked there they said you can swim whenever - we got a curefew. The sea is very wavy and not crystal clear. Food is okay, hotel is clean. The hillside is very hot there is no air and its very humid. If you want sea, chose somewhere else. If you want to swim in the pool with squabbling children this is the place for you.

I recently stayed at the Sirene Beach Hotel in Rhodes and would like to share my experiences. Unfortunately, they were largely disappointing.

The hotel does offer an all-inclusive package, but at an absolutely minimalist level. Drinks are only available at mealtimes in the hotel, and even that is a hassle. The pool bar is only accessible via a circuitous route, which really detracts from the enjoyment. The food was a real disappointment. We ate outside most of the time as the quality of the food was substandard for us. Whether it was fish or meat - it was barely edible. The alcoholic drinks were particularly disappointing, especially the wine, which had nothing to do with good wine. The beer was just okay, but the water in the hotel is undrinkable. It tastes like you are drinking pool water. It's a cheek that all guests are forced to buy water outside the hotel.

The evening entertainment was also at a very low level. They do try to organise something, but again only the bare minimum. Some of the staff were friendly, but we were irritated by the fact that dinner ends abruptly at 10pm and the door closes at 9.59pm sharp.

There is no children's entertainment and no beach towels provided by the hotel. One bright spot, however, was the hotel room with a sea view. This was really stunning and the room was always kept very clean. The cleaning staff were very reliable, so a big thank you for that.

Overall our stay was unfortunately disappointing and we would not recommend this hotel to anyone. There are definitely better options on Rhodes.
