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.
