Beware the sofas! - Neil and Janet. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Bel Air Hotel is situated on the main road in Ixia. Rhodes Town is only about 4 miles - we walked it one day. The beach opposite is nothing to write home about and we got a taxi to Faliraki on three occasions. Taxis are reasonable and the fares are all standardised which helps. The rooms were basic but comfortable, with a fridge and a nice powerful shower. The buffet style restaurant got very samey after a while and we started skipping meals in favour of the lovely gyros kebabs from nearby snack bars. However there was always fruit and delicious Greek yoghurt in the morning and the makings of a good Greek salad in the evenings. A word of warning - on the last evening we settled down on the sofas in the lounge to wait for our early-morning connection to the airport. Well, there was clearly more than just me and my partner occupying those sofas! It's two days after we got back and my arms and legs are covered in itchy swollen bites. You have been warned!
