We have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Gennadi Grand Resort and had a very lovely holiday. This was our second visit to Rhodes, previously staying in the Sheraton in Ixia 10 years ago. On arrival to Rhodes we rented a car. In other reviews people talk about how remote this hotel is like it's a surprise to them...unless someone else booked their holiday they should have done their research and realised they'd need either a rental car or to be getting on the bus alot if they wanted to explore. In our opinion renting a car is essential wherever you stay on the island as you should be getting out and seeing the beautiful villages, mountains and beaches far beyond the main tourist sites but we realise we are lucky that we drive to be able to do this. We drove to the resort, an hour from the airport on pretty much one road seeing goats on our way. We parked in the free car park and made our way inside. First thoughts were how beautiful it smelled inside and how pretty the lobby area was. We were greeted and told to take a seat and given a glass of something pink and fizzy. After being given room keys and info about meals (we stayed half board) we were taken, with our luggage, on a golf buggy to the room. In the room a few pieces of fruit, two very small wraps and a bottle of wine waited. In all honesty this is why this review is 4 stars instead of 5. We had last eaten at 12pm before our flight took off and arrived at the hotel close to midnight and the food left in the room for us wasn't sufficient. We could have ordered room service but there was an additional charge for this on top of the food cost which we thought unreasonable. The room itself is spacious with a queen bed, a mini fridge (under the sink in case you can't find it immediately!), separate rooms for shower and toilet and a balcony with comfy seats. Our tv didn't work when we turned it on the first night and were told by reception it had been noted and would be fixed the next day. We then had to make 2 more phone calls before we had tv channels. Not a huge deal as we only used the tv at night when in bed but even so.... The food at this resort is insanely good. A huge non changing selection at breakfast. Fried, scrambled and boiled eggs, greek sausages, bacon, salad, yogurts, cereals, cakes, toasted sandwiches, lovely bread and much more. Dinner was a highlight of the holiday with dessert being something we eagerly looked forward to each day. A changing menu each day we stayed. Soups, salads, hot food such as chicken, beef, moussaka, fish and then specialities carved for you such as salmon, lamb, beef, chicken etc. Greek foods could also be found which was nice to have. There was a pizza and pasta station but we didn't try these so can't comment. Desserts. O is for o wow. Seriously. Caramel mousse, pistachio and raspberry panacotta, different macaron flavours each day, the list goes on and on. we would go back to this hotel for the desserts alone. Pools were all cle
