Glyfa Beach Villas

Ikos Odisia

"We stayed in Ikos Odisia in end of August and it was our second experience with Ikos /previously we stayed in Ikos Olivia, Chalkidiki. As we are couple we are always prepared that if hotel with all inclusive, there is risk of really many families with children. And it was a case of Ikos Odisia as well. But the good think is they have beach for adults only next to their lovely Ouzo restaurant and it is lovely. Ok the entrance to sea with some stones and there are areas with grass but you can always find the most comfortable path to enter. We booked DBL Superior room with garden view and balcony that was located in upper Garden village where was a pool for adult in the centre. The room was in perfect size for couple, very good size of bathroom, balcony with great view. And this village above main building. We do not have any problem to walk through resort so no need to use the buggies and wait 20-30 minutes as some guests noticed. To be honest even with kids some guests might walk instead of waiting. We really enjoyed the time and as we mostly stayed in adults parts, it was a good and calm stay. Of course there are huge families in breakfast but also there is quiet zone for adults. Just would be good to keep it really only for adults. Because if you allow take tables to families with children the others want the same. I would highlight only small issues. When we arrived late evening, the welcome was not really that I would expected. We were informed that it is to late to share info about resort and they will tell next day. But none contacted us to tell more. So we missed such info that if you ask 24hour in advance, they may prepare for lunch special meals such as calamari, whole fish etc instead of buffet lunch. Then, and it is issue in most hotels, the housekeeping not provided regularly cotton pads, and cotton buds. We experienced 4 ala carte dinners in Ouzo, Fresco, Anaya and Oliva. We loved Ouzo for buffet lunch and the dinner was ok. Just when I compared the restaurants with those in Ikos Olivia, I would say these in Odisia do not make such impression for me. I also would appreciate and although the hotel with all inclusive, if the management pay more attention on some rules regarding dressing of the guests. Some looks in same dress they used for all day. Fitness is great, just with problem of watter leaking from airconditions so the floor might be slippery. They have pilates performers included so going for this lesson was an extra benefit. Final conclusion we enjoyed the stay and the hotel is on our list for future holidays."

Barbati Bay Elegant Beach Apartments by Hotelius

"I went there for 2 weeks during October combining business and some relaxing moments. First of all I love the area. It has some nice restaurants, beach bars, clean beaches and crystal waters, mini market and bakery all very close, no more than 3 minutes walking distance. The apartment had a separate bedroom, bathroom with shower and living room with open plan kitchen. Everything you need is there. Kitchen fully equipped with all appliances, a real size oven with stove, fridge, washing machine, espresso and filter coffee machine, microwave and many many more. A comfortable bed and 2 TVs, one in the living room and one in bedroom. The space was very clean and cozy. There is also a private car parking space. But the best part for me was the large terrace with stunning nature views. It was quiet this time of the year but not secluded. There is an uphill climb to the main road, but a car is recommended to explore the island. I will definitely go back"
