Ikos Oceania

We’ve been coming to this beautiful place since 2016 and still one of my favourite places. I love to travel to different places and this is the only hotel I’ve been to more than once and have since recommended friends and family who have also loved it and rebooked. Apart from being a beautiful place to relax, it’s a whole sensory experience! Taking in all the blue of the sky, sea and pool, listening to the waves of the Aegean with views of Mount Olympus, the hotel always smells out of this world! I want that in my house!! And the food is just amazing and a massive part of the reason we keep going back. Along with the cocktails, extensive wines and most importantly the brilliant and welcoming staff. It was lovely to see Vasilis still there who we remember from our first trip. The rooms are very comfortable with everything you need and more. The only question is, when can I come back again!

My wife and I booked to visit Ikos Oceania for one week from 12th October 2024, exactly one year after our last visit and my wife’s third. As before, the service from private airport pick up, the resort, to returning to the airport was second to none. This service and attention to detail made our vacation very relaxing and worth every penny along with the delicious food and drinks. And this service is for everyone, not just select few. The team at Ikos Oceania go above and beyond. Of course there will always be those that leave a lasting impression and the ones we would like to specifically thank are: • Alexander Simonis – Guest Relations • Maria – Provence Restaurant • Speedy Yiorgos - Provence Restaurant • Eva - Adults pool • Nicola – Anaya Restaurant Thank you to All at Ikos Oceania.

October half term - family break We took kids (4 and 7) here for October half term following lots of Ikos recommendations from friends. Service stands out here, really attentive in a friendly, genuine way. The food quality in the restaurants was excellent and exceeded expectations (for people that don’t generally do ‘all inclusive’). The kids enjoyed the kids club, which had a Halloween theme running all week and where team was great. The Halloween party went down a storm and was very well attended. Only one major area of feedback - the pools are too cold. We raised this and were told the official temperature recording was c27 degrees and that ‘bacteria’ formed above 29 degrees. We have never had an issue with pool temperatures before, and take the kids to variety of pools locally every week. We visited Ikos Olivia - no such problem. Whether it’s energy saving or creaking kit, it needs to get sorted as all the guests were talking about it.

Fantastic hotel with a superb selection of top class restaurants to choose from. This was our 3rd time at IKOS Oceania and once again my wife and I had a fantastic holiday, very relaxing and chilled out. The staff are all amazing, very helpful and friendly, always smiling. We stayed at the adults pool bar during the day and was very warmly served by the pool waitress who was called Eva. She was excellent, An absolutely lovely person who could not do enough to make your time at Ikos that extra special.

We stayed at Ikos Oceania from 12 - 18 October, and had the most wonderful holiday. As everyone has said before, the staff are amazing and can't do enough for you, and are happy and welcoming. You are so well looked after, and its genuine kindness and care, it doesn't feel corporate, but like a small, family run hotel. I have coeliac disease and I can say hand on heart I have never been better looked after anywhere. I told the hotel in advance of going that I had coeliac disease, just to be on the safe side. I'd looked online and saw that the menus marked GF items, so I thought I'd be ok, but once I arrived they had set up a meeting with Thekla from the food and beverage team and she talked me through all the precautions the team would take and preparing things separately etc. It was clear that she and all the staff understood my condition and cross contamination really well, and I just felt so safe from the very beginning. Thekla gave me her number and then each day she said to WhatsApp her which restaurants I was going to that day and she would send me the menu, then I could make my choices and she would pre order for me and make sure the chefs and the team knew what I needed. I had so much choice in each restaurant, and it was lovely because when I arrived and gave our room number, the person greeting us knew I had a pre order and they just made me feel so safe from that point on. Anyone who has an allergy or autoimmune disease, particularly one where cross contamination is an issue will know how nerve wracking it can be to eat out. It was such a treat to feel relaxed and safe, with minimal fuss. Thekla even arranged for cake and biscuits that I could have to be delivered to our room. I could not have been better taken care of, and am so grateful to everyone for their kindness. Its worth mentioning that sometimes the list Thekla gave me was slightly different to what was on the menu in the restaurant - I think some of the GF items on the menu might have been "may contain" or "traces", and I'm not sure any fries/potatoes were cooked separately in different oil etc, you would have had to request that (which was never a problem), so its worth checking if you are coeliac or very sensitive just to be on the safe side. If you have an allergy/autoimmune condition, I would definitely mention this because they completely know what to do. We were upgraded to a deluxe room on the last couple of days because they had one free - which was a very unexpected, amazing treat. We were in the most basic room at first, which was still really lovely, but the deluxe room was bigger, with a sofa and separate bath and shower, and the some lovely treats included such as a complimentary massage and some champagne in the room. I can honestly say, whilst this was a lovely experience, and if money was no object I'd book deluxe again, our normal room was extremely clean, comfortable and still felt very luxury - similar decor and layout and still all the lovely toi
