Ikos Olivia

BEWARE YOUNG CHILDREN EVERYWHERE Booked this place for a quiet holiday The buffet restaurant is lovely but kids were running around whilst your trying to relax and eat There was food thrown on the floor and left by certain parents kids were helping themselves to food touching foods with there dirty hands It's a shame as there was decent parents looking after there kids, where ever you went there was kids,there is an adult only pool but parents took there kids there also there's adult only beaches but l saw kids in those too, Young kids screaming and crying There are a couple of places to eat no kids allowed which gave us a break I'm a parent and work with children This place is a lovely place all the staff are 10 out of 10 I would never go back to this place due too many screaming kids running around doing what they like in food areas it's like a kids party every day and night I love IKOS but would never go back Bad parents equals bad kids

We have just returned from an idyllic week at this beautiful resort. Yes there are a lot of young children, but this is a family hotel outside of the school holidays, so what do you expect? There are plenty of adult only hotels if you prefer. We didn’t find it to be a nuisance at all, indeed it was lovely seeing so many happy families enjoying their holiday. Everything you read about the high standards of service and food and drinks is true. The staff go above and beyond at every opportunity. Special thanks must go to General Manager Maria, Miriella and George at Potami and Enrique at The Garden. The hotel and grounds are beautiful. I really couldn’t recommend it more!

Everything was amazing. I would love to thank the staff: Athina (assigant manager), Ria (Reception Manager), special thanks to the cooks from the reastaurant Flavors. But in general everyone was amazing at Olivia. We are visiting Ikos Olivia since 2015 and we will continue every year:)

Exceeded our expectations. We were so well looked after by all the staff in all areas. The quality of the restaurants, bars and facilities are top notch. Special thanks to Petros and his sport centre team who helped my husband with his additional road bike rental and a great big hug to Dimitris who looked after my girls so well for 14 days on the trampoline. We missed them already!! Until next year!

Our stay at Ikos Olivia felt like we were being welcomed by family members at the resort even if we were strangers to begin with. The check in was very smooth with cool towels and aperitif provided to begin the check in process. There was a beautiful fragrance in the lobby which uplifted our senses. Our bungalow room was spacious, secluded and surrounded by greenery which gave us privacy. We enjoyed true Greek hospitality in the various restaurants and bars the resort has to offer with genuine attention to detail, care and professionalism. The resort has plenty of dining options which include Ouzo, Provence, Flavours, Fresco, Anaya and the Garden restaurant. We would thoroughly recommend all the restaurants not only because the food is delicious but there are some of the best people working in hospitality business. We would recommend to do the Ikos local drive experience as we got the opportunity to drive and discover more of Chalkidiki in the comfort of a complimentary Tesla for the day. The beach is very clean and the water is crystal clear around Yerakini. The beach service is exemplary whereby towels and drinks are provided if needed without having to wait by staff. The resort has water-sport activities provided by wake wake and some are complimentary to use for example kayaks, paddle boats and paddle boards. We throughly enjoyed paddle boating in the calm sea under the beautiful sunshine. The resort has plenty of beautiful well maintained gardens with lavender, spring flowers, rosemary, oregano, mint, olive trees growing on the property. Everyday in the morning we started our day with Yoga and this was something we absolutely loved. Ikos Olivia is not a resort but a sanctuary where you connect with your inner self and nature and truly forget the hustle and bustle of the outside world. This all inclusive resort truly feeds your body and soul! We would recommend to use the Ikos app to help you book restaurant dinner reservations and sports and fitness activities for example booking tennis courts, yoga, pilates etc. We are still reminiscing our time at Ikos Olivia and would like to take this opportunity to thank the following staff members for making our stay a beautiful memory and for their exemplary service shown to us- Anna, Stella, Karla, Lefteris and Nikoleta from Ouzo; Elena, Batu, Spiros from Provence; George and Miriela from the Potami; Dimitra and Catarina from Flavours; Eres from Indigo bar; Konstantinos our buggy driver; Anna Kalaitzidou from Guest Relations and lastly Chiara our wonderful and gifted yoga teacher. We are already planning our next trip at your resort and are looking forward to another great experience to make new wonderful memories.

Ikos Olivia is literally a paradise on earth. Mesmerising setting, endless view, delicious food, warm hearted staff and unconditional luxury to their biggest. A resort for every taste and all ages, gives the ultimate feeling of what Greek philoxenia means. Congrats to Mrs Athena and Mrs Maria for making sure all expectations are far from just met. Shout out to all the friendly and kind staff. Everybody keep up the good work. Til next time.

Overall: Our family had an exquisite time at this luxurious hotel. Our room was absolutely beautiful, everywhere was cleaned and maintained to the very highest standard. Every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay here and we couldn't have asked for more. Kids Club: We were very nervous about sending our son to the kids' club, he'd never attended one before. The staff at the kids' were phenomenal. Our son skipped into the the club everyday with a smile on his face. He made lovely friends there, and brought lots of things home that he made there. We even used the babysitting service on one evening, simply because we'd met the Lia through the kids' club and felt very at ease about her staying with our son. Thank you: Once again, we'd like to say a huge thanks to Margaret (guest relations), who made sure we got a 5 star service everyday! Many thanks to the kids' club staff, especially Lia, who made our son love every moment of his holiday with their fantastic activities and themes they had at the kids club, crèche & babysitting. We'd also like to say a huge thanks to the following pool staff members Nikoleta, Konstantina and Chiado. Thanks for always greeting us so warmly, for attending to our every needs and for making us feel so special. We would DEFINITELY go back and look forward to our nest holiday there!

Perfect place. The only thing that let's it down is the people who go with small children to the restaurants late Evening when there children are clearly overstimulated and tired and ruin everyone else's peaceful evenings. My son struggled to cope with the screaming babies and children at points. This is the only reason we would not return.
