Ikos Olivia was the choice for our honeymoon and it was an amazing experience. The staff was very helpful and careful to our requests and made the whole experience for us feel perfect. The room was very nice and clean (chapeau to the cleaning ladies), the food was even better and there were a lot of choices in the restaurants or the main buffet. We’re coming back this year

Have had a marvellous time with my wife and friends, the meals in all the restaurants first class with service, all the staff and cleaners were fantastic and very helpful and kind. Lots for families to do with great pools that are heated lots of things for the kids to do and great for couples, beach is nice and plenty of sunbeds sea is has stones as you enter with beach service highly recommend.

Our stay at Ikos Olivia was the best holiday experience we've had so far, especially traveling with a toddler. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. They were incredibly well-trained and attentive, always anticipating our needs without us ever having to ask. Their friendliness and genuine care made us feel pampered throughout our stay.
The attention to detail was outstanding. For example, at the Florence restaurant, the lovely hostess always greeted our two-year-old with a warm smile and provided cutlery that matched her outfit nearly every time—a level of thoughtfulness that truly amazed us! 😝The step chairs for kids and other small touches made everything so much easier and more enjoyable for our little one.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the variety of activities kept us entertained throughout our stay. Everything was immaculately clean, contributing to a truly relaxing environment.
We’re already looking forward to our next visit. It was 100% worth it! The only minor issue was the pillows, which I found a bit uncomfortable, but that might just be a personal preference. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better holiday experience.

Generally a superb experience which we have just arrived back home from.
Stunning grounds beautifully maintained and impeccably friendly service from virtually all staff we encountered. Genuine rather than forced. A great young guy who works tirelessly around the main pool area deserves special mention. Does everything for you with a smile and nothing is a problem.
A choice of on-site restaurants offering various world and Greek cuisines. Each was fantastic. The Spa area does a superb massage. The best I have had.
Now, if you aren’t keen on young children this particular Ikos resort may not be for you. Although they do have some adult only areas, you will encounter many families with younger offspring running around the pool, bars and restaurants main areas, and up until very late, too. It didn’t bother us, but be warned if it would annoy you.
Any downsides? Outside of the resort area is not the most inspiring if you do want to explore. But essentially there is so much to see and do inside, that may not be an issue for you. The Ikos App needs serious attention, and we found it more or less useless to actually try to book any of the restaurants, and incredibly frustrating to log in to. The hotel also insists you are greeted and asked to plan your meals on arrival with a specialist member of staff. After a very long journey, that was the last thing we wanted to do. We just wanted to go to our room, relax and settle in. The arrival meeting should offer the choice of seeking it out when YOU want it, and NOT them. Equally, we found the restaurant bookings they planned for us restrictive and not at the times and days we would have chosen. Don’t think you can just turn up at a restaurant on the resort. Other than the buffet area, you can’t. You have to book in advance, and probably the best way to do that, having spoken to people who have visited more than once, is to email the hotel directly before you arrive with the times and the dates of the restaurants you want to visit sent to them in advance.
Even with the above criticisms it would be absolutely churlish to deduct any stars from the wonderful experience that Ikos Olivia offers you. Sublime best describes it.

The hotel itself is beautiful, and the staff are absolutely charming, with a special mention for Marilena, who was exceptional. However, our stay started on a sour note. We had booked a sea view room but were "upgraded" to a one-bedroom apartment with no view, inconveniently located next to the kids' club. The apartment also had stairs, which was completely impractical for us, as we had a 10-month-old baby in a pram. It took several hours and quite a bit of stress to resolve this and get the room we originally booked. This experience left a bad impression at the start of our holiday.
While the service overall is good, it falls short of being exceptional which at the price point of the hotel, I would expect it to be. The biggest drawback, however, is the behaviour of some of the other guests. One downside was the atmosphere during mealtimes, where many children were left to run around freely, creating a somewhat chaotic environment that disrupted the otherwise serene setting. This was not limited to the early meal time slots, but continued through the entire dinner service past 9pm.
In conclusion, while Ikos Olivia has many positive aspects, I would definitely recommend avoiding it if you're traveling without children, as the atmosphere may not be as relaxing as expected.
