Ikos Odisia

Mark Perry

An amazing holiday and cannot recommend this hotel enough set on beautiful grounds they think of everything especially if you have kids. The rooms are beautifully furnished and immaculate with the little garden so handy.The food was first class as was the service at every meal. All the staff are so happy and helpful they’re a credit to the hotel. A big shout out goes to Prodromos who greeted us and was so friendly and thoughtful throughout the holiday. Also Kane at the pool bar and Valarie at the Italian restaurant but really all the staff were amazing throughout. We will definitely be coming again and can’t wait.

We had such a brilliant stay at Ikos Odisia celebrating our babymoon at 27 weeks pregnant. The resort is everything it promises to be, and the service is unparalleled. No ask is too big. A couple examples of this service - on arrival we asked whether there were any complimentary upgrades available. When they noted I was pregnant, they upgraded us for free to a junior suite in the middle of the resort which made a huge difference as there was much less walking required - I got stung by a wasp on the beach, and the concierge sent someone out to the local pharmacy, picked up pregnancy friendly medication then hand delivered it to the pool bed I was at. And only charged us €4 for the pills themselves. - They were accommodating of any changes to restaurant bookings, tennis courts and excursions. responding on WhatsApp in seconds - We got the free shuttle into town, and because reception had run out of the ‘culture passes’ they offered to refund us on any and all cultural tickets we purchased. At the end of the stay, they just knocked it off the city tax we were due to pay. - All bar staff were happy to make cocktails into mocktails to accommodate my pregnancy - Pool service was incredible. Towels brought out as soon as you reached a sunbed Food was also fantastic throughout and we managed to try every restaurant in our one week stay, only using the buffet for a quick breakfast option. Only feedback would be to have more music in the adult areas of the restaurants as at times it would have helped the atmosphere - Olivia & Elia both had fantastic views and stunning Greek dishes. Loved the dips and the seafood pastas - Anaya (Asian) and Azul (peruvian) were both welcome as different cuisines. Not up to par with the Greek in terms of quality or authenticity but still very good Standout facilities - reformer Pilates classes are new and a great addition, though you can only book 2 per person and they book out very fast. On arrival there were only a couple spots left which we snapped up. Joanna the instructor was brilliant, and coached my husband through his first class - Gym was lovely and well equipped. - Beach beds and pool beds all very comfortable and the QR system for ordering food and drink was seamless. Custom orders and specific requests were also welcome Considerations for anyone booking a babymoon: - if you want a stress free, poolside week, with impeccable service and food then I would not hesitate. That said, at 29 and 30 we were very much not the target demographic. It was all either young families with babies and young kids, or older couples. This was reflected in lack of evening activities or entertainment, but suited us just fine as we headed to bed early Thank you to the IKOS team for an unforgettable stay

We booked Ikos Odisia for our first holiday with our 6-month-old baby, expecting a luxury experience. Instead, it was a nightmare that ended with me in the medical centre on an IV drip with severe food poisoning. The Good Check-in was smooth, the resort is pristine with amazing views, and the rooms are spacious with great beach/pool access. It is very easy to navigate with a pram, and the high-quality baby equipment (Stokke cot) was set up ready for arrival. Unfortunately, that is where the luxury ended. The Room & Maintenance Noise: A frequent knocking noise from the bathroom drain sounded like someone knocking on the front door, waking us and the baby repeatedly. Plumbing/Power: The shower leaked heavily, flooding the bathroom floor. The electricity cut out repeatedly. This was dangerous as we needed boiled water for bottles, and it constantly disconnected our Owlet baby monitor, triggering loud alarms. Hygiene: Used room service dishes sat outside our door for 24 hours gathering ants. Food & Hygiene Issues The food looks beautiful but relies on low-quality, cheap ingredients. Room service nachos were drenched in fake cinema cheese, and breakfast was bleak—worse than budget chains, featuring cheap hot-dog-style sausages, watery eggs, and cold à la carte options. Food hygiene is highly questionable. We watched a bird eating directly from the buffet omelette station at Fresco while staff ignored it. Flies land all over the uncovered, lukewarm buffet fruit. Most shockingly, I contracted severe food poisoning from the chicken at Azul (the only dish my wife and I didn't share). I was up from 2:30 AM with severe D&V and required hospital IV fluids, returning at 1:00 AM the next day. Blood tests confirmed an inflammatory spike consistent with food poisoning. Appalling Management Response When we notified management, they gaslighted us. They called my emergency hospitalisation "discomfort" and suggested I "wasn't used to the hot weather" (it was 18°C and stormy). They claimed "no other cases," yet we met another family onsite with identical symptoms. Despite saying they "wanted to care for me," we were entirely ignored after returning from the hospital. Even worse, the medical reports were written defensively to protect the hotel. The resort doctor's report claimed I walked back to my room independently, when in reality, he explicitly forbade me from walking due to dangerously low blood pressure and ordered a buggy. The clinic report claimed I was in "good condition with no signs of dehydration," yet the exact same page notes I needed an IV drip, and doctors struggled to find a vein because I was so dehydrated. It feels like a coordinated effort to minimise a serious health issue. I am still unwell and walking doubled over from abdominal pain. Other Lowlights Safety: I cut my lip on a chipped water glass at Fresco; the station was entirely unmanned to report it. On multiple occasions, waiters passed trays of boiling drinks directly over our sleeping baby's pram. Infant Care: We asked for baby bottles to be cleaned; they returned completely dirty. Room service consistently ignored requests to leave items on the garden table, knocking loudly and waking the baby. Privacy & Service: A staff member walked straight into our bedroom while my wife was napping, ignoring her verbal warnings. Buggy service was painfully slow (waiting 30+ mins while I could barely stand). The coffee tastes like a cheap vending machine, and non-alcoholic options are incredibly limited. Class System: Management openly fawns over "Deluxe" guests, while standard guests are ignored. You expect to pay extra for better rooms, not for basic human politeness. The management's handling of my sickness left such a bad taste that I will never return or recommend an Ikos resort.

I loved this place, Me and my family came in September and made so many memories. We loved Elia for breakfast because (in my opinion) it's the best restaurant. The watersports were so much fun, I learnt how to canoe and more! I went snorkeling around the cliffs on the hunt to see some octopus but sadly didn't find any, but they are definitely there since many people have left reviews saying they found them. Anyways to sum it all up it was so much fun and would definitely visit again!
