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 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!

BE AWARE - SOME ROOM CATEGORIES ARE UNSUITABLE FOR FAMILIES WITH NON-WALKERS BE AWARE - THE SHUTTLE SERVICE IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION - ITS NOW ON-DEMAND We had a lovely week-long stay at Ikos Odisia, but there were a few issues. Firstly, some room categories are not suitable for families with small children, especially non-walkers. We booked a ‘Superior Double Room’ with a balcony for two adults and a one-year-old pre-walker. We knew it would be on the 1st floor, but the booking site didn’t mention that there are no lifts in any of the accommodation blocks. So, we had to carry our baby and pushchair up two flights of stairs each time. The cheapest room on the ground floor is a ‘Superior Double Room with Private Garden’. Secondly, the resort has a large fleet of golf carts called ‘Club Cars’ that run around the grounds. There are benches and ‘Shuttle’ signs, so we assumed that waiting by one of these signs would be the right way to get a lift. However, after two cars went past without stopping, we messaged the e-concierge. They told us that the shuttle stops were no longer in use and that we should message them with our location, and a cart would be sent for us. This was a better service, but it was not advertised anywhere. My suggestion is to add little ‘location info’ signs to each of the existing shuttle stops, along with the QR code for the e-concierge. This would inform guests of the new process and make it easier for them to know where they want to be picked up from. The resort was immaculately maintained, with everything clean and tidy, and no major signs of wear and tear despite our late season stay. We easily navigated the resort, even with our buggy, except for our original room. Two specialty restaurants were on the first floor above reception with lifts, while the other two were at the top of a long uphill path to the cliffs, which we accessed with a club car. Everywhere else had ramps and step-free access. The room was spacious enough for two adults and a baby, even the original Superior Double, and certainly the upgraded Superior Double with Private Garden. The buffet restaurants were well managed, with regularly replaced and clean dishes. One or two of the cleaning staff seemed to forget that guests needed to actually access the buffet on occasion, and were swooping in to clean without letting us actually get to the food... but most of the time, it was excellent. The a-la-carte restaurants served good food, with only a few slip-ups corrected promptly. The resort offered high-quality child and baby equipment, including clean and well-presented Stokke high chairs and a sturdy cot in our room. They also offered hire of pushchairs and bikes, including toddler bikes, for a nominal fee. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially to our little one, who seemed to be a big favourite.

Myself and my friend travelled here in September and stayed for a week. We wanted a cheap all inclusive holiday where we could just chill and relax. I had read mixed reviews about the hotel. It is only a 3 star and we paid just over 360 each for a week all inclusive and you get what you pay for. The staff were friendly, the hotel its self could probably do with a bit of updating but it was clean throughout. The food was a buffet style restaurant for breakfast, lunch and tea. There wasn't loads of choice usually a meat dish, a chicken dish, a fish dish, a pasta dish and a vegetarian option with a selection of potatos and vegetables. We liked the food and could always find something we enjoyed. There was also a pool side snack bar which served crepes, pasta salad, burgers, etc. The hotel is up hill and there's quite a lot of steps in the hotel...the lift is quite small so id say it isn't the best place for those woth mobility problems. The hotel does run a shuttle bus up and down the hill but we chose to walk. There's evening entertainment every other night but there isn't a lot of seats and lying/sitting on a sunlounger while trying to watch the entertainment takes away from the vibe. The bar staff do not skimp on the alcohol..infavt at times the vodkas were too strong. All in all we had a lovely relaxing holiday..this hotel is 3 star and if people are expecting more they would be disappointed. I would definitely go back if I wanted a cheap relaxing holiday. The only thing that really bugged me was there no tea/coffee making stuff in the room..I like a brew as soon as I open my eyes.

We stayed here for one week and overall had a lovely time. We checked in quite late, but were warmly greeted by a very nice British man at reception who handed us a packed lunch, which was a thoughtful touch after a long journey. The room itself was a little disappointing – quite outdated, and the bed was very firm and uncomfortable. A mattress topper would make a big difference. The shower was also a bit of a hassle, as the curtain didn’t do much to stop water from splashing all over the floor. Thankfully there’s a drain in the bathroom, so it dries eventually, but it’s still inconvenient. On the positive side, the staff were absolutely lovely throughout our stay. We had a very late flight back and appreciated the option to either extend our checkout for a small extra fee or leave our luggage in the lobby and still use the facilities, including lunch and all-inclusive drinks/snacks, until we left. That flexibility really made things easier. The food was decent overall. Breakfast wasn’t the strongest, but lunch and dinner were much better with different options each night. The snack bar was a highlight – the crepes with Nutella and the burgers were very popular. One small issue is that around 12–1pm the person running the snack bar leaves (we assume because lunch starts), but there’s no sign to let you know. It would be helpful to have a notice about the closure, as otherwise you’re left waiting. The location is okay, but not the best if you’re after beautiful beaches, as the nicer ones are further away. Renting a car or moped is highly recommended, and the bus is also a cheap and convenient option (with a timetable provided in the lobby). If you do explore, we definitely recommend visiting Nisaki Beach – a little pebbly cove that feels quite hidden away. It’s absolutely beautiful, great for snorkelling and swimming, and well worth the trip. A lovely surprise was the cats around the hotel – they’re friendly, well looked after, and not too clingy. We especially enjoyed nightly visits from one sweet cat who we named Charlie, who would sometimes come up to our balcony. 😁 Overall, while the rooms could definitely use some updates, the staff, food, and welcoming atmosphere made our stay very enjoyable.

Where to begin. Stayed in room 309. Room was clean but the shower floods the whole room Asked for extra towels, non forthcoming so just flooded every day First impression we were a late check in due to flight. English man, dirty clothes sweating profusely. Lost the reg forms and quite frankly not professional. The packed lunch of sandwich, apple and water sparse and unappetising Food ok edible and hot so no complaints All inclusive drinks 5 choices of cocktails consisting of tequila, vodka, brandy, whisky Also beer option On one night they ran out of everything but brandy, rather than go to the shop we were offered brandy or beer. We started off with large plastic cups on day one and these were then replaced by coffee cups! Pool quite cloudy i think due to the amount of suncream and people. Not enough sunloungers and the open bins really smell The free shuttle from the hotel is a filthy old van derived car driven by an equally unkept non friendly human. Reception lady (blonde hair long) was great, manager did not show her face unless it was to fill it at the buffet, no interest in dealing with complaints or concerns. Maintenance, other staff look very much like they are on holiday themselves not very professional All in all the surrounding wild rose pool and bar and the malibu beach club saved our holiday I found the Greek men to be rude and patronising and they were not friendly at all but im guessing thats the race 🤷‍♀️ just how they are Housekeeping staff are amazing and work bloody hard I would visit corfu again but not this hotel

Wonderful! We had a great time with my family there. The food was delicious and with different choices every day. The staff was always willing to help us with anything we needed. It is a hotel with 3 stars but I think it deserves much more based on the quality of the food and in general. Also you need a car to go to the city as it is about 20 minutes but that is not a problem because there is a bus stop right outside. Many congratulations to the people who work there!!

The maids steal!! I do not recommend this hotel!! I stayed here for a week, and on the third day the maids decided to leave me without a pair of very nice pants that were on the bed — they were not cheap. When I reported this to reception and spoke with the manager, their attitude was completely superficial, saying they must be at the laundry. For the rest of the vacation, I was the one asking every single day about them, only to be told, “we will keep looking,” but I can assure you no one actually looked. I find it extremely unprofessional that, as a guest, I had to keep asking every day about my missing item… Only to be told on the last day that “they’re not there, and no refund will be given” — even though if I were to damage or break something in the room, I would have to pay for it. I wasn’t even given a single “SORRY”!!! I absolutely do not recommend this hotel — total lack of professionalism and an excess of arrogance.
