Just back from Ikos Olivia with the boys and we had a great time. Resort is in top shape, food is genuinely good everywhere, and the service across the board is what makes this place stand out. Overall 10/10
A few people we want to call out:
Antonia at the Deluxe concierge — looked after us from the moment we arrived, always one step ahead.
Thanos and Petros at the Deluxe bar — good drinks, good chats, made it our spot.
Vicky, manager at The Garden and a really strong sommelier. Her wine pairings made the dinners even better.
The star at Ouzo, Lefteris
Last but not least, Leon at Flavours — our hero of the week. Nothing was too much, and the boys loved him.
Sports activities were also a big win with the kids. Plenty to do, well run.
Thanks to the whole team. We’ll be back!

We have been to ikos for 10 years and this was the best resort we have stayed in.
The staff as always were wonderful, but here they went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible. Vasili, Antonia, Elena, Tasos & Nikolas were all amazing with us and our 9 month old. Including personally checking in on him when they found out he wasn’t well!
The resort is beautifully spread out with restaurants on the beach front with sea views & the wonderful Potami bar at the front too
I also have a nut allergy & the staff are amazing, they check if it is all nuts & if it is traces too. I have never had such attention to my allergy in any other hotel outside of ikos.
We definitely will be back & will continue to be part of the ikos family.

We had a lovely time here as a young family. Staff were incredibly friendly. Vicky who runs the wine tasting events was a fantastic host and we are feeling very grateful to have met her. Plate smashing in Ouzo restaurant, great food, wine and family activities. Well done team.

An Unforgettable Family Stay at Ikos Olivia
We stayed at Ikos Olivia for five nights with our family, and it was truly one of the best all-inclusive experiences we’ve ever had. This was our first time at an Ikos resort, and we chose Olivia after friends—who have been visiting Ikos Oceania for years—highly recommended it. We picked Ikos Olivia because of the private pool, and it turned out to be the perfect choice.
If you’re traveling with children, this place is simply exceptional. The Kids Club is the main attraction for any parent. The staff take such great care of the kids and keep them happily busy with fun and creative activities. It gives parents a real chance to relax, knowing their little ones are in the best hands.
The food at all the restaurants was outstanding—every meal was a pleasure. And the Deluxe Collection team deserves a special mention. Their WhatsApp service is brilliant—it makes communication so easy and smooth.
But what truly sets Ikos Olivia apart is the staff. You hardly ever hear “no” to anything you ask for. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure guests are happy. The level of warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail is something very special.
A special appreciation for the housekeeping team—they are the unsung heroes of this resort. I’ve stayed in many hotels around the world, and I’ve rarely seen such dedication. The rooms are cleaned twice a day, always with a smile, and never once did we come back to find the room skipped. They somehow find the perfect time to make sure everything is spotless. It’s small details like this that make a big difference.
Ikos Olivia is the perfect combination of luxury, relaxation, and genuine hospitality. Unfortunately, our next holiday season is already quite full, but we’re definitely going to squeeze in at least five days at one of the Ikos resorts.
A special mention to the GM for leading such a wonderful team and running such a fantastic resort. Thank you, Ikos Olivia, for an unforgettable stay—we can’t wait to return!

We had an exceptional time at Ikos Olivia. We could want for nothing. We stayed in a deluxe collection 1 bedroom garden bungalow and it was beautiful. The housekeeping team were consistent and we had the opportunity to select our own pillows! Which made for such a comfortable sleep every night. It was also lovely to have tv’s in both the living room and bedroom as we like to have noise to sleep. The garden was beautiful and the bathroom was exceptional I prefer a bath my husband prefers a shower and it was great to have both.
The food is some of the best food I’ve ever eaten we got to try all the restaurants and they are all exceptional. Flavours does the most incredible desserts I’ve ever had. The garden does in my opinion the best breakfast, Ouzo does the best dinner with a close tie to Anaya. So much choice you never get bored and we stayed for 9 days!
We were on our honeymoon and it’s a very kid friendly hotel but they make special arrangements for adults only sections which made the experience so much more joyful for us. The use of the deluxe pool was special and mostly always had it to ourselves.
The cocktails are so lovely and they have a huge range.
The concierge service is 10/10 and always on hand via WhatsApp to help you with whatever you need they were amazing.
Our only small issue is that we both don’t have driving licenses and to get to thessonaliki or other tourist spots is quite expensive by taxi especially as just a couple not too bad if you are splitting with a big group. But in the deluxe you get the use of a mini for one or two days so it’s perfect if at least one person drives!
We’d also recommend this place to couples and families they cater to children so well.
Overall an absolutely fantastic experience and would stay again! We will try other ikos resorts in the future x
