Ikaros Beach Resort & Spa

Literally came back yesterday. Honestly the most beautiful and friendlist hotel i have ever been to. We had room 405 lovely. Had everything we needed. We arrived late in the evening not expecting to be able to eat anything but the restaurant had left us a meal with bread and fruit plate. So kind and attentive. The pools were amazing. We made some wonderful German friends. My husband had 3 treatments in the spa, i had a lovely facial on friday. Wendy and Katerina were amazing ( now facebook friends) We will be back thats for sure, we didn't even go off site we were too happy wandering around, although i will miss my cat i called Bobbin. It was hard to say goodbye yesterday. Always on the wall outside the main buffet restaurant and the bar outside with a bent ear. Will see you all again. Have a great rest, roll on 2026!! Well done to all the staff, they all work incredibly hard

Amazing 5 star Resort for couples who wants a romantic getaway. We went there in early November and had a nice experience with the Spa and Wellness Team: Wendy, Christina and Tina. We enjoyed 90 minutes Cretean massage and facials. Highly recommend to spend some extra bucks to get nice and relaxing time.

Great resort, very relaxing, friendly and peaceful overall. The spa is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Overall is a great experience, this was my third time returning and would definitely come back.

Decided to take advantage of some late sun and booked a getaway in late October. We were not disappointed. The weather obliged with pleasant 27c most days and the hotel was magnificent. In recent times we have stayed in accomodation that claims to be 5* but Ikaros Beach truly is. The reception area is beautiful and welcoming and perhaps check in could be less reliant on tech for the older guests. However, once checked in our cases were delivered to a modern beautiful designed room which included a garden and hot tub. The grounds are amazing with a lovely Creten village feel. Lots of lovely pools and plenty of sun loungers so no stress with towels and early morning rush to secure a place by the pool. The beach area has an abundance of loungers and the sandy beach with shower facilities is also beyond expectations. The sea was pleasant to bath despite the time of year. I do believe dining is where the Ikaros excels. The main dining area offers a great variety of food pizza, pasta, greek and much more. Breakfast options are plentiful and if being picky the porridge could do with a little recipe review as it was often oats in milk rather than integrated. There are three a la carte options Greek, Italian and Asian. All with sea views, great service and ambience. Shout out to the Asian restaurant staff for there care and attention even providing a blanket for us for the night chill. The bar areas are also great. Well stocked and again great service. Shout out to George and Marian for going the extra mile and their engaging and friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble allowing us to relax in this special place. Rooms were serviced daily with top ups of drinks and changes of towels etc. Again this was discrete and low key. I particularly like the fact that you requested a room clean as you vacated your room rather than the early morning intrusive and uncomfortable knocks you experience in some hotels - great touch. The test of any holiday/hotel is, would we go back? The answer is 'YES'. We are already exploring dates for an early May return in 2026. Like I note there are some minor negative feedbacks in our contribution. Perfect is hard to attain but with slight tweaks then Ikaros will be very close to it Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Amazing stay at Ikaros Beach Resort in Crete! My wife and I had a four night stay here recently and it was a fantastic holiday. The resort is beautiful, our ocean front suite with private pool was incredible, the food was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful and the overall experience was brilliant. By the end of day one we were planning our next visit! Travelling with Crohn’s disease isn’t always easy, but Giannis and his staff were so incredibly helpful with food selections that they made our stay so very simple. They were attentive and understood my dietary requirements which meant I didn’t have to worry about it at all. We are going to return next October and can’t wait! Thank you so much and see you again in 2026!
