Ikaros Beach Resort & Spa

There isn’t a big enough box for what I could say. The place is magical, the people that work here are exceptional and the experience from beginning to end has been something only dreams are made of. All inclusive is so worth while, the restaurants are amazing you can tell the chefs are passionate about cooking. The bar staff can’t do enough for you. The ladies who welcome you at dinner with such beautiful smiles. Rooms are cleaned to such high quality everyday and supplied with clean towels daily and fresh bottles of water. Own private beach with the best sun beds and you can use the bar to take drinks onto the beach. We also tried the à la carte Italian restaurant and our experience was phenomenal. Credit to every single team member because that’s who makes the experience as exceptional as it is. I wish I could stay longer because it feels like a piece of heaven here.

I had a 70 minute massage and 20 minutes body scrub. The experience was fantastic. My massage therapist was Alexandra. Alexandra is very talented, friendly and makes you feel at ease. I felt relaxed from the very beginning! 100% recommend.

Our second visit in 6 months! We love this resort. Food is fantastic so much choice and all freshly cooked with theme nights and entertainment daily even during off peak seasons. The best half board resort we have been too!. Even had champagne breakfast on Sunday morning at no extra cost! Staff are so welcoming and go out of their way to ensure you have a lovely holiday. The facilities and location are great. 15 mins walk into Malia town. Im sure we will be back again soon 😊 Thank you Ikaros for another lovely holiday ❤️

Just had a very nice stay at this hotel. The complex is beautifully built in a traditional style comprising lots of bungalow style rooms in a network of walkways and hotel rooms also. The main restaurant serves an extensive range of food with a daily change to the theme and we always found lots of lovely dishes to choose from. We didn't feel the need to eat out at all. We also ate at the beach restaurant for lunch on 2 occasions and Alex was very helpful and friendly. I would like to give a mention to the Olive restaurant staff but there are just too many to remember! Maria looked after us every morning at breakfast and was always watching and waiting to pour more coffe and clear empty plates. Our room was positioned very central to the main bar, beach and restaurants which was great. Special thanks to Sandeep, Maria, Penelope, Arbri and George who looked after us evey evening at the main bar. I have seen reviews suggesting that we wouldn't be served at the bar and could expect to wait 15 minutes for a drink. We did not have the same experience. The staff were quite happy for us to order at the bar and were very attentive! Understandably, when the entertainment was up and running and the bar was busy, they preferred to take your order and deliver asap but in order of first ordered to last because of course lots of people also wanted drinks delivered to their tables. The entertainment was really varied and good quality with singing artists, dance groups and a disco night. Overall, it was dubbed a 5 star and I believe it really is! Great place and we hope to return. Thanks to all for a great holiday.

My husband and I had a very relaxing 4 night stay at the end of April. We just wish it was longer! The hotel is absolutely stunning! So aesthetically pleasing and immaculate. We were very lucky with the weather and everyday was beautiful.. as I know there was some bad weather before we got there, and more forecast after we left. We had a superior garden view which was huge, immaculate and cleaned well every day. The bed was very comfortable, with good quality bedding and pillows. We even had a shared pool between us and 2 other rooms which we weren’t expecting. The pools were great, if a little chilly 🥶 but once in were fine. There was low key music playing which we enjoyed. There were plenty of sun beds throughout the day, so no need for the usual 'reserving' Food was good with lots of choices, temperature wasn’t always great, but with people opening the dishes constantly, they will get cool. The meat and fish was lovely. The white wine was good on the AI, but didn’t think much of the pre mixed cocktails, more of a strong alcohol taste than anything. I would have liked more of a variety of juices at breakfast too, as there was only orange (which was quite bitter) and water. All the staff were so friendly and were always smiling.. they looked like they enjoyed their jobs! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
