Ikos Olivia

Brilliant stay. In particular our 2 and 4 year old loved their swimming lessons with Despina!

The Pinnacle of All-Inclusive – An Exceptional 10-Night Stay We have just returned from a fantastic 10-night stay at Ikos Olivia (June 2026). This was our very first experience with the Ikos brand, and it is safe to say it won’t be our last. While the upfront cost is on the higher side, it genuinely represents great value if you appreciate good food and drink. Ikos is the absolute pinnacle of all-inclusive, you could easily not spend a single penny during your entire time here. Here is a breakdown of what made our stay so memorable: Exceptional, Relaxed Service The service throughout the resort is phenomenal. Nothing was ever too much trouble, yet it was delivered in a relaxed, effortless way that never felt over the top or forced. It made us feel completely comfortable from day one. A few special shout-outs to the staff who made our trip: Agapi (The Garden restaurant): Our dining experience with Agapi was wonderful. Her charm and warmth made our evening incredibly memorable. Mayen (Pool Attendant): His boundless enthusiasm and constant smile made every single day by the pool a joy. He is a massive credit to the hotel and always ensured we had a relaxing day. Stella & Thomas (Lobby Bar): Whether we dropped in for afternoon drinks or a nightcap, their friendly nature and welcoming smiles always put us at ease and left us in the best mood before or after dinner. Fantastic Food & Drink We made a point of trying all the restaurants on-site. Ouzo (Greek) and Fresco (Italian) were our absolute standouts, but honestly, even the buffet restaurant is extremely nice. It completely redefines what you usually expect from a holiday buffet. Smooth Logistics & Exploring The Arrival: The hotel is about an hour from Thessaloniki airport, and the complimentary return airport transfer made the entire travel experience seamless and stress-free. The Tesla/Mini Drive: Taking advantage of the complimentary car hire is an absolute must. We took the car out for a day trip to Orange Beach (about an hour's drive away). I cannot recommend this enough if you want to see some of the prettiest beaches and some of the bluest water in Europe! We had a brilliant time and are already looking forward to our next Ikos trip.

We are a family of 4 and visited Ikos Olivia for the 2nd time. The resort is stunning with flowers and olive trees everywhere. Food is excellent, restaurants beautifully located and all the staff in the resort is very friendly and attentive. We were really impressed with the high level of service and dedication. Just to mention some of them: Elena Simeonidou from the deluxe collection team. She welcomed us warmly and was always around to make our holiday extra special. Eleni Papadima, nutritionisr at Ikos Olivia: She took perfect care of our little daughter, who has a severe food allergy, organizing all her meals. even checking in on us on her free day. leaving her happy with delicious safe food and so enabling us to have a relaxed worryfree stay. Despoina, waterfin swimming instructor: Out girls loved her! Her mermaid lessons at the beach pool were great fun and are highly recommended! She taught them höw to swim, dive and even dance in their mermaid costumes. And all that in a highly professionell and loving way. Service staff at the deluxe pool. Unfortunately wie don‘t remember the names but we felt spoilt all day. The Restaurant manager and his staff at Ouzo: We experienced great service everywhere but at Ouzo for us it felt extra perfect and attentive. We already miss Ikos Olivia cannot wait to return.

Just returned from a truly memorable stay at Ikos Olivia with daughters family. The all-in concept really worked for us and would happily recommend it, especially for families. There are several locations which are adults only for a bit of peace and quiet, but it’s great for children too, with lots of activities. The extensive gardens are very well maintained and I loved the herb garden. I can especially recommend Flavors Restaurant- the buffet is outstanding, and also Fresco (great Italian food). We had dinner on the beach one night which was great, well looked after by Ioannis from the Ouzo (Greek) restaurant as the sun went down. Usually for breakfast we went to the adults only restaurant (The Garden) as we were not on grand parent duty at the time. The staff everywhere are well trained and impeccably polite, but special mention goes to the lady manager in charge of the Garden who always gave us a great greeting and top service, and also Effy who was amazing. Lastly we managed to get the best Pimm’s we've had outside London prepared by the barman in the bar called Potami - don’t forget to ask for it! I thoroughly recommend this hotel concept where nearly all facilities, food and beverages are included. It made life very relaxing there.

We have just returned from a weeks stay with our 2 year old daughter! We cannot recommend Ikos Olivia enough! The staff are fantastic; the food is of a great standard and the facilities are excellent! We loved flavours buffet and actually found the food nicer than some we had at the à la carte’s. My daughter loved the kids pool & the splash pool. A special shout out to Carlos and Jenny around the pool for always going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! Carlos’s energy is infectious! We will be back!
