Very good but not truly exceptional

This was our second visit to an Ikos hotel having been to Ikos Andalusia last year. This hotel was not quite as good as the Spanish one but was still very impressive and we very much enjoyed our stay. Special thanks to Deluxe/Duty manager Thomas who did so much to make our honeymoon special - the extras he organised did much to make it memorable. We liked the opportunity to take out an electric Mini for a couple of days. Restaurants were good but not really exceptional and again not as good as the ones at Ikos Andalusia. Provence was the best of them but Fresco was hugely disappointing. We would recommend the adult only pool - there are not a huge number of beds but always seems to have just enough but again a more charismatic server would have been better - they have so many amazing staff in the resort but haven’t chosen the best for this pool. Overall though a great holiday and we will certainly book with Ikos again.

Great holiday, but standards slipping

This was our first visit here, but have been to other Ikos resorts. The resort was spotless, food quality was very good apart from at Anaya. There the food was poor quality, crispy duck was not well cooked or crispy, and service was poor. One night in Olivia we had very poor service, but the manager apologised and did us a special sea bass dish to make up for this. Well done! On arrival the young lady was obviously new, we were left for ages, then just pointed to the lifts. Elsewhere we have been shown to our room and had things explained. The main pool with a magical view had a kids area at one end, this was abused by guests with baby stuff all over the floor every day. Lilos in the pool were not controlled, lifeguards just talked to each other. Overall we had a great time, but standards are a little below those at other Ikos. 8/10.

Believe the hype!

Coming to the end of a fantastic week at Aria. Our first time at an Ikos resort, it won't be the last. Already booked for next year at Ikos Dassia.

Everything, from drinks to the wonderful meals, has been on point.

All staff have been amazing however a special mention must go to 3 individuals who stood out for us in particular. Vanda at Ouzo Restaurant. Joanna at Oliva Restaurant and Paola at the Lagoon Bar. They are a credit to the Ikos brand.

So as the title say's. Believe the hype and get this hotel booked. You definitely won't regret it.

An amazing experience at Ikos Aria

We have had the most amazing experience at Ikos Aria. From the moment we arrived, everything has been exceptional, but what really makes this resort special is the staff.

Every single person we have encountered has been so polite, friendly and genuinely happy to help. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and you can really feel that they care about making your stay special. It is that warmth and personal service that makes Ikos Aria stand out.

A special mention to Ummit and Anastasia, who have been wonderful throughout our stay and always go above and beyond. And of course Thomas, the Deluxe/Duty Manager, who has been fantastic.

Thomas, we really want to say a huge thank you for all your help, kindness and the extra touches you arranged for us during our stay. We genuinely appreciate how quickly you responded to everything and how much effort you put into making our holiday special. Those little extras really did make a difference in fact, they very quickly led us to rebook with Ikos for our next holiday at Ikos Olivia!

The resort itself is beautiful, the food and service are excellent, and the whole experience has been incredibly relaxing. But for us, it is the people who make Ikos Aria what it is.

We have genuinely loved our stay and would like to thank the whole team for making it such a memorable holiday. We leave with some very happy memories and a real appreciation for everyone who has looked after us so well.

Thank you, Ikos Aria, we’ll definitely be back with Ikos! ❤️

An amazing, luxurious experience

This was our 2nd Ikos experience and we booked Aria immediately after staying at Dassia, Corfu last year. It was an even better experience than last, so much so that while we were there we have already booked to upgrade to a Deluxe suite for Sept 27, and a few days later have also booked Kissamos for my wifes birthday in July 27. Its a fantastic experience, absolute luxury. The food is amazing, and the wine list so extensive you are sure to find something to your taste. Strongly recommend to book as many restaurants in advance of arrival (max 3 for non deluxe) as well as the car experience as that gets booked up quickly. The sunset evening cruise was fun, and a nice 1.5 hour away from the resort on a local small boat, but with Ikos supplied wine & snacks. Our favourite restaurant was Anaya, closely followed by Fresco & Ouzo, but all are amazing, even the buffet. Keep in mind its a family resort, so kids are well catered for, but away from the school holidays, its a bit quieter for "oldies" like us.
