If Carlsberg did holidays…..

Jan 2023 | 234claret

We stayed here as a family of five (2 adults, 2 8 year olds & 11 year old) in June 2022 for 14 nights. Service from start to finish was absolutely wonderful with many many professional and attentive staff. We found the WhatsApp concierge really useful for booking all meals and activities. We were big fans of the yoga classes and found Katerina an exceptional teacher and person. We made use of the day in the Mini to explore the island and loved Zia. We enjoyed the Mylotopi dine out experience. The children explored the kids club a couple of times but were happier off playing themselves, though it looked nice and staff were very engaging. The wine tasting was informative, social and made for a pleasant afternoon. Decor of bedroom, lobby and general areas were tasteful and conducive to a very relaxed stay. We very much enjoyed the routine of going to the theatre in the evening for the shows. When in need of a busier vibe we took the complimentary bus to Kos town on a few occasions. All in all a perfect holiday. Booked again for June 2024!!

Just wow !! Incredible service provided by the most wonderful staff in a beautiful setting. We visited Ikos Aria end of May/beginning June 2022. It was our 1st visit to an Ikos resort and after reading all the fantastic reviews we had high expectations for our visit and we were not disappointed. From the moment you arrive the incredible staff work their magic making you feel relaxed and pampered . Stricking the balance perfectly of providing world class service but not in a pretentious way. We stayed in a junior suite with garden view , the room was large , very clean with a genourous bathroom. A very well stocked mini bar (re-stocked everyday) and room service available 24 hours (although we rarely used this because we preferred to eat/drink at the fantastic bars/restaurants which were on offer). Prior to booking we mentioned it was our daughters birthday and the most amazing cake was waiting for us in our room (the 1st of many special touches ). Part way through our stay we had the most amazing surprise from Margaret who contacted us out of the blue to offer us an upgrade to a deluxe garden view suite . Margaret explained that the room had become available and because they want to make every customers experience of Ikos as special as possible they offer upgrades wherever possible . The transfer of our belongings to our new room was arranged by Margaret everything was seemless and we were greeted in our new room with a lovely note and bottle of champagne. The deluxe garden view suite which overlooked the deluxe pool was spectacular as was the additional deluxe areas (deluxe pool / flavours ). If you are able to afford deluxe I would say it’s value for money. Restaurants Lots of choice to suit a variety of tastes . Appear to be very keen on catering for allergies or special dietary requirements although we didn’t have any they always asked . Our favourite for breakfast was Kos or Seasons; for lunch Kos or Ouzo BBQ (gets quite busy). For evening meal Provence or Seasons. Definitely worth trying them all we were expecting Anaya to be our go to but felt some of the others were more exceptional. The buffet at Flavours is very extensive and service is fantastic can get very busy at certain times in the morning, overall we prefer the Al a carte restaurants though (personal preference). Entertainment Normally we are not too fussed about evening entertainment but we were pleasantly surprised with the shows on offer in the theatre. The quality was really good , family friendly and offered something different every evening. Service The team is lead by the general manager Effie who is often seen walking around the resort talking to customers and staff. She is a lovely approachable lady who clearly cares about her staff and customers. One evening she spoke to us in Provence (we didn’t realise who she was) she asked how our stay was to which we commented on the wonderful staff , later that evening a lovely note in our room with a favourite bottle of our wine ! Margaret who manages to touch nearly everyone who stays at Ikos with her warmness and eagerness to meet customers needs. Athena a talented sommelier who ran the wine tasting course . Her knowledge and wonderful personality made the course extremely enjoyable. Athena is also the manager at Provence, one evening when we visited Provence she came to see us and provided wines to match the courses we chose. Wonderful service from Athena and Stelios and one our most memorable evenings. Kiki who worked by the main pool. This girl never stopped , making sure everyone had refreshments while they relaxed by the pool . Kiki always has such an infectious smile and a good sense of humour , we often saw her working hard in the evenings too at the theatre and white party. She made recommendations which we throughly enjoyed too , thanks Kiki. Also a big thank you to Anastasia and Chrysa at the deluxe pool who were so attentive , providing faultless personable service! Tips Book the wine tasting (start of your visit is the best time for this so you can fully appreciate the fantastic wine on offer) Book the mini if you fancy leaving the resort to explore the beautiful island , although it’s so good you may not want to leave Book the dine out option (Ikos arrange transport) either a local seafood restaurant or Greek taverna which has fanastuic views . We chose the latter lovely authentic Greek taverna although you are provided with an Ikos style menu as opposed to their own menu . We would have been keen to sample there own menu of this was made available . Book childrens club prior to arriving if you can . If you can’t (we found it was fully booked most days prior to arrival ) don’t worry too much put yourself on the waiting list and if you turn up to the holiday club reception shortly after the session starts they almost always had capacity due to cancellations Check out the complimentary non motorised water sports . We had a great time on the Pedalo exploring the sea near the little island . Any room for improvement? Firstly I’d say if you do have an issue with anything please speak with the staff they are very responsive and take feedback seriously . The only areas which we felt could be improved were ; making customers aware of everything on offer prior to your arrival. This would enable customers to better plan for their stay there is a lot on offer. We did our own research via trip advisor and Facebook pages but we still felt we potentially missed out on things. Better system fit restaurant reservations , on a couple of occasions we’d made reservations with staff once at resort but these were then lost from the system and didn’t show on the app (quickly resolved though). Outide pool could be warmer. If I won the lottery I’d treat all my nearest and dearest to a visit so I could share the wonderful experience !
