Ikos Olivia

Yes it’s expensive and yes it’s becoming even more expensive based on our 2025 price for IKOS Aria but WOW! From the moment your private transfer arrives and you walk through the doors the beautiful experience begins. The smells throughout the hotel are like walking into a spa. Everywhere is spotless, the staff are amazing (ALL OF THEM), any mistakes are dealt with professionally and promptly. It won’t take you long to realise that it’s worth every penny. The food in every restaurant was of the highest quality. It really was like eating in a fine dining establishment 3 times a day. My only complaint is unfortunately with other people who live in an entitled bubble of self importance and lack any manners. I wish the staff would be given the power to “politely” ask people when dining not to stick iPads in front their kids on full volume as it spoils the beautiful ambience. I have kids so know full well how challenging it can be but I cannot believe the amount of people who carry out video calls to friends back home on full volume and let their kids run about without keeping an eye on them. The hotel is for everyone guys not just you and your little “Magnus” or “Magenta” The service we received from poolside was top notch. “Jenny” was sooo helpful and worked so hard. It took several days to get a decent rum and coke though as I kept getting either flat coke or diet. You only get white rum unless you are deluxe. Would be nice to get the Havana 7 and I did ask on several occasions. Beach area was great. Free paddle boarding, pedalo and canoes. The jet ski hire wasn’t cheap but very fast and again, an amazing experience. The activities company at the end of the beach were amazing and recommended the most amazing boat trip we did which was one of the most beautiful experiences we have ever had as a family. Full day Kavourotrypes Beach trip with Lux Sea Cruises was simply heaven. White party on Friday is great fun and cool tunes from the DJ and saxophonist. The buffet and evening bar areas are the most amazing place to chill after your meal and meet friends and let the kids play on the beach. Don’t miss out on your day with the Tesla. We explored some of the campsites with facilities down the Sithonia peninsula and the hotel gave us the most amazing packed lunch with anything we wanted. Wraps, donuts, fruit, wine, water etc. What a great way to explore the area. The buffet was the best we have ever experienced at any hotel. Extremely varied and plentiful. If you can get someone to look after the kids then take advantage of breakfast in the adults only breakfast restaurant which was amazing. Overall it is simply one of the best resorts we have ever experienced so we booked IKOS Aria on Kos for 2025. Price has gone up considerably though! It might still be worth it for unparalleled luxury and gold standard service from amazing staff!

The service is incredible. Absolutely first class Nothing is too much trouble. Fantastic food with a fabulous choice of a la carte options. Beautiful landscaping and great amenities. The what’s app system to communicate with the hotel was brilliant.

Been to Olivia 16 times loved it the first time but just gets better and better. Everything about this hotel from management the staff the maids the ground staff all so very friendly and really do look after you. The rooms are spotless the food fantastic the service is top drawer. We have done Oceania 19 times and actually saw Olivia being built but wow Olivia is for us. You just can’t fault this resort at all. We’ve done Andalusia Dassia Corfu but in our opinion Olivia ticks all the boxes for us. Maria the manager, George assistant manager along with Athina all come to speak with you it’s a fantastic experience always asking if everything is good and if it’s not then they will sort it. Thank you to each and everyone of you and see you in May
