Spending just a day at Ikos Odisia was enough to understand why the resort has such a strong reputation. The surroundings are stunning, but it was the people who truly defined the experience.
Yanis stood out immediately. From the first interaction, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed. His professionalism was matched by a genuine warmth, and the way he shared his knowledge—particularly around drinks—made every recommendation feel tailored. He struck exactly the right balance: attentive when needed, yet never overwhelming. Thanks to him, the day felt far more special than we could have expected.
Lia also left a lasting impression. She brought energy and positivity to every moment and made sure we were looked after throughout. Her approachable nature and natural attentiveness created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and she carried out everything with such ease that it set the tone for the whole visit.
Although our time at Ikos Odisia was short, both Yanis and Lia turned it into something memorable. Their warmth and dedication made the day exceptional, and they are a real credit to the resort.

BE AWARE - SOME ROOM CATEGORIES ARE UNSUITABLE FOR FAMILIES WITH NON-WALKERS
BE AWARE - THE SHUTTLE SERVICE IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION - ITS NOW ON-DEMAND
We had a lovely week-long stay at Ikos Odisia, but there were a few issues.
Firstly, some room categories are not suitable for families with small children, especially non-walkers. We booked a ‘Superior Double Room’ with a balcony for two adults and a one-year-old pre-walker. We knew it would be on the 1st floor, but the booking site didn’t mention that there are no lifts in any of the accommodation blocks. So, we had to carry our baby and pushchair up two flights of stairs each time. The cheapest room on the ground floor is a ‘Superior Double Room with Private Garden’.
Secondly, the resort has a large fleet of golf carts called ‘Club Cars’ that run around the grounds. There are benches and ‘Shuttle’ signs, so we assumed that waiting by one of these signs would be the right way to get a lift. However, after two cars went past without stopping, we messaged the e-concierge. They told us that the shuttle stops were no longer in use and that we should message them with our location, and a cart would be sent for us. This was a better service, but it was not advertised anywhere.
My suggestion is to add little ‘location info’ signs to each of the existing shuttle stops, along with the QR code for the e-concierge. This would inform guests of the new process and make it easier for them to know where they want to be picked up from.
The resort was immaculately maintained, with everything clean and tidy, and no major signs of wear and tear despite our late season stay. We easily navigated the resort, even with our buggy, except for our original room. Two specialty restaurants were on the first floor above reception with lifts, while the other two were at the top of a long uphill path to the cliffs, which we accessed with a club car. Everywhere else had ramps and step-free access.
The room was spacious enough for two adults and a baby, even the original Superior Double, and certainly the upgraded Superior Double with Private Garden.
The buffet restaurants were well managed, with regularly replaced and clean dishes. One or two of the cleaning staff seemed to forget that guests needed to actually access the buffet on occasion, and were swooping in to clean without letting us actually get to the food... but most of the time, it was excellent. The a-la-carte restaurants served good food, with only a few slip-ups corrected promptly.
The resort offered high-quality child and baby equipment, including clean and well-presented Stokke high chairs and a sturdy cot in our room. They also offered hire of pushchairs and bikes, including toddler bikes, for a nominal fee.
The staff were friendly and attentive, especially to our little one, who seemed to be a big favourite.

Had an amazing time at this stunning resort. Beautiful sea views, loads of pools and separate children’s pool. Fine wine, loads of a la carte dining choices with a reservation each night. Fantastic theatre entertainment. Sunset evening boat trip & complimentary water sports. It’s our 9th time visiting an Ikos resort and first time at Odisia. Our experience heightened by Alexis, Vasila, Zoe & Maria. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed it and have booked for next year already! Thanks Ikos

Incredible and truly 5* experience at this beautiful resort. The entire team was so helpful, welcoming and always available to assist with anything we might need. Special thanks to Pavel, Panayiotis, Kimon, Milos, George and Adriana for taking care of us during our stay!

Ikos Odisia - The Gold Standard
Every time we visit an Ikos we rate it more highly. Maybe it’s because they keep upping their game in terms of customer satisfaction or maybe it’s because they refresh the resorts.
Having booked we contacted reception to arrange the airport transfer – that’s right, they collect you at their booth at arrivals and take you to the hotel – then we requested the double bed configuration, and then we requested bookings at the A La Carte restaurants for the first couple of nights. Everything was perfectly arranged.
The experience starts at arrivals, with a greeting, our bags are in the transport, our driver guides and delivers us to Odisia reception, the bags are taken from the transport, then it hits you as you enter reception. The smell, the flowery fresh smell that Ikos receptions have. A young lady explains everything we need to know. We board a buggy and have a tour of the very impressive and expansive resort, learning where everything is, and are taken to the room, which was a surprise and delight – a walk out garden room onto the adults only pool.
The resort is new, it large because it is generously laid out with open spaces and many smaller block accommodation.
We visited all the restaurants, which are excellent. Each one has stunning views and each one provided all the entertainment that we wanted for the evening.
As always, the staff are excellent, attentive, very friendly, entertaining.
Staff of note for us were – Felina, Erato, Eva, Aris, Alexis.
We have just booked again for another Ikos, can’t wait.
