Ikos Odisia

Nice boat trip around corfu old town. Amazing crew nice music and views

Don’t miss that trip!!!! Exceptional!!

A fantastic stay with some of the most incredible people and views we’ve ever seen.

We’ve stayed at several Ikos resorts before as a couple and with friends (no kids), and Ikos Odisia really stands out. The first thing that struck us was just how beautiful and expansive the resort is. It’s huge, with the hills and different areas giving it a completely different feel from some of the other Ikos properties. The views are absolutely breathtaking. The views from Elia and Olivia in particular were the best we’ve ever seen at an Ikos.

We stayed in the Garden Village which is a great place for couples to stay as its right by the adults only pool. While it is a family resort, we were not bothered by the amount of children at all. The resort is so large it is always very easy to find a quiet peaceful corner. The resort is particularly good at separating the families to the adults at the restaurants as they have dedicated quiet zones with no young kids. We thought this was a great addition.

The resort is very large, so buggies are really useful, particularly for getting to some of the restaurants. They were generally very easy to call and use but at peak times there was a slight wait.

The food throughout the resort was consistently very good. Sea Grill was our favourite, particularly the steak, which was fantastic. We also loved the duck ragu at Fresco and the lamb chops at Olivia and Elia, which were incredibly tender. And a special mention has to go to the soft cookie dessert at Sea Grill. We became obsessed and ended up going back after dinner just for the cookies! The staff were so lovely and accommodating that they eventually knew exactly what we were coming for.

Dinner reservations were straightforward. We booked most of ours in advance, and when we wanted to change a couple during the week, the team were very helpful and usually managed to find availability. The whatsapp concierge is such a great service, we used it every day and it is so useful.

The service is another huge strength of Odisia. The vast majority of staff we encountered were genuinely lovely, friendly and incredibly helpful.

A particular standout was Nicholas, the Front of House Manager, who was exceptional. He genuinely went above and beyond for us on several occasions to make our stay as amazing as possible. He was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and clearly cares hugely about both the guest experience and the hotel. We saw him speaking with lots of different guests throughout our stay, and he always made the time to help. He is a real asset to Ikos Odisia and genuinely made such difference to our holiday. He really embodies the Ikos brand and I hope they keep hold of him for a very long time.

We also had some lovely interactions with Robert at the Deluxe Pool, who was fantastic and clearly takes a lot of pride in making the deluxe pool experience as amazing as possible. Anaisa and Dimitra at the Deluxe Beach, Jumaine at the Deluxe Beach, Joseph and Asimina at reception, Thomas at Anaya, Banny at Elia, Konstantina at the Hertz desk, and Entri, one of the buggy drivers, all deserve a special mention for their kindness and service. There were many buggy drivers who were also lovely but unfortunately did not catch all their names !

There are always little things that can be improved at any resort, but overall we had a fantastic stay. The adult entertainment and activities is one thing we think could be improved upon at all the ikos resorts, aswell as the quality and consistency of the cocktails. However in the grand scheme of things, we would genuinely give this resort a 9.5/10. A fair chunk of that rating is down to the staff, especially Nicholas.

Odisia is beautiful - the food is consistently high quality, the service is warm and the setting is genuinely spectacular. We would absolutely return and would happily recommend Ikos Odisia to anyone looking for a luxurious, relaxing stay with exceptional views and service.
