We booked Ikos Dassia to celebrate 10 years of marriage and to renew our vows with our three young daughters. We were recommended Ikos and decided on Dassia due to the picturesque beach and facilities. This hotel and service will not disappoint, firstly the hotel smelt incredible, we were told it was “the Ikos scent” - it felt like I’d walked into a spa on arrival. We were then met by our personal concierge (Karin) we were incredibly lucky to have her as a contact throughout our stay. Karin ensured our stay was everything we wanted and more, requests/queries - nothing was too much. She honestly made our stay very special and had a personal approach to all communication. If you can request her for your stay to experience the service we had, I’d highly recommend. We had a deluxe package and loved the extras that this included - a magical dinner on the beach, the ability to visit the deluxe pool and relax in the four postered beach sun beds, we explored in the Tesla for a day and set sail on the sunset cruise. The beach bag was an added bonus and came in very handy. The service - where do I start!! From our first pool visit, the beach buddies watched us walk to empty sun beds (of which height of the season and there was always plenty - no towel wars witnessed) before we took our flip flops off, fresh towels were placed ready for our day of relaxing. And relax is exactly what we did - even with 3 young children. The pool service was frequent and always with a smile - fresh cold water, cocktails and pool food delivered quickly, you will not need to leave your sun bed! We had paid for a room with a swimming pool and this came with an added bonus of the delightful balcony service - again this was throughout our stay and again no need to leave the comfort of your own accommodation and sun bed. Food - I haven’t experienced the range and quality provided at Dassia before. Again our deluxe package meant we could prebook all of our reservations (I’d highly recommend this) our 10 night stay gave us the ability to try every restaurant and the dine out option too. The staff at each restaurant again were personal and couldn’t do enough. One experience - we had to rush our meal so our young children could get to the evening entertainment, a member of staff caught us leaving and asked if everything was okay as we hadn’t had dessert. We explained we would love to have had dessert however we needed to leave as the children wanted to enjoy the fabulous entertainment. She then asked what time we would be back at the room - on arrival back to our room later that night we were met with a selection of desserts from the menu of the restaurant we had visited and a bottle of champagne, a lovely treat that we felt went above and beyond. Each morning for ease and the availability of Nutella pancakes we ate breakfast at the buffet - within two days our room number was learnt and we were greeted and immediately taken outside which is where we had requested to eat the previous day. The view was dreamy and a lovely way to start the day. The children’s food recommendation was the gelato/ Ice cream parlours, there are two on the complex. An added bonus, the ice cream is “homemade” which made me feel slightly better after the 5th visit in one day. The facilities - As a family we visited all pools which were large, plenty of sun beds and never felt crowded. We spent time at the beautiful beach, used the water sports (an additional cost for some) booked a highly recommended boat day with Maria just off the jetty. Ran around the splash park to cool down. Took advantage of the complimentary bus service to Corfu town at night which was magical and full of shops to fulfil the gift requirements of friendship bracelets and souvenirs to keep as a memory of our wonderful travels. Overall, we as a family felt that our stay at Ikos Dassia made celebrating our anniversary extremely special. It was a holiday that allowed our family to make incredible memories. I had read this before our stay - there is one problem with Ikos….. we booked Dassia as a one off, special holiday - we have already looked at returning. We have been well and truly mesmerised by delights of the Ikos magic.
