Our 3rd visit to Ikos and 1st to Dassia. From the moment we arrived we knew it wasn't going to disappoint. The welcome was exceptional and we were instantly made to feel at home, with a welcome drink and an introductionto the resort. The hotel is set across 2 buildings, close enough to walk but also accessible via the buggy service. Our rooms were in the Sky building. We had interconnecting rooms which was great for us as s family of 4, particularly as we could relax with the knowledge that the children (17 and 12), were just next door. Everything about Dassia is outstanding, the bars, restaurants, beach, pools, evening entertainment, sports facilities, location and surroundings are amazing. We hired the Tesla for the day and experienced the best of Corfu, we also used the shuttle service into the town which was fantastic. The sunset cruise and waterspouts were a highlight. The staff are what makes Ikos exceptional. Each and every one of them made us feel welcome. Special mention to Maria (the best barista in the world), George in Kerkyra, George in the Grill, Diana and colleagues by the pool, Claude, pool towels, and many others, whose names we sadly can't remember. Our stand out member of staff has to be the hotel manager Katarina, who, without a doubt is an inspiration to hotel managers the world over. She is kind, considerate, friendly and welcoming whilst retaining a high level of professionalism. Despite being incredibly busy, she always made time to check in and ensure everything was ok with our holiday. A lifelong friend made and a credit to Ikos. The only criticism we would make is that the annual increase in price to stay at Ikos has unfortunately priced us out and so it is unlikely we will be able to return. But, we have been privileged with being able to holiday in Ikos on 3 occasions,
