Ikos Odisia

The layout of this hotel has been so well considered, making the most of the landscape, with many of the restaurants having absolutely stunning views. The beach is beautiful and the pools and rooms are to the usual Ikos standard. It’s true that’s it’s quite spread out, but we are staying up by the gym and find the longest walk to anywhere is only 10 mins. Appreciate this can still be a bit of a trek for some if you have young children or others who struggle to walk- especially in the heat- and the buggies can be a bit hit and miss. I have been a little underwhelmed by the quality of the food here, which has been well below the standard we experienced in Andalusia. I would say that is the same for the service too. In fact, a combination of the quality of food and service at Andalusia in the Odisia location would make the perfect Ikos holiday! There’s lots to like about the resort though- the views from Elia, Ouzo and Olivia and the wonderful beach. The staff are friendly on the whole and work hard. The food is still good, and occasionally brilliant and the wine and cocktails are varied and well made. If I’m being picky though, I think there is a bit of a way to go before this hotel really achieves a 5* status, which means it’s not yet value for money.

Our wonderful holidays at outstanding Ikos Odisia Our third stay at Ikos Odisia Resort from 11 to 16 August 2024. We would like to thank Tania Chouvarda of Ikos Resorts Reservations for helping us to find a room last minute so that we could enjoy another wonderful holiday at Ikos Odisia. We have visited Ikos Aria, Ikos Andalusia, Ikos Porto Petro, Ikos Dassia and Sani Beach. These are all excellent resorts and we enjoyed them all, but Ikos Odisia is still our number one. Odisia is outstanding because of the beautiful location of the restaurants. They are nicely embedded in the surrounding nature. The view is nicest from the restaurant Elia, located on top at the end of the resort’s peninsula. We had an immense view over the sea including the island mountains, Corfu town and the whole Dassia bay. At the ouzo restaurant we liked the view of the sea with the pier for the sailing boats, the big tree for the shadow, and the two little beaches. At the Fresco restaurant we liked the wide sea view with Corfu town visible in the distance. For both restaurants Azul and Anaya, located at the main building, we liked the enormous view over the swimming pools. Odisia is outstanding because of all the friendly and helpful staff members. We especially want to thank Mr. Vasilis (guest relations) and Mr. Stamatis Ramnalis for their warm and friendly welcome when we arrived at the hotel. They both gave us a very, very pleasant feeling of arriving in our second home. When Mr. Stamatis heard about my knee problem, he arranged a ground floor room for us, which was much easier and made us really happy. In all the restaurants the food was delicious. We want to give special thanks to Niki, Smaragda and Chrystos at Flavors, Thomas and Agapi at Azul, Yulia and Fotini (during our second stay) at Fresco, and Ilias at Ouzo. We found Niki, Illias and the wine sommelier of Elia the most professional. Niki really is an endearing person. The house keeping did a great job. Every day, the room was very well maintained and each evening the turn down service asked if we need new towels. We also used the buggy’s. At our first visit in August 2023, we often had to wait for a buggy, so sometimes we walked to the restaurants. This year during our second stay (27 June till 4 July) and our third stay (11 till 16 August) we never had to wait more than a few minutes for a buggy to arrive. We appreciate the improvement of the buggy service. Every morning we went to the watersports, floating at sea with a pedalo. We thank the watersport staff for helping us gently in the pedalo. Afterwards we used the sunbeds at the little beach before Sea Grill restaurant. Dyonisius of the Sea Grill restaurant brings us immediately water and a tasty virgin mojito. Too bad the holiday was over too quickly. As we had to leave the hotel at 18.30, we thank Vasilis of the guest relations who could arrange a late check out from the hotel. There are so many, many things to be grateful for. We will definitely come back in 2025 to the outstanding Ikos Odisia. Joseph Struyf and Josette Vranckx.

We LOVED every minute of our stay here! Such a beautiful hotel, in a tranquil setting with fantastic food, facilities and staff! As the hotel is spread out, it never feels busy and you never feel on top of other guests. The beach front is beautiful and the sea so calm and warm! The staff here blew us away with their attentiveness, warmth and friendliness. It’s hard to pick a favourite restaurant but Oliva and Ouzo were fab for dinner, Elia brilliant for evening drinks and dj sunset sessions. We loved our long lazy lunches at Fresco. We will be back next year! Thank you Ikos Odisia!

This is our second stay at Ikos Odisia and we have visited other Ikos resorts. This resort is beautiful, it has been carefully designed so that it does not feel busy at full capacity and has enough staff to ensure that the resort runs smoothly and calmly. The views from Elia and Olivia restaurant are breathtaking - again designed so carefully to capture the beauty of the location. The food and drink at this resort are like no other all inclusive I have been too. The menus are well thought out and have a good choice. All the meals we had in the restaurants were lovely and the choice of wine was excellent. During the day we spent it either at the garden pool, where the staff were absolutely amazing or by the beach which was lovely with a slight breeze. In the evening our children made use of the football pitch along with other children of all ages and nationalities. Due to the size of the resort they provide a buggy service which is very helpful especially when it is 40 degrees heat or you are running late for dinner! Guest relations are always on hand to make sure your stay is the best it can be. They will always ensure any issue is resolved and really do want to do their best. The Guest Relations Manager Anastasia is the Jewell in this crown- she is very caring and will make your stay even better than the previous time! Now this resort has had time to settle in I can see how it will be the flag ship of the Ikos resorts. It has a great vibe and you will have a truly fantastic holiday.

We've recently returned from twelve amazing days at the beautiful Ikos Odisia. We easily could have stayed twelve days more. This is our third visit to an IKOS hotel, after previously staying at Andalusia and Aria. We really thought that Aria would be hard to beat but Odisia exceeded all of our expectations. The setting and views are breathtaking, the restaurants are stunning, particularly Ouzo, Oliva and Elia and the food and service is impeccable. We are a family of 3 and we stayed in a Junior Bungalow Suite in the Sea Village. The rooms were spacious and kept spotless. We personally loved the Sea Village, it was the perfect location for us in a beautiful setting. We spent most of our days by the pool and have to mention all the amazing staff who work so hard. Including Pedro, Ocean, Dimitra, Tomas. It was so hot in August and nothing was too much trouble for these guys and the whole team. It's a large spacious resort, but we enjoyed the walk between restaurants, but if it was too hot its easy to flag down one of the buggies. All of the buggy drivers were so friendly and great to chat to and deserve a mention. A big special mention to Hairam in guest relations. Who really went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay. His professionalism and attention to details were of the highest standard, and we felt that nothing was too much trouble for him. Other staff who stood out for us are George in Anaya, Vasilis in the lobby bar, The sommeliers at Elia and Andiopi in guest relations, but every single member of staff is outstanding and it's the service at IKOS that makes us want to keep returning. We loved our holiday at Ikos Odisia and have already booked to come back next year. Thankyou for a wonderful holiday. The Gibson family
