The Ikos Olivia is absolutely a five star resort. Everything about our holiday was brilliant. We met some very nice people and enjoyed lovely weather combined with excellent (excellent!!) food. The resort is on the flat so is accessible for any traveller. It is very well maintained and the service and staff could not have been more helpful.

The rooms was very nice and extremely clean. As stated the food was exceptional and available all day. The bar staff had obviously been very well trained to mix cocktails and they were all delicious.

I will definitely look to travel to this resort or any other Ikos resort if they are all to this standard.

Our holiday was just what was needed after a busy season. Ikos Olivia did not disappoint. We arrived at 11.00 pm to be greeted by friendly staff, hot towels, champagne and a healthy snack to eat in our upgraded room.

All of the staff in the resort; cleaners, gardeners, catering, maintenance, waiters and managers were friendly, professional and eager to please. They really seemed to mean, 'have a nice day' rather than a sentence trotted out on a regular basis. They were sincere in their wish that our holiday was a positive experience.

Hotel staff enforce what they write about leaving towels on sunbeds - the first time that I have known this to happen and it made for a much better environment and eradicated the need to sit in one place all day, in case another sun bed was unavailable

The restaurants were superb and worthy of first class recommendations. Our favourites were French and Greek; but the main restauarant does not disappoint either and we sampled marvellous creations by the main chefs on a daily basis. No-one need to worry if they cannot secure a reservation in a themed restaurant, the main serving area is equally stylish and the food is of a very high standard. We have booked to visit Ikos Olivia again in 2017 and Ikos Oceania in 2016 - the first time that we have made repeat visits to a particular hotel; such was our favourable experience. A superb holiday - thank you

This was the perfect break for us. First time at an all inclusive resort so a little hesitant as to what to expect. What a wonderful surprise. The food in the main dining room excellent catering for every need and taste and beautifully prepared and presented. The addition of other restaurant options was a real plus meeting again a high standard of dining.

The staff exceeded in every way to meet your needs, always pleasant, polite and ready to go that extra mile.

Exceptional spa and treatments with quality beauty products used.

We stayed in the deluxe suites which we felt were value for money. Would not hesitate and have in fact, recommended this resort to so many more friends and family. Both my daughters and their families have spent holidays here and feel the child facilities excel being a safe environment and competent staff.

Can't wait to return perhaps this time to try the Olivia.

This was our second visit to Oceania and I think it was better than the first. From the moment we arrived and during our ten day stay we were treated like royalty, nothing was too much trouble and if you needed anything all you had to do was ask. The variety and quality of the food was very good and the choice of cocktails endless.We stayed in block 5 with lovely views and the meal on the beach was great.

All in all a fantastic holiday and will be returning to Oceania as soon as we can.

We had a great fun relaxing family holiday at Olivia! Couldn't fault on anything apart from the evening entertainment! We went in April and there weren't any evening entertainment suitable for the children - probably early in the season? We typically don't like to go back to the same place for holidays but we will definitely go back to Olivia in the near future!

Ikos Oceania is possibly the nicest hotel we have ever had the privilege of staying in. The service by all the staff was impeccable,the meals and drinks were extensive and of excellent quality. The hotel facilities were overall exceptional. Can't wait to go back.

Fabulous hotel and lovely friendly staff. We will be back.

I loved it last September shortly after hotel opened with friends and immediately arranged a family holiday for 14, including 6 children, this year. Worried that wouldn't be as good this year but it was even better with established gardens and some additional facilities so everyone was thrilled and couldn't believe standard of accommodation, food, drinks and wide range of attractions/sports facilities. We ate in all the a la carte restaurants as well as the "Dine out" opportunity in one of the village tavernas. They are all fabulous, as was Flavors the buffet restaurant open every mealtime. Everyone wants to return! Hotel runs short coach excursions for €10; a few of us tried the trip to Nea Moudania, the capital of the region, for the farmers market. Not a lot there and definitely not a typical Greek town/village with white-washed walls and geraniums, as it is all apartments and just a small commercial town and fishing port so wouldn't recommend it. Wouldn't put me off the other excursions though if I return.

Ikos Olivia is a perfect resort for families with children of all ages. There are plenty of activities for the children and adults. The service provided by all of the staff is of top quality and the hotel manager and assistant hotel managers consistently ensure all of your needs and wants from a holiday are met. We booked our second stay a week after returning home which says a lot considering we have never returned to a resort we've previously visited.

I have already written to the manager at the Ikos Olivia (soon after we got back to the UK).

To repeat; this was our second visit to the hotel and we were just as delighted with our stay as we were on our first holiday.

The accommodation was superb, all the restaurants offered first class food with excellent, service and the hotel staff were outstanding - everyone was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful - nothing was too much trouble.

My wife and I look forward to returning in the near future.

This was one of the best holidays we have had!

The food was tremendous.

The service was out of this world and the staff amazing.

Value for money was unbelievable , If I had paid twice the amount it would still have been amazing.

The magic no. is 9.....reception , could not be more helpful for everything. help.

As a family, this holiday was everything we were expecting and more. From the warm welcome on arrival and all throughout our stay we received such a high level of hospitality. The quality of food, be it in the buffet or the Greek, Italian or French resturants we ate at was excellent. Being beach lovers, the attention from all the staff there was great, nothing too much trouble and everything done with a smile. Entertainment in the evening had a good variety and the bar staff work tirelessly to ensure drinks flowed!

Rooms were kept spotlessly clean, nothing was too much trouble. Room service was always prompt and again, everyone so friendly always doing whatever it took to make us all happy.

A truly wonderful week and a resort we hope to visit again - soon.

Upon arrival we were offered an upgrade to a superior garden bungalow, which was stunning. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful. As soon as you sat down someone came and asked if they could get you a drink. The resort didn't seem overcrowded and we were always able to find a sun bed, pools were heated which was great as it was the beginning of the season. The restaurants were very good with an excellent choice of wines. The hotel was spotlessly clean and rooms cleaned daily. The only downside was not much outside the hotel, we like walking but there wasn't much to see, but there isn't any need to leave. We would definitely return.

It's so good, I have already booked again October.. How's that? Twice in a year.

Wonderful hotel. Amazing staff. Lovely rooms. Great food including adult only area. Loads of pool choices. Great evening entertainment. Proper all inclusive Including pedals, bike hire, beach towels. Made to feel so special and like nothing is too much trouble, the staff just want you to have the best time and wait on you hand and foot. If you just want to relax for a week then this is the holiday for you. We will definitely return.
