A wonderful place to visit with toddlers and properly relax. Genuinely unlimited and extensive selection of very high quality food and drinks. The crèche is better than any I've been to in the UK and run by the 'cream of the crop' UK Nursery Nurses. Babysitting is carried out by the same Nursery Nurses, making a few nights out a real option to go for a meal and completely relax. The pools are pristine and there are 5 or 6 options, all of different depths. Daily room cleaning is impeccable. Every member of staff is well trained and incredibly friendly. The only watch out is that the resort is on a hill, so we were pleased we had taken the double pram to wheel the children from the pools at the top down to the beach. If we can afford it, we will be back next year or might try Olivia.

+ Big plus is staff attitude, and they were satisfied with their jobs i.e. their smiles were not false.

+ Food v.good (apart from off-site restaurant in Nea Moudania which was poor...food average, service good, environment poor)

+ Wine and drinks very good (availability of Southern Comfort would have been nice).

+ Being served around the pool and on the beach is a clear differentiator (thankyou) - keep it up!

+ Quality wine with dinner (inclusive) is also a clear differentiator (thankyou).

- Bicycle Service: (1) poorly maintained - could cause injury. (2) make it clear that a service is available to take the bikes back up the hill as pushing them is more strenuous than the trip itself,

- A sunglasses cleaning service is possibly OTT (over the top / unnecessary)

Evening entertainment

+ on the main balcony was great

- in the show hall (cabaret) was poor

Olivia is lovely too (we visited). Better for village look / those with less mobility, but we would continue to choose Oceania, because it feels more compact and scenic being on a hill. (it's as well kept as Olivia)

We had the most amazing holiday, everything was perfect. This is without doubt the best all inclusive resort we have ever stayed in. Thank you to all the staff who seemed to go out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful holiday from start to finish nothing was too much trouble.

A week of paradise. Just what we needed in the run up to the arrival of our first baby. Excellent food and impeccable service from the outset. Will definitely be back.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff, the food drink and facilities were excellent.

This was our 2nd visit to the Ikos Oceania, never before have we ever returned to a hotel no matter how much we enjoyed but we were so amazed at the standard of the Ikos we had to book again, this time we went with our friends as we had recommended it so highly to them. We just hoped that it was going to be just as amazing, and indeed it was if not even better. The whole place is spotless. The staff can not do enough for you,they all have such pride in their hotel and want to make sure that every second of your holiday is perfect.

The resturants are 1st class we never had a problem booking which ever one we wanted to eat in. I have to say I could not choose a favourite one as all so different and all so delicious.

As for our suite, Wow!! Presidential We stayed in the Deluxe 2 bedroom suite in the main block. Beautifully decorated each bedroom with its own ensuite, a huge lounge area, dinning area ( we ordered room service one night just so that we could experience eating at the lovely dinning table) a fully stocked bar, tea and coffee .The balcony ran the whole length of the suite complete with table and chairs and sun loungers. The views where stunning totally uninterrupted.

We spent most of the days at the beach we didn't even have to leave our loungers to get a drinks or a snack as there was beach staff that constantly walked up and down to take you order and always with a smile.

I would like to thank all the staff especially the hotel manager Savvas who would make a point of chatting to us every day making sure every thing was right and that we were happy, also a huge thank you to the lovely Maria the front office manager you helped make our holiday the most perfect stay, so much so we will be returning this September.

We had a brilliant time, from the moment we landed in Greece, every things went like clockwork, we had a lovely driver that was waiting for us at the airport, the hotel was lovely, we got upgrade to a bungalow, all the staffs was very friendly and very helpful, there was plenty restaurant to choose from for meals, foods was very good,our bungalow was very impressive, very clean and lot of space,the weather was lovely, we had a week of sun,will definitely go back again as we had such a good time there,can definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking of going,you won't be disappointed.

We had an amazing holiday at Oceania, the hotel is really beautiful (just like the photo's). The staff in the reception, bars, restaurants, and poolside were fantastic, nothing was ever to much trouble. The food/ beverages were exceptional, Indoor pool and Spa facilities were great. This is truly a 5 star hotel catering to you ever need.

Thanks to all at Oceania for making our holiday so special.

An amazing hotel in a beautiful setting, carefully landscaped gardens make full use of the ancient olive trees. The wonderful staff are friendly and helpful and the restaurants offer a huge choice of delicious food. The rooms are beautifully decorated in all my favourite colours. We have already been twice and intend to return again.

This really was a superb holiday. The staff were very polite and friendly and our room was fabulous with beautiful views. All the restaurants were excellent but our favourite was the French restaurant.

I never normally leave reviews but would happily recommend this hotel to anyone.

5 Stars

Overall experience was brilliant, however for us what will stop us returning is the entertainment. We had a 4 & 2 year old and only experienced the evening entertainment once as it started at 9.30 which is far too late for children under 4. So for us we didn't feel like we got the full use of the hotels facilities. The beach was disappointing also (Deluxe private) as the sea was pebbly therefore not ideal for children. We would have also liked the option to buy decent wine when dining in the buffet restaurant as we didn't like the other wine offered. However we did love all the other restaurants, villa and pool area. The hotel, rooms and surrounding areas were immaculate! Handy shop on site but need to sell all nappy sizes.

This is our third time at Ikos Olivia and we have already booked for October 2016. We have stayed in a variety of rooms from the main building to the bungalows and they are all very good, this time we had a first floor garden bungalow that also had a view of the sea, it was very spacious, well-furnished and spotlessly clean, the maids come in daily replenishing anything that needed replacing from the toiletries to the mini bar which is part of the all-inclusive package along with room service, the maids do a great job.

The grounds are kept beautifully and all the plants and lawns are well established there is a lovely herb garden to walk around along with seating, there is a well-stocked shop that is reasonably priced this is next door to the children’s club and the doctors of which my husband had to visit, the doctor is on site all day and speaks very good English, the reception staff took the prescription to the chemist and had the medication collected at no extra charge.

Flavours the main buffet restaurant is excellent they use fresh ingredients and many dishes are cooked right in front of you. The chef was also seen in the self service area checking on the food. The a la carte restaurants (French, Italian, Greek and Asian) are an absolute delight, the Greek (Ouzo) is on the beach front with wonderful views, George and his team really look after you as do all the other staff in all the restaurants. There is also an outside traditional Greek restaurant which is also included in the package but as yet we have not been there, it is within walking distance to the hotel and we intend to go there in October.

A new bar has been added since last year called Helios this is located next to Flavours which is also close to the beach again there is great views that overlook the sea. The other bar is located in the main building this also serves the swimming pool during the day the team are constantly walking around bringing you drinks, George and his team work very hard keeping you supplied with excellent cocktails and other branded drinks the bar is opened until 2am every day.

The management team are seen daily walking around and making sure everything is running smoothly and if you happen to have a problem you only need to speak to them and it is sorted they are all very approachable and friendly.

All the staff from maintenance to the management team work extremely hard to ensure that you have the best holiday ever thank you everybody.

Our week long holiday at the Oceania was more or less a last minute treat. With it being all inclusive we thought all would be fine - and we were right ! Everything was first class - the suite was lovely, the food was plentiful and loads to choose from and the drinks service at the pool was the best we have ever encountered - we even refused drinks some of the time (unheard of) !!!. The a la carte restaurants were very good too although these are very popular and you must book as soon as you arrive to avoid disappointment - we managed to go to them all and my favourite was the Italian.The staff everywhere were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Always, there were loungers available (of course we were off season) but there are enough pools/loungers that I think you would not have much of a problem anyway. The hotel is beautiful and very nicely decorated. Only downside - it's maybe a bit hilly in parts but this did not take away from our holiday. The entertainment could have been a bit better. There were only two theatre shows when we were there but maybe this was because we were out of season - but there was always entertainment in the large lounge every night, but normally only until 10:30pm. Overall, we had a wonderful relaxing time which was the general idea and we were looked after superbly by your staff. Oh, one more thing - the views from the hotel are stunning! We would like to return as we were very impressed - hopefully next year. Happy holidays everyone.

This hotel is a professional operation from the time you arrive to the day you leave , I am very particular about the things in life which sometimes its a gamble, please be assured that this product is the real deal.

Have a great holiday in the future.

Fine hotel, wonderful and helpful staff. Excellent food. Downside was the number of children. We had a room with and amazing view but it had a communicating door to another room occupied by a young couple with a child. We could hear every sound that occurred in that room. The al la carte restaurants were excellent but again spoilt by the presence of children. I am aware that this is a family resort but even though we travelled outside the school holidays, did not expect the number of children.
