We had an amazing stay! All the restaurants were great, special mention to Azul for the delicious food and ambiance, anaya for the great sake, and elia's stunning view. Make sure to book in advance. A huge thank you to Eleni and the creche club team for taking such wonderful care of our baby, you were all so kind and caring. And thanks as well to the management and front desk team for always finding solutions and making sure we had the best possible stay. Everywhere you go the service is amazing, all employees are very nice and helpful.

Spending just a day at Ikos Odisia was enough to understand why the resort has such a strong reputation. The surroundings are stunning, but it was the people who truly defined the experience. Yanis stood out immediately. From the first interaction, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed. His professionalism was matched by a genuine warmth, and the way he shared his knowledge—particularly around drinks—made every recommendation feel tailored. He struck exactly the right balance: attentive when needed, yet never overwhelming. Thanks to him, the day felt far more special than we could have expected. Lia also left a lasting impression. She brought energy and positivity to every moment and made sure we were looked after throughout. Her approachable nature and natural attentiveness created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and she carried out everything with such ease that it set the tone for the whole visit. Although our time at Ikos Odisia was short, both Yanis and Lia turned it into something memorable. Their warmth and dedication made the day exceptional, and they are a real credit to the resort.

Had an amazing time at this stunning resort. Beautiful sea views, loads of pools and separate children’s pool. Fine wine, loads of a la carte dining choices with a reservation each night. Fantastic theatre entertainment. Sunset evening boat trip & complimentary water sports. It’s our 9th time visiting an Ikos resort and first time at Odisia. Our experience heightened by Alexis, Vasila, Zoe & Maria. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed it and have booked for next year already! Thanks Ikos

BE AWARE - SOME ROOM CATEGORIES ARE UNSUITABLE FOR FAMILIES WITH NON-WALKERS BE AWARE - THE SHUTTLE SERVICE IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION - ITS NOW ON-DEMAND We had a lovely week-long stay at Ikos Odisia, but there were a few issues. Firstly, some room categories are not suitable for families with small children, especially non-walkers. We booked a ‘Superior Double Room’ with a balcony for two adults and a one-year-old pre-walker. We knew it would be on the 1st floor, but the booking site didn’t mention that there are no lifts in any of the accommodation blocks. So, we had to carry our baby and pushchair up two flights of stairs each time. The cheapest room on the ground floor is a ‘Superior Double Room with Private Garden’. Secondly, the resort has a large fleet of golf carts called ‘Club Cars’ that run around the grounds. There are benches and ‘Shuttle’ signs, so we assumed that waiting by one of these signs would be the right way to get a lift. However, after two cars went past without stopping, we messaged the e-concierge. They told us that the shuttle stops were no longer in use and that we should message them with our location, and a cart would be sent for us. This was a better service, but it was not advertised anywhere. My suggestion is to add little ‘location info’ signs to each of the existing shuttle stops, along with the QR code for the e-concierge. This would inform guests of the new process and make it easier for them to know where they want to be picked up from. The resort was immaculately maintained, with everything clean and tidy, and no major signs of wear and tear despite our late season stay. We easily navigated the resort, even with our buggy, except for our original room. Two specialty restaurants were on the first floor above reception with lifts, while the other two were at the top of a long uphill path to the cliffs, which we accessed with a club car. Everywhere else had ramps and step-free access. The room was spacious enough for two adults and a baby, even the original Superior Double, and certainly the upgraded Superior Double with Private Garden. The buffet restaurants were well managed, with regularly replaced and clean dishes. One or two of the cleaning staff seemed to forget that guests needed to actually access the buffet on occasion, and were swooping in to clean without letting us actually get to the food... but most of the time, it was excellent. The a-la-carte restaurants served good food, with only a few slip-ups corrected promptly. The resort offered high-quality child and baby equipment, including clean and well-presented Stokke high chairs and a sturdy cot in our room. They also offered hire of pushchairs and bikes, including toddler bikes, for a nominal fee. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially to our little one, who seemed to be a big favourite.

Good resort, I can see why it gets so many 5* reviews. They have many guests who return to the resort(s) year on year, which is great - but also a possibility of why the communication is so poor at times. If you are not familiar with the IKOS brand certain aspects of the stay could be frustrating. For instance, there is no lift access to any first floor (balcony) rooms - even though these rooms are advertised as perfect for 2 adults and a child, they are unsuitable for babies. This is, in my opinion, no where near clear enough on their literature. There are club cars available to shuttle guests around, and shuttle stops throughout the resort for the club cars - however these aren’t in use, you have to ask concierge to arrange or ask at the restaurant your dining in. I’m unsure why these stops are not removed or repurposed to stop confusion. Other frustrations for us included inconsistency in service. For instance ordering drinks poolside and then waiting a long time for the drink (whilst guests either side of us were served) - we went to the bar. Not a big deal, but frustrating. We used room service on a couple of occasions and food arrived uncovered and without cutlery. Again service at restaurants was incredibly inconsistent for us - we have a child with allergies so asked for some soy yoghurt to be provided for breakfast and some margarine from the kitchen (it’s in large open container on the buffet - so a cross contamination risk). We followed the hotels procedure and ordered 24hours in advance for the yoghurt, but it was not available the next day. Similarly the first time I asked for margarine from the kitchen, it was brought from the buffet. A couple of evening meals were also disrupted due to inattentive staff. Saying this, we did think the food and beverages were very high quality and overall excellent. The hotels’ offerings for guests are also exceptional, use of a Tesla to explore the island for a day and a sunset cruise are included in the room rate. We really enjoyed the hire car for the day, and there was an appropriately sized car seat for our child, which was unfortunately dirty from the previous child - but quickly rectified. There is also a shuttle bus to Corfu town and the option to dine out at a local restaurant, also included in the room rates - which we didn’t make use of. Rooms are well appointed and kept immaculate by hard working staff. Once we were allocated a ground floor room we were more than happy with it. However it’s useful to know if you use the cotton wool or shower cap it wont be replenished, unless you ask. Mini bar was ok, however we got into the habit for asking for wine from the restaurant to take back to our room to enjoy of an evening. The resort also has a spa which I took advantage of. The treatments are good, a little overpriced, but that’s what you get from this type of resort. The disappointment was that post treatment there is no where to relax, you’re simply returned to the waiting room then left to make your own way out. Other high end resort spas I have visited have post treatment relaxation lounges - think dark, lavish rooms with beds to relax on and speciality teas and waters to enjoy. Here you are welcome to relax in the pre-treatment waiting room - not quite the same. We did enjoy the resort and loved the beach areas. Each restaurant is beautiful and has fabulous views. Our child loved the play areas and splash park. The hotel is incredibly child friendly and has high end equipment (stokke cribs & high chairs) for the children to use. After having some issues at the start of the holiday management did go out of their way to improve the rest of our break, which they did. We probably would return to an IKOS resort at some point in the future, but our expectations would be adjusted.

Myself and my friend travelled here in September and stayed for a week. We wanted a cheap all inclusive holiday where we could just chill and relax. I had read mixed reviews about the hotel. It is only a 3 star and we paid just over 360 each for a week all inclusive and you get what you pay for. The staff were friendly, the hotel its self could probably do with a bit of updating but it was clean throughout. The food was a buffet style restaurant for breakfast, lunch and tea. There wasn't loads of choice usually a meat dish, a chicken dish, a fish dish, a pasta dish and a vegetarian option with a selection of potatos and vegetables. We liked the food and could always find something we enjoyed. There was also a pool side snack bar which served crepes, pasta salad, burgers, etc. The hotel is up hill and there's quite a lot of steps in the hotel...the lift is quite small so id say it isn't the best place for those woth mobility problems. The hotel does run a shuttle bus up and down the hill but we chose to walk. There's evening entertainment every other night but there isn't a lot of seats and lying/sitting on a sunlounger while trying to watch the entertainment takes away from the vibe. The bar staff do not skimp on the alcohol..infavt at times the vodkas were too strong. All in all we had a lovely relaxing holiday..this hotel is 3 star and if people are expecting more they would be disappointed. I would definitely go back if I wanted a cheap relaxing holiday. The only thing that really bugged me was there no tea/coffee making stuff in the room..I like a brew as soon as I open my eyes.

We stayed here for one week and overall had a lovely time. We checked in quite late, but were warmly greeted by a very nice British man at reception who handed us a packed lunch, which was a thoughtful touch after a long journey. The room itself was a little disappointing – quite outdated, and the bed was very firm and uncomfortable. A mattress topper would make a big difference. The shower was also a bit of a hassle, as the curtain didn’t do much to stop water from splashing all over the floor. Thankfully there’s a drain in the bathroom, so it dries eventually, but it’s still inconvenient. On the positive side, the staff were absolutely lovely throughout our stay. We had a very late flight back and appreciated the option to either extend our checkout for a small extra fee or leave our luggage in the lobby and still use the facilities, including lunch and all-inclusive drinks/snacks, until we left. That flexibility really made things easier. The food was decent overall. Breakfast wasn’t the strongest, but lunch and dinner were much better with different options each night. The snack bar was a highlight – the crepes with Nutella and the burgers were very popular. One small issue is that around 12–1pm the person running the snack bar leaves (we assume because lunch starts), but there’s no sign to let you know. It would be helpful to have a notice about the closure, as otherwise you’re left waiting. The location is okay, but not the best if you’re after beautiful beaches, as the nicer ones are further away. Renting a car or moped is highly recommended, and the bus is also a cheap and convenient option (with a timetable provided in the lobby). If you do explore, we definitely recommend visiting Nisaki Beach – a little pebbly cove that feels quite hidden away. It’s absolutely beautiful, great for snorkelling and swimming, and well worth the trip. A lovely surprise was the cats around the hotel – they’re friendly, well looked after, and not too clingy. We especially enjoyed nightly visits from one sweet cat who we named Charlie, who would sometimes come up to our balcony. 😁 Overall, while the rooms could definitely use some updates, the staff, food, and welcoming atmosphere made our stay very enjoyable.

Wonderful! We had a great time with my family there. The food was delicious and with different choices every day. The staff was always willing to help us with anything we needed. It is a hotel with 3 stars but I think it deserves much more based on the quality of the food and in general. Also you need a car to go to the city as it is about 20 minutes but that is not a problem because there is a bus stop right outside. Many congratulations to the people who work there!!

Where to begin. Stayed in room 309. Room was clean but the shower floods the whole room Asked for extra towels, non forthcoming so just flooded every day First impression we were a late check in due to flight. English man, dirty clothes sweating profusely. Lost the reg forms and quite frankly not professional. The packed lunch of sandwich, apple and water sparse and unappetising Food ok edible and hot so no complaints All inclusive drinks 5 choices of cocktails consisting of tequila, vodka, brandy, whisky Also beer option On one night they ran out of everything but brandy, rather than go to the shop we were offered brandy or beer. We started off with large plastic cups on day one and these were then replaced by coffee cups! Pool quite cloudy i think due to the amount of suncream and people. Not enough sunloungers and the open bins really smell The free shuttle from the hotel is a filthy old van derived car driven by an equally unkept non friendly human. Reception lady (blonde hair long) was great, manager did not show her face unless it was to fill it at the buffet, no interest in dealing with complaints or concerns. Maintenance, other staff look very much like they are on holiday themselves not very professional All in all the surrounding wild rose pool and bar and the malibu beach club saved our holiday I found the Greek men to be rude and patronising and they were not friendly at all but im guessing thats the race 🤷‍♀️ just how they are Housekeeping staff are amazing and work bloody hard I would visit corfu again but not this hotel

Dropped off on the main road at the bottom of a hill, it was a long walk with cases up a steep hill to the hotel. The room was basic with a broken fridge door, the restaurant had cats wandering around and also flies landing on cooked meats with no one watching over the food. Also running out of cutlery and larger glasses after 40 mins of opening. We stayed 10 nights, which only 2 of them had vodka and rum and was told there wasn't any available when it was clearly stated in the reception that all spirits were available on all inclusive, god only knows what mixer they were putting in sex in the beach. They ran out of plastic beakers on the 3rd day and gave you drinks in cardboard vending machine cups. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, the poolbar staff were also friendly except one in particular who was rude frequently with not just me but others around aswell. I was had a very bad stomach bug on the 3rd day, which my wife also had 2 days later. Also to note there was no bottled water available and I'm convinced the they gave you at the bar and in the restaurant was questionable.
