Ikos Andalusia

When can we go again? We recently returned from a blissful 10 days at Ikos Andulasia. This is the first time we have been on an all-inclusive holiday and wow, take us back already! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with outstanding service and immediately left the stresses of daily life behind. The resort is beautifully laid out with stunning landscaping and stylish interiors. We were fortunate enough to stay in deluxe (would highly recommend) and had access to some additional benefits, such as separate pool area and the restaurant Seasons. All restaurants were fantastic, our favourites being Seasons, Fresco and Anaya. Service and food were fantastic. Harry in Seasons was both attentive and funny. A big thank you to all the staff by the Deluxe pool who looked after us so well and where nothing was too much trouble. A big shout out to Maria and her outstanding crew, Shannon, Dora, Christina, Andrea & co. Tasos, the hotel manager, you were incredible! You made our stay super special and memorable. We loved your little check in visits when lounging by the pool, such excellent service. It is clear how much you care about your staff and the guests, it couldn’t be managed better; everything ran so smoothly. Katerina on the deluxe desk was an absolute delight, always smiling and super helpful. And so, many congratulations to Tasos and his vast team. We WILL be back, and of course in the meantime will be highly recommending that our friends visit too :)

We had an amazing week in the new 4 bedroom deluxe villa. Our host Dennis was perfect, and made our stay even more perfect, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t sort. The food at all the restaurants offered great variety. The whole resort was immaculate, would highly recommend staying here

A brilliant experience was waiting for us. Lots of restaurants with excellent food (well, almost all). As it was the end of season it wasn't too crowded and there was plenty of places beside the various pools. The alcohol on offer was named brand and was always available. Some issues were soon sorted out.

October saw our third visit to ikos Andalusia, this time with family in tow. A lovely stay had by all with just a few tweaks for improvement suggested. Pros The resort itself is gorgeous, landscaped beautifully. WhatsApp concierge was very responsive & helpful. Great variety of places to eat. Friendliness of staff, always with a smile & a hello. Location is great for venturing outside the resort. Kids shows in the evening were great, thoroughly enjoyed by my toddler. Cons Some of the soft furnishings could do with a bit of TLC. I assume this is due to us visiting end of season and they’ll be refreshed for next years opening. Quality of food has noticeably fallen & menus lack the diversity the used to have. A lot of restaurants seem to have a different variation of the same dish. Lack of entertainment is something I’ve mentioned after each stay - they could do with a bit more going on through the day. Bar service in the main lobby and pool bar wasn’t as efficient as in other areas of the resort. Materials used in and around swimming pools is a danger for little feet - my son ended up with multiple cuts on his feet just from a day at the pool. We were already booked to come back in May and are looking forward to our stay. Addressing of some of the issues mentioned (especially entertainment) will be needed to justify the cost/value benefit for us going forward though.

We had the most amazing holiday with friends and family. Great food and drinks and nothing was too much trouble. A special shout out to the wonderful Sia who looked after our wine every evening for us. She’s absolutely amazing and Ikos are lucky to have her.

Our second visit to an Ikos hotel and once again it exceeded our expectations on the quality of food and drink and on the exceptional quality of the service by all staff - I cannot fault any aspect of our stay from the private transport from the airport to the cleanliness of the room and whole complex and the attentiveness of the serving staff- nothing was too much trouble- there was never a wait to be served. The complex is well laid out with quiet and adult only areas - excellent entertainment at night as well as activities during the day - 10 out of 10 - well done
