Ikos Andalusia

Another amazing stay at IKOS Andalusia. There were a few teething issues with service that we are putting down to it being opening week, but on the whole, top tier as usual and still a 5 star stay. Darko and his team were superb and really took care of us for our beach meal. I did notice this year they’re trying to accommodate adults only as much as families which we definitely appreciated but you do have to go and understand this is a families first resort and there will be (a lot) of children. If you’re reading this and thinking: is it really worth it? YES is the answer! But IKOS - give us an adults only soon .. please! See you IKOS Oceania in the summer.

This was our 6th holiday to an Ikos resort, and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is beautifully appointed, and spotless. The restaurants are varied and food very good. We particularly liked the promenade in front of the hotel, and used the bikes to cycle into Estepona. However the most important feature for us was the staff. The professional service, and effort they provided to make our stay as enjoyable as possible, was amazing.

This was our second visit to this fantastic facility, the food staff and facilities are excellent and the trips to Estepona are worth taking. The accommodation is first class and the food and drink are of an exceptional standard this coupled with a can do attitude makes for a relaxing holiday. The arrival greeting is fast and efficient and the room service provided leave you wanting for nothing. If you book direct with IKOS they provide the high standard of transportation we have come to expect from this company at no cost. The rooms have all the usual facilities including daily replenished mini bar, Wi-Fi, safe and coffee and tea facilities again replenished daily, the towels and bedding are changed when required and the rooms are serviced daily. There are plenty of sunbeds across the numerous pools, however, we found inconsiderate guests monopolised the beds and the company do not undertake to monitor there policy of removing towels after a certain time. Whilst there are specific pools for families with children some parents do not consider that there noisy children can disrupt other gusts as long as they are not being bothered, another irritating anomaly that could be policed by the company policing and ensuring that guests abide by the rules. This facility is highly recommended for a high class holiday with all the trimmings expected from a 5 star establishment.

The reviews are all true - this resort is amazing!!! From start to finish the staff cannot do enough, so attentive and so many of them! I love how they all greet you wherever they meet you - a nice touch! The accomdation is modern, clean and goes above and beyond anywhere else we've stayed. We were in 2 minds about booking in October due to weather concerns but we needn't have worried, it was a solid 25/26 degrees all week with not a drop of rain. We really appreciated the excursions to Puerto Banus and Estepona as it helped pass a couple of mornings with 2 toddlers in toe constantly demanding the pool. We took the tesla to Ronda and we thoroughly enjoyed, what an authentic spot. Only gripe would be the recommended parking in Ronda is tight so be prepared. The only issue we had for the week was kids on bikes going around unsupervised late into the night and I know this is something others have raised. Obviously there's a question of parental responsibility but we feel a better solution would be that the hotel request bikes to be returned by a certain time. All in all we had a fabulous week and can't wait to visit our next Ikos Resort..we are hooked😁

Our week at Ikos Andalusia was not only truly superb but it exceeded our expectations. Having had an excellent week at Ikos Dassia earlier this year we were sceptical that we'd have the same experience given it was the very last week of the season but we needn't have worried - it turned out to be absolutely brilliant. The dining experience is an important part of the Ikos experience and being familiar with the variety of restaurants from our Dassia trip we had high hopes of some great meals and we weren't disappointed. We had some excellent meals and some equally excellent service at every venue we ate, not only in the A la Carte restaurants but also at Flavours Buffet where the quality and variety was really noteworthy at all times of day. It was lovely to see the chefs preparing the food in front of you and showing such obvious care and attention to their dishes. We had some superb dishes throughout the week paired with some excellent wines - in many cases thanks to recommendations from some very knowledgeable sommeliers. As for our accommodation; the room we ended the week in was quite simply the best room we have ever stayed in at any location, anywhere, ever. It simply could not have been better. We have one person to thank for that and we can't thank him enough - Christos. I hope you know how grateful we were, we felt unbelievably fortunate. In addition to our hero Christos, there were so many individuals who assisted us through the week with great customer service (Mikaela, Yiota, Elen, Pablo to name a few) but there were so many more behind the scenes who we didn't see directly but do brilliant work. The chefs,the kitchen teams and front of house restaurant teams do amazing work considering how long their opening times span and having eaten both early and late in sessions the consistency throughout is incredible. Huge credit to whoever coordinates the training to maintain the standards. Got to give a mention to David as well who took the time to show me some invaluable calisthenic tips when he saw me struggling in the outdoor gym - much appreciated. Not only was the room superb but the grounds and common areas were immaculately maintained - again, so many people doing great work that often goes unseen. The care and attention given to all aspects of the resort were evident throughout which, given it was the final week of the season, was extremely impressive. All in all, an absolutely brilliant week and we have no doubts at all that we shall be returning.

IKOS Andalusia is an exceptional Hotel and the staff are totally committed to making your experience a truly memorable one, as we returned for our 4th visit to this location. On arrival we were recognised and made to feel so special, especially by Dennis, who took control and stayed in regular contact. Our room was available immediately and the Sea View was class and so relaxing. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, which we love and a very special mention for Darko and Marta (Pool Bar), as they immediate recognised us and went out of their way to make us feel like "Family". We love the IKOS culture and this Hotel, with amazing staff, Dennis, Darko, Marta, Josh (The Socks 🧦) exudes this, which is why we will be returning in 2026. Food, Drink, Entertainment, Facilities, and Weather are brilliant and we love the super sunrises and sunsets, which are stunning. IKOS Andalusia is well worth a visit, as Dennis and his Team will truly look after you during your stay, so get on and book it in and have an exceptional holiday.
