Very impressive resort with beautiful views from every room! Check-in was easy, requested late check out, and that was absolutely no problem at no charge. From housekeeping to waiters and waitresses, groundskeepers, maintenance personnel, resort staff, and front desk, the service was exceptional!
We will definitely be back! Thank you, Ikaros, you have been very good to us!❤️

Bad experience

The location and the view is beautiful. The hotel is very old and the staff is unfriendly also the bed is really bad. Overall we had very bad experience and its not worth the price comparing to other options.

Superb property, with all amenities (outdoor swimming pools, tennis, basketball, gym, kids club, spa with indoor pool, bars and restaurants), in a stunning environment just by the see, with access to a sand beach

Spar break in the sun.

We had an excellent week, the resort was very clean and modern with excellent restaurants and bars. The pools and beach were great as was the spar. Rooms very spacious, modern and clean. We found the resort to be in a good location foe venturing out.

Great honeymoon

On our honeymoon, a lovely welcome in the room, a bottle of local sparkling wine a some macarons and flowers and petals on the bed. The room was a little bit tired, the air con leaked a bit and made the fllor wet. The silicone round the sink was missing in some places. Overall we had a wonderful 10 night stay. The bar staff we friendly and welcoming, especially Antoneta and the yojng lady with the long. Blonde hair. Maria on the breakfast team was also lovely and friendly. Went to beach every day, very clean and sea very clear. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

The Ikaros Beach is in my opinion by far the best hotel in the region. The complex is very upmarket and the resort is well planned out. We spent the October half term holiday here and it was everything we hoped for, relaxing, and quiet. If you wanted to venture further afield this isn’t the place for you at this time of year unless you hire a car, as the rest of the surrounding area was closed or closing for the winter. However the resort was so good this wasn’t a problem for us. Would definitely go back.

Wonderful beach resort

The Ikaros Beach Hotel is a fantastic place to stay... beautiful stone architecture throughout comfortable rooms along the coast, incredible food and wonderful staff! Our sons loved the large waves at the beach while we were here in July. Kids club was great too!

Beautiful Hotel, untrained staff..

The hotel is beautiful, peaceful, clean offering excellent dining options.
Great views from pools, restaurants, rooms. It caters for every type of holidays and the little town near by is much more quiet and quaint than Malia ( crazy party town )

All is great there but the staff...I can't count how many issues we had with people that obviously need training. From day one till our last hour it has been very unpleasant. All issues sorted by higher staff management at some point but still this has left us a bitter memory. Lots of stress discussing issues and barely any apologies while trying to sort them out. It was always our fault and making us feel guilty saying they should be home by now or would have to pay themselves if bill not settled?! Not sure what kind of customer service is that. There's a mistake fine let's sort it out but don't pressure the client and put all blame on them when we were more than happy to pay what was due.

Same at the restaurant some very nice and kind people, few were not very warming, feeling a bit embarrassed sometimes.

I hope they improve on this matter as Greece is well known for its hospitality and this was the first time I encountered such a bad reception team for a hotel of this standard. I believe they aim to offer the best we just got unlucky..

Perfect end of season holiday

We have just spent a week in late Oct / early Nov at the Ikaros resort, and had one of our best holidays ever. The resort was spotless, the staff welcoming and friendly, and the food and drink top class.
The facilities cannot be faulted an we would not hesitate to recommend.

We want already to come back.

It's just great resort. The location is great. The facilities are wonderful. We were a couple on vacation and first when I've seeing the kid guests I thought it would be noisy. But The resort is very well planned - it felt like not crowded at all. There were plools for kids and just great SPA for adults. It has 4 or 5 restaurants on the territory of the resort - so you don't need (or actually you don't want) to go anywhere else. There's a direct access to the sea with good sand beach. Everything is clean and well maintained. The SPA is fabulous and almost empty. The hot sauna with a great view on mountains There are plenty facilities for kids - like kindergargden, special pool with water slides and I think more - just was not interested in it. There are perfect tennis courts and the one who's interested can take tennis lessons. We regretted we did not take our rackets with us. The stuff is very helpful and nice. The food is great. You really don't want to leave the resort - you have everything there, even supermarket and a gift shop. The resort itself reminds a small cosy village with a main building, SPA building and even a chirch. All the rest appartments are spread around as village houses.
We already want to come back!. Thank you.

Great resort with very friendly staff. We were made to feel special and they made our stay with 2 very young kids very pleasant. The pool with the water slides is fantastic and the kids club is very good. We only stayed for 4 nights, wish we had booked for longer as there are many things to do in the resort, many restaurants to choose from with different events every night, and we would definitely not get bored there. Many young families but good for couples also as there are adult only areas and the kids are kept well entertained in the kids pool or the mini club not to annoy other people.
We would definitely go back.
Crete is also an amazing magic place that has so many places to explore and you fall in love with it.

I went with my daughter nearly 10 years old, we had a wonderful time. we enjoyed the room which was really clean and nice touch everyday from the housekeeper. The buffet at breakfast was amazing as the situation of the dining room overlooking the swimming pool and the sea.
The staff was always helpful and welcoming.

Lovely resort with beautiful beach.

The resort grounds were lovely and the beach is heaven. Our room was disappointing. The closet was so musty we had to keep our clothes in suitcases. The beds were old and musty smelling. Pillows were lumpy. WiFi was on and off throughout our stay.

We paid for breakfast instead of half board, but the best food we had was at the resort. Recommend half board if not all inclusive.

I travel to Greece every summer, and I was most impressed not only the hotel, but the staff!t They all make you feel so welcome and go above and behind to help you! We have already planned out trip for next summer and will add another week to make it 3 weeks at Ikaros!!! This is a place that you must stay at, you won't have any complaints !!

Die Anlage ist toll- direkt am Meer in einem sehr guten Zustand und mit weitläufigem Sandstrand zum Schwimmen und Joggen wunderbar geeignet.
Die Zimmer (wir hatten vordere Front mit Meerblick) waren gross und gut ausgestattet. Es hatte einen “Höhlenflair”, da alles aus Stein war, aber es hatte genug Tageslicht.
Das Personal auf der gesamten Anlage war sehr hilfsbereit und immer freundlich. Ein besonderer Dank gilt dem Restaurantmanager Alexander und dem jungen fleissigen Kellner Bogdan, die uns jeglichen Wunsch beim Frühstück und Abendessen erfüllt haben- wirklich toller Service!
Ich kann das Resort nur weiterempehlen.

Tolle Anlage mit sehr gepflegtem Garten. Wir hatten eine Unterkunft mit Meerblick. Das würde ich auch empfehlen, da es auch Unterkünfte gibt, deren Terrasse direkt an einen engen Weg mündet. Die Zimmerreinigung war gut.
Das Essen war sehr gut, das Brot hervorragend. Wir haben ‚a la carte‘ nicht in Anspruch genommen, da die Auswahl im Hauptrestaurant ausreichend war.
Die Situation am Pool war entspannt. Liegen waren sehr ausreichend vorhanden (wir waren zum Saisonende da), sehr bequeme Liegen.
Das Gym ist sehr gut ausgestattet für ein Hotel. Öffnungszeiten umfangreicher als angegeben.
Wir haben einen Abend an der Bar verbracht. Dort spielte eine wirklich gute Liveband.

Nous avons passé deux semaines en demi-pension. Une bouteille de vin de bienvenue ainsi que six macarons. Chambre bien équipé avec coffre fort, frigo avec 10 boissons offerte, machine nespresso avec capsules offerte ainsi que du thé. Literie et linge très bien avec quatre options de oreillers. L’hôtel est vraiment très bien, moderne et propre. Juste quelques petits soucis techniques dans notre chambre, mais rien de grave. Restaurant principal Olive est très bien et varié pour ce qui mange de viande. Le poisson et moins goûteux. Sinon restaurant asiatique Sunset très bien et restaurant italien Amos excellent. Les bars sont ok mais ne savent pas faire du vrai mojito helas. 3€ une bouteille d’eau plate ou pétillante, 5€ bière pression, 6€ bière corona, 8€ mojito, spritz 10€, vin blanc 27€. La plage sable fin et la mer est juste magnifique. L’eau est bonne et hyper propre. Serviettes, parasols, transats et sunbeds top. Les piscines sont très bien équipées aussi. Moins convaincu pour le spa. Jacuzzi froid ainsi que la piscine intérieure. Saunas et hammam spacieux et propre. Salle de sport bien équipé mais pas de douche. Le personnel est très agréable et professionnel. Petite market qui vends des produits variés utiles dans le domaine.
Transfert aéroport-hôtel avec Davanos très bien.
Easyjet petits retard et très mal assise.
Nous avons fait une excusions en voilier Sunset exceptionnel avec [email protected] à 75€/personne (transfert, boisson et repas plancha offert inclus.)

Schöne Anlage, freundliches Personal, feines Essen

Sommerferien, tolle Anlage sehr zu empfehlen,
hatten Premium Bungalow mit Meerblick Nr. 531, riesige Terrasse, ein Traum, Personal (unser Lieblingskellner Robin/Rabin) sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, Aqua Gym mit Anna Christina immer erfrischend und lustig, sehr schönes Fitness mit neuen Geräten, sehr feines Essen auch Buffet, wir kommen wieder.

Negativ: Check Inn war freundlich aber zu wenig Infos,
wir haben erst am letzten Tag zufällig erfahren, dass man gratis Fahrräder benützen kann....
- grosses Bungalow, aber keine Kästen zum Sachen versorgen, auch im Bad zu wenig Ablagefläche und nur 1 Lavabo für 2 Personen....Platz wäre genug vorhanden.

Faszit: Tolle Anlage, sehr empfehlenswert....

Bon. 4 étoiles pour moi.

Pas mal. Nourriture bonne. Piscines froides mais paisibles. Terrain de l'hôtel très soigné. Point faible : chambre un peu triste, très basique, plutôt trois-étoiles, Mais propre. Et calme. Autre point faible, les lieux en dehors de l'hôtel. Il n'y a absolument rien, sauf des endroits pour louer des voitures et des Quads. Ils ont vraiment besoin de construire des trottoirs c'est dangereux comme c'est. Cela n'est pas la faute de l'hôtel bien sûr. En tout pour le tout, l'hôtel a beaucoup de bons points. Vacances très agréable.
