“A Piece if Heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

My husband and I stayed at Ikies in June of 2012. This was our last leg of our two week Santorini vacation. Ikies was absolutely fantastic. The staff was wonderful and courteous. They speak english and were always ready to assist when needed. When we arrived at Ikies it was not busy so we were lucky enough to get a tour of the many different rooms. Each room had it's own unique style and all were extremely clean. We stayed in Boatsman room. It had the most fantastic view of Oia and the caldera. Our first day at Ikies we ordered room service for lunch to be served on our patio. We had a fantastic fresh pizza and sandwich. They were both fresh and delicious. On our last evening in Oia we wanted to watch the sunset from room and decided to order room service again. The staff was so wonderful they even surprised us with a desert as a good-bye. Since we had a very early departure, we asked the staff if there was a possibility we could have something for breakfast in our room. We had to leave by 5:00 AM. The Ikies staff informed us that the kitchen would be closed but would deliver breakfast the evening before so we would have something for the morning. They delivered, fresh bread, cereal, fruit, meats, cheeses, milk and juice. We had so much that we made sandwiches to take on the plain. I can't say enough about our stay at Ikies except when we return to Oia we will stay at Ikies. Thank you to the staff for making our stay a dream come true.

“Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

This is a place I will never forget! Santorini is amazing and this hotel too. The view is one of the most beautiful views I've ever seem. The hotel staff was really nice, everybody was helpful. Breakfast was great, try the Greek yogurt!!! We had the smaller room they got, but it was very comfortable and beautiful. I hope one day I can be back to this lovely place!

“Experience Santorini the way it's meant to be...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

This is how Santorini is meant to be experienced.....traditional cave-like houses, built along the cliff overlooking the sea, whitewashed with blue windows and doors typifying Greece. Picture postcard perfect. Arguably one of the best sunsets on the island. We were at the Captians which was wonderful, though never ended up using the outdoor jacuzzi. Ikeas is a must for couples who desire a Santorini experience to cherish for a lifetime. Though we were there a couple of years back, it's still a vivid and haunting memory. Will surely go back there someday.

“the home of romance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

The photos speak for themselves, this is a paradise. From our own outdoor spa bath overlooking the stunning village we enjoyed divine sunsets. And when hungry the chef himself would deliver his lovingly made creations to our private dining table with the very same view. The rest of the time you can just be naked in total privacy. I couldn't fault this place if I tried. DIVINE.

“Absolutely fantastic, we will go back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We stayed in the Cook’s House for 4 nights this past September and absolutely loved it! The layout and size of the room was perfect for us as one could relax downstairs or on the patio while the other one dozed off on the cozy loft. The view through the loft window to the sea below is amazing. We would lie in bed and look at the seagulls fly by as well as the sunset cruise boats go back and forth below us. The service was just perfect and we could not have asked for anything more on our honeymoon! Loella, Maria and Katerina took care of us and would greet us at the reception level providing us with information on restaurants and beaches when needed. All the staff were extremely polite and were not intrusive on our privacy in any way. It was a dream come true honeymoon and we are so happy we chose the right hotel and destination!
