Overlooking the crystal blue Aegean, the luxurious Ikos Oceania is located 30
minutes from Thessaloniki International Airport.The highlight of this stunning setting is the 350m long natural sandy beach, fringed by pines, olive groves and cypress trees. Dispersed amongst the 15 acres of well-groomed gardens, the spacious, elegant guest rooms and suites offer panoramic sea views with Mount Olympus in the background.
As of 2015, Oceania will feature four a la carte restaurants along with the Flavors international buffet restaurant. Guest will find six superb bars indoors or in the lavish gardens. The Infinite Lifestyle Dine-Out program offers guests the opportunity to enjoy the authentic menus offered by local
restaurants in the nearby picturesque town of Nea Moudania.
We stayed at the Ikos Oceania for a week towards the end of October with our teenage son. It was the last week of the season the hotel was open before closing for winter. What an amazing place, we couldn't have asked for more! We had a ground floor room overlooking the sea and the hotel and grounds were beautiful and exceptionally clean. The staff were attentive (Despina in the restaurant and Demi in the pool bar were particularly welcoming and friendly) and we were never waiting long for food or drink to be brought over to us. We ate in each of the restaurants and at the buffet and the food was perfect in all of them. My son and I are fussy vegetarians but there was plenty of variety so we never got bored. We hired bikes (one normal and one electric) and rode into town and further up the coast in the opposite direction along the coastal path. The bikes were good quality and the guys at the hire desk were helpful and informative. My husband and son played football, tennis and table tennis and I did a couple of yoga classes which were great. We enjoyed a meal out of the resort at the Erodios restaurant. Again, the service was great and the food was excellent. The acts on in the evening at the hotel were high quality and were different every night. We highly recommend this hotel <3…
We stayed in October on a 2 weeks vacation in Ikos Oceania. It was just WOW! Special thanks to Dimitris from the Deluxe Concierge, for making us feeling at home, for arranging just about everything, even a special lobster dinner for my husbands' birthday and the wines that we liked even though those were not on the already extended wine list. Dimitris, you rock! Also appreciated was the booking directly done via Myrto, our personal holiday adviser. We'd advise to book "deluxe collection". You get a separate area with large sunbeds on the beach, a separate pool area, a daily minibar refill, a large wine collection and the opportunity to eat daily in the a la carte restaurants. The food was great. The waiters in all the restaurants and bars went above and beyond themselves, friendly all the time. The ocean room suite was perfect: very comfortable beds, a large number of amenities. Perhaps the only downside was the large number of kids running around during the evening entertainment and not having a separate adults only deluxe zone. But overall a hotel we plan to return to. We'll be back soon! With love Peter & Isabel…
After visiting aria last year I’m now hooked to the ikos chain! Oceania was fantastic, we ate breakfast at Provence every morning. Room service was great and all the staff were friendly and professional. The food in the restaurants was delicious and my friend that is gluten intolerant was well looked after. The beach service was excellent as was the white party. The only negative was people reserving sun loungers round the adult pool and not being turning up for a few hours. We ended up at the main pool as we didn’t want to be around people who thought that was an acceptable way to behave. It kinda ruins the mood.
We visited Ikos Oceania to celebrate our mother’s 60th birthday with high expectations - and I have to say that Ikos surpassed them all. From the magnificent ambience of the entrance hall which met our arrival, to the absolutely impressive welcome we received from the hospitality desk staff we knew we were in for a tremendous time. And I have to say that after that, Ikos not only maintained this exceptional level throughout our stay but it exceeded it. We had a very well-maintained upper floor junior room with the most gorgeous sea views allowing each day to be kissed by a beautiful sunrise and a gorgeous sunset. The state of the resort was pristine, everywhere you went, without fail. The spa was wonderful! The food on offer at the restaurants were superb (we loved the daily breakfast at Flavours; Anaya’s ambience was out of this world; and the Beach Club was splendid!) Mini-bars refreshed daily to your desire. The quality of wine and cocktails were sublime. I’ve never had so much high-quality food and drink on offer so freely in my life! The Infinity Lifestyle is something which must be experienced to be believed - out of this world! There are a few steep inclines but the buggy service was a big help! And the whatsapp concierge service is not a gimmick, but a slick & effective source of support. The jewel in the crown of Ikos Oceania has to be the hospitality. I have to repeat the sentiment which many have spoken on already in many of these reviews - there is nothing which is of too much bother to any member of staff. The incredible level of courteousness (with staff ever-ready to support you, never too instructive and always so willing to go the extra mile) really makes such a difference and I have never experienced such a consistent level of high quality customer service anywhere in my life. A big thank you to every single staff member we came across during our stay. A special mention has to go to the delightful lady who helped us to check in on the night of Tuesday 25th October 22 & the very pleasant gentleman who helped us with our suitcases on arrival and departure (so sorry we didn’t note down your names!), our lovely ladies at The Beach Club (Eri, Emma and the AMAZING Nelly who became our honorary family member as we became regulars at this wonderful spot), the lovely staff at Flavours who accommodated our large group every morning, and the grandmaster himself Vaza (our favourite SuperStar!! he brought beaming light into our trip whenever we came in contact with him!) Another special mention has to go to Georgia, Stefania and Artemis at the Service Excellence Department who were so accommodating in helping me sort out special touches to help make mum’s birthday extra-special and make our stay as a large group run as smoothly as possible. We had such a tremendous time, and we will definitely be back!…
We came on a recommendation and it was the best decision. The hotel is the most incredible resort we have ever visited and we have booked to come back in May 2023 for our first anniversary. The pools are stunning and the staff are to attentive, white sandy beach and amazing friendly staff poolside and in the restaurants. The food was OUTSTANDING in every single restaurant. We will be coming for many years to come as our extended family expands :)
The bed was very comfortable, the shower great, food was excellent and the staff were amazing. They are so kind, helpful and are always urging you to relax and enjoy yourself. Everywhere is very clean, the facilities were wide and varied. To have a car for the day as part of the package is an excellent idea and one we really enjoyed. Would highly recommend it.
Absolutely perfect stay at ikos Oceania. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and there is so much to see and do. Hope to return after an amazing week in October!
My fourth trip to Ikos in the last 13 months, having visited Aria and Dassia previously. My group absolutely loved Oceania. All of the staff are simply amazing. A special shout out has to go to Alex on the deluxe beach, so very helpful, Despina (the happiest person on earth), Nelly and all the girls working in the beach club, nothing was ever too much, all of the fantastic staff who looked after us at Ouzo every morning especially Panos and also to Artemis & Vangelis for making our trip so memorable. We cannot wait to return. Thanks to you all and we hope you have a well deserved rest! Until next year ...
Amazing people, place, and service. BUT ... warning ... once you come here you will forever be comparing other places and their level of quality and service because it's ASTOUNDING. Food was wonderful and the location is stunning. The team made our stay wonderful, especially: Sandra, Marina, Vaza, Demi, Manos ... the list goes on and on (too many to mention). Thank you, Ikos ... you now have a family who are friends for life.
We have just come back (my husband and I) from a 10 day trip in this beautiful resort and honestly 5 stars is not enough. Where to begin?... Yes as everyone has said the staff are simply incredible.. I mean AMAZING, They truly cannot do enough for you! Every 10 minutes or less they are asking if you would like anything, another drink, a snack, your sunglasses cleaned, a fresh towel etc., they all just want you to have the very best holiday and they are all incredible! ROOM: We stayed in the deluxe suite collection our original room was 5207 and was beautiful. The next day our concierge Dimitris Konstantaras asked if there was anything he could do to make our trip even better? (I mean what a question!) And I simply said that if there had been a higher room (so an even better view of the beautiful ocean) that would have been outstanding but we were very happy... within a few short hours they had moved all of our luggage and belongings to room 5302 and WOW... I mean WOW, the view was just spectacular! The new room was also even bigger than our last, just as beautiful, spotlessly clean with a huge bathroom, 2 sinks, a large bath and a huge walk in shower, there are lots of toiletries and extras in the room (conditioner, shampoo, body lotion, bath and shower gel, shower cap, make up pads, cotton buds, a sewing kit etc.) This room even had a separate walk in wardrobe with 3 large wardrobes- plenty of space for all clothes and luggage, plus drawers, a fridge with a well stocked mini bar (replenished daily- and you can request anything you would like in there!) a Nespresso coffee machine and 2 perfect drawers that contained all glassware and crockery in a very neat set up! I loved it. There was an iron and ironing board and sockets (1 of which was a Uk style 3 pin too) There is a large sitting area, with Tv and Queen sized comfortable bed, Air con, a beautiful balcony and again that view was just stunning! POOLS: There are plenty of pools at the resort, the main main a large infinity style pool, a kids pool, a baby pool, a smaller infinity style pool, an adults only infinity pool and the deluxe pools (1 deluxe baby) as well as an inside spa pool that anyone can access at any time regardless of if you are using the spa. All Of the pools were clean, tidy and warm! (28 degrees in October can't be bad) we spent most of our time around the Deluxe pool and as stated earlier were waited on constantly and always with a huge smile from Eva and Christina- such wonderful ladies, Eva would bring a Gin trolley around every afternoon around 2pm and make the most beautiful G & T's or cocktails.. which were all top end Gins (Hendricks, Tanqueray, Plymouth, Gordons, Bombay etc... wow) BEACH: Again stunning, very clean, and tidy no litter. Mostly sand with some small pebbles/shingle as you enter the sea and the sea was the most beautiful shades of green and blue! Very Pretty. On The beach also wonderful staff that would want you to "Want for nothing" and ask you if you would like any refreshments etc., Despina and Alex were just so attentive and a bundle of energy, just a joy to be around. There is an adult only section on the beach and if you are staying in Deluxe then you get to use the wonderful Bali style beds, which are not only very comfy, but you have complete control over the shade as the sun moves across the ocean for the day. The sea was clean and warm and fairly shallow, We used the Kayaks (a double and 2 singles) there are also paddle boards and peddalos that you can use for 30 minutes each per day for free. We also rented a motorboat for a couple of hours to explore the coastline which was the most wonderful experience. FOOD: Now this is going to be lengthy! The food is outstanding. Flavors is the main buffet restaurant, Large pretty airy room on the 4th floor that overlooked the pools and sea, it was available for breakfast. lunch and dinner, always different menus and foods available each one perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. This never needed to be booked unlike all of the other al la carte restaurants (only bookings required for evening meals) so you could pop in at any time really and be extremely satisfied. Ouzo is the Greek restaurant, gorgeous location overlooking the sea and again available for breakfast. lunch (including a daily BBQ - not to be missed between 12-3) and a la carte dinner. We ate here many times, and was always fantastic. Provence is the French restaurant located by the adults only pool, lovely view and again available for Breakfast, lunch and a la carte dinners ( We ate here many times too!) Anaya - was my husbands favorite - an Asian restaurant - located above Provence and was stunning! Only available for booked evening a la carte meals but we ate here twice as it was wonderful. Fresco - The Italian restaurant again only available for evenings was located above the waterfalls on level 4 and had the best setting in the whole of the resort in my opinion and was my absolute favorite of all the restaurants - just sublime! Nester the manager not only arranged a wine tasting for us whilst we were there but would recommend wines to go with each dish and was perfect! thank you. The beach Club (The newest restaurant - it replaced the beach bar that was there last season) was also brilliant, and available for lunches (from 1pm and evening meals) We ate here only once as it was very popular, and i can see why, direct off of the beach, great food, great location, great staff. We also had our wedding anniversary dinner on the beach one evening which was magical, and Ekerterina (Deluxe concierge) arranged a surprise anniversary cake to be delivered and champagne in our room, it was a wonderful surprise and a lovely touch. STAFF: A massive thank you to: Dimitris, Vangelis, Ekaterina, Eva, Nester, Alex, Anna, Christina, and everyone behind the scenes, who kept the hotel, grounds, food and service just 100% FAULTS; SIMPLY NONE!!! I kid you not, everything was just spot on, the service the food, the hotel, the cleanliness just absolutely all of it. If I had to niggle and I mean really try to find something - at a push i would say it is quite hilly, so there are lots of steps, or steep paths around the resort-that being said they didn't hinder us in any way at all, nor did it take 2 minutes on the WhatsApp group to request a golf buggy to pick you up and zip you anywhere around the resort that you wanted to. And the would more than happily do this all day. We have had some really good holidays and in totally honesty this was the best one we have ever been on! If you are thinking about booking this hotel.. STOP... Don't think any more... JUST BOOK IT! you can thank me later :-)…
