Ikos Aria

Comfiest bed, brilliant staff, incredible food and most relaxing week!! We couldn’t recommend it enough if you need serious looking after after a long year.

We enjoyed our time off at this lovely hotel!All the staff was excellent and very friendly. The beach is very long and clean and the view stunning. The food was pretty good and the drinks also. We went to the fitness programs every day, amazing instructors.Thank you Athina! We took also bikes and went to the port where we had a nice time. The Sports team was very kind.Efcharisto Olga and Chris. We don't like swimming in pools but we found the ice cream there very good and Alexandra very helpful. Some nights we spent in the terrace bar where the music was vibrant! To sum up, very beautiful hotel with nice people and facilities. Thank you.

Our third holiday with Ikos and the first time at Aria - the best yet. Absolutely fabulous experience, started relaxing from the moment we arrived at reception. The team and facilities at Ikos are first class. Lovely people, high quality food. Excellent from start to finish.

We stayed at Ikos Aria in June this year. As Ikos veterans Aria is by far our favourite Ikos resort both for its beautiful beachfront position, spacious design and consistency of service and this was our 4th visit! We stayed in a gorgeous Delux beachfront room, the garden leading straight on to the beautiful sandy beach with a glorious view of Kastri island. The staff were fabulous especially our Delux Collection Manager Yulia. So attentive throughout our stay and she even took the time to personally come and chat to us numerous times, to check all was perfect, nothing was too much. Service was quick, friendly and efficient in all departments. The food was delicious, gardens were pristine and because of its size and design, aria never feels busy. We particularly love the Delux reception bar and seasons restaurant.

We’re a family of 5, ranging in age from 7 to 67, and have just returned from our 4th Ikos / 1st Aria holiday. I will run out of superlatives to describe our fortnight at Aria. The minor issues we’d had on previous Ikos holidays were addressed from the outset at Aria and the single / subjective issue we had early on on this holiday was compensated for in spades throughout the rest of this holiday. The customer centric Ikos brand is lived by every member of Aria’s staff at all times - each and every one was focused on ensuring we had the best holiday ever, and they absolutely succeeded in that goal. Karina, Front Office Manager, and I had exchanged emails in advance of our arrival, she made herself known to us on our arrival and on each of her working days, sought us out to check everything was good. There are too many other excellent staff members to name, but they’re everywhere - concierge, reception, bars, restaurants, beach, pools, gardening, housekeeping, mini bar and room service. Nothing is too much trouble for any of them; I hope our gratitude for and respect of them came across in our interactions with them. We had a panoramic sea view suite (1314) and a sea view suite (4201); both were roomy, clean, well stocked, quiet and ideally positioned to enjoy the spectacular views from their balconies, morning and evening. We ate a la carte every evening (twice in each restaurant, I can’t call which was our favourite, they were all brilliant and adequately different from each other) and sampled all the restaurants open at breakfast and lunch, but skipped some meals and also ate at the beach, around the pool and courtesy of room service. Great food and beverage selection and quality everywhere. We also encountered service excellence throughout the resort. We opted out of dine out again, having had a poor experience at Marbella Elix a few years ago. We did, however, enjoy our time out of the resort on the evening cruise and in the Tesla - Zia in particular was a lovely experience and an interesting contrast to Kefalos. The younger members of our party also made good use of the wide range of activities available in resort, and ventured across to Kastri island. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet the beautiful beach was, most people seeming to prefer the pools, perhaps because of the public Agios Stefanos beaches at either end and non residents walking from one to the other, not that that bothered us in the slightest. The WhatsApp concierge service was always an efficient yet friendly and personal means of requesting anything, and we also made use of the QR codes in room and at the beach / pools to request food and drinks. The hotel layout, its grounds and views are spectacular and its location is just a short journey away from the airport, which is a key criterion for us. I was concerned that the temperature might be too high, so far south in July, but Kos is blessed with a breeze that makes the heat manageable. The only downsides to o

The Ikos Aria is beautiful hotel very spacious grounds plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas round the pools where staff will lay your towels and position sunbeds how you want them , there is also waiter service at the pools for drinks and food , there is 8 restaurants to choose from ,I recommend you get the Ikos app as you can pre book 3 restaurants before you even check in it’s def a must as the restaurants are so good they get booked up very quickly . Staff are just amazing so attentive polite and very friendly, lots of them go back year after year we was told by one of the bar staff Ann Marie , she was great nothing is too much trouble for Ann Marie or any of the staff to be fair , Diego the duty manager was fab took time of of his busy day to speak to people and was always on hand to help if need be . We did also take advantage of the Tesla for the day you get to have it from 9am to 7pm , there is also a dine out option of 3 restaurant's which we managed to get to visit 2 of them 1 with the most amazing views and sunset (Mylotopi) , and they also have a boat trip you can go on with drinks and snacks all included . Rooms were very comfortable , good mini bar restocked everyday and spotlessly clean towels were changed every day and there was also a turn down service which was a lovely touch . It was our first time staying at an Ikos but it def won’t be our last we loved KOS and the Aria and would 100% recommend it ,we did 10 days .
