Ikos Dassia

Location was marvelous, right on the beach. Small ***** of sandy/shingle beach and a pontoon with beds and parasols. Sometimes tricky to get a bed as day trippers use them. Breakfast was good with breads, pastries, cereal, fruit, yoghurt, juices, bacon, cheese, ommlette, fried egg etc Easy transfer from/to Corfu airport - flat rate 40 euros for taxi or bus stops at top of track down to hotel. Supermarket and further tavernas on main road. Tavernas and a few bars along the beach, mostly quiet. Nasty big hotels either end of the beach blaring out music but DBH is well away from them. Hotel serves good food and has good bar too. Room was very pleasant and simple with a balcony. Very clean, great staff (Note!! The main photo is not the hotel or even Dassia, sort it out Tripadvisor)

Our second time going to Ikos (first time at Dassia) and it was exactly what we expected. Just amazing. You pay a premium price and everything you get with it is beyond premium. We had a small hiccup at one of the restaurants and the public relations manager was very quick to rectify and ensure we felt looked after.

Me and my husband are very active people so we spent literally every day of our 10 day holiday down at the sports centre either in the gym, playing tennis, or both!

We cannot praise Fiovas Rouvas and the rest of his team enough. They made us feel truly welcome without it feeling forced like they had to only because of their job. They took the time out of they day to always just speak to us, have a laugh, and talk sport.

Cleanliness was spot on, food was just incredible, scenery perfect.

We booked Olivia for next year, however have sadly had to cancel due to finding out I am pregnant and due roughly the same time as the booking. But we will most definitely be back at another Ikos soon. Cannot recommend more!

Amazing place and 5* service.

Before I start I would just like to say I have extremely high standards and a OCD freak! so this may help if you are reading all the reviews like I did.

On arrival we were blown away by the views and the decor of the hotel. Lovely welcome with refreshments.

Room -
We had a panoramic sea view junior suit . It was plenty big enough for myself, partner and 4 year old. The rooms are a little basic in terms of style and don’t completely fit the rest of the hotel interior although modern enough but most importantly to me immaculately clean!! The cleaners were amazing and went above and beyond everyday. The bed was comfy although pillows need upgrading. I have to add. Hairdryers need upgrading desperately. If you have a Dyson take it with you!

Staff-
The level of service here I found made our stay that little bit more special. Every single employee were so lovely and attentive. They made so much effort with my child and couldn’t do enough always with a smile on there face.
Special mention to Diana that looked after us most days by the pool and was amazing!!
Iliana was an absolute dream for anything I needed and made sure we were looked after so well.
Kira also was so lovely and so helpful.
When ringing for room service everything was bought up so quickly and everything you asked for you got!
Staff were also amazing in restaurants and in the lobby bars. I can’t remember the names of the bar staff in sky building but they were brilliant in the evenings.

Cleaninliness- 10/10 can’t fault!

Food -
I am an extremely fussy eater but was overly impressed. breakfast and lunch had a good variety to offer. We ate at the grill house, in our opinion by far the best restaurant. Provence was really good and fresco- amazing tomato soup! We ate at Ergon deli and Anaya these didn’t live up to expectations for me. Absolute shame as Thai is my favourite food. We ate at ozou for lunch one day and I was a little disappointed. I was worried about reviews regarding food poisoning but we had no issues at all and we ate everything so don’t let that put you off at all. I could of and I would have missed out on this hotel.

We went out to the old town and borrowed the ikos Tesla. We had a great time the Greek people are truly so kind and welcoming compared to us English 🤣

Entertainment- Good entertainment, not tacky and we absolutely loved the cello player and singer she was incredible. The band and blues brothers were so good and they really put the effort in. Unfortunately we missed the white party on the beach and listened on the balcony and regretted it big time!

Overall I didn’t want to come home and had the most perfect family holiday. I would 100% book here again just because you know you will not be disappointed and it was worth every penny.

Thanks to all the staff at ikos dassia for going that extra mile. We will be back.

We stopped for a lunch here whilst visiting the area. Beautiful looking over the calm seafront. Enjoyed a cocktail only 5.50euros, very reasonable. They had a good varied menu making it difficult to choose. Hubbie had prawn & mushroom spaghetti , freshly cooked said it was lovely. I had a sliced chicken dish with pitta & salad, very large potion , which I couldn’t eat it all , was tasty though. Few glasses of local wine, got given a complimentary glass of local orange liquor. A nice touch. Worth a visit.

Its the 2nd time we have been here and the welcome was wonderful from all the members of the staff, Its clean comfortable (especially the pillows) amazing sunrise views good food I can not fault it , The reception staff very helpful indeed when I had a problem with a trip I booked which they sorted out for me in no time. Its a perfect place to chill out read a book or 3 and recharge your batteries. If you want a lot more I suggest you look else where.

We had a great break. The options for meals was amazing and worked well for adults and kids. A football academy on site was a great asset with an energetic 7 year old and a quiet play area outdoors and indoors in the day. Having a variety of restaurants scattered around the hotel made it very special with such a variety of food and water sports for those who liked that. Would recommend this for adults and children.
