Reviews
First of all, it‘s ridiculous that not all drinks are included in the all-inclusive package, like not even an iced cappuccino or orange juice. The food at the main restaurant is very blant and repetitive despite the theme nights. The service is also always very unmotivated. We had to wait 30 mins for two ice teas during dinner.
Our room (which doesn’t represent a 5-star hotel-room anyway in our opinion) faces the main pool, giving us almost no privacy + there are so many ants in our bathroom.
We do not recommend any spa treatments, considering we paid 300€ (!) for two people and now both have severe neck pain since our treatments. The treatments were also shorter than promised.
The facility, however, is beautiful and well maintained. The private beach section also has very clear and clean water - however, it sucks having to walk up to the Dedalos Bar every time to get drinks, considering it is supposed to be a 5 Star service.
All in all, we‘ve been to way better hotels for less money.
Thank you.

Maybe those who like modern buildings won't like it, but those who prefer rooms and bungalows in small, secluded, and quieter separate buildings will love it. The hotel is spread over a large area, so it's big, but the buildings are well-placed, so it's not just one huge building. It’s a truly wild and beautiful place for chilling.
We booked all-inclusive, and it far exceeded our expectations.
All meals were delicious in the main restaurant. But what is fantastic are the little extra gems like the place called Sunset (where you can eat once as an all-inclusive guest at no extra charge). Everything there was extremely beautiful and extremely delicious. The Italian restaurant also exceeded my expectations.
Every night there is an adorable show in the main bar, and there is always something to do in this hotel.The spa is very fun; they let you bargain as part of the daily deal, which is an experience in itself. However, the service there is also five-star.There is even tennis available. The tennis coach is a really cool guy. We enjoyed every lesson with him.
If you need something like sunscreen or an ice-cold Monster energy drink 😅, there is a shop inside the hotel which offers everything at very fair prices, almost without exception.
I heartily congratulate the hotel management for the wonderful way they run the facility.
The transfer to and from the airport was super convenient, very punctual, and fast – probably my best experience so far.
All in all, 10/10. I can only recommend it, especially for the value for money.
This hotel is a hidden treasure.
One tip: we received olive oil and honey as a gift. I tried to sneak it through airport security, but unfortunately, I failed. It would be worthwhile to give these gifts in 100-millilitre packs so I can get them home. But it was a really nice gesture.

One thing I did not like: there was a photography brigade which was extremely out of sync with the hotel.when I took a picture, a screaming neurotic woman started yanking and shouting like a mad person. Obviously, there is no sign that you have to pay for the prints... Anyway, this could be done in a civilized way, but if it wasn't organized by the hotel, I suggest that remove them very soon because it was such a bad experience. I was annoyed for hours.
The location is stunning, the pools and seating as well as the restaurants are located beautifully along the coastline with views to the sea.
The "village" of bungalows and buildings looks very nice. Greenery is mainted well and is in general beautiful.
What really makes this a recommendable experience is the location/view and the impeccable and immaculate sand beach.
Adults only : worst error ever. Ikaros has started loosing its soul the day it has been bought by S Resorts group a few years ago. Everything began to be expensive and less local.
Big shame for the best hotel it used to be ! Last years decisions are really poor management, and please don’t answer to this comment telling me you have other hotels for children.
So sad 😩 and I hope it reverse someday.
The service was okay overall, some staff was very kind (especially housekeeping, the PR staff that greets you in the restaurant, spa), some staff not so much (only certain individuals in the restaurant).
I would recommend the hotel, but with just a few small touches, the experience could be even more elevated.
