Ikos Aria

Having stayed at a number of Ikos (and Sani) resorts over the years, we had high expectations for our first visit to Ikos Aria, and we’re delighted to say it exceeded them. We just spent 10 wonderful days here and had the most fantastic holiday. The weather was glorious throughout, very warm, but Kos benefits from a lovely breeze that keeps the heat comfortable and makes it easy to enjoy long days by the pool and beach. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. Everything is impeccably maintained, the gardens are stunning, and the cleanliness throughout the resort is second to none. It’s exactly the standard we’ve come to expect from Ikos. As always, what really sets Ikos apart is the people. The service across every restaurant, bar, pool and beach was exceptional. Every member of staff was warm, friendly and genuinely keen to make our holiday special. We made it our mission to try every restaurant during our stay and were impressed across the board. The quality of the food was outstanding. If we could make just one suggestion, it would be to expand the menu at Anaya by adding a selection of sushi and sashimi, along with a delicious Thai green curry. We think these would be fantastic additions to an already excellent dining experience. One of the highlights for our children was the morning Football Academy. They absolutely loved every session. It inspired us to start an informal 6pm 'Dads vs Kids football match every evening, which quickly grew into a brilliant event with lots of fellow guests joining in. It became one of our favourite memories of the holiday and really summed up the friendly atmosphere at the resort. A special thank you to Vangelis and the whole Aria team for making the holiday so enjoyable. It was fantastic to see you again, Vangelis. Thank you for everything! We’ll see you again soon! Ikos Aria has been another unforgettable Ikos experience, and we left already looking forward to our next visit.

An amazing location, truly excellent staff and service across all areas of the resort was brilliant. Du Lux upgrade was worth it. We have stayed in a number of the IKOS resorts including Sani , but this has been by far the best experience. A number of the staff stood out Clara / Marta in Seasons, Izzy , Geirgio in the sports club, Rizwan, Fabio , Pablo by the pool and Anastasia. The music is the evening was excellent. Hats off to the management team, the customer service was 10 out of 10.

We’ve just got back from a week at Ikos Aria and can honestly say it’s the best holiday we’ve been on - the hotel, staff, food, setting are all incredible. The staff couldn’t do enough for us or the children and went above and beyond ok every level. The food is utterly fantastic and cocktails to die for. Thank you for making it an incredible week away for us all!

We have just returned from Ikos Aria, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The resort itself is absolutely stunning. The grounds are immaculate, the pools are beautiful. Everything is maintained to an exceptionally high standard. The food was outstanding. Every restaurant offered something unique, and the quality was consistently exceptional. It never felt like a typical all-inclusive – it felt like dining in top-quality restaurants every evening. The drinks, cocktails, and wine selection were equally impressive. Travelling with children can sometimes be stressful, but Ikos Aria makes it effortless. The kids’ facilities, activities, and the genuine warmth shown by the staff meant our children had an amazing time, while my partner and I were also able to relax and enjoy some quality time together. What truly sets Ikos Aria apart is the service. Every member of the team greets you with a smile, remembers the little details, and genuinely cares about making your holiday special. That level of hospitality is rare and makes all the difference. If you’re looking for a luxury family holiday where absolutely everything is taken care of, I couldn’t recommend Ikos Aria more highly. It is worth every penny, and we’ll definitely be returning. Thank you to everyone who made our holiday so memorable!

First time for me at an all inclusive resort. But they don’t make you feel like it is. They do a great job of still keeping it luxurious. Look into some of the activities before you arrive to be sure not to miss out. Great activities for adults and kids. We participated in a tennis tournament for adults on a Sunday. We took out the complimentary mini for a day trip which was lovely too. The yoga classes were amzing. Both instructors Julia and Julie did a great job. I especially loved the fullmoon yoga, if that’s available during your stay do book it! They offer Pilates and other more intense workouts. Pools are great - a little cold though. The beaches are also beautiful, we preferred the deluxe beach - where the water felt calmer. You can swim to the near by islands and rocks if you are feeling adventurous. The staff was amazing. The town nearby kardemena was cute with some good restaurants. (15-20 mins by taxi)
