- My 5th visit to Ikos Oceania in Nea Moudania in the Halkidiki region of Greece.
Ikos is a 5 star all-inclusive resort. I travelled there with my son in April/May 2022. I am vegan with food allergies and the hotel offers high standards of food to those with dietary requirements.
Planning a trip here with my college friends ! Looking very forward to it
Hope you have an amazing time. 🙂
Good video 😊
Hi, great video
Do you have an idea what the weather was like around the time you were there.
Going 2nd week in may
Great video you guys. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem wirh me. Does this resort have facilities in place (ramps? golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (is. from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much h, Steve S.
Thank you for your video, it looks so amazing. My husband and I are going next year. Is upgrading to deluxe worth it in your opinion?
Thanks 😊 I've never done Deluxe, as I don't feel I've missed out as everything already is amazing. In Deluxe you have a massage included, there's a separate pool with gin trolley but apart from that the restaurants and level of service the same. I think if the price to upgrade works for you, plus you want to pay for a massage anyway it may be worthwhile. I've booked the smallest promo room in the past though and still been treated like a queen!
Hi Charlotte, nice video, I have a question to your corner room on block 1. The room has a great vew, Was the room noisy from the bars/restaurants or some restaurant ventilation?
Not noisy at all. We're fairly high up there and the sound didn't really carry.
Well done. Fantastic video. Was the sea water warm enough? Is it busy at the hotel during May?
Thank you 🙂 Sea was a bit cool still. It was my 4th time there in May and didn't feel too busy
@@CharlotteOconnorTravel Ah so you are a loyal Ikos customer. Did they have daily live entertainment music during your stay or only during selected days?
@@private9948 we were there on opening day but not everything was on. We still had live music 3 nights out of 5. After first week of May there is a weekly Beach party with music and live shows in the theatre. Enough to keep you entertained most nights
Firstly I must say what a FUN LOVING person you really are, I gather Lewis is your lad? You seemed to have the best times. I’m eagerly awaiting 3rd October as I have 10 days out there, not sure if room the same but I’ve booked the Panorama junior suite with sea view.? 😬 food looks special but I contacted Ikos and they told me not to worry about booking breakfast but to book evening meals…. This especially bothered me when they suggested book ‘Flavours’ .. any sugestestions my lovely. Xx
Hi again. I definitely try to have fun! Yes Lewis is my youngest. My daughter Lily is in the Dassia video too.
I've not booked the Panoramic at Oceania before, I'm assuming it will be block 3. The views are amazing at Oceania.
Email now to book your evening meals. They will usually allow 3 now, don't book Flavours! I usually have Ouzo 1st night (got to have Greek food right!), then Provence 2nd night, 3rd night Anaya. The Italian is probably my least favourite, as pizza/pasta for a vegan is not that exciting! But they do some meat/fish options my friends/family love and the sunset from the terrace is wonderful. Make sure to speak to Alex or the other staff on arrival to book all other evening meals. 🙂
Great video. We're the pools heated as when we last went they weren't but that was the year ikos too over??
Thanks 🙂
I know the pools are meant to be heated. They must be, or it would have been freezing at the start of the season when we went and the pool felt a good temperature to me.
@@CharlotteOconnorTravel we went at the beginning of the season too and the pools were unusable to the point I nearly got hypothermia!! They must have made them heated since then as this was a regular complaint from guests back then, hence the reason we started going to the Olivia 20 minutes up the road!!
Thanks Charlotte x
Gorgeous!!! Can I just ask were all the places you had your meals at, were they included as "All inclusive?" Not that it matters. It's just that your Vegan options are fantastic. I can't believe I haven't been to this hotel before, it's stunning 😍
Yes, absolutely everything is included! There's 5 a la carte Restaurants and 1 buffet. Some of the other Ikos have even more restaurants. The mini bar in the room and room service 24/7 is included too. We really are spoilt for choice! X
@@CharlotteOconnorTravel I am absolutely shocked! Have I been under a rock or something?! I just texted my husband and sent him this video. We have our 30th anniversary next year! This is definitely ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
@@farquie1 it would be amazing for a 30th anniversary celebration! X
@@CharlotteOconnorTravel We are settling the wheels in motion! ✨️❤️✨️❤️✨️❤️✨️❤️
5 cocktails down! Good girl🤣👏👏
Hi .do they have children activity’s
Hi. They have kids day activities, soft play for little ones and a playground. I don't travel with children but others have said Ikos Olivia and Aria are the best ones with kids. Also I'd say people have commented there's not lots for kids to do in the evening
Hi Charlotte, good vid, a few quetions.
1. Is the mini bar complimentary.
2. Do they have a waiter service for the pools.
3. Have you ever been 1st week of October and if so what's the weather like.
Thanks.
Hi Thomas
1. Yes, mini bar is all complimentary. They will even send bottles of wine to your room from the restaurant.
2. They have amazing waiter service by the pools for drinks and snacks. Irina who manages the main pool bar and her team work so hard.
3. I've been 6th October for a week before and weather was around 20 degrees with occasional cloud. In 2021 mid October was terrible weather, so it can be a gamble. I'd say beginning of October is usually good though. I'm going again on 15th October 🙂
@@CharlotteOconnorTravel thanks Charlotte, appreciate your speedy response. We used to go to Greece but switched to Antalya in Turkey 10yrs ago but it's become so popular the prices are outrageous, (£ 5k-6k for 2 people for 7 nights at the top 3 hotels) hence why we're looking at Greece again. I will say the food looks absolutely fantastic at Ikos Hotels. Which of the Ikos hotels is your favourite? (Apologies for all the questions). Thanks
@thomasbroleen4241 it's crazy money for some places now. Ikos is really expensive in summer, so I usually go Apr/May or Sep/Oct. Food is good at ikos and I'll always put weight on (that may be the Cocktails though 🤣)
Oceania is definitely my favourite. It's smaller but it's the first one I went to and I think the staff there are the best
@@CharlotteOconnorTravel thanks so much for your replies Charlotte, just one last question, do you have to pay for the a la carte restaurants? As I've seen another vlog fro Ikos Oceania and a guest had a menu with prices in euros next to each dish. Apologies again.
@thomasbroleen4241 no problem. Happy to answer any questions. No you don't pay anything for the meals, the prices on the menus always throws people. It's Greek law that they still have to put a price next to every item on a menu.
You literally pay nothing extra there, apart from massages etc. I only take extra cash to tip the staff and that's it
