The Deluxe Collection pool at Ikos Andalusia

The Deluxe Collection at Andalusia

Is Deluxe worth it here?

  • Seasons restaurant, the Deluxe pool, the Deluxe bar and a reserved beach area, just for Deluxe guests
  • Every dinner booked before you arrive, not just the first three
  • Your own Deluxe concierge, upgraded minibar, in-room dining and champagne service
  • Two neck and back massages per suite, a Supper Club evening and the electric MINI for two days
  • Airport transfers included on stays of 5 nights or more

Our view: at Andalusia the Deluxe Collection is the newer part of the resort, with its own pool, bar and Seasons restaurant. For couples and private-pool lovers it's worth it; most families are very happy in the main resort.

★★★★★

Excellent customer service.

We booked an Ikos holiday through The Travel Brand and can't fault the service we received. My husband unexpectedly needed surgery meaning we couldn't travel on the date originally booked, but the team took care of everything and rearranged everything. Would definitely recommend.

★★★★★

Only one thing to do on a Travel Brand…

Only one thing to do on a Travel Brand holiday………and that’s to book another one!!!
I cannot recommend Raj and his team highly enough. We have used the travel brand for several years now, not just for family holidays, but also F1 trips and business hotel bookings.
Nothing is too much trouble, and in uncertain times, knowing they only are only a WhatsApp away, is absolutely priceless.

★★★★★

Travel Brand are excellent

I have been dealing with the Travel Brand for about 6/7 years and found their service (and prices) to be excellent
Their team are charming (well done Raj and Faisal) and they always find competitive prices (which with my reasearch is always tough!)
Nothing is ever an issue and they seem to be available almost 24/7! We would highly recommend them!
