The Deluxe Collection at Aria
Is Deluxe worth it here?
- Seasons restaurant, the Deluxe pool and kids' pool, and two Deluxe bars, just for Deluxe guests
- Every dinner booked before you arrive, not just the first three
- Your own Deluxe concierge, upgraded minibar and in-room dining
- Two neck and back massages per suite, and the electric MINI for two days
- Airport transfers included
Our view: Deluxe at Aria adds your own pool, bars and Seasons restaurant, a lovely extra for a special occasion. It's a treat, not a must: couples already have the adults-only beach area and beach pool, and families love the private-pool suites.

From our Aria guests
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!
