Far Out Hotel & Spa

Upon our arrival staff was very friendly. When we saw our room we freaked out. Plumbing issues, shower head was broken, and loud noise came out of the pipes when we took our shower. Mold everywhere. We complained and little was done. Upon a second complaint staff were willing to change our room but the other ones were not any better. Once they saw our level of dissatisfaction the manager did order new plumbing accessories and a major clean up. We appreciated their efforts and it was much better. Beds were stiff as many complained on Trip Advisory but that was the least of my worries. Room view was amazing. The bar could stay opened a little later. Barman was very nice. This hotel is more for young students. Couples should shell out more bucks and be more secluded in another area of the resort if they are looking for more intimacy. Breakfast was nothing to brag about and quality was not up to par with other resorts. I don't think I can recommend this place as a 4 star.

We had a nice stay at this hotel- they picked us up from the port and had a shuttle service to the beach front (they have another property on the beach that is a hostel, but you can use the facilities there). This hotel is nice with a good breakfast, but the hostel on the beach is definitely a party place with 18-22 year olds (think spring break). As this was a family trip, it was maybe a little more party than we wanted, but we had a good time. There are plenty of other chairs/umbrellas along the beach that you could pay for that seemed quieter. We had a car for 1 day to drive around and sightsee. Definitely would recommend going to Pathos for the sunset if you go to Ios.

We stayed here for 3 nights while travelling around the greek islands and absolutely loved it. The hotel is in great condition (looks recently refurbished) and has what must be the best view in Ios. The staff are super friendly and helpful and bent over backwards to help us when we were running late to catch a ferry (thanks guys!) If I come back to Ios this will be my go-to hotel, I highly recommend it (and I am used to staying in 4 or 5 star hotels).

The beds in this hotel were very uncomfortable. If you like sleeping on the floor then you will like the beds. It's also not right next to the far out beach resort so you will have to wait for the free transfers down to the beach as the walk is about a 20 minute walk from the resort. The bar tender at this hotel is amazing though, he was very accomodating and knew his stuff. Very friendly and polite.

Amazing location, beautiful view and hotel. Service could of been a bit better. We were told there would be shuttles to the beach and back but once we finally came around to ask for one they told us to walk (which isn’t far but still). We also had an incident during our stay and they didn’t really compensate for it.
