"Lovely hotel, friendly ,helpful staff. My son and his friends had a fantastic holiday. Hotel rooms clean with bed linen changes and air con. There was also a fridge in the room.

Mare Monte

"classic greek hospitality by the lovely couple of Katerina and Lambros. Their hospitality and energy was so much more than I asked for. Enjoyed the beach and easy access.to the rest of.beaches and up the hill to Chora that is only 5mins riding my scooter. super close to the ferry port and nearby 3-4 other bars, restaurant and cafes. Easy to rent car nearby and gas station. Has small private common pool. Would definitely come again and highly recommend"

Ios Grand Pool Suites

"We, along with all our guests, stayed at the Ios Palace Hotel for our daughters wedding in June 2024 where everyone had a great stay. We rated the hotel and the island so highly that my wife and I decided to return for a holiday without the stress of a wedding in June this year (2025). Deciding to push the boat out and give ourselves a treat, we stayed in the Ios Grand Pool Suites which are annexed to the hotel. The suites have everything you could wish for, beautiful rooms, spacious outside space, comfortable outdoor furniture, infinity pool and glorious views of the bay, plus you have access to all the other facilities the hotel offers. The breakfast service was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble for the Chef and the room service meals were really good and reasonably priced (unlike many hotels we have stayed in!!). We don't intend to mention any staff by name as everyone, from reception staff, spa staff, room service, cleaners, gardeners to bar staff were a joy. A special mention must go to to the manager Dimitrios, he was always around the hotel and suites, always approachable and took the time to ensure that everything was ok and that we were enjoying our stay. It did seem that the positivity and customer service delivered by all the staff was a reflection of what was coming down from the management team. Both the Hotel and the Suites offer first class accommodation and everything you would want for a fabulous holiday on a beautiful island. Thank you to everyone."

Agalia Luxury Suites

"Hotel was so tastefully and creatively done. The staff was super attentive, welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect in terms of being close enough to town but far enough to feel like a quiet paradise. Everything about how it was designed was to promote relaxation and tranquility from the glistening lighting in the rooms at night, to the giant lounger on our deck to the pages highlighted in a book in our room that was opened every night to a different passage for us to read before bed. Well done! I also loved their Pathos sister property. Even my critical teens loved it!! We will be back - and will definitely check out the other properties on the island. Thank you Elias and crew for an amazing time!"

Skala Sunset Hotel and Spa

"We had an amazing stay at Skala. The room was really cool and roomy and very clean and modern. The pool and bar area were fantastic and the sunset and general view outstanding and will stay with me for a lifetime. A very exceptional experience and lovely family that own and run it"

"Getting off the ferry at Ios was the most pleasant of 4 stops. Our hotel transfer was waiting for us immediately after exiting ship. This whole exit the ferry process took less than 5 minutes to sit in the transfer. The ride was lengthy but scenic, lots of mountain, valley, coastline and sun plants. When you arrive at the property you immediately see this picturesque resort in the middle of the rocky island with beautiful natural appeal. Exiting the private transfer and walking up to the front entrance you are greeted by a concierge front desk staff member to show you the property and offer you a welcome drink. We were blown away by the design of the property filled with custom statues and murals all with the purpose of separating negative from positive and help set the tone for your stay. Our concierge specialist Ioannis also assisted me in setting up a birthday surprise for my wife via email, he arranged for her favorite flowers, balloons, a delicious birthday cake and a staff birthday card to make my wife's special day that much better (he must have told the entire staff of her birthday because she was celebrated everywhere we went), my only responsibility was to get my wife out of the room and their beautiful spa provided the perfect cover. We both received spa treatments and I for one almost fell asleep during the massage. Breakfast (included) provides lots of a la carte and buffet options, leaving any taste satisfied. The lunch and dinner options are room service, main restaurant, and a fine dining experience with optional wine paring. Sommelier Fillipos expertly selects the accompanying wine for the 9 course meal, he explains why he chose the wine, where it comes from, its history, and some of the flavor profile in a way that is not overbearing. The fine dining meal was fantastic every dish named after a different Greek island really gives you a sample of places you may not have the time to visit. Our personal favorite was dish 6 (a cacio e pepe) and our least favorite was 2 (sardines presented in a finger food dish). Mariana was our waitress staff member at the fine dining restaurant Chez, she was really nice and even helped my wife down a flight of steps since her heels were of the 'ooolala' variety. The main restaurant is simple yet refined, and the selection is varied for all tastes (includes vegetarian, vegans, pescatarians, and carnivores like myself). 2 of the most memorable wait staff members were Maria and George, both assisting us on multiple occasions throught our stay (there were more great staff members but I failed to gain their names during our 3 night stay). The F&B manager Taros (I hope spelled that way *sorry if not) was great and very welcoming, he was always present and observing the performance of the establishment. Our most memorable moments were at the beautifully designed main bar conveniently located in the middle of the main restaurant and stocked with some of the rarest fine whiskeys, tequilas, gins, and rums "

Brother's Hotel

"We have stayed here several times and as usual a great holiday. Nicki and Lisa are always so helpful and its just a joy to stay. The hotel and pool are always spotless. The buffet breakfast which is a selection of cheeses and meats, cereal, as well as a hot selection of eggs bacon sausage or omelette, pastries the list goes on. The rooms spotless and cleaned every day. Nicki and Lisa are always on hand to give info about the island or to just have a chat. The pool area is spacious and again so clean and comfortable. There are also several places local around the port to eat which are very good."

FarOut - BeachResort & Camping

"Far out camping is not good. The tent was dirty , dusty and had many holes. For a cheap place we expected it to be minimal and not great , however it was bad. The dust could have been wiped and holes covered up. The bed i stayed in was extremely uncomfortable, and had missing planks in it. You aren’t given a top sheet to cover you , so have ended up being bitten. However the far out village and pools are great , lots of beds and didn’t have to pay , only had to buy something. The food was great and staff were friendly , great location and easy cheap bus into chora. Wouldn’t reccomend if not into partying most nights. But right on the sea front and beach."
