Relux Hotel

Very nice hotel. Staff is friendly. Rooms are satisfactory. Good bus connection to the beaches and to the Chora. Good location.

Location is great, we walked everywhere. Hotel clean, modern and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

Stayed for 6 nights as a family of 4. Room very spacious, clean and modern although shower room could do with a re-fit. Also no black out curtains so very light in the morning. Pool area lovely and quiet. We had the pool to ourselves most days. Pool quite cold though and no shallow end. It's very deep. Breakfast was lovely, fresh orange and coffee made to order which was a nice touch. We stayed half board and found the menu very limited (not much greek food on offer) but the food itself was nice enough, especially the salads. This could be improved by adding a few greek dishes (fresh fish/Moussaka etc). Service however was poor. We felt a bit like an inconvenience to the waitress and despite dessert apparently being included, we were never offered this. When we finished the meal the kids had to go ask for ice cream, which was brought but all the dirty plates left on the table. Strange as no one else ever dining so waitress has nothing else to do. Given we were the only diners, the service should have been amazing but sadly it was poor. The location of the hotel was great. 5 min walk to the ferry and 2 min walk to the bus stop. There is a lovely beach the other side of the port and a couple of beach bars which were chilled at night time. We stayed 6 nights however on reflection, there isn't much to do on Ios so I would say 4 nights is enough. Its a very windy island, which is good when hot but means sitting on the beach is impossible some days. Something to bear in mind if that's your thing as I'd say 4/6 days it was too windy to go on the beach. Lastly a minor thing, but on booking it states €7 per night tax but on arrival we were charged €10 per night. I questioned this at reception and was told she would look into it but didnt ever get back to me. I booked direct with hotel and their email clearly states €7. Overall a good, small hotel well located for exploring Ios. I would however stay b&b.
