The 'Far Out' was an excellent place to stay! It has a variety of accomodation to cater to all budgets, and has great facilities, activities and staff. The inside info from the staff was excellent!

Stayed at this hotel Oct 8-10 and was not impressed with the cleanliness, Pulled back the sheets as I always do and mattress cover was covered in sand and hair. There was tampon wrapper on the floor and when I used my towel to wipe water off the floor it was black.
Watched the cleaner use the same sponge to clean the toilet and move to wipe the counter.
Food was good and drinks are cheap beach is wonderful. beds are uncomfortable and hard but seems to be the norm throughout Greece. Over all potential if they increase their cleanliness standards.

This place does have a great location, and it does have potential to be very fun. BUT,. the hotel rooms are horrible. The beds feel and look like they were purchased from a prison. The TV was a small piece of junk, and there were bugs everywhere. Oh, by the way, do not eat outside during the day. You will be attacked by flies and bees. I ordered shrimp outside and I was immediately attacked by a swarm of flies and bees. When I asked if I could take my food inside their restaurant the waitress rudely told me "no, then everyone would ask to eat inside." The breakfast is horrible as well.

The Far Out Village hotel is part of a group that includes the Hotel & Spa (which is up the top of the hill at Mylopotas Beach and prob a bit annoying to get to) and the Camping section which is next door to the Village hotel right on the beach. Mylopotas Beach is directly across the road and is prob the best beach in Ios. Great watersports, cheap loungers, sandy beach...

The Village Hotel is made up of individual bungalow type rooms with their own bathrooms. They are fairly comfortab;e, with air conditioning and their own deck to sit and have a drink, play cards etc.

The Village Hotel has its own bar, restuarant and pool - the food is great and all very reasonably priced.

The camping area next door also has a pool, bar and self-service restaurant - all really cheap and good quality. The bar does 4 euro cocktails (happy hour all day) and they are great - dont bother with the menu, just ask for a cocktail and mention anything you dont want in it and the friendly guys at the bar will make a bespoke cocktail for you on the spot. The camping area shows movies on a big screen every night, great for chilling out. The wood-fired pizza there is also fantastic.

The sunset views from both the Village and the camping are awesome.

Overall the place is great, Ios was by far our favourite Greek Island and that was a lot to do with the proximity to the beach and the great value of Ios and Far Out.

They provide free transfers from the port also - just let them know what time you arrive.

Also def hire a quad bike or scooter and have a drive around the island.
