We booked this hotel for a luxury experience for 3 nights. The view and outdoor area is lovely and is beautiful to wake up to.|However, for the price point and position they are trying to situate themselves in the market - there was a lot lacking for us.||• no full length mirror|• no tissues in bathroom|• few items in the suite were noticeably from ikea|• glassware and spoon for tea / coffee was dirty|• tacky sticker in the bathroom to prevent you flushing tissue (understand this needs to be communicated but the sticker was tacky and peeling off)|• toilet smelt of sewage|• shower head was squirting in all directions|• floor felt dirty (had to wipe feet before putting shoes on)|• noticed a few hairs that weren’t ours!|• room service took 1 hour for lunch and also salad was soggy (this is because it comes from the beach bar)|• reception staff talking amongst themselves in Greek language whilst we were waiting|• would often call the room and then when we would answer they would end the call (would be very annoying if we were asleep)|• had to call reception every day to tell them when we wanted the cleaners to come (never had to do this before?!)|• tea and coffee was messy and not aligned in the tray (I know this sounds picky but when paying nearly £400 a night I would expect this to be straight)|• no water in the fridge for our arrival|• staff member forgot who we were after he collected us from the port|• pool was very cold|• had to pay €5 each for use of a gym that is part of a sister hotel (gym was not a luxury experience whatsoever and wouldn’t expect to pay this for the price of the hotel)||The outdoor area does lose sun by 5pm but understand there was always going to be a point it was lost! No not complaining about that.||The area of Ios is strange - you either have the main centre or the beach area. Whilst there are nice restaurants among these, nowhere gets busy before 9pm.||Best restaurants we visited were Salt (near the beach) and Katogi (in the centre).||In summary, we would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for a super luxurious experience. Unless you are in Ios for a wedding, or a party scene - then I would suggest to choose a much nicer Greek...
Read moreMy wife and I stayed at the Hide Out suites for the first half of our honeymoon. I can't say enough about how great our stay was. They had a company transport van pick us up from the port and drop us off directly at our villa. When we arrived, concierge was there to greet us and give us a full tour of the property, and also provide us with any information we needed. The room itself was massive, with a very large bathroom/shower, and living room. The bedroom had a sliding glass door that led directly out to a private yard with couches, dining table, sun chairs, and large private infinity pool. The view from our villa looked directly out into the bay, offering incredible views no matter where you were in the suite. Every night, they had us fill out a breakfast sheet outlining what we wanted the next morning, along with the time we wanted breakfast to be delivered to the room. Every morning, breakfast came at the exact time we requested. The food was incredible. We also ordered drinks and food to the room for lunch and dinner, and the service was just as good. Hide Out is affiliated with Far Out suites, who offers a private or semi private boat tour. We took advantage of this, and had a four hour private boat tour take us to 8-10 different beaches in Ios that are only accessible by boat. This was one of the best parts of our trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our trip was memorable. The facility and our room were very clean, and housekeeping came every day. The location of the hotel itself was excellent. It was only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Everything else in Ios was accessible by a 10 minute taxi ride. If you are traveling to Ios, I would highly recommend booking a sea view room at...
Read moreAn amazing stay at a beautiful property.||We stayed for 3 nights after a trip to Santorini for a friend's wedding, and it was a great place to unwind. Rooms are spacious and clean, and the pool area and sea views were amazing. The system runs like clock work, and the staff were wonderful. Both Sophia and Sam from the front desk really helped make our trip what it was. Sophia provided some amazing food recommendations and helped to sort all the reservations - not a single one was a disappointment. And it helped take any stress away from needing to decide where to eat and have to make reservations. We loved breakfasts - place your order the night before along with a time and it's delivered for you the next morning. Portions are very healthy and the produce is very fresh. There is a room service option throughout the day for food and drinks but we didn't really need it. The property also offers a laundry service which was very quick and great value for money.||Only slight downsides: I found the bed mattress a little uncomfortable, but I appreciate that's personal preference. And we did have some noisy neighbours on our final day, playing loud music. Everyone's entitled to enjoy their holidays, so we just made our way out for the afternoon. We mentioned it to the front desk and they assured us it wouldn't be allowed at night, and we returned after dinner to a very peaceful room once again.||I would come back to Hideout Suites in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anyone. Ios has a reputation for partying, and you can absolutely find this if you want it. But Hideout is far enough away from the beach and Chora for you to relax. The beach is less than a 10 minute walk and Chora is...
