Ios Palace Hotel & Spa

Love this hotel ! The location is perfect on the island. The staff are very friendly and helpfull. Great experience overall. It’s our second time in Ios Palace and it is a great place to stay. The hotel can improve and upgrade its breakfast a bit.

Very nice hotel, location is fantastic, onsite parking is a little hard to get to. Staff, management and service was amazing, breakfast was included and the choice and quality was very good. Rooms need a little updating other wise everything else was super!

Beautiful hotel next to the beach. Lots of lovely restaurants close by and the main town only a 10 minute bus trip from outside the hotel. We had a problem with a bad smell of drains in our room on arrival, however this was fixed straight away by the hotel by replacing the drain filter. We had a bottle of champagne provided as an apology which was lovely. I see someone else had a similar issue with the drains, but clearly didn’t ask the hotel to fix the problem. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the food and cleanliness was excellent. I would definitely return again.

Billy (can’t spell her name beginning with “V”, funky 70s glasses), Effie, Chris & especially Costas are just the most lovely, welcoming & fun staff. It really makes a place!!! Joy who gave the massage was just brilliant. Brekkie was tasty & plentiful. Beds were comfortable & the view from every where in the hotel was just a feast for the eyes. The upstairs pool was just great as it wasn’t well used. Didn’t smell any sewage or experience mosquitos. The cats were my friends in the end. I cannot fault this place, I felt happy & at home here. We walked to Chora, not far. There are buses which are very regular. Be careful on the beach when there are boats coming as the waves can drag you under. I love this place, would highly recommend.

Our stay at IOS Palace Grand was outstanding from start to finish! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, and we were thrilled to receive an upgrade that made our stay even more comfortable and relaxing. The super friendly staff truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. Special mention to Christos and Demetrious, who made our stay with our 5-month-old son so memorable. Their exceptional service and warm hospitality are something we won't forget. We are incredibly grateful for such a wonderful stay and will definitely be booking again soon. Thank you to everyone at IOS Palace Grand for making our trip so special!

Where do I start. The hotel its self is very nice. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The room is well appointed and modern considering its Greece. We travel to Greece every year and split our month long vacation between the main land and the islands. We landed via the port and drove to the hotel. I am not one to complain and understand that this is Greece not Manhattan. I only book hotels with parking on the property to make it convenient for us. We used GPS to find the hotel and were taken down a very narrow steep poorly maintained road with steep inclines and sharp curves. Thinking the gps made a mistake we called the hotel and were advised we were at one of the parking sites. I have no issue driving in greece as I have been doing it for years. This road was unsigned and I considered it dangerous by my standards. We were unable to locate the parking lot and called the hotel. We were given the name of a restaurant by the staff to enter on our gps to locate the parking lot. We were told at that time we could park at the current location but when we asked the distance from our location the hotel was we were told it was not far but when the location of an alternate parking lot that we were given it turned out the distance was over 1.5 kms away. When we researched this hotel we were assured that parking was close to the hotel. I and never stayed at a location advertising the parking on site over a Km away. Unacceptable and we felt as we were victims of a fraud. We again began our downward decent on a very poorly maintained road that caused our vehicle to bottom out several times. Once we drove to the land mark restaurant provided by the staff we had to call again and request directions as there were no signs for directions to a parking lot. We had to be guided by staff to locate a parking lot that was near but not close to the hotel that was very steep and small. We were with another couple in a second vehicle and only found one parking spot. The parking in the area is very limited. Luckily we waited and a parked vehicle eventually left and our friends got a parking spot. The hotel is a larger hotel with very limited parking. When we questioned the staff about the parking we were advised that we could park off the hotel site at public parking lot 300 meters away. I asked why we needed to do this when the hotel advertised parking on site. Ridiculous! If you are handicapped or have health issues preventing you from walking or doing many stairs this is not the hotel for you. This is the first time we experienced this and felt defrauded as per the hotel description on booking. Having ranted about something as silly as parking. The grounds are nice and the rooms are clean. Having a knee issue at the time of our arrival and the parking situation caused me great agitation and anger feeling we were mislead. If you are young healthy and don’t need parking I would rate this hotel 5 out of 5. Having said this as a middle
