Reviews of Far Out Beach Club

02 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I really liked the pool area with all the amenities to help you relax, unwind. Staff were very friendly & the accomodation was good value for money. It had everything that was needed - esp air con.

Disliked: There could be a few more options for lunch & dinner. The cocktails could be a little cheaper esp if your drinking them all day. There could be more activities on the beach - e.g. beach volleyball etc.

Liked: Good location for the beach, Good food and decent prices, Staff were helpful, the waterslide and 'disco pool' were closed as we visited off season.

Disliked: Showers and toilets were average. Couldn't get onto the free Wifi at any time during my stay.

22 September 2011 Andreas would recommend this property

Liked: The location is great, very close to the beach, and there is a reliable bus transfer to to the village every 20 minutes. It's cheap, there is a little shop, the staff is helpful, the bar is fine and the food is actually rather great. You'd think they wouldn't care since twenty-something-year-olds with a hangover aren't the harshest food critics, but kudos to the chef!

Disliked: When I was there, the season was about to end, so it wasn't exactly packed with people. I found it unusually hard to find people, not a problem I had to face often. There were a ton of groups who kept to themselves though. Also, please note: This island is good for two things only: beach/water sports during the day, partying/drinking during the night. There is nothing else to do!

23 July 2011 Fiona would recommend this property

Liked: Loved every bit of it - I stayed in the village side which was great, room was just right, food in the restaurant was awesome, tunes around the pool all day made it hard to leave, and the bus is right out the front to get into town, always somthing happening to keep you entertained and realy easy to meet people! Definatly a place to stay for the 20 somthings (contiki stay here) if you want to have some fun - prob not the best place to stay if you want to get away from it all. A friend recomended it to me and now I have recomended it to everyone that asks! It made my holiday so much better!

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Everything

Disliked: Lighting in the bungalows needs to be brighter. Two of the showers were not working. More hooks to put your towel and clothes in the female showers. More pool parties or even beach parties!

09 July 2011 Sam would recommend this property

30 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great location next to the beach. Easy to get to town during the day and at night before midnight due to the buses. Fantastic place to meet people... in season, there are always people at the pools and beach area.

Disliked: Far Out is far out from town... walking home at night after the buses stop running takes 20-25 minutes. It's a tradeoff - live by the beach at Far Out and it's more convenient during the day, or stay at some place in town which is less convenient in the day but easier to get back to at night.

Liked: We stayed here just before peak season so the place wasn't fully packed. Rooms were nice with own terrace and daily maid services. Beach right across the road with watersports lots of pools and a quick bus ride into town to go out at night. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Free wifi was a bonus! If your going to party then this is the place for you!!!

02 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place is absolutely beautiful! Right across from the beach, you really couldnt ask for more. We booked a bungalow and stayed in it one night. They have no powerpoints and you have to use the camping shower and toilet blocks. Quite a few ants in our room, so we took the upgrade we were offered and the room was so much better. We had our own fridge, bathroom and TV, for only an extra 2euro a night! Overall I loved it here and wouldnt want to stay anywhere else in Ios!

Disliked: Ants in our first room!

01 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great atmosphere. You can walk right out onto the beach from the pool, plenty of beach sports/ water sports and activities available if you want to, or just hang out by the pool. Great breakfast bacon and egg rolls! Showers were always hot. Close bus ride into town and a cheap cab fare or 20min walk down hill to get back in the early hours. Huge party scene!

Disliked: Buy mosquito repellent.

01 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: FANTASTIC place! We had so much fun, even though it was the off-season. The staff were super friendly and fun, and the ensuite was amazing! So clean, everything included was really great too!

Disliked: The location was a bit off, but it was kind of nice to be away from everything at the same time. They have everything you need so the location doesn't really make too much of a difference!

23 May 2011 Sally would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent facilities, huge pool, with plenly of sun chairs. Beach across the road where you can do water sports. 20 min walk into town, seems far but you dont really go into town till night time. Good service pick up and drop off service from the port. Great vibe, great place to hang out and meet people.

Disliked: Laundry and internet pretty expensive. However does have Wi-Fi internet.

Liked: great

Disliked: mosquitos

25 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Right across the street from the beach. Good sized rooms with your own patio area.

Disliked: The majority of people staying there seemed to be on the 'bus-about' or contiki tour so unless your part of those groups can feel quite left out. Not actually near the centre of town, have to catch the bus for nights out then taxi back which adds up expenses.

17 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This was an amazing hostel! Actually its more like a resort! A great place to relax during the day on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen and a great place to party during the evenings! Cant wait to go back! The bungalows are amazing!

Disliked: The waitresses at the restaurant are very rude and it takes them forever to come and take your order. They seem to be in their own world chatting away to the bar man and such.

16 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Disliked: only 2 computers for people to use
