“Nice pool, not so nice beach.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

Corali is situated just a stone’s throw from the port, a 2min walk. It looks great and has a wonderful pool. We had booked months in advance to ensure that we would get a double room, as it was high season. When we arrived we were told they were out of double rooms and that we would have to make do with a twin! This was not how we planned to spend the last leg of our 47day trip round Europe together. We were exhausted and just wanted to relax. The beach out front also leaves a lot to be desired. We had come from staying on Naxos at Agios Prokopios beach, and Ios just didn’t compare. The next day we chose to get the bus to the nearest nice beach, bit of a hassle to have to travel to reach a decent beach, but it was worth it. It still wasn’t as nice as Naxos. We realised we had been spoilt in Naxos, and that it is imperative to book accommodation by a stunning beach (I mean you are travelling all the way to the Greek Islands after all!) The hotel’s restaurant was great though, we ordered their largest pizzas (apx 20euros for a 50cm) and they were definitely big! The sun loungers around the pool are comfy and the pool is nice and deep. Wifi is terrible, ultra slow. There is a minimart in short walking distance and you have a fridge in your room, so no need to pay hotel-bar prices for soft drinks and beers. I truly felt that Ios did not offer what Naxos did, and I wished we had given it a miss. Ios is well known for its nightlife, maybe not its overall beauty as an island. Depending on what you’re looking for it may be perfect. But for us, we were looking for idyllic beaches and swimming. The hotel’s staff were nice enough, and we did have a pleasant stay. Just wouldn’t write home about it in a hurry based on the standard of the beach and the mix up with the room.

“Corali, nice place to stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011

people found this review helpful

This is a nice family hotel, the hospitality is very good and the swimming pool is great. The position on the port bay is charming and romantic. Having breakfast on the bay is really nice! The hotel is far from the village (10 minutes by motorscooter) and for this reason is quite. Our room was not very nice, the air conditioning was noisy, but it was in any case fine as we were out all day long. I would suggest this hotel even if our room wasn't nice at all...

“Terrific location with friendly service!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

We stayed for four nights in late September on our island hopping trip and were very impressed with this hotel. It is very attractive, and the lush gardens maintained in Greek temperatures to great effect. A huge swimming pool, with lots of elegand comfortable seating, and yet only five steps away from a gorgeous golden beach with free sunloungers and wondeful swimming. The location is perfect, just five minutes from the ferry arrival point yet near a wide choice of good tavernas and bars. This island is apparently a real party place in season, but for us, the best part was the peace and quiet of end of season. The owners are to be congratulated on maintaining their standards and enthusiasm right to the end! Go and visit soon.....

“A fabulous beachside hotel.............”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

person found this review helpful

I have been going back to this hotel for a number of years and look forward to using it again in years to come.
It is situated on a beautiful sandy beach (they have their own free loungers and brollies) and within a very easy walk of the pretty harbour.
The rooms are very pleasant and the staff very friendly and helpful.
The well designed relaxing outside bar, dining area and fabulous pool have been added in the last few years making this an absolute winner.

“Awesome location and pool!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

We stayed at Hotel Corali for two nights in August 2010 and had a lovely time. The best thing about the hotel for us was the location. We weren't interested in being up until 4am partying with younger kids, so we were very glad that the hotel was down by the port - which still had plenty of dining, drinking and shopping options, but seemed a bit quieter than if we stayed up in the village of Ios.

The hotel had a great pool, restaurant and bar area. Our room was great as well. Typical of Ios, we couldn't flush toilet paper down the toilet, so our room, the hotel and other parts of Ios had a distinct sort of smell.... but it wasn't too noticeable most of the time.

The restaurant and bar prices at the hotel were reasonable, and the cocktails were really good, especially the lemon mojito. Pizza is their specialty, and for good reason. We ended up eating at the hotel a lot but there were other options nearby. The breakfast was included in the price, and was pretty average.

The best thing about the hotel is its location. The beach is right across the road, and the sunbeds and umbrellas are free to guests. We didnt swim there very often though, because the pool area was so amazing. Overall, Ios is an amazing island and we would recommend and stay at Hotel Corali again!
