Excellent

A little bit of a hike out of town but if you want a relaxing beach-orientated stay, this is certainly the place to go.

So close to the beach! Breakfast was provided and one of the best breakfast spreads.

Superb location but was a little pricey for the room

Location was top, beside the plaka beach Staffs were really friendly Vibes were chill

Honestly I think they don’t ever clean the duvet , they give a bottom sheet like American style so I’m not sure what it was I was itching Bed wasn’t the most comfortable

The hosts were very friendly. It was a lovely stay.

I love the location of the property. It’s close enough to Naxos Town it’s easy to get a taxi. It’s far enough away it’s peaceful and quiet.

Great stay, very relaxing. Fabulous staff. Excellent value for money.

The staff were lovely and kind. Nothing was a problem. The location was excellent, it was right on the beach and lots of restaurants are in walking distance. Sunsets are gorgeous. It is very laid back and comfortable.

Relaxing Stay by the Beach 🏖️

Great location right on the beach in Plaka. Breakfast by the pool was lovely, and the whole area is full of nice restaurants and bars within walking distance. The check-in was smooth, and the atmosphere relaxed. A really nice place to stay.

All was good 😊

What a wonderful place for our baby moon. We had such a magical time here

The location is really excellent you’re 1 minute from the beach. The food was really good and fresh, the salads in particular so good. The bed was comfortable. The beach is lovely. Staff is kind, and friendly. You do pay for the hotels sunbeds but they are a fraction of what the other places charge.

Could be a bit cleaner, old squashed mozzies on the walls weren’t touched. More sunbeds around the pool are needed I think. You probably need a form of transportation but tbh we could have just stayed at the hotel all week and been happy.

Very good location, friendly family business and modern rooms

I really liked the location, it is right near the Plaka beach - great spot, the rooms are a good size and they are comfortable. I enjoyed the bed, it was also comfortable. The room is very clean, aircon is new - everything was surprisingly very good. I arrived Tuesday night, Maria helped coordinate my arrival and assisted me with all of the directions to get from the port to the hotel. Maria also was very good with giving me information about what to do on the island and made some phone calls for me to get some information about how I can get to the different beaches. She was very caring and warm towards me. Also Joanna ( Ionna) makes very good coffee, I had iced coffee twice and it was the best I had in Greece. She was also very warm and friendly, she also showed me to my room and explained the time of breakfast etc

Breakfast was nice but coffee machine could be upgraded to something a little more premium/luxury. You can purchase coffee at the bar, otherwise the coffee they have is filtered coffee. I think for the price of the hotel, a good coffee machine that makes cappuccino would be ideal. I also think some more breakfast options would be nice, maybe some more salad, selection of cheese or more toast etc. Every hotel I travel to provides breakfast and so this one could be improved.

Would not stay again

We liked the pool area and close access to the beach.

We booked the budget economy room but it was worse than expected. We had no floor space to put our luggage so we’re constantly jumping over it. We had ants in our room, the bathroom was dirty in areas. We had no access to wifi in our room (the owner offered to hot spot us but this was not ideal). The breakfast was subpar

6.0 / 10.0

Good location, but the room and facilities fell far short of what was advertised

The only positive aspects of this hotel were its location and the fact that it is pet-friendly.

My partner and I booked what they advertised as their “best” room – with a terrace, jacuzzi, and sea view – but the reality was far from what the photos on their website suggest. The room is in serious need of renovation, the furniture was worn-out and dirty, and the jacuzzi was completely yellow and not suitable for use. The promotional images are highly misleading. We have travelled across Mykonos, Milos, Santorini, Paros, and Naxos, and in this price range, this hotel was by far the biggest disappointment. We only mentioned the issues upon checkout, as it was obvious that the situation could not be fixed – it was not a matter of a technical fault, but of overall wear and tear combined with deceptive advertising through heavily enhanced photos. We chose not to waste our holiday arguing, knowing they could not deliver what they promised. I am leaving this review to warn future guests to have realistic expectations about what they are booking.

Practical stay on a nice part of Plaka

Great location, directly on one of the nicer parts of Plaka beach. Nice pool area and good breakfast selection.

Rooms are very small. A combination for four has the bathroom sink in one of the bedrooms, so can be a bit complicated. OK for a family with children, but room arrangements and sizes would be complicated for four adults.

Overall, nothing impressive, slightly too expensive, but it is a three star hotel (should be two) so there’s not much to

Proximity to the beach and decent pool.

The hotel had no personality and was very boring. The staff were a bit anti-social except the girl who checked me in. On the third night my room wasn’t cleaned which was a bit disappointing.

Proximity to most beautiful beach! Staff were so helpful, attentive to our needs and we felt at home. We were happy to have a car, but saw the bus stops. The car made exploring and sightseeing easy but if tou just want a quiet beautiful peaceful place to stay, this is it! We will be back!

Terrible Experience at a Supposed 4-Star Hotel

I booked a room for 3 people, expecting the comfort and standards of a 4-star hotel. What we got instead was a nightmare. The third person in our group had to leave early because instead of a proper bed, they were given a sofa with an incredibly hard mattress — honestly, the floor would have been more comfortable. After they left, the hotel stopped bringing us towels for the extra person, even though we had already paid for the room. The minute we entered the room, we wanted to leave, but the owner refused to give us a full refund. To top it off, the room was filthy! There were spiders on the ceiling, black stains near the bed, and a general lack of cleanliness. When I brought this up with the receptionist, she brought me the cleaner there (who is the owner), I was met with sarcasm. Her response to the dirty walls? "What do you want me to do, ask the painter to paint it?" Truly unprofessional. The bathroom was another disaster. As seen in the photos, the handle was falling apart, and the room had a grimy feeling, with dirt accumulating in the corners of the floor. It was completely unacceptable for the price we paid. I uploaded more pictures here as well showing the terrible situation of the room. I wish I was able to upload more than the 4 pictures that this review allows, to show you how bad this was… Breakfast was no better. We found flies inside the bread, which I immediately pointed out. The response? "Yes, that's reasonable." I was horrified and refused to eat anything after that. The hotel doesn't even have a proper reception — just a small booth with a woman who answers calls or receptionist. This place is a scam and far from a 4-star establishment. The only thing I regret is not leaving immediately. Save yourself the stress and disappointment — stay anywhere else but here.

Motel level room for €240/night

Located in front of Plaka beach. This is however not enough for the exorbitant price.

We booked our stay for the Economy Room and paid €240 per night for 6 nights. When we arrived we were shown to a small room located in the very back, which appears to be a former washroom or storage room converted into a small room. We discovered a drain under the bed indicating the above. The room fair price is €50-70/night for maybe an urgent situation. Outside the room is a messy area where the cleaners hang the bedsheets for drying. The twin bed could only fit in the room by leaning against one of the walls. The room had no outside area or balcony. No clothes drying line and even when we asked for one it was forgotten and I had to borrow from another room. Some minor dust on the top of the closet. One of its two doors was stuck and wouldn’t open. We expressed our disappointment on day 2 and we were taken to another room for 2 nights. The other room fair price maybe ~€120/n but a bit more decent than the other. The owners seemed not surprised by the complaint and had the answer ready (which shows knowledge of the price vs quality issue). By the way, we spotted a couple of visitors using the room in the 2 days we were temporarily taken to the better room. This tells me they sold the room again during those two days! (or even worse, maybe they screwed the other folks for two days, to appease us). Basic breakfast (I wouldn’t worry too much if the rest was good). The owners (a local family from what it seems) know they are overpricing. Overall a scammy pricing for a motel type room.

A little piece of heaven on earth

The beachside location was fantastic. The breakfast was delicious at the poolside. The accommodation was perfect for a family of 4. Close to the bus stop to get into Naxos Chora. Walking distance to delicious tavernas. Everyone working at Golden Sands was super friendly and helpful. The staff went out of their way to help us celebrate a special birthday. Would have loved to have stayed longer.

I would not stay here again if it were free.

The only thing I liked about this property is that it’s on Plaka Beach.

The rooms are dingy, the lighting is terrible. The beds are uncomfortable. The linens are very thin and the “beach” towels are quite questionable. The pool had very limited seating and there was a creepy older man (part of staff?) sitting there most days just staring. It was very uncomfortable. The dim bathroom light turned off intermittently. There is no beach access.

Perfection.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in May for my birthday. It was an absolute dream, beautiful room, clean, light spacious with a charming private balcony. A wonderful team, great fresh and local breakfasts and only a minute from the beach where you can enjoy the natural beauty of Naxos at its purest and most glorious. Can highly recommend this hotel.

Fake advertisement - the worst experience ever

Nothing

we’ve booked our stay in Naxos in this hotel trusting in the photos shows on Booking.com and here attached. The room and hotel looked nice and new. We arrived at the hotel and the receptionist was a young girl who didn’t speak any lenguage except greek. The hotel has apperead immediatly old and different considering the photos sohows on Booking.com. Anyway, we got the room and it was the worst surprise ever. The room was terrible and totaly different comparing that one booked by Booking.com (have a look the real photos of the room here attached). We immediatly asked to spik with the manager who said there were no more rooms available so we booked a diferent hotel by Booking.com asking a refound by Booking. After few minutes we got a call from the owner who was super rude and said we were lier because the room was the same the one shows on Booking.com (please have a look to the photos here attached and judge by yoursel). Morover, the owner said: “if you book a different hotel you will lose money because I will not accept the refound request”. Infact, she has not accepted our refound request, so we have to start legal action to get back our money. We don’t know if we will get back our money, in meantime I am writing this review to avoid other people to fall in trap with this fake advertisinent. That’s the worst experience we have ever had.

Amazing. Fantastic location, beautiful beach, great places to eat and great service

Loved the location and beautiful room. The bed was so comfortable

The beach loungers are a separate business so although hotel guests get a reduced rate, you have to reserve or may not get one and you need to factor the additional cost in to your holiday budget.

Not terrible but a long way from paradise. Quite expensive considering the average quality. Staff worked hard which was

Generally tidy site, room layout suitable for 4 persons, flexible reception considering our late checkin, cleaners helpful, good breakfast buffet. Next to good section of beach. Swimming pool is pretty good.

Strong smell of sewage in the bathrooms although this was coming from the drains so is not necessarily the hotels fault. Hotel is fairly remote in its location on Plaka beach meaning you need a car, bike or bus to get to restaurants or better supermarkets. I didn’t eat at the restaurant as it seemed expensive although other customers seemed happy. Overall, the price of the accommodation didn’t reflect its quality which felt a little outdated in a poor location next to a dusty rubbish strewn track, defiantly not as idyllic as the photos suggest.

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

We liked the location very much, because it's next to the beach that is not as crowded as the ones closer to the town of Naxos. The room was cozy, the terrace was nice and the bathroom as well. The staff was very friendly.

The breakfast is ok, but the scrambled eggs were cold all the time :( and it is kind of the same every day. There was sand on our floor in our room when we arrived. The breakfast area looks a bit old and needs some renovation. The guests also need to pay for the sunbeds :( the sunbeds of the more expensive hotel next to it are nicer and less expensive!

A wonderful place to spend a week with our teenage daughter!! Thx!!

Super-friendly staff - the reception & especially the bar/restaurant staff were polite, helpsome & fast with the orders. You need to try the Banana Daquari or the Aperol Spritz with pink grape. Big portions of food - very tasty & a very good breakfast. Super-close to the Suthern part og Plaka Beach, very Nice Beach with Yellow sand. Close to nearest busstop.

Sunbeds at the Beach right next to the hotel were not free for the hotel guests - but at least they gave a discount - and you could just stay for free by the pool & then take a dip in the Ocean once in a while :-)

Terrine property. The bed was so rock hard and so old the room was tiny and dates old very old.

The pool was good.

The room was tiny the bed was as hard as a brick. They should have got rid of that bed in the 1800’s The air conditioner barely worked. The shower didn’t work properly couldn’t wash my hair. The breakfast was so basic and very ordinary. I would not recommend this property for your stay. The pool was clean and that’s the only positive. The meals were very expensive and the food was not worth the money. Do yourself a favour and give this hotel a miss.

Beautiful beach

Many positives about this hotel. Location on the beach was great. Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly (helped us book a taxi and rent a car). Breakfast was good. Rooms were clean (a little small), beds were comfy. We took a taxi to the hotel but we learned later we could have taken a bus (the bus has a separate space for luggage). We ate at the restaurant a few times - it is a little pricy but portions were big (you could easily split). There is a mini market within 3 min walk and many cool restaurants a little farther.

Music at the restaurant was too loud. I would recommend to them to at least turn it down and perhaps in the morning change it to a more spa like tune - not techno.

The proximity to Plaka beach, the staff, the room facilities, the included breakfast was awesome with traditional Naxian food included, free parking for our rental car. The value for money is really good for the accommodation. The frozen cocktails are brilliant.

Not much really. The concept of paying money to hire sun lounges and umbrellas is something I'm not comfortable with. The price for food and drinks is a little more expensive than other places nearby, however happy to support our hosts with low accommodation prices and great staff.
