Ammothines Cycladic Suites

We recently visited Naxos for the first time and decided to stay at Ammothines based on reviews. Wanted a place with great swimmable beach, beautiful views, nice pool, chill, and not too touristy or crowded. We are a family of 5 and they have great suites for family - 2 bedrooms and a twin bed, worked great for us. Ammothines was as promised. Really beautiful location, not too far from town or other great beaches, and yet a bit off the beaten path. Really nice not crowded beach. Rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Only areas for improvement: 1) food quality. bkfast was included in our rate, but limited menu and lower quality vs other places we stayed on the this trip. We also ordered lunch by the pool one day, the fam thought it was the worst meal we had in Greece :(. 2) fitness room has a policy of only one guest at a time which is a little inconvenient. Possibly b/c they have weights and a rowing machine, but no other cardio equipment... maybe also an oppty for improvement. that said, would definitely consider staying again - really nice staff!

My husband and I just completed our honeymoon at Ammothines Cycladic Suites. It was absolutely wonderful. The rooms are so beautiful and comfortable, the staff are so accommodating and kind, and the spaces are simply beautiful. The pictures online do not do the space justice. Every area is impeccably and thoughtfully designed. I’ve been to Naxos before but previously stayed at an Airbnb, and this time we wanted to stay in nicer accommodations. One thing that the reviews and website do not make clear is that the hotel restaurant is AMAZING. One of the best restaurants in Naxos. To be clear, it is not a traditional taverna, and has a more modern take on Greek food. Every day my husband would say: “ is it ok if we eat at the hotel for dinner?” I made sure we ventured out elsewhere but I was happy to dine at the restaurant too! Finally, the cabanas on the beach are so comfortable. The hotel is situated right across the road from Plaka beach, so it’s very convenient. I’m so glad we picked Ammothines and we can’t wait to come back.

Stay somewhere else. We just stayed there for 3 nights because it was highly listed on the recommended lists. What they don’t tell you in those lists are the details. I give this property a 2 star rating strictly because the property is just beautiful and rates a 4/5. But while the rooms are beautiful they lack the luxury items that should come at the price you pay for staying there. The rooms lack place to put your luggage (no tacks provided), the toiletry products are basic not luxury company such as Diptique. It says your breakfast is included and it is but it is truly just basic - there is no breakfast buffet - you choose one item and they bring it to you and not always at the same time. Service is slow, coffee gets cold, nothing is in synch. Breakfast starts at 8 am because there is no one who shows up for work till then. Lunch options are good. Service is really poor - there was no one at the reception when we arrived and when we were leaving. They had to call someone to show up. Reception area is bare. Receptionists are not very welcoming nor are the owners who see you but do not say hello. They really do not know the meaning of hospitality here. Parking is available but tight and it is advisable to not to bring a larger car as you will not be able to park in those spots. Overall I do not recommend this place based on any selection criteria. Rating (based on scale of 5) 2 Overall Value for Money. 1 Room. 4 Food. 1 breakfast. 1 Lunch. 3 Service. 2 Recommend. NO Stay somewhere else - no need to pay these prices and fall below expectations in all categories.

Naxos is one of the more chill islands, and the Ammothines was a perfect place for our honeymoon stay. The facilities are new -- they opened in 2021, but the views, services, and location are wonderful if you want to wind down and relax as part of a trip to Greece. Odysseas was friendly even before I arrived. He helped setup transport from the airport, which in important because there are no Ubers on Naxos. Prearranged travel or car rental is the way to go. All the guests get a welcome drink when they arrive, and he let us check in a bit early and check out a bit late, which we appreciated. Their breakfast options are also very solid, and included, and they have beach chairs that are attached to the hotel but require a $5-per-person-per-day rental, but they are well worth it. Also, their poolside beds are really fun. In addition to standard beach chairs, they have what I can only describe as beach-mattresses that are so soft and waterproof that they lend themselves to a nice nap post meal or a swim. It's a family-run business and it really felt that way. We felt extremely welcomed and valued, and I would love to come back here someday. The grounds are very pretty with flowers and shrubbery everywhere.
