Naxos Island Escape Suites

This little hotel is excellent on every level. We stayed for almost 3 weeks in what I believe was an entry-level room. It had a huge bed, 2 day beds and an ensuite as well as a fridge and a balcony. There were 2 sets of tables and chairs, one in, one out. The sheets and towels are changed every day, I was very impressed with the cleaning. Breakfast is incredible, even though we were staying a long time we were never bored with it. Each day there are different home made goodies to enjoy. You will never be hungry staying here. The location is on the quiet end of Plaka beach, around 10 minutes walk from the end of the bus route to Chora and a small supermarket. The bus takes 40 minutes to reach Chora and costs 2.80 Euros. There are a lot of restaurants within a short walk; if you don't mind walking further there are dozens to choose from too. The beach is 2 mins walk from the hotel, you will be able to see the sea from your room. It is a long, sandy, shallow beach very good for swimming and sunbathing. You can choose to wear clothes on the beach or not, no one will care either way. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Naxos.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Island Escape Naxos, thanks to the one and only Marios. It was without doubt the best hotel and service we have ever experienced. Marios instantly made us feel so welcome and at home. He arranged our pickup from the airport so it was so easy and smooth arriving. My partner and I had just travelled all the way from New Zealand so we were quite exhausted and jet lagged. Thankfully, Marios kindly made us coffee, showed us around and gave us a quick lowdown on Naxos. The perfect amount of information we needed for one day. We had the time of our lives. The hotel is located just a minute walk from the most beautiful Plaka beach. It is pure magic. The sand is soft and doesn't stick to you, the ocean is like silk. The beach such a wonderful energy. We wanted to stay forever. We stayed for 8 nights in the first week of June, the weather was perfect. Blue sky and sunshine every day. Marios brought out the most wonderful breakfast every morning! The best coffee and most delicious homemade Greek pastries. As well as fresh bread, fruits, eggs (just how we like them), greek yoghurt and local honey. It was the perfect way to start our day. We had unlimited information, local tips and laughs from Marios. He was born to host!! We honestly miss staying there so much!! We had the most beautiful upgrade and stayed in the Executive Suite Sea view. It had everything we needed. So beautiful, welcoming, clean, open and comfortable. We had the best sleeps in the huge comfy bed. The aircon worked really well but we liked sleeping with the windows open with fresh air. The shower was funky and we loved the atmospheric lights in the room at night. We had enough storage and a safe to keep our valuables. The wine in the mini fridge was absolutely delicious. The balcony was spacious with a nice view. We loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings and evenings in the sunshine, listening to the birds and the waves. The hotel is nice and small so its super quiet and peaceful. Anyone we met were so friendly and kind. Even Marios' cat called 'Grumpy' haha. The hotel is walking distance to lots of cafes and restaurants. It was fun going to lots of different spots for lunch and dinner. One of our favourite restaurants down the road from Island Escape was called 'Petrino Beach Restaurant' The food was so delicious and the service was superb! We hired quads for 5 days and Marios gave us the best tips on where to visit around the island. We found the most beautiful private beaches. We were also so glad we took Marios advice and went into the town centre to do the walk up to the Apollo Temple for sunset one evening and cocktails to follow. We stayed for 8 nights altogether. We were so sad to leave. We wished we had booked a second week! It was such great value for money. We could not recommend this enough. I have already got my friends and family to get it booked! We will certainly be back.

Me and my new wife spent 2 days of our honeymoon here, and I have to say that Marios and his wife along with Markos were by far the best hosts I have ever had in my life. They gave so many great recommendations and were available at any time of the trip for questions. They almost make you feel like family with their hospitality and warmth. There isn’t much going on in the area so I would definitely get an atv to get around but this is the place to stay if you visit this island. Oh yeah and Marios’ mom cooks homemade breakfast for the guests and it is phenomenal!
