Marine Dream

The hotel is close to the port of the island as it is located on Plaka beach. The sea is a 2 minute walk if you want to swim. It is literally on your feet! Our room was extremely clean, organized and cooking friendly as it had good kitchen equipment. The staff was helpful and nice and they gave us the right instructions on how to experience the island the best way possible. We also had breakfast in the hotel which is totally worth it, because we had many (mostly healthy) options. Overall the place is beautiful, peaceful and comfortable.

Very nice location, near the sea ! The room was very clean ! The staff were helpful and cheerful ! Also the breakfast was amazing, lot of options to choose ! Overall it was a very pleasant experience! Definitely recommend !!!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast made out of fresh local ingredients (the banana bread was delicious!). Comfortable and clean rooms. Very close to the beach, which enables early morning and also late night swimming. Would definitely recommend!

The hotel was extremely clean, the staff were friendly and very helpful. Rooms were lovely and immaculate. Breakfast was great too. The location is the best in the island ,near the plaka beach. I highly recommend it for your stay in Naxos.

We booked a sea view studio directly through the website. First the positive : - spacious studio, nice bed - Nice terasse with good sea view (even though the parking in front of the hotel ruins a bit the view..) - Very close to a very nice beach which is not crowded Then, the negative (be prepared) : - terrible checkout experience : the owner literally came to our door at 11 am to kick us out of the room because the next customer was already here and she didn’t want to make him wait until 3 pm (real check in time) for some reason. Yet, there is no information about check out time in the room, in the reception, on the website.. no specific hour is indicated anywhere, let alone 11:00 am checkout. After asking, she accepted to extend until 12:00, but then got very angry and yelled at me as if I was asking for something very special. Then my wife got angry and we decided to leave the place immediately. I had never seen that before in 30 years of traveling ! I asked the owner where the checkout times are mentioned and she said look at the website. I looked and found nothing. The lady was actually lying. Later, she recognized her mistake and said she would print the checkin / checkout hours to be displayed clearly. But it was too late. - Second : When I checked the website to find checkout hours, I was surprise to read that the hotel offered free breakfast if you book with them directly (which we did). However, when we checked in, the lady told us breakfast is an additional 8€/person/day. When I asked them about this, they recognized their mistake. They had 3 opportunities to correct this, when they saw us in the morning asking for water they could have said « hey, did you know you have breakfast ? ». Yet they remained silent, probably happy to make extra money on us. So not only they kicked us out, but they robbed their customers.. very bad and dishonest again. - Third : I also discovered in their website that they offer free airport / port to hotel transfer. However when I asked them the day before I arrived, they said there is no transfer included and I have to take a taxi or bus to come to the hotel. They said maybe they can pick us up at the closest bus station but that’s all. When I asked them about this, they recognized their mistake, again, for the 3rd time. So after confronting them with those 3 misbehaviors, I asked if they understood why I was very disappointed and felt robbed. They said yes. I asked what they could offer us to make up for that, for exemple a discount of the value of the breakfast at least. They said they couldn’t give us any discount as we have already paid (what a joke…). And they didn’t have any cash either (can it get any worse ?). They only offered us to give us fruits or water, which we couldn’t carry with us and actually didn’t want. Then I asked if they, as hotel owners, felt OK with all this. They said yes. I said OK. Of course I absolutely don’t recommend this hotel.

located at the very end of Plaka Beach ,nice very quiet beach across the road . No sun beds or cafe etc ,for those it is a 10 minute walk . Plaka beach road is a long sandy track ,we needed a car (40 euro a day )to get to a wider range of restaurants than the few local to Marine Dream . The quiet and isolated nature meant that a few alcohol drinks was not going to attract police attention .Hotel is relatively new and rooms are fine ,we had a sea view ,some of the studios would look on to other hotel buildings . Breakfast is charged extra and was fine .
