Perfect beach getaway! Thank you for the hospitality! We loved the views, the water, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff in the office and restaurant... It was very easy to walk to shops, bars, restaurants... Our friends rented a car, and so we got to visit small towns on the island.... Just what we wanted to explore beach life in Greece. ; )

“Relaxing stay at Iria Beach!”

I only looked for accommodation on Naxos in January this year, by which time many hotels were booked out for June. I had difficulty deciding between a few of the hotels which did have availability but am very happy I ended up choosing the IRIA Beach Art Hotel for our 4 night stay. We were in room 60 which is a superior suite with a small balcony with partial ocean views. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The main thing we appreciated was the proximity of the hotel to the lovely Agia Anna beach. We also enjoyed the breakfasts - although I generally eat the same thing every day there was a lot of variety which I am sure others would appreciate. The hotel is nearby to many good restaurants - we ate at Ostria twice, Palatia several times and also Gorgona. Finally, the staff at Iria Beach were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again if returning to Naxos.

We really had a lovely stay at the Iria Beach Art Hotel. Everything was first class. Our room with the large balcony overlooking the beach was special and well worth the supplement. Breakfast was extensive and delicious and being able to eat outside in the court yard was a nice touch. Poppy and Maria were so friendly and always happy to help and give advice. The location on Agia Anna beach is superb with parking a mere 60 metres away. There are loads of restaurants close by many of which are on the boardwalk on the beach. Hopefully we can return to Naxos and stay at the Iria again.

“Such a shame”

We recently stayed 5 nights at Iria Beach Art Hotel, and we would not return. Location: if proximity to the beach is important to you, it’s literally steps from Agia Anna, which is a beautiful sandy beach with many restaurants and bars. However it’s quite a busy beach so worth noting noise levels can be disruptive at night especially if there’s a wedding going on. Also worth noting that the hotel doesn’t have a private area of beach with sunbeds, so if you want sunbeds you’ll be paying an extra €20 - €30 a day to hire them (although there are a few areas where you could put down towels on the sand). Rooms: we stayed in 2 different rooms and both were pleasant - stylish, comfortable and very clean, with espresso pod machines and adequate storage. Hotel website says toiletries are Korres, but that wasn’t the case. No hair conditioner or lotion is provided. Facilities: fine. There’s no pool obviously. The gym is small and basic but you can manage a workout. Food: breakfast is ok. It’s a buffet. There’s plenty of everything and it’s fresh. However for some reason there was never enough plates and you’d be standing around waiting for them to wash more. Just buy more plates! Also, the coffee is dreadful. It comes from a machine. Would be so much better if they invested in a proper espresso machine and served it fresh for you. Staff: welcome from reception staff was warm and helpful. The two ladies who run breakfast were not friendly and I don’t think cracked a smile once the whole time we were there. Housekeeping very good at their jobs and smiley. The main reason we wouldn’t recommend is due to an issue we had with our room one night. The safe started beeping super loudly, at sporadic intervals - obviously the batteries needed replacing. It kept us awake until about 5 in the morning when it finally gave up the ghost. We text the WhatsApp number we’d been provided with and got no response. In retrospect, we should have just called and maybe would have got a response then. However, my main complaint is the handling of the situation. We’d been kept awake almost all night and were offered nothing in the way of compensation or apology. Not even a bottle of wine. The only thing said was ‘you should have called’. Well, yes, but also you should keep on top of basic maintenance such as replacing safe batteries regularly. Left a bad taste in our mouths, especially given we were paying c. €300 for the privilege. We love Naxos but wouldn’t go back to this particular hotel.
