Ammothines Cycladic Suites

Ammothines Cycladic Suites is a jewel of a resort in a beautiful location. Their staff are all exceptional and friendly and provided first class service. Their owner, Odysseus, was present every day which added a personal touch. The hotel and grounds are a Cycladic marvel, designed and built by hand by Odysseus and his father, and they have created a beautiful resort. Their custom marblework is featured throughout and makes this hotel special. And their private beach is stunning. Their bar and food service, both by the pool and at their beach was exceptional and delicious. All stay we were taken care of by wonderful staff, especially Fotini, Aris and Georgia who are very kind and friendly. This is a 5 Star resort that we highly recommend! Paul + Jill

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming hotel. It offers a serene atmosphere, and the beautifully designed rooms and grounds truly enhance the experience. The pool was a standout feature, complete with large lounging beds. The restaurant exceeded our expectations with its delicious salads, scrumptious breakfast options, and fantastic cocktails. The beach is just a short stroll away, and we found the beach chairs to be so comfortable. While there’s a $15 daily fee for the chairs, this is quite standard for most Greek beaches, and we appreciated the attentive service available right on the beach. Overall, this hotel provided a lovely and convenient experience, equipped with everything we needed for a memorable stay. And prices were much more reasonable than anywhere else we stayed in Greece.

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.

This is an amazing hotel! it's was the best stop on our trip this week. We only had 2 days here but completely fell in love with the island and the hotel. Perfect location outside of town was 10 minute taxi trip into town. The beach was beautiful and only a few steps from the hotel and you had a member of staff to help take any bar orders. The food was great quality and fresh. The staff were brilliant so friendly, approachable and helpful. The hotel room was beautiful simplictic but calming and very clean. We really hope to come back here at some point.

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.

I am writing this review before even leaving the island of Naxos. My wife and I are fairly experienced travelers and we found our way to Ammothines towards the end of our ~17 day honeymoon tour of Italy and Greece. As we’re sitting here waiting for our ferry to our final location, we find ourselves regretting that we didn’t spend more of our vacation at Ammothines. When you visit Ammothines, expect to immediately be blown away by the elegance of the property, nestled into the eastern beachfront of Naxos with a sweeping vista of the Aegean Sea and neighboring islands. You will be greeted by some of the kindest staff you can imagine—Seriously, we wanted to hug everyone by the end of our stay. As we settled in and had a few conversations, we learned that we were staying in a hand-crafted, family owned, family operated luxury hotel, which made us appreciate the elegance and detail even more. The father and son (General Manager) of the family who own Ammothines are engineers, and they constructed every fine detail of this property by hand—from the beautiful marble light fixtures carefully placed around the property, the marble hand rails on display front and center of every suite’s balcony, the exquisite woodwork that perfectly compliments the rest of the warm and welcoming color palate—all built by hand. We felt like we were staying in an art exhibit. The very impressive detail goes beyond the design—the restaurant and kitchen staff were extremely friendly and the drinks and food were made with great attention and care. I was sitting on my balcony one evening and noticed the restaurant manager (sister of the GM) walk outside with scissors to snip fresh ingredients right from their beautiful landscape. They also grow grapes on their property that they make into traditional homemade Greek wine, which I highly recommend trying! The rooms were well kept with punctual housekeeping (managed by the mother of the GM), granting their guests the liberty to leave for the day worry free, and come back to fresh linens and a clean room. After a while, we recognized the same staff returning daily, passionately pouring their heart and souls into accommodating their guests, (and yes, this includes the owners). This hotel and staff epitomize the hardworking, hospitable, and proud Greek culture, and I’d recommend paying this magical place a visit. Us Americans can learn a thing or two from them. tldr; if you were to ask me to describe the perfect hotel in the perfect location with the perfect staff, my description would not have been nearly as perfect as Ammothines.
