Naxos Euphoria Suites

Room was quite unprepared during my stay. When we reached no one was at the apartment, there were no contact details. Luckily trip app offered free international call for us to contact the owner to unlock. 2 nights in around 10 degrees with no hot water to shower. we informed the owner, it got fixed for awhile but after showering our poor kid there was no more hot water for us. room was dusty and room service only folded the bedsheets every morning, rest of room remains unkept. the upside was free breakfast, though limited selection, was the highlight of our stay especially for the little one. she enjoyed the pancakes 🥞

We were late and somewhat lost trying to find the hotel but were very grateful for the phone call by the owner/manager who helped us find our way! Later we realised, we had actually passed the hotel but the signage is only visible when driving from the other way!! We never saw him again during our 4-night stay. Breakfast was ordered by WhatsApp and served in our room. It was OK but so often we needed to boil up our own water to make the tepid tea drinkable and add some warmth to the coffee. The room was quite small with a giant cave area with the bed built in. The bed was comfortable but we arrived during a cool spell, were cold overnight, and had to ask for a blanket for the rest of the stay, as well as an additional pillow. We would normally expect these to have been left in a cupboard in the room - as in other hotels. The other issue was the built-in ceiling lights within the 'cave' that twinkled all night long - no way of turning them off!! Grateful for a safe in the wardrobe – but it was not secured and could easily be picked up and taken from the room! The bathroom was tiny with a single rail - just room to hang 2 folded bath towels but nowhere to hang the hand towel. It was also just a hand-held shower which went from not quite warm water to cold water by the end of our stay - so only managing the briefest of washes. The 2nd night, we messaged (WhatsApp seeming to be the only way to communicate) to say that we could hear constant running water which continued throughout the night into the next day. When we also messaged the next morning that there was no hot water for a shower, the reply was "OK I will fix it". Of course, it wasn't fixed and the next night, for several hours, we heard the constant refilling of a water tank. So, to sleep we needed ear plugs (the water issue really did echo through our room) and eye masks to shut out those pesky ceiling lights!! On the day we left, I went to reception to hand in the keys to find it locked with no staff around. Again, a WhatsApp message to the staff came with the response to leave the keys in the door. And to add to our feeling of the hosts doing as little as possible at end of season, we later read on their website that guests are given a welcome drink and fruit on arrival! We just got a few unused single use sugar portions and a stained tea bag – presumably left by previous guests!
