We had an amazing stay at Sundunes Hotel. The property is so beautiful, peaceful and immaculately maintained. We stayed in a two-story suite with a private pool, and it was spotless, stylish and thoughtfully designed — very modern and still really comfortable. Nasos, the manager, was outstanding — kind, attentive and made us feel very welcome. All the staff were lovely, and the food & drinks were delicious. It’s a new hotel that gets everything right — steps from the beach, comfortable lounge chairs, huge pool, and gorgeous landscaping. We can’t wait to come back.

I can’t say enough about this beautiful hotel!! The staff is amazing! Always with smiles, so pleasant and will go the extra mile for you if need be. The rooftop is gorgeous with amazing views of the sunset. Wait staff and the goddess like hostess (sorry I forgot her name) was always attentive and quick with their delicious drinks!! Services are great! Our room was always clean and smelled fresh afterwards. Beach and pool towels always available. Their boutique is small, quaint and the owner or the woman who runs it is always with a beautiful smile. The beach is just a few steps away and they will go back and forth to get your drinks or food (of course you have to pay for that.. but so worth it!!! There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance on the beach. There’s a pharmacy just a 5 min walk from the hotel. You do need to call a car to get to and from the town of Naxos. We will definitely be returning!!!!

A PERFECT and peaceful stay on Naxos! The coastal location provides convenient access to many restaurants after a day spent at the beautiful beach steps from the hotel, Sundune’s beautiful pool or when returning from the day’s exploration! The amazing staff are extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming! The breakfast is delicious and varied and the apartments are beautifully designed and comfortable! The sunset views are stunning from the balcony! One of our very favorite stays! We can’t wait to visit again!!
