We stayed for two nights in a nice decent-size room directly overlooking the pool. The pool is large and deep (not good for children who cannot swim) and was not crowded. Good location next to the beach and in the direction of Naxos town, easy walk from the chora and port. Lots of minimarkets, tavernas and cafes nearby. Hotel on a quiet side street. The price we paid was cheaper than other similar places (there are no so many hotels with pools close to city center), and it was good value for money.
Our accommodation was across the road from St George Beach, which was a great vista to wake up to every morning. This location made it easy to walk to the many restaurants and bars, tourist activities, and harbour. The apartment itself was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed for our three night stay and you can get your laundry done relatively cheap. Wifi in the room was not great but we got by. Great selection of food for the daily breakfast and Dimitri was a super host, very polite and accommodating.
The Valena Mare is located a little way from the main tourist area, so a car is almost essential. However, we opted not to have a car, so we walked along a track then the beach (a torch is needed). Most evenings we caught the bus, which runs every 30 minutes in high season, up and down the plaka beach area all the way into the chora. At just 2.30 euros a journey, it was comfortable, cheap and very efficient. The apartment was very quiet and the staff so friendly, helpful and attentive.
Great location to spend few nights in Naxos if you look for a budget option. Owner is very responsive and helpful. Spent two nights in there. Property is located within one kilometer from the port.
So clean, so comfortable, lovely staff (Mike, Anthony and Anthony) who know all the best recommendations. It really felt like a luxury hotel for such a cheap price. Air conditioning was amazing. I can't recommend this place enough! Great location
