We did the island hoping tour this past summer, and we found Naxos to be our favorite island of the bunch. Santorini and Mykonos were very touristy and expensive. A large part of why we enjoyed Naxos was due to the incredible hospitality we received at Hottel Grotta. The hotel truly has the warm feel of a family run place and was very nicely remodeled recently, with nice clean rooms. Th hotel is perched a top a hill with superb views of the ocean and the small town. Dimitris, the owner, went out of his way to be so kind to us. We had an issue with our Ferry being cancelled at the last minute and even though he had so much going on at the time, Dimitris went out of his way to find us some alternatives of getting on another ferry. I can't thank Dimitris enough for his kind hospitality. And the breakfast is amazing!

We were a group of 13 people who stayed at the Grotta for three nights in the beginning of Oct. We really enjoyed our hotel and thanked Trip Advisor for helping us choose. The manager gave us special info on arrival telling us what was worth seeing on the island. Therefore we took a daytrip with guide the next day, this is highly recommended by us. - The only thing we missed in the hotel, was a cosy place to gather and have our usual ozo when we got home at night. The bar was too much like the breakfast room (in fact it was the breakfast room)

My partner and I stayed here for two nights in between stays on Mykonos and Santorini. We walked to the hotel from the ferry terminal (not a long walk, depending on the amount of luggage you're carrying). When we arrived, the attractive woman that checked us in immediately treated us to a tasty cordial of Kitron, a local liqueur, and showed us some of the island's highlights on a map. The room itself was nice, and quite sizeable by European standards. We even had a patio outside our room, where we enjoyed some beautiful Naxian sunsets. Breakfast was yummy, and the wi-fi access was great for confirming travel schedules, etc. The owner insisted on giving us a ride back down to the ferry terminal on our last day, despite the fact that he had just walked in the door at 8am. Going into it, we weren't sure what to expect of Naxos, but this hotel helped make it one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended.

From the time of arrival (was met at the ferry and taken to hotel), until the time after departure, (kept our luggage for us while we repacked lighter for a short stay in Santorini and was coming back to Naxos), this hotel couldn't have been more accommodating. After arrival we had a sample of Kitron (local Naxos Liqueur) and then were shown to our rooms which were small but very clean and airy. The owners helped us rent a car, recommended restaurants and in general were very helpful and made us feel at home. The breakfast buffet overlooking the ocean was complete with many choicesas well as being delicious. The hotel was a short walking distance from the town. One afternoon when we came back to the room, a bottle of wine was left in our rooms. I would definitely recommend the Hotel Grotta and if ever I return to Naxos, wouldn't stay anywhere else.
