VALENA MARE

Nikolas & Co sind extrem freundliche, umgängliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Valena Mare ist eine kleine Oase und nur ein paar Gehminuten vom Strand Plaka entfernt. Unser Zimmer war sehr sauber, gemütlich und schön eingerichtet. Wunderschöner Poolbereich. Wir können dieses kleine Paradies uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Αυτό το ξενοδοχείο είναι το καταλληλότερο για διακοπές! Η θέα υπέροχη. Η απόσταση για να φτάσεις στη θάλασσα αγγίζει τα 5 λεπτά. Η πισίνα κατάλληλη για κολύμπι, τα δωμάτια πεντακάθαρα. Η εξυπηρετικότητα του Νίκου και της Μαρίας είναι φανταστική. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!!!

I have so many positives to say about Valena Mare apartments and the area as a whole, that I don't know where to begin! Nikolas is an absolute gem of a man and he made our experience here 10/10. He gave us his Whatsapp number and he goes out of his way to help you and ensure you're having a great time. Mari was also incredibly friendly and kind throughout our stay. We stayed in one of the smaller cheaper rooms but even so it had nice decor and I can't really fault it. The pool area is beautiful and you feel as though you're in the Caribbean. The breakfast is delicious - you pick what you want each evening and they bring it out to you freshly made. And on our final night Nikolas had some friends over and invited us to have drinks with them in the bar which was a great way to end our stay in Naxos.

We chose these apartments as we wanted somewhere more quiet and peaceful to stay following a few days in Mykonos and it is a little difficult to travel around without a car or bike, but Nikolas lent us some bicycles and we found this more than adequate to travel to surrounding beaches such as Agios Prokopios, Agios Anna and Mikri Vigla. The beaches and sunsets in this area are some of the best i've seen and I couldn't recommend this area enough for a relaxing break.

I am a really demanding guest. Mery and Nikolas made the imposible to satisfy my and they got it. From the advices, the late checkout, cleaning, silence and darkness to rest during nights. The pristine and delicated room... everything worked

During our trip in June 2023, we had the pleasure of staying at Valena Mare Hotel in Naxos, Greece. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, Nikolas, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.

The hotel's location was absolutely fantastic, situated near all the beautiful beaches in Plaka. A short walk led us to a gorgeous beach, where we spent countless hours enjoying the sun, sand, and crystal-clear waters. We were also delighted to discover that we could even walk to ride horses on the beach from the hotel. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to Naxos Town or Chora was a great advantage. It only took a short drive to immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the town, exploring its charming streets and enjoying the local culture.

One of the highlights of our stay was the made-to-order breakfast that Nikolas prepared for us each morning. Each afternoon/evening we would fill out a paper that had all of the breakfast choices on it - we could choose as much as we liked! (Pro tip: always get the special treat/dessert!) It was so nice to wake up and not have to think about what we were going to get for breakfast and Nikolas' culinary skills were truly impressive.

I must also mention the wonderful housekeeper, Maria, who was an absolute gem. Not only did she keep our room immaculately clean every day, but her cheerful and kind demeanor made our stay even more enjoyable. She went out of her way to interact with our kids, playing with them and even surprising them with little treats. Maria's warm presence added an extra touch of joy to our vacation.

The resort itself was a paradise. One of our favorite activities was sitting out by the pool/bar at night, mingling with other guests from all over the world. It was a truly multicultural experience, as we engaged in fascinating conversations and exchanged opinions and experiences. The sense of community and camaraderie created by Nikolas and the guests was something we will cherish forever.

The grounds of the hotel are gorgeous with so many beautiful flowers and trees! One of the most memorable experiences was picking lemons from the lemon tree on the property and making fresh squeezed lemonade. It was a simple yet delightful activity that added a touch of authenticity to our stay. We loved sharing our homemade lemonade with others at the resort - Maria said she was going to make it again and call it “Sarah” in honor of me!

Overall, Valena Mare Hotel in Naxos is a truly special place that we will always hold dear in our hearts. The impeccable service, the warm and welcoming staff, the multicultural experiences, the stunning beach, and the delightful activities easily accessible from the hotels location all contributed to a vacation that exceeded our expectations. We will certainly miss this magical place and sincerely hope to return soon for another unforgettable stay.
