Iria Beach Art Hotel

We stayed at Iria Beach in August 2024.

In general we had a good stay, but "value for money" was just not at all ok. Compared to all other hotels we stayed at in Greece, this was at least 40% overpriced...

I booked the hotel inspired (or mislead ;)) by the fantastic reviews. And just to be clear: The stay was totally fine and we really liked the area, the beach and everything else. BUT if you charge like a 5 star hotel (>500€+/night), you also have to deliver a best-in-class experience.

For this kind of rate you should have up-to-date rooms with modern bathrooms, king-size-beds, new furniture, working "do not disturb"-signs (buy a hanger for the door if the ancient electronical solution doesn't work anymore), free-of-charge sunbeds on the beach (!), some privacy on the balcony, well-equipped gym, decent-sized security box, etc. -> all of that wasn't the case.

Again, it was totally fine, but I would not recommend to pay more than 250€-300€ in high season for this, otherwise you would just be able to find much better value for money in other places on Naxos and on other islands closeby.

At least that was our experience and I felt really foolish for paying so much, so I wanted to share it to make sure other vacationers come with the right expectation. Then I am sure you will have a lovely stay.

I also would have shared this directly with the very kind staff/management, but I wasn't asked how we liked the stay upon departure (apart from that they were very helpful!).
