Kavuras Village

We had a pleasant stay here. I would rate it 3 stars, not 4 stars, it was very clean but not impressive or what I would expect for that rating. The pool is very beautiful with the sea view in the background. We did not spend a ton of time at the pool. The rooms were fine, but very outdated and basic amenities- giving a 2 star feel. Was bummed they didn’t have gluten free options available (outside of a salad). Didn’t think the location was as optimal as advertised- we should have done more research and Googled all the transit/etc. They do have a free shuttle to the beach every hour, but we wish we had just stayed at the beach or in Naxos city. Taxis to Naxos are expensive (25€ flat, 40 for a minibus in a big group). We tried the bus into Naxos, which is a 13 minute walk from the hotel and 2€, but it never came- we waited 45 minutes after it was supposed to come then hailed a taxi. Walking to the nearest town Plaka is a windy road/20 minute walk. We knew this when booking, but would be worth it to pay to be in Naxos or in a hotel 5 minutes from the beach. The hotel itself was also quite loud: you hear everything from your neighbors in the halls which was quite disruptive- even if your neighbors are quiet- each turn of the key can be heard. The staff was very very nice.

The wifi is nearly useless. The pool is pretty good and gives you nice vibes. Also, the breakfast is enough to keep you going for the rest of the day until dinner. We had some issues with the hot water in the shower but they fix it quickly.
