We didn't realise how infrequently the buses ran on the island (2-3 buses a day). We'd planned to catch a bus, but ended up renting a car.

This is a beautifully outdated hotel. Friendly owner. Right on the beach, the rooms have great views and balconies. Great breakfast every morning. Short little walk into town. Much less crowded than other areas on the island. Definitely pick this one!

Nothing

It was an old school hotel, had a rustic comfortable feel, unpretentious and perfect for us. Lovely family run business, relaxed atmosphere and good communication. Beautiful little beach bar run by one of the brothers Cristos, who made amazing cocktails. Delicious self serve buffet breakfast eaten on lovely outdoor area beside fields and flowers. Gorgeous sea view from our private balcony.

Having to leave

Best hotel experience we ever had, the beach right across is so nice, very quiet yet not boring, lovely village with very nice options. the Hotel had a very friendly/family vibe, we felt like we know everyone from day 1. We spent a week and wished we could stay longer, we met great people staying there, all the people who are managing the hotel are so lovely, especially Christos that we got really attached to, he’s managing the bar among other things, made us amazing cocktails and foods, a barbecue, we listened to great music he took us for a kayak toor, gave us great tips on places to visit, he knows so much history. We didn’t get bored a second there. One things for sure that we’ll go back

Nothing.

I have never stayed in a better or more relaxing hotel. The breakfasts were excellent, the location fantastic and the staff incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Over an hours drive from Naxos port

Right on the beach. Very close to a little village. Amazing staff and clean room

- Old hotel that has hardly been refurbished - No shampoo/body lotion on site - Doors and windows not noise-proofed and we can hear people in the corridor and the noise outdoor

- Amazing location with sea view - Homemade and generous breakfast - Many activities suggested by the hotel: kayak, paddle, bikes etc. Unfortunately everything is costly (same price as very touristic places in Naxos though we are in a less popular region..)

High rent for items, hotel bar is a bit pricey for the area

Location, Close to the Beach, Balcony, Hotel owner was very nice

Could have done with a new shower curtain & toilet seat in the bathroom - but a minor point!

Amazing location right next to the beach, you could hear the waves during the night. There's a beach that's more sheltered the other side of the cove too. Lovely restaurants nearby to enjoy dinner right by the sea. The breakfast was delicious and had lots of options. The hotel bar was a lovely addition to relax in the evening. The staff were friendly and relaxed and the whole place had very relaxing vibes.

The rooms are far from modern. That being said, at this cost and location can't expect miracles 😋

Great location near a rough but beautiful beach. Very nice atmosphere. Would have loved to stay here longer as plenty to do

The size of the bathroom, especially of the shower.

It's exactly as all the other reviews already described. Go to Kouros if you like to be in a place that seems to be far from any touristic activity and to enjoy the local life and the perfect location of the hotel, directly next to the beach. For us, it felt more like if we were staying at our grandparents then in a hotel. Not because of the age of the owners, but you step into a family life, where there is homemade breakfast waiting for you every morning & people around to help you/tell you what to do. The style of the hotel is really authentic and yes, here and there it deserves a bit of renovation (especially the bathroom/shower). But was it bothering? Not at all. We enjoyed our stay very much!

My own fault for not checking but the property is extremely far from the main port. It’s over an hour drive and if you miss the last bus of the day the taxis were quoting over 100 euros. Thankfully the owners helped us book a different taxi for 80. Still expensive but that’s taxis.

The owners were super helpful and friendly. They even helped us book a taxi from the port as we were unable to make calls ourselves. Super accomodating and a lovely breakfast included.

Quite far from the town

A little piece of heaven tucked away in a little village.

Delicious Greek breakfast. Eggs plus cuke tomato feta plus bread and jam plus yogurt fruit and honey plus oh and coffee Beach- superb sound of waves, not crowded, good natural spots under trees

We were the first (and only guests) of this 2023 Season and the weather was bit unkind to us, so we could not take full advantage of the open areas of the hotel and not all the local restaurants and bars were operational (nonetheless we did have a choice)

Owner was a very interesting person, with interesting friends. Breakfast was fine, Beach was not sandy except in limited spots but very close to the hotel garden, with its outside bar, games and seating / sunbathing area. A range of in water and hiking facilities was available on request. The hotel was close to the village, but sufficiently far so as to be away from traffic and noisy people especially the day trippers. Real Greek Island feeling, a little bit "jaded" - just the right amount with a kind of "Robinson Crusoe" Atmosphere. Lots of books, everywhere and great if you like jazz music, which we do. Rather large car park at rear - its a field!

Perfect location right on the beach, easy walking distance to the restaurants. Functional spacious rooms, most with direct seaview. Large wild garden in the back. Excellent breakfast.

Nothing, loved being very relaxed after a busy first half of the holiday. Some would find it too quiet but great for us.

Loved being right on the beach. Loved how friendly everyone in the little town was. Wild beach was fabulous. Perfect location to truly relax, read books and swim.

It suited us down to a t, but others might find it useful to hire a car if you want to explore the island as the town is fairly remote

Everyone there was amazing and really helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The view from the room was insane. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. We did the kayak trip and swam in the most beautiful clear waters. Honestly couldn't recommend enough

Stayed in September 2022

The great advantage of this location is that it sits directly on the beach! Loved that they had breakfast! Also loved the little bar outside for coffee or drinks. They were kind enough to send a shuttle to the port town to pick us up because finding a taxi can be quite difficult

This is a special place, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the local hospitality and nature. What the hotel lacks in amenities - the furnishings are quite dated, but functional and clean - it more than makes up in hospitality, tranquility and character. It sits on a quiet beach near the small village of Apollonas, perfect for disconnecting from the hustle of the real world and taking the time to engage with the beautiful nature. The seaside bar has with a large selection of books, drinks, music, conversation and advice; you can rent out kayaks or take one of the free bicycles, and explore the beautiful surroundings and beaches. Breakfast was good and you can also order a variety of great Greek specialties from the bar until 6PM.

The room and bathroom were tiny, but the balcony was excellent and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was sublime
