点评:We really wanted to like this place, and we booked it despite all of the bad reviews. I will say many of them are unwarranted: this is a nice place to stay -- even though it was really expensive in high season, but what're you gonna do? -- and the people are kind, but what's really lacking is the level of service and communication for the money you pay.
First, we were assured this hotel was adults-only. We even emailed the hotel when we booked in January 2023 to confirm that it was. They guaranteed it. Yet, when we arrived, there was a small, loud child in the room next door. We immediately alerted the staff; nothing was done. We said something again upon our departure, nothing was done. We complained when we returned stateside; nothing was done and the hotel went completely radio silent. We are now a month out from our trip, and they have yet to reply even to IHG Hotels or Mr. & Mrs. Smith Hotels (who we booked through and lodged a formal complaint). They quite literally just stopped responding, which, if you read many of the other reviews for this property, looks to be a pattern. It has gotten to a point now that we've put it into the hands of our credit card company as a disputed charge for advertised services not being rendered, because absolutely no one at the property is willing to address our communications.
The location is quite lovely, at the far end of Plaka, away from some of the noisier spots, but still within walking distance to many great restaurants -- and the KTEL public transit picks up almost right in front of the hotel, taking you to Naxos town within a half hour. It's true that there's no front desk, and you check in/out at the bar -- but that's not so unusual these days for boutique hotels (Moxy Hotels make a whole schtick out of it). But there's a difference here: they don't talk to each other. So, the right hand never knows what the left hand is doing. It seems that the Naxian Collection hotel in Naxos Town is the sister hotel, so they handle all corporate matters through their front desk, but no one answered the phone or email there either.
We loved the little dipping pool on our balcony. Many people complain about it because it's not a hot tub, but they don't advertise it as a hot tub. It's a refreshing plunge pool with jets that was perfect after a day at the beach.
So, in the end, it's really buyer beware at this spot. If you want to throw away $600/night with a screaming child next door after you're guaranteed it's an adults-only property, go for it. Just know that any complaint or expectation of service you have will fall on deaf ears.
If we didn't run into these issues and actually got what we expected for the price we paid, Naxian on the Beach would probably have gotten 4 stars. But it's one star for us, and a warning to all of you to be very careful before laying down this kind of cash for this place. And, whatever you do, do not pay in cash or debit card, lest you never see that money again. Using your credit card will protect you; we're so glad we did.
翻译:我们真的很想喜欢这个地方,尽管有很多不好的评论,我们还是预订了它。我会说其中许多都是没有根据的:这是一个住宿的好地方——尽管旺季的价格非常昂贵,但你会做什么呢? ——人们都很友善,但真正缺乏的是相对于你所付的钱来说的服务和沟通水平。
首先,我们确信这家酒店仅供成人入住。我们甚至在 2023 年 1 月预订时向酒店发送了电子邮件以确认确实如此。他们保证了。然而,当我们到达时,隔壁房间里有一个又小又吵的孩子。我们立即通知工作人员;什么也没做。离开时我们又说了些什么,但什么也没做。当我们回到美国时我们抱怨了;什么也没做,酒店里完全没有无线电。现在距离我们的旅行还有一个月了,他们甚至还没有回复 IHG 酒店或史密斯夫妇酒店(我们通过他们预订并提出了正式投诉)。他们实际上只是停止响应,如果您阅读了该酒店的许多其他评论,这似乎是一种模式。现在已经到了这样的地步,我们已经把它交给我们的信用卡公司,作为未提供广告服务的有争议的费用,因为酒店里绝对没有人愿意处理我们的通信。
位置非常好,位于普拉卡的尽头,远离一些较吵闹的地方,但步行即可到达许多很棒的餐厅 - KTEL 公共交通几乎就在酒店前面,可带您前往半小时内到达纳克索斯镇。确实,这里没有前台,您需要在酒吧办理入住/退房手续——但这对于如今的精品酒店来说并不罕见(Moxy Hotels 就利用了这一点)。但这里有一个区别:他们不互相交谈。所以,右手永远不知道左手在做什么。纳克索斯镇的Naxian Collection酒店似乎是姐妹酒店,所以他们通过前台处理所有公司事务,但那里也没有人接听电话或电子邮件。
我们喜欢阳台上的小泳池。很多人抱怨它不是热水浴缸,但他们并没有宣传它是热水浴缸。这是一个令人耳目一新的小型游泳池,配有喷射装置,在海滩度过一天后非常适合。
所以,最后,买家在这个地方真的要小心。如果你在保证这是一家仅限成人入住的酒店后,又想花掉每晚 600 美元的费用,和隔壁尖叫的孩子在一起,那就去吧。只是要知道,您对服务的任何投诉或期望都会被置若罔闻。
如果我们没有遇到这些问题,并且实际上得到了我们所期望的价格,那么海滩上的纳贤可能会获得 4 星。但这对我们来说是一颗星,并警告你们所有人在为这个地方投入此类现金之前要非常小心。而且,无论您做什么,都不要用现金或借记卡支付,以免您再也看不到这笔钱。使用信用卡可以保护您;我们很高兴我们做到了。
