UNAHOTELS Naxos Beach Sicilia

Very nice resort property. Stayed last week for a couple of days- shoulder season. Staff friendly, courteous. Had breakfast and dinner twice at the property, variety of tasty options, enough to cover different dietary preferences. Parking available. Nice pebbly beach. Rooms are updated, modern and spacious, only issue is the bathrooms. In all three rooms we booked they were original (from 20yrs ago), aging poorly with shower drainage issues. Close to the highway if you drive, but the Lidl grocery store is 15mins away by car if you need anything more for your kids etc.. Altogether a nice stay, property was not full at time of our stay, so very quiet, modern and spacious rooms, but place shows age in bathrooms, hallway carpets and some decor. I would stay again.

So the resort was great. It is definitely a resort, not just a hotel. Location: it's a 25 minute drive to Taormina, where the great restaurants and shops are. We found a parking lot and parked every day for 6 euros until midnight. Staying in Taormina with a car is a non-starter. I don't know if the hotel has a shuttle into town. The town of Naxos also has dining that is walkable from the hotel. Hotel: There was live music every day. Free parking. Tennis courts and pools. Multiple bars and restaurants. It was a lively place, though it skews older and attracts the tour bus set. There is an attached beach with hundreds of loungers that can be reserved (or sat on until the reservers come). The downside is that it is a pebble beach, not a sand beach. So no walking without sandals. The grounds are gorgeous. It feels like the Caribbean with all of the palm trees. The hotel is on the way to Catania (do not stay in Catania if you can help it, ESPECIALLY with a car. It's a slum and I've never seen such awful driving) and Syracuse if you want to do day trips like we did. Tolls between Naxos and Catania are under 2 euros. The room was comfy, but they use those dual single beds to create a queen and I fell in-between them once. I don't know how these still exist. The place is very clean. I definitely recommend the Unahotel Naxos. And when I return to the region, as I am sure to do, I would make it a point to try to stay here again.

Nice large resort located on the beach with two pools and a beach club. while we didn't use the pool, we did use the beach club all day and loved it.! very friendly service and great location will definitely stay again if in the area. For the value this was an excellent stay. It also has entertainment, so it feels like a cruise ship a little bit.

Service was excellent!! Resort needs a complete renovation. Breakfast buffet was horrible. You need to pay 1.50 for each beach towel

Large rooms, great access to beach, breakfast buffet was excellent with wide choice. Downside was loud music during the afternoon and in evenings/night which could be heard clearly in bedroom in main building.

It is a lovely hotel, very relaxing, nice local town. Gym needed aircon as it made it unusable in the heat. Otherwise great!!

Bathrooms need a renovation desperately. Grounds were nice, pools were lovely. Beach was just ok - no sand, just stones and shells. Charging for beach chairs and umbrellas on top of day rate is in poor taste. Hotel is fairly far from Taormina. Had I known exactly how far, I would have booked elsewhere. My kids enjoyed it, however, because of the pool and the grounds. Next time, I'd book in the center of town in Taormina to avoid all of the back and forth to dinner/shopping/sightseeing. (We had no plans to do any of those in Giardini Naxos, so staying here was kind of a waste for us.)

Very noise in the late evening. Many people were still partying. One night was extremely difficult due to the fact that the whole hotel had no water and no electricity in a very hot summer. I lost a lot of sleep that night due to heat.

Very nice overall layout of the property, lots of trees (very green) and a huge Olympic pool. Rooms were OK but we had a lot of ants. Room cleaning repeatedly brought only 2 towels for 3 persons, which was annoying. Options for heated food in the standard restaurant (evening) were very limited, especially for young kids.
