Ippokampos Beachfront Hotel & Restaurant

Rooms are small but manageable. The view of St George Beach is amazing from the first floor up. Staff are great & very accommodating. Breakfasts are fantastic! There's a waitress (blonde) who is just superb, nothing is an issue. I loved staying here. A bit pricey but what a view. One star less because they don't provide coffee sachets in the rooms nor milk, only tea & it didn't taste nice.

Ippokampos Hotel is very nice for the view of the beach, but we had a very bad experience due to the shower which was broken and made it difficult to be able to have a shower. The shower handle did not attach to the fixture of the shower, we had difficulty showering. After complaining we had to struggle with the attendant for more than 1 hour which got us from being able to enjoy a commitment we had planned, plus the garbage bin was broken, which caused us to have to get our hands dirty instead of being able to open it with the foot lever. Our fridge did not chill our water properly and the furniture outside where there is a table had stains on the cushions and a dead cactus plant blocking an old and decadent door which was done so we would not have access to it. Overall the restaurant was good, had good breakfast and the food was decent when we ordered the first day that we came. The reception lady was not always very pleasant as she seemed bothered from when we brought issues to her attention and was not very patient when we asked for suggestions of what to see around the island. In the end we had a good time and enjoyed the beach very much, but we were really disappointed with the problems we encountered in the room. We asked for a partial refund but that was ignored, when I approached reception the next morning and asked about the incident, they said they where notified by management and did nothing else. Customer service is not very strong in Greece over all, anything you are dissatisfied with many times is ignored.

Don’t stay here unless you are happy to be stolen from!The good: Location is great - right on the beach and a short walk into the town.Staff in the bar are very friendly and understood my dietary requirements well. Beach is well-maintained. The bad:Check-in took 40 minutes as the receptionist had gone home for the evening. Rooms are extremely small (much smaller than the pictures!) this didn’t bother us as we were only staying for 3 nights but something to be aware of particularly if you are staying longer. On check-out the security deposit was refunded but another one was taken at the same time without my knowledge. We have contacted the hotel on several occasions and they are denying all knowledge - now having to go through Trip and Mastercard to recoup funds - avoid!

Restaurant - we had our best evening meal in Naxos sitting at the outside tables just by the best. Great service, really excellent food. The food is a great bridge between traditional Greek food and a slightly modern presentation, just delicious. And this was after three wonderful days at the beach bar! A really lovely option for dinner, highly recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ – Wonderful Stay at Ippokampos We stayed at Ippokampos in Naxos from August 14–18 and had a fantastic experience overall. From the moment we arrived earlier than expected, the reception staff welcomed us with a warm smile and immediately made us feel at home. The location is unbeatable—right across from the beach with stunning views and sunsets just steps from our room. Guests can rent beach chairs and umbrellas for €25/day (a nice discount compared to €45 for non-guests). The biggest drawback, however, was the constant stream of merchants coming by every half hour offering massages. This wasn’t just distracting—it was extremely annoying when all we wanted to do was relax by the sea. The included breakfast was a real highlight. I tried the Greek breakfast, which came with coffee, a hard-boiled egg, cheese, tomatoes, olives, fresh bread with butter and jam, fruit, and even rice pudding with cinnamon for dessert. I also sampled the “super breakfast,” with egg whites, veggies, peanut butter toast, dried apple bites, and more. Both were delicious, generous, and filling enough to carry me through until dinner. Our room was clean, comfortable, and airy, and I loved that I could simply crack the window to let in a cool breeze. What stood out most was the service—staff were never intrusive, but whenever we needed help, they were ready to go above and beyond. The only reason I’m giving 4.5 instead of 5 stars is because of two things: the strict rules about bringing outside snacks to the beach chairs (which I understand about tax inspections, but if you have a receipt), and the constant interruptions from beach merchants. That said, I would absolutely stay here again. The views, sunsets, location, and warm hospitality made it a memorable trip. Highly recommend Ippokampos for anyone visiting Naxos!

Fantastic holiday. We stayed in the family 2-room studio apartment (2 Adults + 2 young adults). Rooms quite basic but clean and very well serviced. Amazing double bed mattress. Felt very safe. Perfect location - 5 min wander to beachfront restaurant for fantastic breakfast (highly recommended) and very close to town and all amenities. Can’t praise the staff enough - George, Dina and especially Demitra who works tirelessly but always with a beautiful smile for breakfast and lunch every day - and made our holiday very special. Thank you.

We stayed for 3 nights in a first floor room with a terrace overlooking the beach. Daily breakfast was nice seated on the beach. The hotel gave 50% discount for beach chairs and umbrella's and the beach is decent with soft white sand and shallow water. The room was comfortable although they did not give coffee/ tea/water. The location is excellent with good restaurants nearby and being 15mins from town and the ferry terminal. Happy to recommend.

We had a great 2 nights at Ippokampos Beachfront. The welcoming staff were amazing. Friendly and very accommodating. We arrived at around noon and they had our room ready to check in. The room itself was nice and clean with all the needed amenities available. The only uncomfortable thing in the room was the position of the air conditioner; it was right in front of the bed and, no matter how much we tried, we couldn't deflect the air flow from the bed. We had to do without it during our stay. The other thing that led to scoring the service as GOOD rather than EXCELLENT was the service of the breakfast staff. The lady in charge was not very friendly verging on rude. As an overall evaluation, Ippokampos Beachfront is a lovely place that you should stay in despite the minor comments in my review. Thank you for making our stay pleasant.
