Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & Spa in Giardini-Naxos

Excellent hotel, large comfortable rooms, very good facilities. Lovely food, plentiful breakfasts. All staff were very helpful and polite, special mention to Maitre Andrea in the restaurant who went above and beyond to ensure that my Vegetarian diet was catered for and also ensured those who were Gluten free were catered for too.

This is not a 4 star hotel! The reception, bar and pool yes very nice but rooms are not 4 star. Money pinching hotel, no tea/coffee facilities in rooms, a coke is €6 The shower head flooded the bathroom, I got it replaced with a pipe shower with no holder, got it replaced and perfect!! But only to find out the following day after a bit of a clean, they took away the perfect shower head so now back to the limescale one. Now that’s money pinching at its finest. Poor electric sockets option so one phone charges in the bathroom. I got bored of asking for them to secure the balcony door (easy to get in) Breakfast is cake, cake and a small choice of fruit. Well done to the lovely cleaning ladies

Very nice Hotel with good rooms and facilities. Lacking a kettle in room for making Tea & coffee. Good location just couple of minutes from private beach. Nice 30 minute walk into Naxos, with lovely views, harbour and public beaches. Shower, no bath. Food very good in lovely large restaurant. Good sized deep pool and swim up bar, well staffed. Drinks a little expensive compared to other places in the area. Supermarkets nearby and lovely shops at good prices. Some music entertainment top quality musicians on Monday night.

We were staying at this hotel with family and thoroughly enjoyed the night there. The staff were excellent, very friendly knowledgeable and welcoming

Very good hotel. The staff and hotel manager were really friendly and helpful. The workout facilities are top notch and the pool was really nice.

We booked a 3-person room, which was of good size. The interior of the room and bathroom is pretty old. They still work with an old fashioned roomkey, so did not enter the digital era yet. Breakfast is not great and the breakfastroom looks like a 80's wedding-venue with huge tableclothes, chairs draped and staff in old-fashioned attire. The coffee from the buffet is the worst we ever had in Italy, and we even tried several options. Only when you order at your table, you get a decent coffee. For the pool/beach towels you have to pay, same for their beachbeds/umbrella. We once ordered a pizza at the pool, but it was very salty, loads of cheese and not tasty at all (16 Euro). Drinks at the bar are expensive: regular beer 7 Euro, Corona 12 Euro!, Aperol Spritz 12 Euro. Staff at the reception is very kind and helpful. The bar and reception have been refurbished, but the rooms for sure not. For 250 Euro/night (bed+breakfast) I believe it is overpriced especially since you have to pay for all "extra's" as well (towels, sunbed beach).

The hotel is perfectly clean but does need some modernising. The lobby/reception area/spa feels luxurious and modern but the room feels 80s and drab. The shower cubicle is tiny need to be a contortionist to shave legs in there and with a fixed shower head a sprays a mist of water washing hair is task. Unfortunately in our room the bathroom window which is behind the toilet is situated right where the neighbours table/chairs was so no privacy in bathroom because if you can hear their conversation they will hear you. Our light and lock in bathroom was broke when we arrived but light got fixed the next day but the bathroom lock remained broke. The door to the room and bathroom needs a double click to make sure they shut properly. Plenty of storage for clothes. Single Twin Beds comfortable for the most part. Rooms will be cleaned everyday if you wish or there is a sign to put on door if not. The window shutter contraption is on a pulley rope so unfortunately to get out the double doors you have to make a racket to sit outside room. The breakfast is basic but nice, food from the pool bar was great it is a large portion of food so the sandwiches /paninis/burger can be split between 2 - club sandwich and smash burger worth the €18. The drinks are on the more expensive side €4 small soft drink €7 bottle of messina - local lager or €9 for corona -€16 for a pina colada. All of which are charged to the room theres no option to pay as you go. Some staff make you sign receipt but you dont get a copy some do not, so i just kept a running total in phone notes. There are some shops local within walking distance and some restaurants our favourite close to the hotel was SIRE its a few minutes walk it is worth checking out- it is better than its trip advisor score! Few beach clubs nearby also, W beach club is only a few minutes away and the drinks are a reasonable price.

Visited for 3 nights as part of a Titan tour. Overall very good and we had our evening meals included here too. A bonus would have been to serve tea/coffee at the table at breakfast. Perfectly adequate breakfast and staff attentive in evening.

I booked this hotel on a EasyJet holiday before I saw the negative reviews and was thinking I’d made a mistake. How wrong I was - an excellent hotel. I just don’t get the negative comments. 1. Breakfast - a vast choice of continental items (no, they don’t have heavy cheeses at breakfast, it’s a light meal), if you want a full English then you go to England for it. There was very decent scrambled eggs, toast, breakfast sausages and onions, should you want it, as well as cold breakfast meats and cheese, salads items, hard boiled eggs, cereals, fruit, enormous range of pastries and sweet items, bread rolls, preserves, etc. what more could you possibly eat? Decent quality 2. Rooms - ours was spacious and clean. Ok so maybe more of a nod to 80s style, but nothing wrong with it. Very happy. 3. Grounds - very pretty, lovely pool, quiet and relaxing. 5. Staff - everyone was friendly and helpful 6. Location - on the edge of GN but walkable into town, plus restaurants, mini supermarkets, gift shops, in roads just meters from the hotel. Bussed into Taormina and Catania from the bus stop a 4 minute walk away.
