Hotel Kalos in Giardini-Naxos

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Kalos! One of the highlights was definitely the adorable stray cats roaming the gardens, they are friendly and even let guests pet them. Seeing them enjoy a little food is such a heartwarming touch that really sets this hotel apart and adds a sense of care and humanity. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection of quality products, and the reception staff were very professional and welcoming. We also loved the private beach access with umbrellas, perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a very handy fridge, though overall fairly average. A small tip for the management: some guests reserve sunbeds early by placing towels and then leaving for the day; a polite sign reminding guests not to do this might help. The price was €110 per night in August 2025 for a room for two. It felt a bit expensive, but considering the location in Giardini Naxos and the private beach, it’s understandable. Overall, an good stay we would definitely come back, especially for the charming cats!

We like Italy, thought we'd try Sicily. Really enjoyed ourselves, 10 nights at the Kalos hotel, room 309 which we thought the best room there, for the view and the breeze. Free room safe, free TV, free a/c. Free WiFi, (we used the WiFi of the next door hotel as well) Tap water seemed ok to drink but I drink bottled water anyway Staff all very good and multi tasked, rooms done daily and towels changed. We did a few trips, all well priced, which the hotel rang up and arranged for us. Pickup points were all nearby. We were on half board, food was tasty and enough of it. I think we were there just at the beginning of the season but there were no problem with sunbed numbers. Sea, which you can access right in front of the hotel still a bit cold, pool great.

Nice, clean hotel, kind staff, medium quality breakfast. Huge advantage is that hotel is just above the sea. 15 minutes by walk to the town center, 5 minutes to the nearest restaurants.

Lovely stay at Kalos Hotel after reading the reviews I must say the stay we had was better than expected firstly the breakfast is not just continental but bacon, eggs and mini sausages too. Secondly they do have a pool of their own you do not need to walk next door to use theirs. When you check out however there is no option for a room extension for extra time this did not affect us as we were leaving at 13.30. The bar had shut by 23.00 one night but really that is more to do with guests not arriving by that date we stayed five nights and at the end of the stay the hotel was much busier. On the whole a lovely place to stay and only 15 walk to the centre where there are plenty of restaurants.

This is very small, nice hotel, maybe 20 minutes of a pleasant walk near the sea from Giardini Naxos. It shares the pool, restaurant and the beach with Nike hotel, which is a good thing because pool, though small is filled with sea water that gets warm during the day and feels awesome! Beach is nice, for swimmers only to be honest, because it's slippery and has lots of rocks. What I found bad are the ladders that go into water, they are quite sharp, so I cut pretty badly my foot while getting out of the water. I think they should repair that before someone else gets hurt. The rooms are clean and just fine for a small hotel. I got one of the not so great rooms, where fridge didn't work but they immediately replace it, and AC was so noisy I had to ask them to shut it down. TV had issues and I got new one 2 days before my last day but ok. It's still a nice room, pretty spacy for such small hotel. Receptionists are ok people, they will help you if you need help. No one in Italy was particularly kind to me so I didn't expect more that professionalism and that's fine with me. In general, small, cozy hotel, with nice pool and beach, small choice of decent meals, with free coffee and juice in the morning and decent prices for drinks in the evening. I have nice memories, although I have to say: "repair the ladder! Downside of ladder is sharp as knife!"
