6/10
Sundunes is in the quite end of plaka beach just behind the sand dunes. A five minute walk to the local taverna's and resturants. We were looking for a hotel with some vibe very close to the beach. From the website that advertises a pool bar and a restaurant it looked ideal. We were somewhat disappointed to find the pool bar shut and emptied and the boutique just had a couple of tables in it with some stored luggage. What was open was the caffeteria complete with caffeteria style funiture - not what we had expected. Needless to say most of our time was spent on the beach on sunbeds which we had to pay for or further up the beach which has a lot more vibe. This newly built hotel was lovely and the rooms quiet and well appointed but for us is wasn't really what was advertised. I would say it was fine for families but not really what we were looking for. If you are averse to noise,it is directly under the flight path to Naxos airport with six to eight landings a day starting at seven in the morning and finishing at eight, Only very small prop planes land here so not massive Jet noise so it didn't really bother us. Also you have to realise it is at the nudist end of the beach so you can't be a prude.
It was such a shame because the staff were brilliant the hotel lovely and clean and the pool amazing - it just felt that the hotel wasn't fully open after completion. Had the amazing pool bar been open and living up to expectations we would have spent more time there.
