Advantages: Close to The Beach Disadvantages: The Rooms in the Original Building are Quite Dated
much attention in my life!!
I find our taxi driver with my name scrawled on the back of what looks like the back of a cornflake packet and breath a Heineken sigh of relief
The taxi driver then wisks us some what dangerously to 'Hotel Spiros'
The Hotel......
We are spun around so many side streets among an unusual Greek one way system I loose my bearings, however I get a pleasant suprise, the hotel looks clean and fresh..... bearing in mind the price we paid for our package.
I walk into a brightly lit reception with a bar (very important), which I note serves a variety of breakfasts (more importantly ranging from unhealthy fry-ups.. to nice Greek yoghurt .... (depending on what mood I am in) and snacks at reasonable prices. The Bar area has also has a seating area adjacent to the swimming pool. Then we are show to our room ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Hotel Spiros, Naxos
Advantages: Value for the money, cleaniness, pool, location Disadvantages: Same breakfast every day, no free internet (but didn't ask Stelios, maybe if you ask you can)
) with some sea view. The room was large, with a fridge and a small cooking area. A terrace with a small table is available to eat outside.
The hotel is located in walking distance of the whole Naxos town.

- a microwave would have made simple cooking easier (but eating in town is cheap too)
- the breakfast buffet was identical each day, some fruits would have been welcome too.
This hotel is definitely worth the money you pay for a room.

Advantages: looked good upfront Disadvantages: the promises were not true
We bought a house some years ago from Douglas Allen Spiro and we needed a 100% mortgage. no problem they told us and we made our offer. The offer was accepted and all went well until 1 week before completion.
Suddenly the 100% mortgage was no longer possible but they could get us a top up loan to cover the extra. this we went along with as we had little choice even though it was more expensive.
A couple of years later we wnt to our mortgage provider ofr something and discovered that they had never offered us 100% at all. In fact they did not do 100% mortgages and never had.
We went back to douglas alan spiro to ask why this was. They denied all knowledge and tried to say we had not been told that at all. Then they said the person who we had been dealing with form them was no longer with the country.
We felt conned but could ...
