    The bathroom was the least nice part of yhe room. The development had no reception (just a gathering place) and the owner was very busy and not very responsive. Low privacy. There was no cleaning service for my 2 night stay (maybe normal).

    The room was spacious. It had a lovely patio and a garden. The kitchen was fully equipped ( although never used it). The development had nice gardens and footways. The different rooms were very close to each other, which made you fell like you were part of a bigger group of people.

    Fabulous location, very accommodating friendly staff, great memorable stay.

    Good place on a very relaxed island

    Everything about this place is excellent, from the well-equipped rooms with terrace, the beautiful garden, to the friendly staff and the free port transfer. Donousa may be a barefoot, relaxed kind of island, but the owners of this hotel run a tight ship. I can see why so many people come back year after year, and stay for weeks at a time.

    Impossible to say anything at all negative.

    Our stay at Makares was perfect. The owner Lukas met us at the port. The apartment was stylish and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Best of all was the sea view looking across to Naxos. And the sunsets from the terrace were spectacular.

    Great host (Loukas) - provided transport to and from the ferry, facilitated a quick check-in and gave us the island basics. Makares is just a short walk to the center of the village. Great seaview, clean - as advertised. Felt comfortable to spend a couple of days there.

    There are far too many people on the island in August for the facilities to cope with. Wish we'd gone earlier in the year but that's August allover Europe. The Skopelities tours boat wasn't running due to the wind but that can't be helped. It's nature.

    The place was in a great location and the rooms where well equipped and stylishly decorated, comfy bed, chairs and umbrella on the balcony. Loukas was helpful and attentive, always replies to messages. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and made sure your requirements were fulfilled. Spotlessly clean with a lovely garden with herbs and flowers. Beautiful bougainvillea. Great sunsets. Nice walks early morning Donousa is lovely it's well worth a visit.

    Makares apartments is located just a couple of minute’s walk from Stavros beach and the Chora. We really enjoyed our stay in our room which was very nice and clean, with a good sized terrace and fantastic view to the sea and the sunset! Mr Loukas, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. Overall our stay at Makares exceeded our expectations and we will definitely book again whenever we visit Donousa! Highly recommend it!

    We loved staying here. It’s location is perfect for daytime exploring the island and eating out in the evening. The studio was fantastic, bright and clean with a good sitting out area. The bed was prefect, really comfortable. The overall atmosphere was chilled and relaxed. Everyone staying there appeared to be having a good time and were relaxed. A bit thanks to Loukas, firstly for the pick up and drop off, but mainly for taking the time to check that we were settling in. He seemed to go the extra mile.
