Facilities and Rooms | Delta Hotels by Marriott Giardini Naxos
Restaurants and Bars
Days here are anchored around good food and lingering glasses of local wine.
Panarea Restaurant
The main restaurant serves a generous buffet and à la carte mix of Italian, Sicilian and international dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In peak season (roughly May–September) dinner is predominantly buffet-style, while in shoulder months the set-up can shift to more à la carte service depending on occupancy. Expect plenty of fresh pasta, grilled fish, seasonal vegetables and classic desserts. Highchairs and a kids’ menu make it easy for families.
Sciara Restaurant
An à la carte venue for leisurely lunches and dinners, with a focus on regional flavours and fresh local produce. This is the place for a more intimate, dress-up dinner — the hotel asks guests not to wear beachwear and for gentlemen to opt for long trousers in the evening. Reservations are required and supplements may apply depending on your board basis.
Brezza Beach Bar
Set right by the sand, this seasonal beach bar is ideal for light bites, cold beers and spritzes between swims (typically open summer season, limited hours).
Quintessenza Lobby Bar
The social heart of the hotel, open into the night for Italian coffee, cocktails and post-dinner nightcaps.
Please note: restaurant opening dates, formats (buffet/à la carte), reservations and supplements may change with season and occupancy. Always check the latest information on arrival.
Pool Areas and Beach
The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool is framed by palms and a generous sun terrace with loungers — a relaxed spot for lazy days when you don’t feel like wandering far. Pool towels are provided free of charge, and opening dates typically run from early May to mid-October (weather and occupancy dependent).
Just beyond the pool is the real show-stopper: the beachfront. Delta Hotels by Marriott Giardini Naxos has a reserved section of the public beach with parasols and sunbeds* set up along the sand. It’s here you’ll feel most immersed in the Bay of Naxos, with views back to Taormina and, on clear days, Mount Etna rising in the background.
Use of the private beach area is included for certain upgraded room types (such as Deluxe and Superior Sea View categories, subject to availability). Guests in other room types can still access the reserved area for a local daily fee, which usually covers two sunbeds, an umbrella and towels.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Wellness is taken care of with a dedicated spa area (local charges apply) featuring a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and a menu of massage and beauty treatments. Access is typically for ages 16+ and the spa operates limited afternoon/evening hours, which may vary by season.
For more active guests, there’s a gym equipped with cardio machines, a free-weights space and fixed strength-training equipment, usually open throughout the main season.
You can expect regular evening entertainment in peak months, with live DJ sets and low-key shows creating a relaxed resort atmosphere without overwhelming the hotel’s peaceful vibe.
Practical extras include a 24-hour reception with concierge support and luggage storage, making arrival and departure smoother.
