Fantastic hotel! Comfortable rooms, great food (with plenty of choice) and lovely pool areas. But the staff are really what make this hotel! They cannot do enough for you, and go out of their way to give guests the best experience possible. Special shout out to Maria, Georgio, Eleni, Christos and Atheni - they really are a credit to the hotel. We look forward to returning!

Husband and I had a lovely few days relaxing at this hotel. We opted for the double room plus swim up room where we also has access to private seating and access to swimming pool shared with two other rooms. Plenty of choice at breakfast and dinner to suit most dietary requirements. You have the choice to order lunch from the hotel menu or venture out to the local tavernas. Within walking distance, there are local shops and a pharmacy to buy food, water and medicine, if you need anything. The room was spacious, beds comfortable, waterfall shower. Rooms were cleaned everyday. This was a special treat for husbands birthday but would come back to Paralos again.

My boyfriend and I travelled to Paralos Lifestyle to celebrate our birthdays. Before we’d even arrived, I knew the service would be excellent! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with some balloons in the bedroom on arrival, which Georgia from reception kindly helped me organise, and the team were extremely discrete. I also tried to organise a surprise romantic dinner on the beach with Georgia’s help, and the help of Giorgos from the restaurant. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t quite good enough since we went early in the season, but the team made sure we felt romantic and looked after in the buffet restaurant with a table of roses and candles! Everything was beautiful. Clean rooms, fresh towels each day. Lovely sun beds. Swim up rooms with your own private area and hammock (we loved this part of our room!). 10/10 food - the best buffet food I’ve ever had! And lovely, friendly staff. A special mention to Maria, Giorgos and Athina in the restaurant for making our mornings and evenings with their lovely smiles and hospitality. We’ll be back. Don’t think - just book!!…

We spent our honeymoon here. The service was excellent, the rooms were very clean and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Whether at the reception, beach bar, restaurant or spa area the staff were all very friendly. We can honestly complain about nothing. The food was fresh every day and even partly prepared as live cooking. You get to know the original Greek cuisine and the menu is very varied. We can highly recommend this hotel. At the end of our stay we had a wonderful romantic dinner on the beach which was served by the very friendly service manager Georgios. The dishes were beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. We would book the dinner again anytime.

The hotel is lovely, very clean and boutique-like. We sat on the beach the entire time and did little else. Very peaceful, calm, sandy and amazing thick sunbeds, with a bell to press for drinks or food (although very pricey drinks, €10 for a very small strawberry daq) Get the chicken pita, it’s delicious! The pools are small, and there are only two that aren’t private, as we found out from a rather eggy German lad. Perhaps ‘private’ signs by the private pools would be handy. Not a massive issue as we are beach people anyway. The a la cart restaurant is a must. Fine dining, impeccable service and food, thoroughly enjoyed the one complimentary booking we were given. I felt that the main restaurant was a bit of a let down. For the price we paid to stay here, I expected more. For example: No ice cream anywhere. No poached eggs. No tomato ketchup. No fresh pizza put out until the very last slice has gone from the previous pizza, despite the new pizza being ready for 5-10 minutes and sitting on the side. A lovely choice of omelette at breakfast but when I asked for ham and mushroom he simply said ‘no ham’, despite there being ham to my left in a different breakfast section. Not sure why he couldn’t just use that ham? Broccoli at breakfast, but none at dinner? Ok. Random. Positives were the feta, salad, bread and olives which were delicious. The service was also outstanding No evening entertainment here whatsoever, until when we were waiting for our cab to the airport. An amazing singer sang her heart out. Where was she for our whole holiday!? A shame we had to miss her and leave. The cleaners are unbelievable, and super friendly. We had a great room and a great break. Would we go back? Possibly. But next time we will skip the dinner and eat out. And I’ll pack my own ketchup :)…

Kalispera dear Sarah, thank you very much for your review and for taking the time to write it.
