"The people and place were welcoming and helpful. From dealing with a medical emergency to finding a last minute ride to the airport, our hosts could not have been more lovely. They accommodated us more then enough and treated us like family/close friends. We loved our down time at the villa in the swimming pool and on the amazing verandas, and strolling the streets of the village throughout the day was peaceful and picturesque. The a/c splits worked well to cool most rooms, and the kitchenette...

"There were not enough folding sun loungers and an iron, which were in the description of the room. There were still not enough simple cups for tea. The person, and especially the hostess, were very friendly and responded at the first request. They even provided me with a service with an appointment with a dentist. Thank her very much for this. Shops and the beach are very close, as the villa is located in the heart of the town. In general, the impression is very good. I want to come back...

Top Hersonissos Hotel Reviews

Paralos Venus Suites - Adults Only

Paralos Venus Suites - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel was ok, much smaller than it looked in the pictures. All the Staff were lovely and couldn't have done more for us. The room was nice, kept clean and had most amenities except towel rails to hang the bath towels inside but, it did have a rack on the balcony. The tv channels were dated and not for English speaking guests, Paralos as a chain should use satellite television. The sun beds were a bit of a problem, as there wasn't enough for everyone, the occupants of the swim up rooms, used to lay on the other sun beds, as the swim ups were all in the shade most of the day, bit of a waste, so glad we didn't upgrade to one. The hotel says it has 2 restaurants, one is hardly ever used as its across the road and downstairs next to the underground carpark with a few chairs and tables more like a overflow carpark. The food was good but the same menu every day, gets a bit monotonous and could do with maybe theme nights to break it up. The beach is a minimum 10 minute walk away, not really a beach just stones and sand that was littered with rubbish. My overall rating would at a push a 3 star."

"Amazing property, felt very high end but still authentic. The staff is very nice and ready to help. The room was comfy and always beach/pool sunbeds available. The breakfast is amazing 10/10 we looked forward to it every day. The onsite reasturants and drinks were over priced for what you got (but the dinner buffet also 10/10 at 45 euros per person). If you are travelling with a baby they have lots of high chairs at all eating places. The only thing I would say is the pool is deep (for kid swimming) and also if you are not travelling with kids this place is packed with young families (great for us, but if I was on a romantic getaway I would choose adult only resort), the town of Malia is walkable about 25 mins - only 5 min drive. But the town is geared to young clubbers and strip joints… BUT the “old town” is cute and small and has good restaurants, so I would just go into old town to dine out. The beach is nice but more rustic/with large rocks. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend."

"This is a fabulous 5* gem, and we had a great time. Positives: Stunning hotel, extremely cleanl, lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds and showers, lovely happy friendly staff. A hotel with great ambience, luxury all neatly bundled up into a lovely package and we'll be back again soon. Also so quiet, even though the hotel was not empty. Negatives - 5 restaurants, unchanging menu, even in the main buffet restaurant, so choices were lacking by the end. Rooms were not serviced if you missed the early morning rounds. Having returned to our rooms in the afternoon/evening, our room would not have been cleaned - this didn't phase us that much. Overall: We visited end of September (after school holiday period) when the weather was turned cooler and windier. The pool was too cold to enjoy and was avoided by most guests. A regulated pool would be much better. Same for the bedroom pools - we didnt use ours as the water was on par to having an ice-dip. This was the same for many of the other rooms we could see."
