The rooms were lovely and comfortable, and the entire property has so much character. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay and made us feel right at home.

Eight Hotel Paraggi
"Our check in was very disappointing. The room was very small so I request an upgrade which I was happy to pay for- the receptionist explained they had a room but it was being cleaned, for us to go enjoy lunch and come back to sort it out. On our return they had sold the room to someone else. Hotel location is nice, rooms tiny and old/ worn. Beach set up in also very small with sun loungers crammed together. the beach is lovely. Stay in a proper hotel and come use the beach!"
