訪訪客Everything about this place is divine! The street you drive down is a skinny windy street covered in flowers leading you to the most scenic view of the ocean in Paros. The front entry with the tables for the resteraunt next door is stunning, the beautiful stairs down to the pebbly beach where the waves lapping over the rocks could put the fussiest baby to sleep. When you walk in you are greeted by the happiest and most hospitable ladies you could wish for who tell you all the great spots around the island and would help you with anything. Then you have the actual room, ours was the deluxe triple room it has a kitchen with table and all you need for making your own food and a fridge big enough to fit everything. The bathroom and shower were a great size and the washing machine was a god send to get all our washing up to date. The beds were comfy and the room spacious enough to move around. The aircon worked perfectly and the balcony was the place to sit and watch the world go by. You would think it couldn’t get better and then you get asked what you would like to choose to be cooked for breakfast! The food was amazing, each day everything was fresh even the breads and croissants you couldn’t want for more. I would come back in a heart beat, our family adored this place and it will be etched in our hearts with the memories we made there.
訪訪客To be very honest, Akrotiri Hotel was not one of my favourite hotels throughout my stay in Greece. Paros is a dreamy island for sure, but not having a car might make it difficult for you to visit places from Akrotiri Hotel itself as there were no shuttle provided to the town. Every place around was a uphill hike or a steep downhill. At least they provided shuttle to and from the port as promised. There were insects around the room and mosquitos too, as it is a hotel surrounded by nature. The service was good as they pointed out places for us to visit and dine. The shuttle driver was extremely nice and was the only person that was willing to go above and beyond without any compensation in mind. Maybe because it was relatively new, there was not much facilities around the hotel. The room was tiny and the bathroom was even tinier, the shower head was busted and the storage space limited. Our room was a basement kind of place with people walking by early in the morning and late at night. I mean, it's a little bit depressing at times. Luckily there was the pool area, but the pool was only open from 10am to 7pm, which was crazy given the fact that sunrise was quite early in Paros like 6am and sunset was around 8pm. This pool closing so early and opening so late was really a bummer as I don't get to swim early in the morning or after a day trip out and about. All in all, as I said, it's not the best for its price point.
訪訪客Positives:
- Good free breakfast with continental options and some cooked options (eggs)
- Pool well maintained
- Gentleman at reception was super helpful in giving directions and recommendations
- Room was clean and the complex is nice, with lots of plants and trees
- About 15 min walk into Parikia and 15 min walk down to the beach
Negatives:
- The room requires the key to be plugged in for the power to work. This meant that our food in the fridge became warm and expired which was frustrating. Recommend Panorama looks at ensuring the fridge can continue working even if the key isn’t plugged in.
- Wifi only works in the reception area and not in rooms, by the pool or the restaurant area
- We had to ask for bath towels, bath mats and blankets every day as the cleaner kept forgetting to provide these
- The shower sprays water everywhere so the bathroom becomes very wet and the shower curtain sticks to you while you are showering
- While it isn’t a long walk to Parikia, there is basically no footpath so it is dangerous (particularly at night) when walking to and from
- Power outlets should be in more convenient locations - these were all up high and we had to use chairs etc to charge our phones on
