"Great location, sea view, clean, English language spoken, lots of restaurants nearby
Negatives, it is an older building, smallish rooms, busy street."
"Wow! Stay here!!!! Everything was incredible. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was truly delicious and so many options. I highly recommend the Italian restaurant on site, just make sure to book first thing as they require an advance reservation for the restaurants that are not the buffet. Also the buffet was great too! No bad choice here!"
"The room was very nice and clean, the staff were lovely (they even called the rental car company for me to sort out a misunderstanding) and we were very happy with the fitness room and the pool. Overall we would stay again!"
"Paralos Lifestyle Beach was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. We booked a swim‑up suite and it exceeded every expectation — spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. The terrace had sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon, which worked perfectly: lazy poolside mornings followed by afternoons on the gorgeous beach just steps away.
What truly made the stay unforgettable was the staff. Every interaction felt warm and genuine, and in the restaurant especially, they went above and beyond. It never felt forced — just sincere hospitality that elevated every moment.
The resort itself is small but wonderfully maintained, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The adults‑only atmosphere was blissful and ideal for couples, friends, or even a mum‑and‑daughter escape. The location is great too, with several lovely lunch spots nearby.
We hired a car, and the hotel is only a short, easy drive from the airport. Roads were smooth, drivers were predictable, and exploring the island felt relaxed and enjoyable.
Overall, Paralos Lifestyle Beach delivered everything we hoped for: calm, comfort, great service, and a touch of luxury. A truly memorable stay."

"The room was ok, older than expected and not as clean. We had a hot tub so that helped. Overall had great time - pool was great and staff were lovely!"
"Good breakfast, wonderful view. The only let down was the water from the shower not having a more efficient drainage path. Other than that it was fantastic"
