Disliked: Staff & service
The check in went smoothly. The property is nice , but you can’t swim in the pool after 7pm, and the room was on the tiny side. The pools were not heated.. Though I was promised a 2pm checkout by the receptionist at checkin, I was scolded for not calling at 11am the next day, which was uncalled for.
Lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived late when all the restaurants were closed and a deli plate was waiting in our room.
We were also given a meal in the a la carte restaurant for free which was very good.
The beach and pool areas were both very nice with an adequate number of Sun loungers for the number of guests.
We had a swim up room and would definitely recommend paying the extra. It gives you your own little terrace area and sun beds which was a really nice thing to have.
The evening entertainment might not be for everyone but it’s easy to stay away if you want to.
Food was good but not incredible, drinks were very good.
We did half board and the prices for drinks and additional food were very reasonable.
Incredible hotel and value. Service and food were top notch! All around great experience. Great water that varies from calm to some little waves so something for everyone. Beach service was incredible and special shout out to Marios! The food at Armonia was world class. Not much of a breakfast person but found myself indulging nonetheless so that should tell you something! Regular rooms are very clean with patio and room cleaning is world class! Look forward to seeing our friends again! Thanks Paralos!

Based on all the high reviews and “4 star” status, we were expecting this to be a much nicer hotel.
Pros:
- Nice beach view
- convenient poolside service
- friendly and helpful staff
Cons:
- crowded on the beach, can be difficult to find a chair during the day
- the rooms have very poor soundproofing, and a lot of noise can come from the hallway at night
- our AC was not working the first night, and we didn’t realize this until it was very late in the night
- the electricity in the room doesn’t work unless you put your key card in the wall, and they only give you one key card. So if you plan on coming back to a cold room at the end of the day, think again! It takes over an hour to cool down even after our AC was fixed. What kind of “luxury” hotel does this?
Perfect location. Only 15 mins from the airport. Easy area to drive if you rent a car and parking is free and close by. Plenty of restaurants and shops close by and in walking distance. Clean facilities and loved the beach lounge area. Highly recommend.
Wow! What a beautiful, magical time we had (travelling as a couple). They treated us with such kindness and respect on arrival. Everyone was so accommodating and helpful. The property was so gorgeous and amazing.
Demetrius was extremely knowledgable and helpful!!
