Paradiso Boutique — Hotel in Paros Municipality

To save you from a long (albeit - worth it) read, I’ll summarize: any future visits to Greece will be to Paros, staying at Paradiso Boutique Hotel. It was by far one of the best experiences we’ve had, from location to hospitality. 10/10.

We had the most incredible stay, with the only downside being we wish we could’ve stayed longer. My husband and I arrived in Paros on a Sunday afternoon. Once the ferry dropped us off at the main port, we easily transferred to a small ferry (basically a water taxi) which transferred us to Marcello beach within 10 minutes. Upon arrival, we walked no more than 8 minutes (along the beach) to Paradiso Boutique Hotel (incredibly accessible!)

Upon arrival, we were greeted so warmly, shown to our room, shown where breakfast would be, and were told if we needed anything at all, not to hesitate to ask.

Owners, George and Filip, quickly started to feel like life-long friends. Both Monday and Tuesday we had dinner reservations in different towns within Paros. Filip was able to offer discounted transportation on both days (a huge win on any of the Greek Islands) and offered informative and meaningful conversations along the way.

On Wednesday, due to strong winds, the boat tour we had scheduled was cancelled. We wound up relaxing at Cabana beach club that day, where we mentioned to Filip we’d love if he could join us. To our pleasant surprise, he arrived with George and friends later in the afternoon where they joined us for drinks, dancing, and a great time. They introduced us to other friends and family, and we soon realized we were welcomed as a part of their local community.

Overall, we are lucky enough to have seen this beautiful island and meet friends that we hope to keep for years to come. It is clear this is not a business, but a passion and love for George and...

Don’t even know where to begin... The hotel is located in Martselo beach, about 4 kilometers from the city centre. The beach in front of the hotel is very nice but this is about the only good thing about it. There are no shops or restaurants near the hotel so you need to take a taxi or boat to the centre. Something that the hotel will not help you with. ||The hotel owner who met us upon arrival barely bothered to say hello, gave us the room key and left. We received no information regarding facilities, breakfast hours, the area around the hotel, taxis etc. I have never throughout my years of traveling met such an uninterested and rude manager/owner. ||The rooms are very basic and the pictures on the website do not represent reality. Breakfast was uninspiring. Despite being a hotel guest you need to pay daily for sunbeds. Word of advice is to walk a few meters to the left where there are very nice sunbeds free of charge. ||If you come to Paros or even Martselo beach I can assure you that here are many other hotel alternatives that are way better than this one. Quite frankly it was a relief...

The lovely ladies who clean the rooms, were just that - lovely. They did a great job and clearly worked very hard. The location is good, right on the beach. When our ferry arriving in Paros ran late, the owner awoke at 2am to let us into our room. While she was vocal about her annoyance at having to do this for us - I appricated it none the less. This is really where her hospitality started and finished. She didn't bother to tell us anything about the area. Didn't inform us what times breakfast was, did not inform us that there was a small boat that can run you too and from the main town - this is super handy as there really isn't anything near this hotel. The wifi didn't work the entire time, and when we needed to locate her to ask her to book a taxi, etc - she was no where to be found. The lovely staff at the beach club became our local help and answered any questions we had. The hotel is nice, the location is fine, but a little hospitality goes a long way. Management/owner really need to put in...
