Poseidon Of Paros

“Poseidon resort, a perfect place to relax.”

Wow, what a resort! Poseidon arranged an airport transport with Nicos, who collected us from the airport.

Wow, what a resort! Poseidon arranged an airport transport with Nicos, who collected us from the airport. Marianna at reception was extremely professional, courteous, gave us a tour of the facilities as well as offering advice on places to visit on our three nights stay. We were also caught up in ferry cancellations and again Marianna coordinated changes for us and allowed us an extra night. Transfers were also arranged to visit Naousa and Lefkes as well as advice on places to eat if required. The pool area at Poseidon was exceptional as was the food at the restaurant. The bar staff were friendly and the bar snacks and food were also great options. Breakfast was included and was full of choices. Cleaning staff were also excellent. A quieter place on Paris with options to travel to other areas.

We absolutely loved our time at the Poseidon of Paros and were sad to leave. From the moment you arrive the hotel the staff go above and beyond to make sure every need is met with the greatest attention. The hotel is so beautiful at the other side of the island from the port with beach access and beautiful pools. The rooms were updated and quite spacious we had an amazing deluxe room with ocean views and a nice balcony. The bed was comfortable and I appreciated that they made up the sofa into a bed for my 3 year old son even before we got there. The room was so well appointed with enough closet space and a great sized bathroom. The housekeeping was spot on and I loved how attentive they were to the cleanliness of the rooms and overall restaurant and pool areas. The amenities at this hotel are wonderful and we felt sad to leave. There are two lovely pools that we swam in everyday with plenty of pool chairs available and direct access to the beach. The golden beach was so ideal for us and our son. The water was perfect temperature and the sand was clean and warm. Our son spend many hours playing by the beach. I loved that within a few steps from the hotel there was an ideal beach and they did offer chairs by the water with an additional fee however we used the chairs on the property with a view of the water and directly above the beach. We also used the tennis court that overlooks the sea and the gym area is nice too. The food and drinks were amazing but slightly overpriced. There were two nearby restaurants that are within 5-10 min walking distance from the hotel that offer traditional Greek cuisine that we tried. However we did love the restaurant at the hotel as well. It’s definitely a fine dining experience and with tasty dishes and a focus on presentation. George the manager of the restaurant and pool areas was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He was always on sight supervising everything asking if we needed anything and offering help in any way he can. He was wonderful at his job and he made our stay extra special. The included breakfast was superb with many yummy options and changes everyday to the menu. Overall an excellent stay and very relaxing experience. Only downside is it’s hard to get to the center of town without a car and the hotel shuttle was quite pricey it was 60 euros one way from the port. However the hotel shuttle is quite comfortable and they even provided a car seat for our toddler son with water and towels and efficient service. We stayed 4 days and felt like this hotel is a gem and a perfect fit for anyone who wants a relaxing and comfortable stay on the island of Paros.

We stayed at the hotel for 9 nights as a family with 2 teenagers. We choose the grand suite sea view which was the perfect choice. It was spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a huge balcony with sea with and a small balcony towards the garden. Therefore, there was always a place with shadow. The suite was very nice and clean. It was larger as expected. There was enough space for cloth etc. The room service was great, coming twice a day. New beach tools were brought in the evening for the next day. The hotel consists of small buildings with 2-4 suits each. The hotel has two pools (which were never crowed and there was always space, no people reserving beds!). The first pool is by the restaurant and the main beach bar, which is very stylish and offers shadow during the day. The second pool has a pool bar, which is not as stylish but you can be served in the pool. The restaurant offers tables inside and outside with ocean view. The food was pricy (starter around €20-25) and mains around €30. The quality was high and the test amazing. It is a modern cuisine with Greece touch. We ate their almost very day and enjoyed the food a lot (most have the salmon tartare, octopus and the shrimps saganatki...) We are very spoiled with good food and were never disappointed. Also the wines are delicious. Both pool/beach bars offer sandwiches, burger, pasta and some fish/seafood options and were also very good. The price is a bit lower as in the restaurant. The service team tried successfully to make our vacation perfect. Thanks especially to Panos for the warm and great service and conversations at dinner. Also the reception and house keeping is very helpful. They were sewing our daughter's dress after it had ripped. The beach: the hotel has platforms with beds and umbrellas on the steeper side where you can enter the water via a dock. On the other side there is a sandy beach (Golden beach) with Hotel beds which cost €50 per set (2 large beds, 1 umbrella). We did not use those, as the pool is only a fews meters away where the beds are free of charge. There is pool and beach service at all pools and beaches. The hotel is about 30 min away from Naussa and 40min from Parikipa. You need a car to go there. The bus station is a bit way. We booked a private driver via hotel to go to both towns (€60 one way). It worked perfectly. Both towns are lovely with nice boutiques, restaurants.... Naussa we like the most. Choose Safran restaurant for dinner - can recommend it highly. The next mini market is a 15min walk on the beach. There is no shop in the hotel, so bring sun lotion:) In general, the hotel is a very good choice to relax, enjoy the sun and delicious food. Paros is a really nice island.

“Nice Paros resort”

We stayed with our family of four at the Poseidon.

We stayed with our family of four at the Poseidon. The resort is made up on two parts, the main side with the reception, restaurants, Gym and tennis court, and the other side that has its own pool and easy access to the beach. We didn’t think one side was inherently better than the other. We stayed in two rooms, the one bedroom suite and the superior room. The suite was a little set back so was rated as having a ‘side ocean view’ whereas the superior was rated full ocean view (not a massive difference in our view). The suite however had a queen sized bed which was a little uncomfortable (too firm). Whereas the superior room had a king sized bed which was very comfortable (with mattress topper)- for poor sleepers, I would definitely opt for the king bed. The fold away/sofa conversions for the kids were ok, although taller/heavier kids might be less comfy. English speaking tv channels were limited. Bathrooms were ok. The room came with free breakfast which was nice but somewhat limited. (Not many warm options). Moreover the offerings never changed which was a pity. The restaurant is pretty, overlooking the nice grounds, pool and sea. Prices are commensurate with being on a resort although not extortionate. The two pools and nice but not heated… not an issue in the summer but might be cold in spring/fall. The beach is very nice with wakeboarding, sailing etc options and restaurants (we liked Rebel). You can use the hotels lounge chairs (availability was never an issue- and 10 meters from the beach) so happily you don’t need to spend 50 euros for beach chairs. The resort has a small gym and a tennis court. Unfortunately, the tennis court is doesn’t open until 10am, at which point it’s very hot to play. We did like the glorious setting of the court, right next to the water. The loaner racquets were a little shabby. The gyms opening hours were equally quirky in that you have to book your time in advance which limits spontaneous workouts. The resort doesn’t really offer any other free sports/water play options which is a pity. There is a spa available which was nice. There are restaurant options nearby but you are 30 mins drive from either Naoussa or the port, so we recommend renting a car. The front desk staff are nice but a little unorganised. They also granted us a late checkout but then rescinded that at the last minute which felt unprofessional, but we nevertheless left feeling relaxed. In all, not exactly a 5 star experience but still nice.
