10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel was ok, much smaller than it looked in the pictures. All the Staff were lovely and couldn't have done more for us. The room was nice, kept clean and had most amenities except towel rails to hang the bath towels inside but, it did have a rack on the balcony. The tv channels were dated and not for English speaking guests, Paralos as a chain should use satellite television. The sun beds were a bit of a problem, as there wasn't enough for everyone, the occupants of the swim up rooms, used to lay on the other sun beds, as the swim ups were all in the shade most of the day, bit of a waste, so glad we didn't upgrade to one. The hotel says it has 2 restaurants, one is hardly ever used as its across the road and downstairs next to the underground carpark with a few chairs and tables more like a overflow carpark. The food was good but the same menu every day, gets a bit monotonous and could do with maybe theme nights to break it up. The beach is a minimum 10 minute walk away, not really a beach just stones and sand that was littered with rubbish. My overall rating would at a push a 3 star."

"Amazing property, felt very high end but still authentic. The staff is very nice and ready to help. The room was comfy and always beach/pool sunbeds available. The breakfast is amazing 10/10 we looked forward to it every day. The onsite reasturants and drinks were over priced for what you got (but the dinner buffet also 10/10 at 45 euros per person). If you are travelling with a baby they have lots of high chairs at all eating places. The only thing I would say is the pool is deep (for kid swimming) and also if you are not travelling with kids this place is packed with young families (great for us, but if I was on a romantic getaway I would choose adult only resort), the town of Malia is walkable about 25 mins - only 5 min drive. But the town is geared to young clubbers and strip joints… BUT the “old town” is cute and small and has good restaurants, so I would just go into old town to dine out. The beach is nice but more rustic/with large rocks. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend."
