Zaros Apart Hotels

"I never write reviews, but I really had to write this one. Because the physical appearance of the hotel was nice and fancy and everything, sure, but it is really the service that makes this a five star hotel. I had a day-long bout of food poisoning (from a nearby restaurant, definitely not the hotel) while I was staying there, and the whole staff went way way above and beyond in taking care of me, especially the head manager. They were also very helpful with regard to all my other needs and questions the rest of the time I was there. This is THE hotel to stay at in Crete if you want five star treatment."

"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."

"Many grest places to eat and shop nearby."

"Fantastic hotel - great location - great staff - perfect base for getting to know Iraklion. Thank you Nikos - Kosta."

"Think a old North American Motel 8 with a all meals served buffet style a body temperature, and local drinks. Don’t order the mixed drinks unless you want to get drunk and a sugar high on a single drink. The food is edible/ just. The last night they went American on us for dinner with pre- made hamburgers and hot dogs- yuk. If you are old and want to sit around playing cards in an alcoholic daze and don’t have taste buds left- this is your home. A bus outside the hotel will take you into Chani where food is good and a nice restaurant is across the street. "
