The staff are what make this property exceptional!

There were a couple of issues with our booking on arrival, so the first night we had to stay in a different room. The next day we spoke to Georgia (manager) and she was brilliant! She listened to our concerns and addressed each one. She then went above and beyond, to make the rest of our stay memorable. We were upgraded to the junior suite with swim up, which was incredible! We also had a couples massage, which is would definitely recommend!

On my husband's birthday (reason for the trip) we were surprised by the wonderful maitre d' David with a cake and champagne by the beach!

Katerina on reception also helped us with late checkout on our departure day so we could really make the most of our time there!

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.

This hotel has a really relaxed vibe and is great for couples. The food was fantastic with a real range. It was great to have the optional al la carte restaurant included once in our stay. There are a real range of rooms including rooms with swim up suites and private pools. A few tips, let the hotel know if you prefer shade or full sun all day. Some of the suites were in full sun all day and may have been uncomfortable. Also, some suites are near the bar- the bar is quite quiet but if you want to have a really quiet stay (like us) I would let the hotel know. There is an outdoor venue next to the hotel. It can be loud a few times per week but the two evening when there was a gig, the noise was finished by 10:30pm or 11:30pm.

We would absolutely return to this hotel. It has a really luxurious feel and the staff were all amazing!

This place is perfect for a stay off the beaten path. There are a few good restaurants, beach bars, and even a small dance club within walking distance. The property itself has a private beach with push button ordering service. The photo is the private beach area, always had a seat. I can’t complain about anything! We really enjoyed a weekend here.

Could not recommend this place more! We will definitely be going back. The staff was phenomenal, when we arrived we were greeted by a concierge who took our bags inside/to our rooms and made us a mimosa while we filled out our check in details. We did the half board so we got a buffet breakfast and dinner each night that had so many options and were very delicious! The front desk also made us a reservation for the el la carte dinner which was also free. The staff didn’t hesitate when we asked them to book us a taxi to check out city centre as well as booking an early taxi to get us to the port the morning we checked out, also supplying us with a box breakfast to go. Highly recommend this place! Absolutely loved every minute of our stay!

Paralos lifestyle beach was an amazing experience from the check in to check out. During check in we were offered champagne while we filled in our information. Evey employee greets you as you pass each other in a kind and friendly manner.
There are two dinning facilities on the property, one which is included in your stay and another that is more personal and you pay for. Both were excellent!
The resort has a private beach, 2 common area swimming pools and also has rooms with private pools. I will say that our room was a little small but that's fine for us. If you pack a ton of stuff you might feel cramped.
There is an outside fitness area which if you prefer dumbbells and free weights you will like a lot better than the fitness room. This area also has a ping pong table and a dart board.
The resort also has a spa on premises. Katia from the spa was amazing. Not only did she handle clients upon entering but she answered other questions we had about the area. With it being so dry we booked a couple's package with hydration wrap and you can feel the difference!
While we were checking out and waiting for the transport that the resort set up for us, they provided us a breakfast care package since we had to leave before breakfast was available! The staff is ama

Very nice adults only hotel! Particularly liked the beach pool continuation and the extremely friendly staff! Would benefit from an update in certain areas like bathroom fittings and plumbing, new towels as the ones provided were visibly very old, as well as more coffee options included as standard with breakfast. it’s the first hotel i have been that the only offer filter coffee and tea for breakfast-not even decaf! Any other option have to be paid which is very weird in Greece in 2024!

Georgia Piteidiou Helped me making my trip as a great memory. Georgia, helped with decorating our room with roses and arranged a romantic dinner by beach as per our request. George, Anna & Nonas hospitality at Al carte ( Ammonia) was mind blowing. They were very welcoming and the food and service was excellent. We really recommend it everyone to choose Paralos Lifestyle as their destination to make the vocation great. Thanks to the whole Paralos team.

The friendliness of the majority of staff. The front desk was very helpful. The rooms were very clean along with daily cleaning.
The dining had a variety of food that was very good this included the buffet for breakfast and dinner as well as a la carte dining. The waiters and waitresses were personable with excellent service. The only issue in our room was the air conditioner that took awhile to resolve.
Otherwise a great experience.

Really an exceptional property! I was very impressed, from the friendly staff to the beauty of the rooms and amenities! Honestly the staff makes this hotel about 20 times better than most other resorts I’ve been to, they are willing to go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be! The resort itself is beautiful, little pools everywhere with cabanas and comfy lounge chairs scattered. The beach area is pristine with umbrellas and a lovely bar that serves you at the push of a button. The food was phenomenal! You don’t even have to leave for any reason if you don’t want to, they have everything you need! Even a gym, daily yoga and shows at the pool bar! I highly enjoyed my stay and will be back!

The property is in Ammoudara and offers a beautiful oceanfront view with a beach lounge. We picked it because it was adults only and all-inclusive (minus drinks). The area around the property is a little rundown and not as much touristy shopping. It’s clear this resort is high-class compared to others we saw in the area.

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.

Impeccable visit and top notch

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?

Pros: we loved the hotel. Beautiful and very well planned out. The staff were fantastic and very warm. Great service. The pool staff do need to wear visors in the sun though. The choice of food and wine was very good and covered a variety of diet options. We also had massages (not included in the package) and they were excellent.
Cons: the air conditioning in our room suddenly didn't work so we needed to move rooms towards the end of the trip. The staff were how ever quick to move us to another smaller room for the night and to an equivalent room the next day.

Mein Partner und ich waren diesen Sommer das erste Mal im Paralos Lifestyle Hotel. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss mit Swim Up gebucht und den direkten Einstieg von der Terasse in den Pool exzessiv genutzt. Neben den privaten Pools, gibt es auch frei zugängliche auf der Anlage, die ebenfalls sehr einladend aussahen. Zu keiner Zeit war es hier überfüllt, immer waren Liegen mit Sonnenschirm verfügbar.
Das Buffet-Essen und das Barangebot haben wir als lecker und abwechslungsreich wahrgenommen. Hier ist es unmöglich, dass jemand hungrig zurück auf's Zimmer gehen muss.
Das Personal war stets zuvorkommend und hat uns freundlich und geduldig geholfen unsere kläglichen Versuche griechisch zu sprechen zu verbessern.
Vielen Dank, wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Schon bei der Ankunft wird man herzlich empfangen und mit einem Glas Sekt, Saft oder Wasser willkommen geheißen. Die Damen an der Rezeption sind außergewöhnlich freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Besonders überrascht hat mich, dass sie sogar perfektes Deutsch sprechen.
Die gesamte Hotelanlage ist wunderschön gestaltet, sehr gepflegt und überall makellos sauber. Das gesamte Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich, zuvorkommend und stets bemüht, den Gästen jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen.
Ein weiteres Highlight war das Essen. Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Abendessen waren hervorragend – abwechslungsreich, frisch und unglaublich lecker. Hier findet wirklich jeder etwas nach seinem Geschmack.
Was mein Katzenherz besonders höher schlagen ließ: Das Hotel kümmert sich liebevoll um die Katzen auf dem Gelände, versorgt sie mit Futter und achtet auf ihr Wohlbefinden.
Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt ist die Situation am Pool. Leider werden viele Liegen bereits früh morgens reserviert und bleiben anschließend oft zwei bis drei Stunden ungenutzt. Hier wäre es wünschenswert, wenn das Hotel etwas konsequenter eingreifen würde. Allerdings gibt es genügend Alternativen, denn wenn am Pool kein Platz mehr frei ist, kann man problemlos auf den Strand ausweichen.
Direkt vor dem Hotel befindet sich eine Bushaltestelle, von der aus man schnell und unkompliziert nach Heraklion gelangt.
Kleinere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für Wasser, Snacks und andere Kleinigkeiten befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe!

Super Hotel, sehr hilfsbereites Personal.
Das Buffet ist mega, jeden Tag was neues.

Unser einzigen negativen Punkte sind die Lage des Hotels, da man dort ohne Mietauto gar nichts unternehmen kann und auch die Preise der Getränke waren etwas frech (10€ für einen kleinen Becher Aperol). Der Pool war leider auch noch sehr kalt.

Ansonsten kann ich das Hotel definitiv weiterempfehlen.

Wir haben 8 Nächte in diesem Hotel verbracht und es war von Anfang bis Ende einfach perfekt. Schon beim Check-in wurden wir herzlich empfangen, die Rezeption war immer besetzt und das gesamte Team war durchgehend freundlich, hilfsbereit und professionell. Jede Anfrage wurde sofort und mit einem Lächeln beantwortet.
Unser Zimmer war genauso, wie wir es gebucht hatten – sehr schön, sauber und komfortabel.

Die Anlage selbst bietet wirklich alles: Zwei tolle Pools, zwischen denen man wählen kann, sowie den Strand in unmittelbarer Nähe. Man konnte problemlos zwischen Strand und Pool wechseln, und es gab jederzeit genügend Liegen. An der Strandbar wurde man direkt am Platz bedient, egal ob Kaffee, Drinks oder ein leichter Lunch – alles war sehr lecker.

Auch kulinarisch war das Hotel top: Im Hauptrestaurant gab es morgens und abends ein abwechslungsreiches Buffet. Die Desserts waren ein echtes Highlight – vom Schokobrunnen bis zu frischen Crêpes.
Ganz besonders möchten wir Vasso erwähnen, die uns jeden Tag mit einem freundlichen Lächeln begegnet ist und immer das Gefühl vermittelt hat, dass man als Gast willkommen und geschätzt ist.

Alles in allem: ein rundum schönes Aufenthalt. Wir können das Hotel weiterempfehlen!🌞✨

Wir waren zum 2. Mal dort und sind weiterhin sehr begeistert. Das Hotel ist der perfekte Ort für einen entspannten Paarurlaub.

Der Strand ist schön und nicht zu überlaufen. Man findet zu jeder Uhrzeit eine freie Liege - sowohl am Strand als auch an den Pools.

Ein besonderes Highlight ist für uns das Essen. Morgens kann man zwischen dem Hauptrestaurant und dem Restaurant am Strand wählen, wobei wir fast ausschließlich im Strandrestaurant gefrühstückt haben. Dort gab es eine ausgezeichnete Auswahl an gesunden Frühstücksoptionen, sogar eine glutenfreie Ecke war vorhanden.
Abends gibt es im Hauptrestaurant ein täglich wechselndes Buffet mit allem, was das Herz begehrt. Besonders lobenswert ist die große Auswahl an vegetarischen Gerichten. Hier wird jeder fündig und es schmeckt fantastisch.

Auch das Personal ist immer sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und es gibt genügend Stauraum. Die Betten sind bequem.

Der einzige kleine Minuspunkt ist, dass direkt neben dem Hotel eine kleine Eventlocation ist, wo abends öfter Konzerte usw. Stattfinden. Dann ist es manchmal etwas lauter - dazu kann das Hotel aber natürlich nichts.

Alles in allem sind wir sehr zufrieden und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. :)

Un hôtel magnifique ! Le personnel est vraiment génial, toujours souriant et à l’écoute. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le buffet du matin et du soir : très corrects et on s’est régalés. L’hôtel dispose de deux superbes piscines et la plage juste devant est très belle, idéale pour profiter toute la journée.

Le quartier est également agréable, en plein cœur de la rue principale de Gazi, ce qui rend le séjour pratique et vivant. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié leur réactivité : nous avons demandé à changer de chambre pour avoir une plus belle vue et ils nous ont immédiatement trouvé une nouvelle chambre, sans hésiter.

Vraiment un super hôtel, parfait pour y passer une semaine complète. Nous recommandons à 100% et n’hésiterons pas à revenir !

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Anlage ist relativ zentral gelegen, wodurch man aber natürlich nicht die ruhigste und schönste Umgebung erwarten kann. Innerhalb der Anlage fällt das aber gar nicht auf. Die Anlage sowie der Stand sind wirklich sehr schön angelegt. Die Zimmer mit direktem Zugang zum privaten Pool sind sehr zu empfehlen, allerdings teilweise direkt am Restaurant gelegen und dadurch in den Abendstunden laut. Das Essen im Restaurant war jeden Tag außergewöhnlich gut und reichhaltig. Kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: In der Prime-Time empfanden wir Sitzplätze im Restaurant sowie Liegen am Strand zu knapp bemessen. Das Highlight war allerdings die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter. Das freundliche und zuvorkommende Team veranlasst uns dazu über Kleinigkeiten hinwegzusehen und volle 5 Sterne zu vergeben.
