Paros Bay - Hôtel Paros Bay - Parikia - Cyclades

Dear Paros Bay, don't ask me to remove my post just because you don't appreciate it! I stayed at your hotel, with the name Tchangou. Please check your information before comment my post..

Beautiful non pretentious hotel, very good relaxing athmosphere, very good value, especially the buffet dinner totally worth it. Very French clientele. Beautiful pool and view over the bay and walking distance to two beaches. We could come back anytime !

Stunning views from the property and up the little dirt path for the sunset! The little beach next door was lovely as well and the seawater pool was gorgeous and inviting. The breakfast buffet was lovely and the food at the dinner buffet was very good. I had a bit of trouble with the lock on my door, perhaps due to the heat, but the front desk staff members were very helpful and patient. The hotel is quite isolated, with no other restaurants or businesses nearby. You can walk or take the bus into town but it is not a short walk. One of the wait staff was a bit rude to me at dinner, wanting to move me from a window table to a less choice table of the same size, apparently because I was alone and she wanted to give the nicer table to a group.

Gorgeous hotel, hidden away from the crowds of Parikia. Situated at one of the best beaches in the area. Very friendly service, especially Eliza, one of the hosts. Highly recommend! ?

Great location, nice room with fantastic view of the bay, reach breakfast and a very good service. I was missing a shirt that I gave to laundry and the manager promised to send me a new one wich he did eventually. Thank you Panos.

Perfect hotel for your Paros vacation! Located 20 minutes walk from the Parikia (the capitol village) and 5 minutes with a car (lots of free parking lots). It feels isolated, with an adjacent narrow beach strip. It has amazing view over the sea (take the sea view room). Our room was tidy, clean, well designed and had a nice and spacious balcony with a sofa to chill on. Everything is highly maintained (shower, sink, etc) and there's a medium size screen TV. The pool is sea-water, looking at the sea, long enough to do some swimming. The hotel is rather small so never feels crowded. There's a cool pool bar with cold beers, fruits, etc. taking your lunch and dinner at the pool bar is awesome. Breakfast is simple in a good way - fresh vegetables, fruit, eggs (organic), pastries and bread. They also prepare small snack bags of seeds, berries and dried fruits. There are several chilling areas in the premise where you can sit and watch the sea, the sunset and enjoy yourself. Staff is very nice and polite and will help with getting a car, taxi, etc. We recommend renting a car via the hotel since the car agency brings it to you and takes it back as well (or you can drive to the airport and leave it there). It's the same price as renting it directly from the car agency. Food for lunch and dinner is great and reasonably priced as well. There's Greek food, but also pastas, burgers and chicken nuggets...we recommend the Panini for a light meal or the fresh fish and sea food for a bigger meal. The only negative comment is that there's no accessible way to get mineral water to drink on the premise (they say that tap water isn't good to drink). You can fill your bottles during breakfast but they won't allow it afterwards. So of course you can buy mineral water, but since it's so hot in the summer and one drinks a lot, you always need to buy new bottles (which is also bad for the environmental). I think it's a basic requirement to have a cooler with filtered drink water accessible during the whole day.

First and foremost, I know the receptionist did their best to keep us informed. However, I find this hotel lacking in service, attitude and cleanliness. We booked our hotel through now Expedia and it was informed that the check-in is at 2pm. Although we got there a bit early, we were not checked much later; this cut into our itinerary time since we were only staying for one night. Second, we found the cleanliness of the hotel severely poor. There are unclean tables (crumbs and dishes) laying all over the place in the lounge area. Our room was partially clean. We had hair all over bathroom/room floors. The walk towards our room was cluttered with laundry. And the internet is so poor that we can't receive it from our room. We had to literally go in the hall way to receive better signal. Third, mannerism needs to be improved. We had luggages and no one offer d to bring it to our rooms. Especially when there are stairs to go up. No elevator access. You can imagine how frustrating that could be especially since we paid for a mid-tier level price for the hotel. We could have just stayed at an Inn. We had a scenerio when we filled our bottle of water with the water dispenser in the cafeteria and a hotel staff member said "you want water you have to go to the bar". I find this very odd as it is a water dispenser. I don't mind paying 1.20 euro for 700ml water but it is my knowledge that you have a dispenser for a reason in a public area. In my one night stay, I've seen/ heard multiple people complains. I had higher hopes for this hotel. Especially, the staff members look miserable. But I hope they improve since it is by the Parasporos beach front. Please be aware that are your guest and we try to treat your place with respect and in turn, we should be treated the same way.

The pool is the best feature of the hotel. It's extra large and right on the water. The free breakfast in the morning has good selections and everything is fresh. The hotel location is okay. You can walk to town but it's on a busy road otherwise you need to rent a scooter. The hotel staff here can do a better job. The front desk people don't put the extra effort into helping you. The servers in the breakfast area told me I can fill up my water bottle very rudely. If they just put up a sign this would not be an issue. Or they can just not be so cheap and let people get water.
