Poseidon of paros accommodation10/31/2023 ![]() You see the big hilly landscape plus the sea - it's a wonderful panoramic view. ![]() The breakfast buffet was a great way to start every morning - many healthy options and the views are spectacular. It was an easy and beautiful place to spend several nights. The hotel service - whether it was the wait staff (George and Helen are terrific!) or the bell captain (George is so kind!) always greeted us with helpful and friendly smiles. His service was always prompt and he saved us a lot of time calling local places for us to help change our plans. Dionisios at the front desk is incredibly kind and helped us adjust several plans during our stay. It's a cool place to drive around so this distance didn't bother us. Paros is a big island so a rental car was ideal and most things were a 15-30 minute drive. Even before we arrived, the front desk representatives had been so helpful with booking restaurants, excursions and a rental car in advance (which I recommend doing prior and especially in the summer). Still feels like a small hotel (and not a resort). My family of four, plus my mother-in-law, had an incredible 5 nights at this lovely hotel. Lower the laundry cost and heat that pool a bit and they are on the way to 5 stars!… Overall, a nice visit, but the owners could really have a staff seminar to demonstrate how to be more welcoming to guests and be helpful in meeting their needs. ![]() Really? If cats are a problem, get rid of them, but telling a kid not to pet a cat when there are cats all over the place is unfriendly. There are cats all over the property yet a staff person scolded my child for petting one. ![]() The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Although the clothes did smell nice when they were returned. Our lovely hotel in Naxos did laundry at a reasonable price so I assumed that was the going rate in these islands - not so at Poseidon - it was too expensive. The laundry was very very expensive at this hotel. This similar observation was made in a June 2022 review by Max E, so I know this is an issue for other guests as well. And when I asked at the front desk if there was a place nearby where I could purchase sunblock, the staff person was polite but very unhelpful (I later found a small shop within walking distance - does the staff not know where the local shops are?). Each night for dinner, we were immediately asked "do you have a reservation?" instead of "good evening, welcome." (and the restaurant was empty anyway). The staff could use some training to be a bit more friendly and proactive. The location may divide people: I enjoyed the remote location but other people may want more amenities within walking distance. Not many people were using the pool and I suspect it was due to the chilly nature. I would suggest some sort of solar heating set-up. Our room was spectacular and had amazing views. Here are some observations: The facilities are great. My family of four spent part of our Greece vacation at Poseidon of Paros in July 2022.
