We had an amazing stay at Paralos Venus Suites! The food was absolutely incredible, and Julian at the bar and Katerina were both amazing. They made our experience even more special with their kindness and great service. Our room was perfect, and I especially loved having YouTube Premium on the TV — such a nice touch! The property itself is beautiful, relaxing, and very well maintained. My only complaints were that there weren’t always enough cabanas around the pool, so on some days it was difficult to find somewhere to sit. I also wish the servers came down to the pool more frequently to take drink orders. One thing to know is that the property does not have a private beach. The beach is about a 7-minute walk away, and beach chairs with an umbrella are available to rent for €30. We also loved having a little corner store nearby, and the car rental place was super convenient and only about €40 for the day. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The food was amazing, the staff were wonderful, and the property was beautiful. We would absolutely come back! ❤️
