Hotels near Livadia Beach, Paros

I arrived for 4 nights with my husband and 2 children (22 and 19). We were booked here with a tour so I didn't have any say. We first had rooms beside each other with balcony views of the football stadium. Not great. I requested to be moved to rooms with a view of the water and we were moved the second day. Our rooms shared a balcony and we enjoyed the lovely sunsets and views down to the water. This made all the difference! Rooms are clean but very basic. Beds are terrible - hard and very low. Breakfast is limited but has all the basics you'll need and sitting outside to eat on the terrace with water views is nice. The pool area is very small - we went at the end of May and somehow had the pool to ourselves everyday. The woman at the front desk isn't overly friendly but she did offer guidance for where we should go in our rental car. (A car rental place is right across the street). It is an easy walk down to restaurants and the beach. Walking up is a bit of a haul but not hard. However, with all the hotel lacks, it's charm completely won us over. We loved our stay in Paros and the memories we made.

We found the hotel to be in a great location, one building back from the beach front. We were lucky to have a higher room which had a sea glimpse which for the price was great. Also the property had a pool which is a surprise for the price bracket. We ate out everyday but did have a few drinks at the bar which were reasonably priced. The only real issue we had was the wifi which stopped after the first day and din't work in the room from then on even after the tecnican was called however it was always available at reception and bar so not a big issue.

Small hotel in the center of Parikia in a quiet area, recently renovated, clean and furnished with contemporary taste. The huge room with a small terrace with a very comfortable bed and a choice of pillows all in Tiffany blue-green tones is marvelous, as is the bathroom with window and mosaic tiles; all very bright. Very good buffet breakfast in the room or terrace with fresh products and music/ambience in the background. Mrs. Markella who runs it is very kind and helpful: she replaced my lampshade light bulb in no time! The only improvement would be a larger wardrobe, an extra chair and some hooks for hanging things, otherwise perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

Very friendly welcoming hotel, ideal location just a few minutes walk to the quay side. Good and varied breakfast. We had a junior suite which was immaculate and spacious, with a large terrace. Some negatives. 1/ Our terrace , the furniture, for a boutique hotel I would have expected more than white plastic chairs, (with no seat cushions) and a tiled table from the 1970’s, there were two sun beds but really rickety. No shade from 10am until late afternoon, so in effect wasn’t possible to sit out comfortably to read or have lunch. 2/ Delightful pool area, with sun beds but again the beds were in full sun all day. There is shaded seating in one corner. I do understand the issues with sun umbrellas but they are a necessity.

Firstly, the staff are 5/5. They are all great. I cannot praise them enough.  Hotel:  The rooms are newly decorated and immaculate.  The hotel area overlooks the bay and has a pool area.  We stayed there one day but we're more beach loungers so walked down the back of the hotel to the Paralia Beach area (the AMOSS cafe has loungers for 20 euro versus 30 either side of it and the guy attending is excellent).  The walk to the beach and/or into Parikia is about 15/25 mins. Taxi back from town is 15 euro, from rank by Port.  Breakfast was 34 euro a couple.  I will give credit and say the fare was fresh and the array of cakes great. I would have preferred proper coffee for the price. It is on the upper end of price for breakfast; however, I won't detract from its niceness with a grumble. Fantastic. Small Issue: One gripe I do have is the rooster on or next door to the premises (but next door I think). It starts making noise at 03:30, and every 15 minutes until 06/06:30.  I'm a light sleeper and it woke me every morning about 3:30 and I had broken sleep thereafter.  That said, overall, a great hotel with great staff. The rooster issue would need to be addressed for me to return though.  Paros: I spent each summer in Greece from 2001 to 2011 (all through my 20s). I was last in Paros in 2010 and it is more or less the same; however, now has a busier vibe as do all the islands. I note the Instagram effect everywhere I go. Also, I think many places have lost their tavernas / Greek identity and it's not as authentic as it used to be. That applies to all the Cyclades islands. Further, I recall the islands used to be a lot cheaper (i.e. better value) than Ireland, i.e. where I am from. It used to be the case that what costs you 5 euro in Ireland, cost you 3 - 3.50 euro in Greece. Now, that's all gone and they are equal. In fact, the islands can be MORE expensive now which is bizarre as Irish bar/cafe etc wages are double that of Greece. That's capitalism I guess.  

This is an amazing family run hotel. It is an easy flat 15 minute walk along the waterfront from the ferry terminal even with our bags. Dimitri checked us in with some great restaurant recommendation the best was To Bountaraki which we went too, 3 nights out of the 7 nights we stayed in Paros. The pool area is really nice and the pool heated and a great temperature still refreshing but no need for any hesitation getting in…. There were plenty of loungers and a good mix of sun & shade The breakfast is very good and served in the pool area. Anna makes the most amazing pastries each morning. All the staff are incredibly friendly and all work really hard to make the hotel spotlessly clean. The rooms are on the smaller side but they have a small refrigerator, English TV and a small safe and enough room to be comfortable. We loved the hotel and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We hope we can visit again soon

We cannot recommend Hotel Iris enough. Anastasia made our stay in Paros the absolute best it could be. On arrival, Anastasia wrote us out an extensive list on her favourite places to visit. She also helped us to hire an ATV which made getting around easy. The smile she greeted us with instantly made the hotel feel warm and homely. The hotel rooms were extremely clean and the beds were super comfortable. The buffet breakfast was delightful, lots of options and all very fresh! The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to the main square of Naoussa. We have already recommended this to others and will continue to do so. Thanks so much Hotel Iris, we hope we’re back soon!

Our experience at Argonauta Hotel was excellent. A great location, close to everything, really caring and helpful people, nice design of the room, exceptional breakfast. We loved every detail and we considered it the best price-value ratio we could get. We'll surely come back as Paros was a charming discovery.

I would rank this hotel as ”just ok” as the rooms were clean and unnecessarily large (good for large family), but nothing special, as there is no swimming pool or other amenities like that. Furthermore, the walking distance from the hotel into town is not insignificant.. probably a 20 minute walk or so, although only a short distance to the nearest beach. The woman at the desk was very friendly and helpful with information and assisted us in finding taxi service. One issue experienced was we did not receive a reminder notification the night before our transport service was to pick us up. Consequently, we lost count of the days and were alerted by a call from the desk that our ride was outside waiting for us. So we had to scramble packing to catch it.

A really lovely hotel, staff were very friendly and helpful. Staff helped us arrange quad hire, which was great! The breakfast buffet was amazing, thoroughly enjoyed it every morning, something there for everyone, great variety. Loved relaxing in the hotel in the evenings with a carafe of wine, very well priced. Stunning hotel, really happy we stayed here.
