Stayed at the hotel for 3 weeks with my husband in July. Forgot to write a review earlier but now while looking for a holiday for next summer, I thought it's time to reflect our stay at Paradise Hotel.
When looking for a hotel we wanted a relaxing and quiet oasis with a nice pool area, spacious and modern rooms and good breakfast. We wanted the hotel to be close enough to restaurants and some shops, but not amongst the nigthclubs. We wanted to stay the whole time in one location and make daytrips around the island. Paradise hotel in Gouvia seemed to be everything we were looking for, however it was not and we would not return to this hotel.
Pros:
-Rooms were cleaned daily and the hotel was clean.
-Nice large pool in a beautiful garden and comfy sunbeds
-Beautiful views towards the city
Cons:
-The food was absolutely the worst part of our stay. Breakfast was just ok, however they run out of eggs, pancakes, bacon etc EVERY morning.You only get 1 small glass of OJ per morning. Dinner was barely eatable. We tried for a week as we had paid for half board, but gave up and ate in Gouvia for the rest of our stay.
-The staff seems to be tired of doing this, sometimes even rude. Especially the British ladies (owners?).
-20 min up/downhill walk to closest shops and restaurants.
-The rooms was nothing like in the pictures, the rooms were run down and smelled wet. There was not enough drawers in our room. It was difficult to keep our clothes in our bags.
