Parian Village Beach Hotel - Adults Only

The hotel is tranquil. The staff are amazingly friendly. The breakfast is buffet style and plenty of variety. They have a good understanding of the gluten-free requirements. Rooms are very clean and well proportioned and serviced to a high standard on a daily basis. I have tried to but can not fault this place.

Beautifully situated hotel with views over the beach and port. We had our own plunge pool on our balcony and the view was stunning day or night. Being English, we like a cup of tea in our room, not the Nespresso provided. However, the staff happily provided a kettle, teabags and fresh milk from breakfast every day. You just have to ask and the staff are happy to do what they can. Beautifully cleaned every day and breakfast was a feast. Bacon and eggs every day plus a range of breads, cheese, cake, fruit and jam. You’d be hard pressed not to find something you wanted to eat. The pool bar provides delicious snacks at a reasonable cost. It is a 30 minute walk into the town centre along the beach and well used road with no footpath in places. The initial part is over a rocky area and packing a torch would be useful for the walk home. The hotel itself is situated on a hill and there are a number of steps to the higher rooms. Just take your time and enjoy the exercise to work off the holiday excesses.

Great hotel with a beautiful view of the beach and the bay. Lovely pool area and bar. Really friendly staff. Lovely breakfast too. Can’t fault it and would highly recommend. Good variety of restaurants and bars nearby too. We had a perfect week.

Love the location of the hotel around the bay away from the main town. It’s a 30 minute slow walk to the port or around 15 mins to the first few tabernas on the beach via a gravel track and beach walk which is the best way to reach everything. You need to be a bit careful on an evening to avoid tripping up but if you take your time it is very easy to navigate. Pool area is lovely and well maintained with views across the bay where you can see all the vessels coming and going. Rooms are very modern and spacious , ours had two balconies with great views would have been nice to have a kettle to make a drink in the room, they do have Nespresso but charge for these (1.50) the bathroom had everything you could need accept possibly some tissues. We found the staff friendly when approached but they left you to your own devices otherwise. Double air conditioning in the room was a real plus and yes there are lots of steps to reach some of the rooms at the top of the complex but they are manageable if you take your time otherwise you can walk up the sloped driveway at the side of the hotel to get to the rooms. You had a choice of hot and cold options for breakfast which was adequate for us and kept us full till we needed lunch.

Frankly I have hesitated in writing a review for the Parian Village as I have to tell you how good it is and then you will go and there will not be a room available for us but I have to because they deserve it! Lovely hotel with brilliant rooms and superb staff. For us it's like going to a second home. There are not enough words to express how much we enjoy staying here every year.

Pros: The views from the pool and breakfast area are truly beautiful. The pool is nice. Very close to the beach in Parikia. Cons: I'd read that the path to the hotel from Parikia is along the beach, but it's also rocky and can be a bit precarious at night. The breakfast was ok with not many hot options, could be better. We didn't find the staff to be overly friendly or helpful, more transactional, which put us a bit on edge when dealing with them. The shower seemed to be solar powered, so showers are cold early in the morning - not ideal. There is no kettle in the room. Would be good to get a complimentary bottle of water on arrival at least, given how far away shops are in the town.
