First, i want to acknowledge how much doing a good research on this site before hand has permitted to know very well in advance what i would be getting. Here is an advice to get the most out of tripadvisor. Dont consider reviews that are artificially low. Someone rating a 4-5 start hotel with half a star or worse had... More

Definitely middle of the road. I can't think of incredibly horrible things to say or incredibly good things to say about the Great Parnassus. If it weren't for the people who worked there, then it probably would have only gotten one star from me. DeeDee in the kids club was great, she kept my two girls (ages 7 and 4)... More

We know someone who stayed there last year and was happy. Not to bad building, (elevators terribly long wait and stop at every or most floors once on) food hit or miss anyplace, pools not to bad, activities good at pools, bars and drinks hit and miss- good name brands but soda flat/watered down taste at any location even restaurants...

We booked our holiday in this hotel with Thomas Cook and went from 18 Dec to 1 Jan. The hotel was very attractive and clean. In fact, it was cleaned the whole time (people picking up cups and plates left around). It is spectacular to look at with a huge atrium set up to look like a boulevard. The room... More

We booked 15 rooms for a company trip January 2012. The Hotel is large, so we were optimistic that we would enjoy a good variety of food and entertainment. To start the trip we waited 1/2 hour in line just to check-in. One lady was trying to get drinks for people, but when there are 50-60 people in line that's... More

The island itself is intoxicating and at first glance you think you're in paradise. However, The Great Parnassus could stand a Great Renovation. Our room was nice but the bathroom really needs to be updated, the entire plumbing needs an upgrade. The food is hit or miss, more misses than hits. I ate lots of fruit and tuna sandwiches. I...

I traveled with a group of 11 people the beginning of January. We had four rooms scattered throughout hotel. All rooms were very clean and had amazing views. The maid service did great and we always had clean towels. The food was good to very good. We ate at Big Ben's and Portofino twice, both times the food was excellent... More

We enjoyed our stay. The room was large and slept 3 people since there was a fold down couch that was very comfortable. The bathroom was large but could use some updating. The service in most of the hotel was pretty good except in the restaurants. The food in the specialty restaurants was fair at best. Out of 4 nights,... More

The thing is about reading these reviews, is most people have something else to compare it to. People who have never stayed at a real 4 star or higher resort probably would not know the difference. We always stay at one of the Palace resorts(moon, beach, cancun, or sun). If you compare this resort to any of the previous mentioned,... More
