We were very happy with this hotel! Yes it is basic, but with a reasonable price also - we paid 50 euro/ night / doubleroom. Hard beds are standard in Greece, also pillows are hard. But why are all the pools so incredible cold?? What is the point in having a pool if guests cannot swim in it? Solar energy... more

Its hard to find a hotel that is truly gay-friendly, but the Best Western Paradise hotel proved to be just that for this group of ten, close friends. We had a delightful time. The hotel was great, the staff welcoming and the manager attentive. We hired quad bikes during our stay and raced around the island, feeling the breeze in... more

We stayed at this Hotel for 2 nights. We found the staff to be very helpful. It is out of the way if you are looking for action you would find in Oia or Fira, but still can highly recommend if looking for something quiet. more

The grounds of the hotel are picture perfect. The rooms are very basic, beds extremely uncomfortable, and the linen on the beds very old and over washed. Not your standard BW hotel in the US, with white towels and comfortable beds. The staff working the front desk, they are OK, if you do not have a complaint. We did not... more

Arrived to an abraisive front desk. Were not provided with blankets, until we argued that we would require them - they provided us with curtains instead. When the hot water was not working - they further argued with us that we obviously didn't know how to turn on the taps properly (we're both respectable intelligent individuals) - they finally, after... more

The pool and grounds of this hotel were beautiful, and we had a great time spending two full days just lounging by the pool. We were there just after the peak season had ended, so the poolside snack bar wasn't open, but there's a restaurant (great pizza) and a small convenience store about 20 yards from the lobby. The rooms,... more

I Just got back from a stay at the "Best Western" in Akrotiri. It is also called The Paradise Hotel. Far from Paradise, the stay at the hotel was awful. While the property was not up to Best Western standards, most of my problems with the managers of the hotel. They were rude, unapologetic and unhelpful. They actually yelled at... more

We stayed a week in the Best Western Paradise Hotel and really enjoyed it. Akrotiri is very small and quiet (in May anyway) and not suitable unless you want to completely relax. Mr & Mrs Papalexis were v. nice and helpful. Only complaint was the rather hard bed, but unfortunately this is not uncommon in Europe unless you stay in... more

The two of us were met (e-mail request = 15euros total, one way) at Sea Port by a big Greek man arguing with friends (or were they ?); didn't help us with bags, drove d hazardly (passed buses and cars at uphill turns, speeding, honking slow cars in front of us ...). He spoke twice in the Hotel bus; both... more
