Avant Mar Paros

We would have stayed for a month if we could. The service, the food, the whole resort is so relaxing and lush. My only complaint is the bathroom in the room. It's incredibly small and the shower has no door so the bathroom floor gets flooded easily when you take a shower.

It was our first visit to Paros, and we couldn't have choosen a better hotel. Surely the best well located Hotel in the island with direct access to the beach and 3 minutes walking distance from Naoussa. Very beautiful rooms with a fantastic swimming pool area. Breakfast and lunch were extremly good (including Pastry Shop 😋). Finally a sincere compliment to all Staff. Extremely kind and available during all Stay. Congratulations Avant Paros and LHW!

We had a wonderful stay at Avant Mar. The hotel is well-located—just a short two-minute walk to town with great shopping and restaurants. The staff was warm and professional; Alexandra greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed, and Yanus helped arrange our car service and activities like a visit to Antiparos and a local winery. The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, stocked with Aesop products, and housekeeping came by multiple times a day. Breakfast was delicious with fresh omelettes, pastries, and juice each morning. We also enjoyed the relaxing pool area and great beach service. Avant Mar had everything we needed for a comfortable and easy stay—we’d definitely come back with family.

My rating is an average of 5 stars for the staff/service and 1 star for the room (there's no 0 stars which is what the rooms deserved). The staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to help. They responded to the WhatsApp chat very quickly and did a good job a of arranging reservations and transportation for us. But there's no reason a hotel room should be that small. I was at a holiday inn express in Hong Kong 6 weeks ago that was bigger than the Avant Mar room. They don't lie about it, they tell you upfront that the room is 26m, but a 'luxury' hotel should not even offer a 26m room. If the hotel was on the corner of 5th Avenue and 57th st. in Manhattan, I could understand. But in the middle of nowhere how much money in land could you actually be saving by squeezing so many rooms onto such a small parcel of land? Unnecessary. The room doesn't have a bathroom, it has a shower that they somehow shoved a toilet and sink into. When you're brushing your teeth, you're brushing your teeth in the shower. When you're using the toilet, you're using the toilet in the shower. It's just a showerhead in the middle of the room. When you go to brush your teeth an hour after showering your feet are wet because then entire 'bathroom' floor is wet because you're brushing your teeth in a shower. When you're using the toilet your feet get wet from the shower water. When you shower you soak your toiletry case because the countertop is 24 inches from the shower head - EVERYTHING gets wet when you shower. It's so small that when you shower you have to put the tiny garbage can in fronlnt of the toilet and when you want to use the toilet you have to move the garbage can to underbthe showerhead. You can't live out of your suitcase because there's not enough floor area to lay the suitcase down. The 'closet' is 1 small shelf below the hanging clothes. So we had to stack 2 people's clothing 10 layers high to get it all in. And then the 2 suitcases sit literally in the doorway for the rest of the trip because that's the only floor area in this shoebox they call a room. You're dodging suitcases every time you walk in and out of the room. The pool and pool area were great. We ate at the Nobu restaurant one night and that was fabulous. The breakfast sad a bit sad. There was no buffet, just bread and butter and jam and the breakfast menu was very limited. But the orange and Grapefruit juice they serve at breakfast was probably the best I've ever had.

Beautiful hotel with great food and ambience, however the room for the price was minute especially since this was a Fine Hotels suggestion fromAmerican Express. Dinner at Matsuhisa (Nobu) was grossly overrated and overpriced.

This is our first trip to Greece and our first time to Paros so the location of Avant Mar is wonderful! We were traveling with a group of friends including couples and families, so we kept the staff very busy upon arrival and they became very supportive of our hopes and needs for the trip. The manager in particular, took time to meet with me and was very flexible and kind to ensure our Avant Mar experience was amazing. The breakfasts included in the morning are wonderful and the staff have been very attentive to our preferences - ensuring swift service paired with delicious food and drinks. The beach is calm and relaxing, and right at the hotel. The staff have a WhatsApp channel which makes communications easy - we are very grateful for how special they have made our stay. We would definitely recommend Avant Mar for anyone considering a trip to this most beautiful part of the world.
