Parga Beach Resort

Up to date review for thisFamily-Friendly Beachfront Hotel This was our first visit to this hotel, and we left thoroughly impressed. We went on a bed/breakfast basis for 2 weeks with Jet2 holidays.   The hotel is about an hour’s transfer from the local airport. Because the access road is quite narrow, some coaches can’t get all the way to the entrance, which may mean a short walk—but staff are on hand to collect your luggage. The layout of the hotel is pleasantly spread out, with several smaller pools scattered throughout rather than one main pool. This setup allowed our children to choose their favourite spot each day: one pool was right on the beach, another next to the restaurant and kids’ club, and several others dotted across the property. The hotel’s beach area is beautiful, with crystal-clear water that was perfect for snorkelling. Sun loungers are available, though the front row fills up early; even spots further back are still conveniently close to the sea. The kids’ club was a highlight—booking is required, but our children absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the activities varied daily. The hotel also offers a teenage club, beach movie night and a games room, which our children enjoyed. There’s a gym, a spa, and several restaurants on-site. Mornings could start with breakfast overlooking the sea or at the other main restaurant, Kokona, on the other side of the hotel. The staff were always accommodating and met every need with genuine hospitality. We stayed in an Eden room, which featured an attic area for the children—ideal for families as we could supervise them easily. The room was kept immaculately clean. The wardrobe space was a bit limited, but the extra upstairs area made up for it. Our balcony was small but offered a view of one of the smaller pools and was conveniently located near the kids’ club. Both the food and cocktails were excellent. On some evenings, there was live music in the restaurants, creating a relaxed atmosphere. We attended the Greek night but found it really expensive and too crowded for the dance floor, though the plate-throwing and dancing were entertaining. Overall, dining was enjoyable and varied, breakfast was lovely with everything on offer and it never felt too busy. Parga itself is a beautiful area. Our hotel was situated on the other side of a hill from the town centre. You can catch a water taxi straight from the hotel’s beach to Parga harbour, where the main promenade is lined with restaurants. There are also several restaurants within a five-minute walk of the hotel—all of which we tried, and none of them disappointed us. We spent relaxing afternoons at the Tango Bar and Restaurant next door, which has a massive pool, kids pool and playground; it is also perfectly situated right on the beach. We took a boat trip with the Marco Polo Company, which we highly recommend. Unlike other tour operators who seemed to overload their boats, Marco Polo kept numbers comfortable and p

Overall resort looks nice, with lots of flowers and trees. We had half board, which translates into a very complex experience. You can have breakfast buffet in 2 restaurants(out of 3), but dinner only in 1. Then as extra you get 3 "à la carte" dinners in the other 2 restaurants, however in one of the 2 you can only order some of the items(not mentioned in their app - so if you want to order something not included you have to pay it entirely), while in the other restaurant you have a credit of 25e for adults and 12e for children. We asked at the reception if we can change one of the dinners for a lunch and they said yes, just once, which we did but had the surprise that we actually changed dinner buffet to lunch, so we had to pay the dinner buffet (maybe it was a misunderstanding because of the hotel person not speaking English very well). In the end, why make it so confusing? The Greek night is not worth the hype, you get some "cold" hot appetizers, because they try to fit lots of people and by the time you get the food it is cold. You get to choose between chicken or pork gyros and that's it, no other options. We had a far nicer Greek night in Crete with barbeque buffet cooked in front of us, on top of the usual buffet. No need to break plates in 2025 anymore just for fun(even though they were made of special material). No way to recycle it... And the most embarrassing is to have waiters that turn your nose and stomach upside down not on just one occasion, but every single day ( and from meters away). When asking at checkout for a way to give my feedback for improving the guest experience, the receptionist said they don't have a way to do that. It's a shame as the location is perfect, the beach is nice and clean, but definitely there are things to improve.

Lovely resort by the sea with many small swimmingpools. Very friendly people working there. Lots of family with children. If you want to have little more quiet, this IS not your place. Nice that in the morning breakfast time, small area was only adults. Lovely kittens live in the area.
