The staff are what make this property exceptional! There were a couple of issues with our booking on arrival, so the first night we had to stay in a different room. The next day we spoke to Georgia (manager) and she was brilliant! She listened to our concerns and addressed each one. She then went above and beyond, to make the rest of our stay memorable. We were upgraded to the junior suite with swim up, which was incredible! We also had a couples massage, which is would definitely recommend! On my husband's birthday (reason for the trip) we were surprised by the wonderful maitre d' David with a cake and champagne by the beach! Katerina on reception also helped us with late checkout on our departure day so we could really make the most of our time there!

Paralos Lifestyle Beach was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. We booked a swim‑up suite and it exceeded every expectation — spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. The terrace had sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon, which worked perfectly: lazy poolside mornings followed by afternoons on the gorgeous beach just steps away. What truly made the stay unforgettable was the staff. Every interaction felt warm and genuine, and in the restaurant especially, they went above and beyond. It never felt forced — just sincere hospitality that elevated every moment. The resort itself is small but wonderfully maintained, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The adults‑only atmosphere was blissful and ideal for couples, friends, or even a mum‑and‑daughter escape. The location is great too, with several lovely lunch spots nearby. We hired a car, and the hotel is only a short, easy drive from the airport. Roads were smooth, drivers were predictable, and exploring the island felt relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, Paralos Lifestyle Beach delivered everything we hoped for: calm, comfort, great service, and a touch of luxury. A truly memorable stay.

Nice relaxing place and the hotel room was excellent. Recommended

Really nice aesthetics

This hotel has a really relaxed vibe and is great for couples. The food was fantastic with a real range. It was great to have the optional al la carte restaurant included once in our stay. There are a real range of rooms including rooms with swim up suites and private pools. A few tips, let the hotel know if you prefer shade or full sun all day. Some of the suites were in full sun all day and may have been uncomfortable. Also, some suites are near the bar- the bar is quite quiet but if you want to have a really quiet stay (like us) I would let the hotel know. There is an outdoor venue next to the hotel. It can be loud a few times per week but the two evening when there was a gig, the noise was finished by 10:30pm or 11:30pm. We would absolutely return to this hotel. It has a really luxurious feel and the staff were all amazing!

Le service, le gens , la nourriture, la propreté des lieux magnifiques!! un très grand merci à Marina et toute l’équipe qui ont été fantastique dans tous les domaines !! Merci infiniment, je reviendrai 😎😊

Super easy checkin and out! Plus personality with the staff. Definitely will be back.

Very relaxing hotel. The rooms with direct pool access are amazing and the large pools and beach area offer a great location to unwind. The service was excellent throughout the stay.

This place is perfect for a stay off the beaten path. There are a few good restaurants, beach bars, and even a small dance club within walking distance. The property itself has a private beach with push button ordering service. The photo is the private beach area, always had a seat. I can’t complain about anything! We really enjoyed a weekend here. It is 15€ to Heraklion town center. No reason to rent a car.

Amazing property and even more amazing staff! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The property is clean and well kept. Would highly recommend.

exactly as advertised. great spot
